The proposed share exchange agreement has been approved by the sole shareholder of Skyview Holdings Corp. In order for the transaction to be effective, a majority of the shareholders of Vision Technologies, Inc. also must approve the proposed share exchange transaction. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, the Shareholders of Vision Technologies, Inc. will receive one share of Skyview Holdings, Inc. for each share of Vision Technologies, Inc. that he or she owns. Provided the share exchange agreement is approved, Vision Technologies, Inc. shareholders will receive a separate mailing that will contain instructions for tendering their stock certificates.

If the share exchange agreement is adopted by the a majority of the shareholders of Vision Technologies, Inc., each outstanding share of Vision Technologies, Inc. will be converted into one share of Skyview Holdings Corp. In addition, if the share exchange is ratified by shareholders, a name change amendment will also be voted on to change the name of Skyview Holdings, Inc. to Vision Technologies Tactical Corp.

PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Tony N. Frudakis, the sole shareholder and director of Skyview Holding Corp., (“Skyview”), and the board of directors of Vision Technologies, Inc., (“Vision”) have each approved the share exchange of Skyview with Vision. If the proposed share exchange is approved by a majority of Vision’s shareholders, the holders of common stock of Vision (the “Vision Common Stock”) will receive one (1) share of Skyview common stock (the “Skyview Common Stock”) for each share of Vision Common Stock they own immediately prior to completion of the share exchange.
This proxy statement/prospectus is being furnished to Vision stockholders in connection with the actions taken by the board of directors of Vision (the “Vision Board of Directors”). On April 29, 2011, the Vision Board of Directors unanimously ratified Management’s approval of the share exchange agreement and proposed name change, subject to stockholder approval.
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated as of December 14, 2010 by and between Vision and Skyview, Vision will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Skyview. The share exchange will become effective as of the date and at such time as the Certificate of Ownership is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the share exchange (the “Effective Date”). In accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, at the Effective Date, each share of Vision Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date will be converted into the right to receive one share, par value $0.00001 per share, of Skyview Common Stock. Skyview Common Stock currently does not trade in any market. At the Effective Date, the Vision Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and cease to exist, and each holder of Vision Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Vision Common Stock, except the right to receive the shares of Skyview common stock as described above. No fractions of a share of Skyview Common Stock will be issued, and in lieu of such issuance, a holder of Vision Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Skyview Common Stock as a result of the exchange of shares contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement will receive a whole share for any fractional share interest equal to or in excess of .50 of a share and will receive no share or payment for any fractional share interest less than .50 of a share.
We encourage you to read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus including the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page [PAGE].
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHARE EXCHANGE, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS UNDER THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW AND OBTAIN THE “FAIR VALUE” OF YOUR SHARES OF SKYVIEW’S COMMON STOCK, PROVIDED THAT YOU COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS ESTABLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE DELAWARE LAW. IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURES GOVERNING APPRAISAL RIGHTS SET FORTH UNDER DELAWARE LAW AND EXPLAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT, YOU MAY NOT BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT FOR YOUR SHARES.
FOR A DISCUSSION REGARDING YOUR APPRAISAL RIGHTS, SEE THE SECTION TITLED “APPRAISAL RIGHTS.”
Neither of the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed on the adequacy or accuracy of this proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Preliminary Prospectus Subject to completion _________, 2011
SUMMARY TERM SHEET FOR THE SHARE EXCHANGE
The following is a summary of the principal terms of the share exchange. This summary does not contain all information that may be important to you. Skyview Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Skyview”), and Vision Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vision”), encourage you to read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus, including the appendices, in their entirety.
On December 14, 2010 Skyview entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with Vision Technologies, Inc. If the share exchange is adopted and approved by the shareholders of Vision:
· | Each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Vision that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall, by virtue of the Share Exchange and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, will be exchanged for one share of common stock, par value $0.00001, of Skyview so that at the Effective Date, Skyview shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vision, and Vision will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyview. |
· | Each issued and outstanding share of Vision shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Skyview Common Stock. |
· | Each share of Vision Common Stock held in the treasury of Vision immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be cancelled in the Share Exchange and cease to exist. |
· | The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of Skyview will be the organic governing documents of the company from which your stock is issued. |
· | Public information about Skyview and its financial information will be available in disclosure forms periodically filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission and viewable on the world wide web at no cost at www.sec.gov. |
· | The newly issued Skyview common stock that you receive as part of the Share Exchange will be registered of Form S-4, and you will be able to resell your stock without restriction. However, because there presently is no public market for Skyview Common Stock, you may have to hold your newly issued common stock indefinitely until such a market develops, if ever. |
The obligations of Skyview and Vision to complete the Share Exchange are also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several other conditions to the Share Exchange. More information about Skyview, Vision, and the Share Exchange is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Sincerely, | | | | |

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SHARE EXCHANGE
Following are questions and related answers that address some of the questions you may have regarding the pending share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) transaction between Vision Technologies, Inc. (“Vision”) and Skyview Holdings Corp. (“Skyview”). These questions and answers may not contain all of the information relevant to you, do not purport to summarize all material information relating to the Share Exchange Agreement, or any of the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the more detailed information contained in or attached to this proxy statement/prospectus. Therefore, please carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the attached appendices, in its entirety.
Q. WHY DID I RECEIVE THIS PROXY STATEMENT?
A: Applicable requirements of Delaware law and the federal securities laws require Vision to provide you with information regarding matters subject to shareholder approval for which your vote is solicited. As explained more fully elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, Vision’s board of directors has adopted the Share Exchange Agreement, but the Share Exchange must be approved by the majority of Vision’s shareholders at a meeting held for such purpose. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Share Exchange, the meeting, and the other actions contemplated thereby.
