Risk Factors
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock.
8
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
1. There is substantial uncertainty as to whether we will continue operations. If we discontinue operations, you could lose your investment.
Our auditors have discussed their uncertainty regarding our business operations in their audit report dated January 12, 2007. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such, we may have to cease operations and you could lose your entire investment.
2. We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. There is no assurance our future operations will result in profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, we may suspend or cease operations.
We were incorporated on July 7, 2006 and we have not realized any revenues. We have very little operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception to July 7, 2006 is $5,075. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
- completion of this offering
- our ability to attract customers who will buy the current products of Avia Mir
- our ability to attract and enter into distribution and marketing agreements with other travel agencies and tour operators
- our ability to generate revenues from our current marketing and agency agreement with Avia Mir
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
3. We are mainly dependent upon the funds to be raised in this offering to advance our business, the proceeds of which may be insufficient to achieve adequate revenues to remain in business. We may need to obtain additional financing which may not be available, which could cause us to cease operations.
We have limited operations. We need the proceeds from this offering to pay for marketing and continued development of our website. If the maximum of $375,000 is raised, this amount will enable us, after paying the expenses of this offering, to fulfill our obligations to Avia Mir and begin promotion of the Avia Mir products. We may need additional funds to complete further development of our business plan to achieve a sustainable sales level where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available, or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. If we are not able to obtain needed financing, we may have to cease operations. We anticipate that if we are successful in raising $45,000, the $34,460 proceeds net of offering costs will enable us to operate for approximately one year. If we are successful in raising the maximum of $375,000, our intention is to increase our spending in the areas of operations, marketing and distribution and we expect these proceeds to last us approximately 24 months.
9
4. Our only source of potential revenue is our marketing and agency agreement with Avia Mir. If the agreement is terminated, we may not find another source of income.
We intend to generate revenue as per our agreement with Avia Mir. If the agreement is terminated, we may not find another source of income and may have to suspend or cease operations. Our marketing and agency agreement with Avia Mir has an initial term of two years. There is no guarantee that we will be able to renew this agreement after this term has been completed upon acceptable terms. As well, the agreement provides that Avia Mir may terminate it if we fail to perform any material provision of the agreement and fail to cure the default within 30 days after receiving written notice from Avia Mir of the default. If the marketing and agency agreement is terminated, we will not have any business operations and our future will depend on management’s ability to negotiate and execute additional agreements to market similar products.
5.Our plan to develop relationships with strategic partners and vendors may not be successful.
As part of our business strategy, we will need to develop short- and long-term relationships with vendors in travel industry in order to enter into sales agreements for our products. For these efforts to succeed, we must identify partners and vendors whose competencies complement ours. We must also enter into agreements with them on attractive terms and integrate and coordinate their resources and capabilities with our own. If we are unsuccessful in our collaborative efforts, our ability to generate revenue and market products could be severely limited or delayed.
6.Our future success is dependent on our existing key employees, and hiring and assimilating new key employees, and our inability to attract or retain key personnel in the future would materially harm our business and results of operations.
Our success depends on the continuing efforts and abilities of our current management team. In addition, our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees, including management, technical and sales personnel. The loss of services of any of our key personnel, the inability to attract or retain key personnel in the future, or delays in hiring required personnel could materially harm our business and results of operations. We may be unable to identify and attract highly qualified employees in the future. In addition, we may not be able to successfully assimilate these employees or hire qualified personnel to replace them.
7. Our operating results may prove unpredictable which could negatively affect our operating results.
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include the following:
- our ability to generate enough working capital from future equity sales;
- the level of acceptance by general public and industry insiders of Avia Mir products;
- unanticipated fluctuations in price of the Avia Mir products;
- the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; and
- general economic conditions
If realized, any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
10
8. Because our management does not have prior experience in marketing and brand development in the travel industry, our business has a higher risk of failure.
Even though our director has prior experience in the travel industry, she does not have experience in distribution and marketing of products. As a result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of opportunities without the aid of qualified marketing and business development consultants. Our director’s decisions and choices may not be well thought out and our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
9. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our efforts in marketing of our services and products. As a result, we may be dependent solely on our exclusive marketing and agency agreement with Avia Mir to earn profit. If we do not make a profit, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our efforts in marketing of our products. We intend to generate revenue through our current marketing and agency agreement with Avia Mir and by entering into new agreements with other travel agencies and tour operators in the travel industry. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract new customers and will be dependent on our existing marketing agreement to generate revenue. We may not be able to operate profitably from our agreement with Avia Mir. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
10. Our revenue is highly dependent on the travel and transportation industries and a prolonged decrease in travel booking volumes would reduce our revenue.
We expect that most of our revenue will be derived from our contracts with travel agencies, tour operators, and other suppliers in the travel and transportation industries. Our revenue may increase and decrease with the level of travel and transportation activity and is therefore highly subject to declines in or disruptions to travel and transportation due to factors entirely out of our control. Factors that may adversely affect travel and transportation activity include:
- Economic downturns and recessions;
- Global security issues, political instability, acts of terrorism, hostilities and war;
- Increased airport security that could reduce the convenience of air travel;
- Inclement weather,
- Increased occurrence of travel-related accidents;
- The financial condition of travel sellers.
11. Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale.
12. Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares which are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of the shares to decline.
Our shares would be classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities
11
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) which impose additional sales practice requirements on brokers-dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale for you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
There is no established market for the common stock being registered. We intend to apply to the OTC Bulletin Board for the trading of our common stock. This process takes at least three months and the application must be made on our behalf by a market maker, but we have not yet engaged a market maker to make the application on our behalf. If our common stock becomes listed and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of the shares will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations, which may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any shares your purchase from Grand Motion, Inc.
13. We do not intend to pay dividends and there will be less ways in which you can make a gain on any investment in Grand Motion.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may likely prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in Grand Motion will need to come through appreciation of the stock’s price.
14. Because our directors will own 57.1 % of our outstanding common stock, if minimum amount of the offering will be sold, they could make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to other minority shareholders.
Our director owns 100% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this offering. If minimum amount of the shares will be sold, our director will own 57.1% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, she will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. She will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our director may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
Use of Proceeds