Q. WHEN IS IT EXPECTED THAT THE SHARE EXCHANGE WILL BE COMPLETED?
A. Vision and Skyview signed the Share Exchange Agreement on December 14, 2010. The holders of a majority of Vision’s capital stock must first approve the share exchange at a meeting held for such purpose. The meeting is scheduled to be held on [DATE]. If a majority of Vision’s shareholders vote in favor of the Share exchange Agreement, the Share Exchange Agreement will become effective when a certificate of ownership is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
Q. WHAT WILL I RECEIVE IN THE SHARE EXCHANGE?
A. The holders of Vision Common Stock will receive an equivalent number of shares of Skyview Common Stock. This means that each share of Vision Common Stock will convert into one (1) share of Skyview Common Stock. After the Share Exchange is completed, it is expected that Vision’s pre-share exchange stockholders will own approximately 25,148,263 shares of Skyview Common Stock, or approximately 91% of the outstanding shares of Skyview on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement.
Q. HAS SOMEONE DETERMINED THAT THE SHARE EXCHANGE IS ADVISABLE FOR THE VISION STOCKHOLDERS?
A. Yes. The Vision Board of Directors has independently determined that the Share Exchange is advisable for its stockholders, respectively. The Vision Board of Directors approved the Share Exchange and the Share Exchange Agreement, and the Sole Director and Sole Shareholder of Skyview has approved the issuance of Skyview’s common stock in the Share Exchange, as well as the other actions contemplated in connection with the Share Exchange. The number of shares of Skyview Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement was determined by negotiation between Vision and Skyview. This consideration does not necessarily bear any relationship to either companies’ asset value, net worth or other established criteria of value and should not be considered indicative of the actual value of Vision. Furthermore, neither Vision nor Skyview has obtained an opinion from any third party that the share exchange is fair from a financial perspective.
Q. DO I HAVE APPRAISAL OR DISSENTER’S RIGHTS?
A. Yes. Under Delaware law, holders of Vision Common Stock who do not consent to the Share Exchange are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Share Exchange. You are urged to read the discussion of appraisal rights commencing on page ______ for a more complete discussion of appraisal rights. If you do not comply with the procedures governing appraisal rights set forth under Delaware law and explained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, you may not be entitled to payment for your shares.
Q. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE SHARE EXCHANGE IS NOT COMPLETED?
A. If the Share Exchange is not completed for any reason, Vision may be subject to a number of other risks. Vision will have no access to the public markets for its common stock and will have incurred the expenses associated with attempting to effectuate the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange. The failure to consummate the Share Exchange would have an adverse impact on the financial condition of Vision and the value of its equity interests.
Q. WHO CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SHARE EXCHANGE?
A. If you would like additional copies of this proxy statement/prospectus, or if you have questions about the Share Exchange, amendments or the other matters discussed in this document, you should contact:

Our discussion of the proposed business under this caption and throughout this Form S-4 is purposefully general and is not meant to restrict our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
Based on proposed business activities, we are a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") defines such companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we also qualify as a "shell company," because we have no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. No trading market currently exists for our securities, and Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, or to register any securities under the Securities Act or state blue sky laws or the regulations thereunder until we have successfully concluded a business combination. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.
Skyview were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation and, to a lesser extent, that desires to employ our funds in its business.
Skyview has conducted no business operations to date and expect to conduct none in the future, other than our efforts to effectuate a business combination. Skyview, therefore, can be characterized as a "shell" corporation. As a "shell" corporation, Skyview faces risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. Further, as a "development stage" or "start-up" company, Skyview faces all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties related to such companies, including whether we will continue to be a going concern entity for the foreseeable future.
The analysis of new business opportunities has and will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Skyview’s sole officer and director. Skyview haves unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In our efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, we will consider the following kinds of factors:
(i) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;
(ii) Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;
(iii) Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;
(iv) Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by us from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;
(v) The cost of participation by us as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;
(vi) The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;
(vii) The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and
(viii) Other relevant factors.
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to Skyview’s limited capital available for investigation, Skyview may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.
We cannot estimate the time that it will take to effectuate a business combination. It could be time consuming; possibly in excess of many months or years. Additionally, no assurance can be made that we will be able to effectuate a business combination on favorable terms, or, if such a business combination can be effected at all. We might identify and effectuate a business combination with a target business which proves to be unsuccessful for any number of reasons, many of which are due to the fact that the target business is not identified at this time. If this occurs, the Company and its shareholders might not realize any type of profit.
No assurances can be given that we will be able to enter into a business combination, as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the nature of the target company.

Vision’s Business
Vision was incorporated on March 13, 1998, under the laws of the state of Delaware. Vision’s executive offices are located at 700 SE 5th Street Suite #2, Bentonville, Arkansas, 72712. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Vision designs, manufactures and markets ruggedized camera systems for tactical use by military, paramilitary, law enforcement, public safety, and security personnel. By definition, ruggedized systems can withstand violent shock and vibration while operating in extremely harsh climatic conditions. To be defined as a “ruggedized camera”, equipment must achieve military’s MIL-STD-901D Grade “A” Shock Certification. To date, only Vision cameras have earned this certification.
Vision produces five basic ruggedized camera systems, each with multiple variants. Commercially available “off-the-shelf” imaging products, such as camera engines and lenses, are purchased and installed within Vision’s ruggedized housing. This offers customers virtually unlimited abilities to customize camera systems to fit specific missions. Modular construction allows rapid removal and replacement, and on-the-fly adaptation to fast-changing mission requirements. For example, Vision cameras can have multiple camera and lens combinations for a single pan and tilt or fixed platform. Cameras have bolt-on capabilities for laser designators, range finders, and illuminators. Vision cameras are essentially maintenance free for life. Competing non-ruggedized cameras require ongoing and costly maintenance.
Typical customer applications include:
· | Military: Identify and defeat potential threats, enhance perimeter security in the battlespace, provide precise target location and designation, provide situational awareness, enhance border and maritime surveillance, and assist reconnaissance efforts. |
· | Law-Enforcement: Conduct counter-terrorism, drug interdiction, border and perimeter security, patrol, surveillance, reconnaissance and pursuit missions. |
· | Security: Enhance commercial and industrial perimeter security, high-value asset protection such as ports and nuclear facilities, safety, manpower reduction, equipment operations and surveillance. |
The Share Exchange
Skyview and Vision have agreed to the acquisition of Vision by Skyview under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In the Share Exchange, Skyview will issue and deliver Twenty Five Million One Hundred Forty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Sixty Three (25,148,263) shares of Skyview Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share, to Vision shareholders in exchange for their Twenty Five Million One Hundred Forty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Sixty Three (25,148,263) shares of Vision common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, which shall be delivered to Skyview. Tony N. Frudakis shall return Three Million (3,000,000) shares to Skyview’s treasury, and Skyview shall issue to Tony N. Frudakis and his assign Phillip Brooks a total of Two Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand (2,550,000) shares of Skyview. We have attached the Share Exchange Agreement to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix B. We encourage you to carefully read the Share Exchange Agreement in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the Share Exchange.
Share Exchange Consideration
If the proposed Share Exchange is completed, the holders of Vision Common Stock are expected to receive one (1) share of Skyview Common Stock for each share of Vision Common Stock they own immediately prior to completion of the Share Exchange. For a full description of a comparison of the rights of the Skyview Common Stock to the rights of the Vision Common Stock, see “Comparison of Rights of Skyview Stockholders and Vision Stockholders” beginning on page ____. The share exchange is expected to qualify as a “reorganization” under the Internal Revenue Code. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Share Exchange” beginning on page ____.
Ownership of Skyview after the Share Exchange
As a result of the share exchange, Vision common stockholders will become holders of Skyview common stock. Both corporations are Delaware corporations. The rights of Skyview stockholders are currently governed by the certificate of incorporation of Skyview, the amended and restated bylaws of Skyview, or the Skyview bylaws, and the laws of the State of Delaware. The rights of Vision stockholders are currently governed by the certificate of incorporation of Vision, as amended, the bylaws of Vision and the laws of the State of Delaware. At the effective time of the share exchange, holders of Vision common stock will become holders of Skyview common stock and, as such, the rights of such holders will be governed by Delaware law, the Skyview charter and the Skyview bylaws. Please see the “Comparison of Rights of Skyview Stockholders and Vision Stockholders” on page ____.
Based on the number of shares of Skyview Common Stock and Vision Common Stock outstanding on September 9, 2011 and without giving effect to any further issuances of shares of stock by Skyview, holders of Vision common stock are expected to hold approximately 91% of the outstanding shares of Skyview Common Stock on an as converted basis immediately after the Share Exchange. In the event that the share exchange becomes effective, the capitalization of Skyview will consist of 100,000,000 common shares authorized, 2,500,000 preferred shares authorized 27,698,263 common shares issued, and 72,301,737 common shares authorized and unissued.
Skyview’s sole stockholder shall return all of his Three Million (3,000,000) shares to Skyview’s treasury, and Skyview shall issue Tony N. Frudakis and his assign Phillip Brooks a total of Two Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand (2,550,000) shares of Skyview.
Opinion of Financial Advisor
Vision
The Vision Board of Directors did not engage a financial advisor to assist in the sale of Vision or to render a financial opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid to the Vision stockholders in the share exchange. The Vision Board of Directors determined that the factors which weighed in favor of the Share Exchange, as discussed below, were substantial in relation to the factors which weighed against the Share Exchange. The Vision Board of Directors also considered the cost of obtaining a fairness opinion as prohibitively expensive in light of Vision’s financial condition.
Share Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers
At the close of business on September 9, 2011, the Vision record date, directors and executive officers of Vision and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote approximately 5,099,573 shares of Vision Common Stock, collectively representing approximately 20.28% of the shares of Vision Common Stock outstanding on that date.
Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights
Holders of shares of Vision Common Stock who do not vote in favor of approval and adoption of the Share Exchange Agreement and approval of the Share Exchange and who properly demand appraisal of their shares will be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Share Exchange under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).
Conditions to Completion of the Share Exchange
A number of conditions must be satisfied before the Share Exchange will be completed. These conditions are laid out on page _____ herein.
Skyview and Vision each may waive the conditions to the performance of its respective obligations under the share exchange agreement and complete the share exchange even though one or more of these conditions has not been met.
Regulatory Matters
The share exchange is not subject to antitrust laws or any federal or state regulatory requirements.
Reasonable Best Efforts to Complete the Share Exchange
Each of Skyview and Vision has agreed to cooperate fully with the other party and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law and regulations to complete the Share Exchange as promptly as practicable.