These costs include rent, telephone service, mail, stationery, accounting, acquisition of office equipment and supplies, costs of paying an administrative assistant, expenses of filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, travel, and general working capital.
Determination of Offering Price
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $375,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:
- our lack of operating history
- the proceeds to be raised by the offering
- the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing shareholder, and
- our cash requirements
Dilution of the Price you Pay for Your Shares
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets.
As of November 30, 2006, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a deficit of $(4,675) or approximately $(0.0012) per share based upon 4,000,000 shares outstanding.
If 100% of the shares are sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 29,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $370,325, or approximately $0.0128 per share. The amount of dilution you will incur will be $0.0022 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing shareholder will be increased by $0.014 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.015 per share to $0.0128 per share.
13
After completion of this offering, if 25,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 86.21% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $375,000, or $0.015 per share. Our existing shareholders will own approximately 13.79% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash, of $400, or $0.0001 per share.
If 75% of the shares are sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 22,750,000 shares to be outstanding will be $ 276,575, or approximately $ 0.0121 per share. The amount of dilution you will incur will be $ 0.0029 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $ 0.0133 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.015 per share to $ 0.0121 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 18,750,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 82.41% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $281,250, or $0.015 per share. Our existing shareholder will own approximately 17.59% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash, totaling $400.
If the minimum number of the shares is sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 12% or the minimum amount of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $ 40,325 or approximately $ 0.0057 per share. The amount of dilution you will incur will be $ 0.0093 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $ 0.0047 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.015 per share to $ 0.0057 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 3,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 42.85% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $45,000, or $0.015 per share.