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Share Exchange
Vision will merge with and into Skyview (the “Share Exchange”). Holders of shares of Vision will receive shares of Skyview in exchange for their shares of Vision in connection with the Share Exchange (the “Transaction”). Management of Skyview expects the Share Exchange to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Share Exchange qualifies as a “reorganization,” the exchange of shares of Skyview in exchange for shares of Vision will not result in the recognition of a gain or loss by Vision shareholders for federal income tax purposes. In addition, no gain or loss will be recognized for federal income tax purposes by Vision or Skyview stockholders as a result of the Transaction.
Tax matters are complicated, and the tax consequences of the Transaction to each Vision stockholder will depend on the facts of each shareholder’s situation. Vision shareholders are urged to read carefully the discussion in the section entitled “The Share Exchange—Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction” and to consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax consequences of their participation in the Transaction.
The share exchange transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. Skyview is the issuer. For accounting purposes, Vision will be considered the acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements prior to the share exchange will become those of Vision retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the share exchange. Earnings per share for the periods prior to the share exchange will be restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.
Risk Factors
In evaluating the Share Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange, in the case of Vision stockholders, or the issuance of shares of Skyview Common Stock in the Share Exchange, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page ____.

RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other information in this proxy statement/prospectus before purchasing any of Skyview’s securities.
RISKS RELATED TO THE SHARE EXCHANGE
IF THE PROPOSED SHARE EXCHANGE WITH VISION IS CONSUMMATED, SKYVIEW WILL FACE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH VISION’S BUSINESS.
Skyview is targeting a closing of the Share Exchange during the fourth quarter of 2011. If the proposed Share Exchange is consummated, Skyview may be subject to a number of material risks associated with Vision’s business, including the following:
● | Vision’s business is capital intensive and, after the Share Exchange, Skyview may not be able to raise sufficient funds to sustain Vision’s operating expenses which depend on the receipt of infrequent payments by its customers. |
● | Vision’s business is subject to uncertainties, military budget cuts may reduce the market for Vision’s products. |
VISION DID NOT OBTAIN AN INVESTMENT BANKER’S OPINION PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO THE SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT.
Vision did not obtain a fairness opinion with respect to the share exchange transaction. If the Vision Board of Directors erred in concluding that the Share Exchange and the Share Exchange Agreement is in the best interest of the Vision stockholders, then the Vision stockholders will suffer adverse consequences associated with the consummation of the transaction. In the event of litigation over Vision’s Board of Directors’ exercise of its fiduciary duties, Vision may be required to indemnify its directors. At a minimum, any litigation would divert management’s time and attention from completing the transactions described herein, and would likely also involve the expenditure of substantial amounts for legal fees.
IF ANY OF THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN “RISKS RELATED TO SKYVIEW” OR “RISKS RELATED TO VISION” OCCUR, THOSE EVENTS COULD CAUSE THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE NOT TO BE REALIZED.
Following the effective time of the Share Exchange, the combined company will be susceptible to many of the risks described in the sections herein entitled “Risks Related to Skyview,” and “Risks Related to Vision.” To the extent any of the events in the risks described in those sections occur, those events could cause the potential benefits of the Share Exchange not to be realized and the market price of the combined company’s common stock to suffer.
RISKS RELATED TO SKYVIEW HOLDINGS CORP.
THERE IS UNCERTAINTY AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, as well as the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements, call into question our ability to operate as a going concern. This conclusion is based on our net operating loss for the period and a shareholders' deficiency. Although we expect that we will be able to meet our expenses going forward based on loans and/or equity investments from stockholders or other investors, our ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent on our ability to obtain such financing on acceptable terms. Our sole officer and director has agreed to provide funding to the Company to pay its annual audit fees and filing costs as long as the Board of Directors deems it necessary. However, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company.
RISKS RELATED TO SKYVIEW HOLDINGS CORP.’S COMMON STOCK
ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING SKYVIEW ARRANGES THROUGH THE SALE OF ITS COMMON STOCK WILL RESULT IN DILUTION TO EXISTING SECURITY HOLDERS.
Skyview may have to raise additional capital in order for its business plan to succeed. Its most likely source of additional capital will be through the sale of additional shares of common stock. Such issuances will cause security holders’ interests in Skyview to be diluted, which may negatively affect the value of their shares.
CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR SKYVIEW’S COMMON STOCK, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY PUBLIC MARKET WILL EVER DEVELOP OR THAT SKYVIEW’S COMMON STOCK WILL BE QUOTED FOR TRADING. FURTHER, EVEN IF QUOTED, IT IS LIKELY TO BE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT PRICE FLUCTUATIONS.
Skyview’s common stock is not listed or quoted on any market at the present time. Even if Skyview is successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable security holders to sell their stock. If a public market for Skyview’s common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of its common stock, rendering their shares effectively worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment. Skyview cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in Skyview will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.
ANY TRADING MARKET THAT MAY DEVELOP MAY BE RESTRICTED BY VIRTUE OF STATE SECURITIES “BLUE SKY” LAWS WHICH PROHIBIT TRADING ABSENT COMPLIANCE WITH INDIVIDUAL STATE LAWS. THESE RESTRICTIONS MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR SKYVIEW SECURITY HOLDERS TO SELL SHARES OF ITS COMMON STOCK IN THOSE STATES.
There is a limited public market for Skyview’s common stock, and there can be no assurance that any public market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of Skyview’s common stock may also be restricted under the securities regulations and laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, Skyview’s common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions.
BECAUSE SKYVIEW IS SUBJECT TO THE “PENNY STOCK” RULES, THE LEVEL OF TRADING ACTIVITY IN ITS COMMON STOCK MAY BE REDUCED.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges). 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 that 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, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” 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. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in Skyview’s common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
IN THE EVENT THAT A PUBLIC MARKET DEVELOPS, THE PRICE OF SKYVIEW’S COMMON STOCK WILL BE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT PRICE FLUCTUATIONS.
Until an orderly market develops in Skyview’s common stock, if ever, the price at which its common stock trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for Skyview’s common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of its common stock, developments affecting its business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of Skyview and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of Skyview common stock.
In addition, Skyview common stock may not be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few, if any, institutions acting as market makers for its common stock. Either of these factors could (i) adversely affect the trading price of Skyview’s common stock and (ii) severely limit the liquidity of Skyview’s common stock.
SKYVIEW DOES NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS TO HOLDERS OF ITS COMMON STOCK IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. AS A RESULT, HOLDERS OF ITS COMMON STOCK MUST RELY ON STOCK APPRECIATION FOR ANY RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.
Skyview has not declared any dividends since its inception, and it does not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, holders of Skyview common stock will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on their investment in Skyview common stock.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE IN NATURE AND INVOLVES AN EXTREMELY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. OUR BUSINESS IS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE BECAUSE WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY.
As we have no operating history or revenue and only minimal assets, there is a risk that we will be unable to consummate a business combination. We have had no recent operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations since inception. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination.
FUTURE SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE ABILITY OF MANAGEMENT TO LOCATE AND ATTRACT A SUITABLE BUSINESS COMBINATION.
The nature of our operations is highly speculative and there is a consequent risk of loss of your investment. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.
OUR MANAGEMENT INTENDS TO DEVOTE ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME TO SEEKING A TARGET COMPANY WHICH MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY A SUITABLE ACQUISITION CANDIDATE.
While seeking a business combination, our management anticipates devoting no more than a few hours per week in total to the Company's affairs. Our sole officer has not entered into a written employment agreement with us and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.
THE TIME AND COST OF PREPARING A PRIVATE COMPANY TO BECOME A PUBLIC REPORTING COMPANY MAY PRECLUDE US FROM ENTERING INTO A SHARE EXCHANGE OR ACQUISITION WITH THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PRIVATE COMPANIES.
Target companies without previously prepared and/or audited financial statements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the company involved. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain within a certain time frame the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act remain applicable.
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.
There is no public trading market for our common stock and none is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until we complete a business combination with an operating business and such business files a registration statement under the Securities Act or a period of twelve months elapses from the date our disclosure is made of the combination transaction. Outstanding shares of our common stock currently cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Shares of common stock cannot be sold under the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144 under or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), in accordance with the letter from Richard K. Wulff, Chief of the Office of Small Business Policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance, to Ken Worm of NASD Regulation, dated January 21, 2000 (the "Wulff Letter"). The Wulff Letter provides that certain private transfers of the shares of common stock also may be prohibited without registration under federal securities laws. The SEC changed certain aspects of the Wulff Letter and such changes apply retroactively to our stockholders. Since February 15, 2008, all holders of shares of common stock of a "shell company" have been permitted to sell their shares of common stock under Rule 144, subject to certain restrictions, starting one year after (i) the completion of a business combination with a private company in a reverse share exchange or reverse takeover transaction after which the company would cease to be a "shell company" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and (ii) the disclosure of certain information on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days thereafter.
Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER BE LISTED ON NASDAQ OR ONE OF THE NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGES.
After the consummation of the business combination contemplated herein, we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ or another stock exchange or quotation service, either immediately or after some period of time. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either a stock exchange or quotation service at such time, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either a stock exchange or quotation service. After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or one of the national stock exchanges, for which there can be no assurance, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"). The OTCBB, however, is not an exchange and, because obtaining accurate quotations as to the market value of a given security on the OTCBB is not always possible, and because trading of securities on the OTCBB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national exchange or on NASDAQ, sellers of securities traded on the OTCBB are likely to have more difficulty disposing of their securities than sellers of securities that are listed on a national exchange or on NASDAQ.
WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT FOLLOWING A BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH AN OPERATING BUSINESS, OUR COMMON STOCK WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE "PENNY STOCK" REGULATIONS, WHICH WOULD LIKELY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL.
To the extent that our common stock becomes listed for trading on a quotation service after the consummation of the business combination contemplated herein, our common stock may constitute a "penny stock," which generally is a stock trading under $5.00 and that is not registered on national securities exchanges or quoted on one of the higher NASDAQ tiers. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. This regulation generally has the result of reducing trading in such stocks, restricting the pool of potential investors for such stocks, and making it more difficult for investors to sell their shares. In addition, the "penny stock" rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission subject the sale of the shares of the Common stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. For example, broker-dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Furthermore, if the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. To the extent that our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, investors in our common stock may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS BROAD AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. Under certain circumstances, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention of issuing any shares of preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

VISION’S PROJECTED REVENUE IN 2011 HAS NOT MATERIALIZED AND WE ARE NOW PROJECTING THE RECEIPT OF SUCH INCOME IN 2012. OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON RECEIPT OF SUCH REVENUE.
Vision’s revenue and our survival as a company is entirely dependent on the discretion of the United States Government to make payments for orders. We have been assured verbally from time to time that payments in the magnitude of $20 million are coming, but these payments have not materialized/ While we expect that the government will move forward with payment on orders placed, we have no control over whether the payments will materialize. Thus, our projection that such payments will occur next in the government’s 2012 fiscal year is based upon the same verbal assurances we have received in the past and may not be reasonably relied upon at this juncture.