Travel Industry Overview
Travel and Tourism is a $1.3 trillion industry in the United States. Travel and Tourism generates $100
17
billion in tax revenue for local, state, and federal governments which makes it one of the country's largest employers with 7.3 million direct travel-generated jobs. International travelers spent $93 billion in the U.S. and spending by resident and international travelers in the U.S. averaged $1.7 billion a day. The travel and tourism industry is one of America's largest service exports with $93 billion spent by international visitors in the U.S.
This year’s report reveals that domestic and international travelers spent an estimated $654 billion in the United States in 2005, nearly 8% more than the year before. This year, total traveler spending is expected to reach $740 billion, an increase of 5.3% from last year
According to Unity Marketing, there are 30.2 million households with incomes of $75,000 (defined as near-affluent and affluent), with an average income of $137,500. At the upper end, there are 1.7 million households with incomes of $250,000, averaging $438,338 per household per year. Spending by affluent households on luxuries, including luxuries for the home, personal luxuries, automobiles and luxury experiences, rose 3.8 percent, to an average of $52,588 in 2005, from $50,640 in 2004. But their spending continues to shift towards the experiential. Spending on luxury experiences, including travel, dining, entertainment, spas and beauty services and home services, nearly doubled, from an average of $11,632 in 2004 to $22,746 in 2005 - a 95.5 percent increase.(Source: Hotel News Resource)
The outlook for luxury travel is considered to be very favorable as the first wave of Baby Boomers turn 60, boding well for the future of luxury and spa vacations. This larger and more affluent than ever before group of leisure travelers is demanding more vacation options and products as they eagerly attempt to quench their thirst for travel experiences. America's suburban families are growing up - and out. As baby boomers say good-bye to their adult children, this career-driven segment of society is rediscovering leisure time. This new population moving from full-time work to more leisure time and enjoys health and well-being oriented tourism.
Spa Travel Industry Overview
As the Western baby boom generation reaches retirement age, the market for both medical and health and wellness tourism is growing. With more cash and free time than ever before the over 50's are looking to enjoy themselves and look after their health. Medical and therapy healthcare provision is often very expensive or inadequate in major Western markets at home, so advanced but more economical facilities in Eastern European countries are moving to supply the need.
Health and wellness tourism is broken down into two main sectors; traveling for medical treatments that are cheaper or better than can be obtained in the home country and traveling for a holiday that includes health and wellness treatments or pampering.
The cost of providing healthcare either by a national health service, or through private medical insurance grows ever more expensive. Costs in Western countries have risen rapidly since 2000, and more cost effective medical treatment in less developed countries has encouraged over-burdened national health providers to outsource medical procedures where possible. Many new providers have developed around the world, but we have seen particular growth and development in Eastern Europe.
With this increased tourist traffic and the move away from a purely medical emphasis on healthcare, comes health and wellness tourism. Consumers can now combine a visit to a new destination with health and wellness therapies and treatments. A typical health and wellness tourist regime encompasses a destination day spa as part of a short-break, offering treatments relating to body, mind and spirit.
18
Visitors check in for a day or more program of options ranging from education, fitness and healthy meals to beauty and physiotherapy sessions in a spa environment.
Spa hotels are seeing good growth, with the spa itself being the prime draw, not just an add-on and the sector is currently driving market growth in Europe. According to the International Spa Association, the sector can be broken down further into mineral spring, club, medical and resort/hotel spa. Aromatherapeutic massages, skin treatments and natural hot springs are the most popular activities carried out on health and wellness holidays while less common services such as electro treatment, hydro-kenesis and intestinal flushing are becoming increasingly popular.
Locations are also offering increasingly diverse ranges such as spa cuisine (reflected in the demand for spa chefs), spa cooking classes, recipe books and the creation of popular diet programmes. This has since become a key offering for many resorts. One such resort is the Danubius Thermal Hotel Margitszigit in Hungary that offers spa cuisine with dietary programmes alongside.
In order to capitalise on this trend many countries now actively market themselves as health and wellness destinations and the marketing on most national websites reflects this. Eastern European locations such as Bled in Slovenia offer beautiful surroundings and health spas for a complete relaxing experience. Piestany Spa in Slovakia is a famous Eastern European spa that offers high quality medical and leisure services at prices even lower than the Czech Republic. Slovenia and Hungary are trying to culture their position as a health and wellness location, as part of the national identity.
Our Services
We plan to distribute and market specialty tours, spa packages and wellness-oriented vacations in Europe and Asia to the United States market. We plan to work primarily with travel agencies, tour operators and travel industry wholesalers located in Europe and Asia by offering marketing and distribution of their products in the United States of America. We will enter into exclusive distribution and marketing agreements to promote their products for a commission of sales generated as a result of Grand Motion efforts.
Our business plan focuses on two main products to market:
1)Spa destinations targeted to U.S. Travelers: |
There are three main categories of products we want to market to U.S. customers
| - | Luxurious and high end spa destinations in countries such as France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. The European spas offer not only spa treatments as generally known to North American customers, they have technologically sophisticated spa centers, offering professional medical assistance, diagnostics and a complete selection of therapies: thermal, hydro, fitness, relaxation as well as special medically assisted diet programs. Many modern European spas have natural spring thermal pools and offer many other fitness and relaxation activities. Examples of these include spas such as Fonteverde Thermal Springs and Resort in France, the Lausanne Palace & Spa in Switzerland, Mezzatorre Resort & Spa in Italy, and Schlosshotel Buhlerhohe in Germany. |
| | |
| - | Reasonably priced spa destinations for budget minded travelers in Eastern European countries such as Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Lithuania and Russia. |
19
| | We intent to promote well-known Eastern European spas that have an excellent reputation for their health and rehabilitation programs to North American travelers. |
| | |
| - | North American spas and resorts for travelers who do not want to leave the continent. Despite the fact that there is a wide selection of resorts and spas in North America, many of them are not widely known. It may be difficult for people to do enough research to locate spas and resorts that are targeted to the customer’s specific needs, such as special medical and fitness treatments, specifically designed diet programs or just stress relief and relaxation treatments. |
| | |
2) | North American spas, wellness vacations and outdoor adventure holidays targeted to Eastern European customers. |
| | |
| - | There are many spas and resorts in North America that are virtually unknown to Eastern European travelers. Wellness and beauty holidays are now becoming extremely popular among Eastern European tourists due to an increased awareness in health and beauty. For example spa visits are now top on the list of holiday priorities by Eastern European travelers, as they appreciate the high quality of North American spa facilities. Many North American wellness destinations have not been promoted aggressively to Eastern Europeans due to language barriers and economical reasons. We intent to promote and market North American Spas and Outdoor Adventure holidays to Russian and other Eastern European travelers. |
Our services to these companies will consist of consultation on brand strategy, marketing services, sales and distribution of their products. We plan to create and distribute a specially designed catalogue of Spa and Wellness destinations for fall/winter season and spring/summer season. We want to categorize wellness vacations by destinations and by topics of treatments and services.
We intent to built a web portal and we registered domain name for that purposewww.grandmotion.com
The web portal will list all the destinations and packages we will market, descriptions of spas, services and treatments provided at each destination, as well as customer reviews and suggestions from experts and tourists who have visited the destinations. When a visitor makes the decision to purchase a vacation package or reserve a room in a featured resort or spa, they will be redirected to our partner’s website where they will complete the booking process.
On November 20, 2006 we entered into a Marketing and Agency Agreement (“Agreement”) with Avia Mir to market and distribute Avia Mir’s products, which include specialty spa tours and wellness-oriented vacation packages.
In accordance with the Agreement, Grand Motion has agreed to provide Avia Mir with a comprehensive marketing plan for the next two years and to execute the marketing plan through various activities, including but not limited to: development of the Grand Motion web portal, public relations, market research, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, viral marketing, trade show exhibits, Internet analytics, print advertising, one to one marketing and direct mail campaigns.
Grand Motion will market Avia Mir products to general public and industry insiders in the United States. In addition Grand Motion will assist Avia Mir in initiating and finalizing the sale of their products to U.S. consumers. In consideration for its services, Avia Mir will pay Grand Motion an amount equal to 5% of the gross sales of Avia Mir products generated through Grand Motion efforts on a quarterly basis.