VISION IS DEPENDENT ON ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH A COMPANY AFFILIATED WITH OUR PRESIDENT AND PRESENTLY IS IN DEFAULT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP
Vision does not have any proprietary technology. All of the items we manufacture are based upon technology licensing agreements we have with Pinotage, LLC, a company owned by our president Robert Thompson, Sr. We are presently in default of a royalty agreement with Pinotage, LLC, which gives Pinotage, LLC the right to revoke our technology licensing rights, a potentially fatal condition. In the past, we have restructured our licensing agreement to make royalty payment conditions less burdensome, but there is no requirement that Pinotage, LLC continue to negotiate with us. Thus, our ability to continue in business depends entirely on the discretion of our president, Robert Thompson, Sr.
WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HISTORICAL LOSSES AND A SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATED DEFICIT. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REVERSE THIS TREND, WE WILL LIKELY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS.
We have incurred a net loss of $2,756,565 for the period ending December 31, 2010. This is particularly significant because for the period ending December 3, 2009 the Company’s net income was $455,447. In addition, at December 31, 2010 Vision had a retained earnings deficit of $27,388,645. Our operating results for future periods will include significant expenses, including new product development expenses, potential marketing costs, professional fees and administrative expenses, and will be subject to numerous uncertainties. As a result, we are unable to predict whether we will achieve profitability in the future, or at all.
WE HAVE A WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT AND SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. SINCE WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO OFFSET OUR EXPENSES, INVESTORS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL OUR SHARES AT A PROFIT OR AT ALL.
The Company has a net loss of $ $2,756,565 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and net cash used in operations of $1,172,613 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Because the Company has not yet achieved or acquired sufficient operating capital and given these financial results along with the Company's expected cash requirements in 2011, additional capital investment will be necessary to develop and sustain the Company's operations.
OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS RAISED DOUBT OVER OUR CONTINUED EXISTENCE AS A GOING CONCERN.
We have incurred substantial operating and net losses, as well as negative operating cash flow and do not have financing commitments in place to meet expected cash requirements for the next twelve months.
At December 31, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficit of $8,301,106, and has cash used in operations of $1,172,613 in 2010 and has a net loss of $2,756,565 in 2010. The Company has incurred losses from operations and has never operated a successful manufacturing levels over an extended period. Further, the Company has limited additional financial resources available to support its operations and in the past years has, in large part, been supported by certain major stockholders. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon ongoing support of its stockholders, investors, customers and creditors, and its ability to successfully produce and market its products at economically feasible levels. The company will require additional financial resources in order to fund maturities of debt and other obligations as they become due. As a result we rely on private financing to cover cash shortfalls.
As a result, we continue to have significant working capital and stockholders' deficits including a substantial accumulated deficit at December 31, 2010. In recognition of such, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009 that expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY IN OUR MARKET BECAUSE WE HAVE A SMALL MARKET SHARE AND COMPETE WITH LARGE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES.
We compete with many companies that have greater brand name recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing, and managerial resources. The position of these competitors in the market may prevent us from capturing more market share. We intend to remain competitive by increasing our existing business through marketing efforts, partnering with our major competitors, selectively acquiring complementary technologies, increasing our efficiency, and reducing costs.
WE MUST SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCE NEW OR ENHANCED PRODUCTS AND MANAGE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PRODUCING SEVERAL PRODUCT LINES TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
Our future success depends on our existing products’ demonstrated reliability and to develop new products using the latest technology that can satisfy customer needs. For example, our short term success will depend on the continued acceptance of the Vision Technologies FX, BX, J2, J6 and J8 series camera systems. We have the capability to continue to produce multiple product lines and must continue to mitigate the cost of production of multiple product lines to maintain or improve our gross profit margins. It is understood that the failure of our products to gain or maintain market acceptance or our failure to successfully manage our cost of production could adversely affect our financial condition.
FAILURE TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT WOULD LEAD TO LOSS OF INVESTOR CONFIDENCE IN OUR REPORTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
Pursuant to proposals related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.
In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Act within the prescribed period, we will need to engage in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which will be both costly and challenging. In this regard, management will need to dedicate internal resources, engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan.
During the course of our testing we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud.
THERE IS NO ACTIVE TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SHARES, AND IF AN ACTIVE TRADING MARKET DOES NOT DEVELOP, PURCHASERS OF OUR SHARES MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEM PUBLICLY.
There is no active trading market for our shares and we do not know if an active trading market will develop. An active market will not develop unless broker-dealers develop interest in trading our shares, and we may be unable to generate interest in our shares among broker-dealers until we generate meaningful revenues and profits from operations. Until that time occurs, if it does at all, purchasers of our shares may be unable to sell them publicly. In the absence of an active trading market:
· | Investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations; |
· | Market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and |
· | A lack of visibility for our common stock may depress the market price for our shares. |
THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS UPON THE CONTINUING CONTRIBUTION OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL, INCLUDING MR. ROBERT LEE THOMPSON, OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, WHOSE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE IN THE EVENT WE LOSE HIS SERVICES.
Our operations are dependent on the efforts and relationships of Robert Lee Thompson and the senior management of our organization. We will likely be dependent on the senior management of our organization for the foreseeable future. If any of these individuals becomes unable to continue in their role, our business or prospects could be adversely affected. For example, the loss of Mr. Robert Lee Thompson could damage customer relations and could restrict our ability to raise additional working capital if and when needed. There can be no assurance that Mr. Robert Lee Thompson will continue in his present capacity for any particular period of time.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED TO BE "PENNY STOCK."
Our common stock is considered to be a "penny stock" because it meets one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not limited to, the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market, or even if quoted, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade it on an unsolicited basis.