Competition
We face competition from established as well as other emerging travel distribution companies, which could divert customers to our competitors and significantly reduce our revenue and profitability.
General Travel
Our business involves providing marketing and promotion of travel products to travel agents and general public and we face significant competition in all aspects of this business. With respect to travel agencies, we compete primarily against large and well-established agencies as well as small independent travel agencies that offer similar products. With respect to online bookings and purchasing travel related products we face completion from well established and well funded online travel sites such aswww.expedia.com,www.travelocity.com ,www.exit.ca,www.orbitz.com,www.priceline.com to name a few.
Spa, wellness and wilderness experience travel
There are many companies that offer specialty travel products, such as spa and wellness tourism and wilderness experience tours online as well as in more traditional offline format. Some of these companies include: Trafalgar Tours (http://www.trafalgar.com), Gap Adventures (http://www.gapadventures.com), Destination Spa Group (http://www.destinationspas.com), Intourist (http://ecotours-intourist.ru), Exeter International (http://www.exeterinternational.com), The Nordic Company (http://www.nordicco.com), Rapsody Tours (http://www.rhapsodytours.com), and Globus (http://www.globusjourneys.ca).
We expect existing competitors and new entrants to the travel business to constantly revise and improve their business models in response to challenges from competing businesses. If these or other travel industry participants introduce changes or developments that we cannot meet in a timely or cost-effective manner, our revenue and profitability could be reduced.
In addition, consolidation within travel industry may give our competitors increased negotiating leverage with travel sellers and greater marketing resources, thereby providing corresponding competitive advantages over us.
Marketing
We intend to market our products in the United States according to the strategy to be agreed upon with Avia Mir. As per the Agreement, we will create a comprehensive marketing plan for Avia Mir products. After the marketing plan is finalized, Grand Motion will assume the responsibility for executing the marketing plan, which will include execution of any and all marketing activities.