BROKER-DEALER REQUIREMENTS MAY AFFECT TRADING AND LIQUIDITY.
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stocks." Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.
OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES THE RISK THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE THAT YOU MAY PAY FOR THE SHARES.
Because there will initially be a limited trading market for our common stock, and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so. The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our common stock may suffer greater declines because of its price volatility.
The market price of our common stock may be higher or lower than the price you may pay for your Shares. Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:
· | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
· | loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant transactions; |
· | additions or departures of key personnel; and |
· | fluctuations in stock market price and volume. |
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the over-the-counter markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies' common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.
WE HAVE NOT PAID, AND DO NOT INTEND TO PAY, CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Dividend payments in the future may also be limited by other loan agreements or covenants contained in other securities which we may issue. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.
SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK RELYING UPON RULE 144 MAY DEPRESS PRICES IN THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK BY A MATERIAL AMOUNT.
A majority of the currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that an affiliate who has held restricted securities for a prescribed period may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed 1.0% of a company’s outstanding Common Stock. The alternative average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale is also available to our affiliate shareholders because the OTCBB is an “automated quotation system” and, accordingly, market based volume limitations are available for securities quoted only over the OTCBB. However, there is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of at least six months and the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Presently shares of restricted Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the Company may be sold, subject to compliance with Rule 144, six months after issuance. Sales under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to registration of shares of Common Stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Common Stock in any market that may develop.
VISION HAS INCURRED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES SINCE ITS INCEPTION, EXPECTS TO INCUR LOSSES AT LEAST FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE OR MAINTAIN PROFITABILITY.
Since inception Vision has incurred significant operating losses. To date, Vision has financed its operations primarily through the sale of its common stock to private investors. Vision expects to incur operating losses at least for the foreseeable future. If Vision is unable to raise the funds necessary to pay certain expenses, , Vision may be unable to continue to proceed with entering the commercial camera market and be forced to delay commercialization until such time as profits from military sales are sufficient to allow expansion into the commercial market, if ever.
To become and remain profitable, Vision must continue to succeed in expanding its current military customer base and successfully enter into the commercial ruggedized surveillance market. This will require Vision to be successful in a range of challenging activities associated with the manufacturing, marketing and sales of our full line of Military Standard qualified ruggedized camera systems and expanding its testing and qualifications programs to include industry specific testing standards required for certain commercial applications. Even if Vision does achieve profitability, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly basis due to the uncertainty associated with the final release of the annual government Department of Defense budget. Obviously, a failure on Vision’s ability to achieve quarterly profitability could impair its ability to raise capital, expand its business, or sustain its operations.
VISION WILL NEED SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND MAY BE UNABLE TO RAISE CAPITAL WHEN NEEDED, WHICH WOULD FORCE IT TO DELAY, REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ITS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS OR COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS.
Vision is dependent on the receipt of purchase order payments, the timing of which is beyond Vision’s control. Because such payments occur irregularly, on a day-to-day basis Vision experiences significant cash flow difficulties and relies on external capital resources for its operational needs. To remain operational on a day-to-day basis, and depending on the timing and magnitude of the receipt of a purchase order payment, Vision will need substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed. Delays in receipt of purchase order payments would force Vision to delay, reduce or eliminate its product development programs or commercialization efforts.
IF VISION IS NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN AND ENFORCE PATENT PROTECTION FOR THE DISCOVERIES IT LICENSES FROM PINOTAGE, LLC, OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMERCIALIZE OUR PRODUCT MAY BE HARMED
Vision’s success depends, in part, on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under the patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries, so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information. The issuance of a patent does not guarantee that it is valid or enforceable, so even if we obtain patents, they may not be valid or enforceable against third parties. The issuance of a patent does not guarantee that we have the right to practice the patented invention. Third parties may have blocking patents that could be used to prevent us from marketing our own patented product or method and practicing our own patented technology.
Our issued patents and any future patents that we may own or license may not contain claims sufficiently broad to protect us against third parties with similar technologies or products, or provide us with any competitive advantage. Moreover, our patents and any patent for which we have licensed rights may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented.
If the patents that we own or license are invalidated or otherwise limited, other companies may be better able to develop products and technologies that compete with ours, which could adversely affect our competitive business position, business prospects and financial condition.
IF VISION IS UNABLE TO PROTECT THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF OUR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND KNOW-HOW, THE VALUE OF OUR TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
In addition to patented technology, we rely upon unpatented proprietary technology, processes and know-how, relating to the production of our systems. We seek to protect our unpatented proprietary information in part by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties. These agreements may be breached and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information and know-how, competitors may be able to use this information to develop products that compete with our products, which could adversely impact our business.
WE FACE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION WHICH MAY RESULT IN OTHERS DISCOVERING, DEVELOPING OR COMMERCIALIZING PRODUCTS BEFORE OR MORE SUCCESSFULLY THAN WE DO.
The development and commercialization of new military technology is highly competitive. We face competition with respect to any products we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Potential competitors also include academic institutions, and other public and private research organizations that conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. It is always possible that a competitor may develop products that are more capable and cost effective.

PROPOSAL 1: THE SHARE EXCHANGE
This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the share exchange and related transactions. Although we believe that the description in this section covers the material terms of the share exchange and the transactions, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You must carefully read the entire proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents we refer to in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Share Exchange Agreement, for a more complete understanding of the Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
General
The Share Exchange Agreement provides that, at the Effective Date of the Share Exchange, Vision will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyview. Each share of Vision Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Date will be converted into one (1) share of Skyview Common Stock.