Advertising
Direct-to-consumer promotion will involve media purchases in magazines, television, newspaper and online advertising targeted to consumers with an interest in wellness travel.
Mass-media promotion will include conducting public relations campaigns, generating press releases, holding or sponsoring events with the purpose of receiving publicity in the media and creating a press kit. Grand Motion intends to subcontract some of these services to professionals with more expertise, such as agencies who specialize in public relations.
Web Portal and Catalogue
The web portal (www.grandmotion.com) and bi-annual catalogue will be essential in our strategy to promote European and Asian spa destinations and wellness vacation packages to the U.S. market. We will focus on promotion of the web portal through our other marketing activities. The web portal will be a comprehensive site for travelers interested in wellness vacations in Europe and Asia. We expect to spend a significant amount of resources on development and promotion of the web portal. The Grand Motion Catalogue will be a printed version of the web portal, listing all offerings and contact information of the tour operators who sell the vacation packages.
Trademarks and Copyrights
We have not filed for any protection of our trademarks.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
We are a start-up stage corporation with limited operations and no revenues from our business operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there
24
is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months. Our revenue will not be sales but instead be commission earned on the gross sales of the private company of Avia Mir. We do not anticipate that we will generate significant commission revenues until we have developed the web portal and catalogue and marketed both sufficiently to generate sales through those sources, and subsequently commission for us. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. If we raise the minimum amount through this offering, we will be able to begin performing the duties we have agreed to in the Agreement with Avia Mir and remain in business for twelve months. If we are unable to generate revenues after the twelve months for any reason, or if we are unable to make a reasonable profit after twelve months, we may have to cease operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. If we raise the minimum amount of money from this offering, it will last for twelve months but with limited funds available to build and grow our business. If we raise the maximum amount, we believe the money will last for three years and also provide funds for growth strategy. If we raise less than the maximum amount and we need more money we will have to revert to obtaining additional money through a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
Plan of Operation
Assuming that we raise the minimum amount in this offering, we believe we can satisfy our cash requirements during the next 12 months. We do not expect significant changes in the number of employees. Currently, we do not have any employees.
Upon completion of our public offering, our specific goal will be to fulfill our duties as per the Agreement with Avia Mir. We intend to finalize the marketing plan for Avia Mir products, develop the web portal and begin marketing activity to attract potential customers to the web portal. We intend to accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:
1. Complete our public offering. We believe that we will raise sufficient capital to continue our operations.
We believe this could take up to 270 days from the date the Commission declares our offering effective. We intend to concentrate all of our efforts on raising as much capital as we can during this period. If we have not raised the maximum amount of capital during the first 180 days of this offering, our management may decide to extend this offering by 90 days.
2. If we are successful in raising the maximum amount of this offering ($364,460 net after anticipated offering expenses), we intend to secure new offices and hire a general administrative assistant. We expect the cost of a new office will be approximately $800 per month rent, plus $200 per month for utilities such as telephone, fax and internet. If we do not raise the maximum proceeds, or close to the maximum, we will continue to use existing office space. If we only raise the minimum amount, our President will perform most of the administrative tasks required to operate our business. If we raise the full amount and hire an administrative assistant, we expect it will cost us approximately $2,000 per month.
25
3. If we raise the minimum amount of this offering ($34,460 net after anticipated offering expenses), we will focus on development of the web portal (www.grandmotion.com) to introduce Avia Mir tours to the U.S. market. The web portal will also integrate with Avia Mir reservation system to direct consumers interested in booking a tour or a room in a spa or resort to complete the transaction on the Avia Mir website. We will assist Avia Mir with editing their website for the U.S. consumer. For this purpose, we will hire a web design studio in the U.S. with experience in website for the travel industry. Launch of the web portal will allow us to earn revenue from commission on sales generated through the web portal. We estimate the cost of the web portal for the initial launch to be approximately $12,000.
We believe we will begin generating revenues within nine months of completing our offering.
4. We believe it will cost a minimum of $7,000 for execution of our marketing plan for the web portal over the next 12 months. If we raise the maximum amount of proceeds from the offering, we will devote an additional $70,000 to the marketing of the Grand Motion web portal. To achieve this, we will hire a marketing specialist who will work full-time on purchasing online advertising and print advertising to promote the web portal. We expect the hire will cost us approximately $2,500 per month. Marketing is an ongoing matter which will continue during the life of our operations.
5. If we raise the maximum amount of this offering, we will proceed with creation of the Grand Motion print catalogue to advertise current products of Avia Mir. We will hire a graphic design agency to create the print catalogue, as well as other independent contractors such as copywriters, editors and photographers, if needed. We expect the costs of the first print run of the catalogue to be approximately $30,000.
6. We plan to exhibit at 4 tradeshows held in the United States and Europe over the next twelve months. Our ability to participate in the tradeshows will depend on the funds raised from this offering. If we raise the minimum amount of $34,460, we will be unable to exhibit at any tradeshow until we earn revenue or raise additional capital. If we raise the maximum amount of $364,460, we will reserve exhibit space, and hire an exhibit house to assist us with creating a booth, promotional materials and management of the exhibits. We anticipate the cost of participating in 4 tradeshows to be approximately $40,000.
7. If we raise the maximum amount of this offering, we intend to hire a business development manager who will assist us in securing marketing and distribution agreements with tour operators and travel agencies who offer vacation packages focusing on wellness and health. We estimate the annual cost of hiring a business development manager to be $60,000.
8. If we raise the minimum amount of the offering, we do not anticipate hiring any employees and will engage people as outside contractors and consultants for legal, accounting, and audit functions.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in a start-up stage operations and have generated no revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
To become profitable and competitive, we have to successfully promote and increase sales of Avia Mir travel packages and tours. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to market our services.
26
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations

We believe that the above discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements. Our actual results and our actual plan of operations may differ materially from what is stated above. Factors which may cause our actual results or our actual plan of operations to vary include, among other things, decision of the Board of Directors not to pursue a specific course of action based on a re-assessment of the facts or new facts, or changes in general economic conditions.

Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is currently composed of one member, Janetta Voitenkova. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.

Changes in Control
There are currently no arrangements which would result in a change in control of Grand Motion, Inc.
Description of Securities
The authorized capital stock of Grand Motion consists of 100,000,000 common shares, $0.0001 par value.
Common Stock
Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of common stock or other subscription rights. The common stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available, therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and upon liquidation or dissolution of Grand Motion, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in the assets of Grand Motion available for distribution to stockholders.
The Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by Grand Motions' Articles of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further stockholder action.
30
Voting Rights
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than fifty percent of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to the Board of Directors.
Dividend Policy
Holders of Grand Motion’s common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. Grand Motion does not anticipate the declaration or payment of any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, Grand Motion’s financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends of any kind will ever be paid.
Stock Transfer Agent
Upon completion of this offering, we intend to engage an independent stock transfer agency firm to serve as our registrar and stock transfer agent.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
The 25,000,000 shares of common stock registered in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions under the Securities Act. No shares held by our "affiliates" (officers, directors or 10% shareholders) are being registered hereunder. Our 4,000,000 issued and outstanding shares have been held since July 2006 (and are subject to the sale limitations imposed by Rule 144 (see below). The eventual availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, any of our affiliates and any person or persons whose sales are aggregated who has beneficially owned his or her restricted shares for at least one year, may be entitled to sell in the open market within any three-month period a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the common sock during the four calendar weeks preceding any sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also affected by limitations on manner of sale, notice requirements, and availability of current public information about us. Non-affiliates who have held their restricted shares for two years may be entitled to sell their shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the above limitations, provided they have not been affiliates for the three months preceding any sale.
Interest of Named Experts and Counsel
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.
31
Batcher Zarcone & Baker, LLP our legal counsel, has provided an opinion on the validity of our common stock. We retained the counsel solely for the purpose of providing this opinion and have not received any other legal services from this firm.
The financial statements included in this prospectus and the registration statement have been audited by Ronald Chadwick, P.C., Certified Public Accountant, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report appearing elsewhere in this document and in the registration statement filed with the SEC, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
Reports to Security Holders
Upon effectiveness of this Prospectus, we will be subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act and we intend to furnish our shareholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent auditors and to make available quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each year.
The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the Commission at the Commission's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.

The address of that site ishttp://www.sec.gov.
Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Market Information
Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. We plan to eventually seek listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, once our Prospectus has been declared effective by the Commission. We cannot guarantee that we will obtain a listing. There is no trading activity in our securities, and there can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our common stock will ever be developed.
A market maker sponsoring a company's securities is required to obtain a listing of the securities on any of the public trading markets, including the OTC Bulletin Board. If we are unable to obtain a market maker for our securities, we will be unable to develop a trading market for our common stock. We may be unable to locate a market maker that will agree to sponsor our securities. Even if we do locate a market maker, there is no assurance that our securities will be able to meet the requirements for a quotation or that the securities will be accepted for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board.
We intend to apply for listing of the securities on the OTC Bulletin Board, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain this listing. The OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
Board of Directors
Grand Motion, Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Grand Motion, Inc. (a development stage company) as of November 30, 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from July 7, 2006 (inception) through November 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Grand Motion, Inc. as of November 30, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from July 7, 2006 (inception) through November 30, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2006
Note 1 | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on July 7, 2006, and its fiscal year end is November 30. The Company has obtained a license to market, distribute or re-sell specialty tours, airline tickets and charter flights provided by a private company, in the United States of America and Canada.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $7,569, and has accumulated deficit of $5,075 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that the company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs by the issuance of common stock and related party advances. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Development Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement (“FAS”) No. 7 and The Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence for an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the commission is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured. The commission representing 5.0% of the private company’s gross sales is recognized as income over the term of the contract with this private company. The amount of the commission is determined based on the

quarterly sales reports of the private company. The private company recognizes the sale of its product during the reporting period when the company received the payment and the product was delivered to the customer’s delivery site prior to the period end.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Capital assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, which was adopted effective January 1, 2002. Under FAS No. 144, these assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, since the functional currency of the Company is U.S. dollars, the foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are re-measured into U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured using the foreign exchange rate that prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates of exchange during the year and stockholders’ equity accounts and furniture and equipment are translated by using historical exchange rates. Any re-measurement gain or loss incurred is reported in the income statement.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive losses per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, agreement payable and due to related party approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning February 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 which for the Company would be February 1, 2007. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006 which for the Company would be February 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.

| | - | Cash payment of $1,000 (one thousand dollars) upon signing of this Agreement; |
| | - | The Company incurring web sites development expenses up to $10,000 by February 28, 2007; |
| | - | The Company incurrng minimum marketing expenses of $50,000 USD over the initial two year term of this Agreement |
The Company will be paid commission on a quarterly basis at the rate of 5.0% of gross sales resulting from the sale of the Products by the private company.

The total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 100,000,000 shares with a par value of one hundred of one cent ($0.0001) per share and no other class of shares is authorized.
During the period from July 7, 2006 (inception) to November 30, 2006, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock to its director for total proceeds of $400.

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:
| | | 2006 | |
| Deferred Tax Assets | | | |
| Non-capital loss carryforward | $ | 761 | |
| Less: valuation allowance for deferred tax asset | | ( 761 | ) |
| | | | |
| | $ | - | |
There were no temporary differences between the Company’s tax and financial bases that result in deferred tax assets, except for the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards amounting to approximately $5,075 at November 30, 2006 which may be available to reduce future year’s taxable income.
These carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2026. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these deferred tax assets appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly a full, deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.
Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
The accounting firm of Ronald Chadwick, P.C., Certified Public Accountant, audited our financial statements. Since inception, we have had no changes in or disagreements with our accountants.

Indemnification of Officer and Directors
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") and our bylaws.
Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
| (1) | a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; |
| | |
| (2) | a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful); |
| | |
| (3) | a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and |
| | |
| (4) | willful misconduct. |
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
| (1) | such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; |
| | |
| (2) | the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors; |
| | |
| (3) | such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or |
| | |
| (4) | such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws. |
Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to 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, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final
45
disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision- making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.
Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
Our estimated expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered are estimated to be as follows:
| Filing fees | $ | 1,000 | |
| Legal fees and expenses | | 5,000 | |
| Accounting fees and expenses | | 3,500 | |
| Transfer agent fees | | 1,000 | |
| Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee | | 40.13 | |
| Total | $ | 10,540.13 | |
All amounts are estimates other than the Commission's registration fee.

- On October 16, 2006, Grand Motion issued 4,000,000 common shares to our President, Janetta Voitenkova, at a price of $0.0001 per share for total proceeds of $400.

Undertakings
Grand Motion hereby undertakes:
1. | to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Prospectus to: |
| | |
| | include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| | |
| | reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Prospectus (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Prospectus; and |
| | |
| | include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Prospectus or any material change to such information in the Prospectus; |
| | |
2. | that for determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new Prospectus of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering; |
| | |
3. | to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering; and |
| | |
4. | in the event that a claim for indemnification against the liabilities, other than the payment by Grand Motion of expenses incurred and paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Grand Motion in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by the director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered by this Prospectus, will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether the indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of the issue. |