The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of Skyview will be the governing corporate organic documents after the Effective Date.
Skyview’s sole officer and director will resign effective as of the Effective Date of the Share Exchange and be replaced by the Vision officers and directors.
Background of the Share Exchange
As part of their ongoing management of the business and affairs of their respective companies, the Sole Director of Skyview and the Vision Board of Directors periodically evaluated potential strategic alternatives and considered ways to enhance their respective company’s performance and prospects in light of current business and economic conditions. For each company, these reviews included consideration of potential strategic transactions with other companies and the potential benefits and risks of such transactions. However, none of these deliberations resulted in substantive discussions relating to the possible terms of any share exchange or similar transaction.
In particular, during 2009 and early 2010, Vision’s management and the Vision Board of Directors considered numerous alternatives in their efforts to raise growth capital. In connection with its goal of establishing a public trading market for shares of its common stock, Vision’s Management approved the Share Exchange Agreement on December 14, 2010 and the Board of Directors approved the Share Exchange Agreement on April 29, 2011. The Sole Director of Skyview approved and executed the Share Exchange Agreement on December 14, 2010.
Vision’s Reasons for the Share Exchange and Recommendation
In reaching the decision to adopt the Share Exchange Agreement and recommend it for approval by shareholders, the Vision Board of Directors consulted with Management. As discussed in greater detail below, these consultations included discussions regarding Skyview’s strategic business plan, the costs and risks of executing Vision’s business plan as a public company, Vision’s cash position and prospects for raising more cash, its past and current business operations, and its future prospects, the strategic rationale for the potential transaction with Skyview and the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement.
The Vision Board of Directors determined that the Share Exchange is advisable and in the best interest of the Vision stockholders. In reaching its decision to approve the Share Exchange Agreement, the Vision Board of Directors reviewed Skyview’s status as a public reporting company, its SEC filings, and performed a due diligence investigation. The Vision Board of Directors identified and considered several factors in its assessment, which, when taken as a whole, supported the decision to approve the Share Exchange and Share Exchange Agreement.
These factors and potential benefits of the Share Exchange considered by the Vision Board of Directors included the following:
| ● | the ability of the combined company to potentially secure investor capital and financing for development of Vision product portfolio; |
| ● | leveraging Skyview’s existing general and administrative infrastructure as a public company to further reduce Vision overhead associated with becoming a public company; and |
| ● | The possible liquidity opportunities for Vision’s stockholders subsequent to the Share Exchange as a result of the exchange of their Vision shares for shares of Skyview. |
| | |
The Sole Director of Skyview considered the following additional factor: |
| |
| ● | The need to locate an operating company with significant operations and revenues and significant opportunity for capital appreciation of investment capital. |
The negative factors considered by Vision’s management and the Vision Board of Directors in considering the Share Exchange were principally the dilution to Vision Shareholders as a result of the Share Exchange and the risk that, following the Share Exchange, Vision would be unable to raise the capital needed to proceed with development of its pipeline. In the view of Vision’s management and the Vision Board of Directors, these factors were outweighed by the potential benefits of the Share Exchange.
Taking into account all of the material facts, matters and information, including those described above, the Vision Board of Directors and the Sole Director of Skyview believe that the Share Exchange Agreement is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of each of Vision and Skyview and each company’s respective equity holders.
Board of Directors and Officers Post-Share Exchange and Equity Interests
The directors of Skyview immediately following consummation of the Share Exchange will be Robert Thompson, Sr., Harold C. Haynes, James B. Tracey, and Harvey Weiss. Robert Thompson, Sr., and Robert Thompson, Jr., will be officers of Skyview. There are no (i) employment; (ii) compensation: or (iii) affiliated agreements in place with the future officers or directors of Skyview at this time or at such time as the Share Exchange is deemed to be effective.
No Independent Financial Advisor
Neither Vision nor Skyview has engaged an independent financial advisor to consult with, or render an opinion on, the relative advantages and disadvantages of the transactions.
Vote Required
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will require the delivery of a proxy statement to all shareholders prior to the taking of a vote for any matter in which shareholder approval is required as a matter of state law. Delaware law requires the approval of a business consolidation by a majority of shareholders.
Completion and Effectiveness of the Share Exchange
The Share Exchange will be completed when all of the conditions to completion of the Share Exchange are satisfied or waived. The Share Exchange will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of share exchange with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
Appraisal Rights
Under Delaware law, Vision stockholders who have not consented to the Share Exchange are entitled, after complying with certain requirements of Delaware law, to dissent from the approval of the authority with respect to the Share Exchange, pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenters’ Law”) and to be paid the “fair value” of their shares of the Vision Common Stock in cash by complying with the procedures set forth in the Dissenters’ Law. Set forth below is a summary of the procedures relating to the exercise of appraisal rights by Vision stockholders. This summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the provisions of the Dissenters’ Law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such provisions.
Under Delaware law, holders of Vision Common Stock who do not wish to accept the share exchange consideration have the right to dissent from the share exchange and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares of Vision Common Stock together with a fair rate of interest, if any, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery. These rights are known as appraisal rights. Vision stockholders may only exercise these appraisal rights by strictly complying with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, which is referred to in this prospectus as Section 262.
The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the Delaware statutory procedures required to be followed by a stockholder in order to dissent from the share exchange and perfect its appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262. Failure to precisely follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section 262 may result in a termination or waiver of your appraisal rights. This summary does not constitute legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that holders of Vision Common Stock exercise their appraisal rights.
Under Section 262, where a share exchange is adopted by stockholders by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders, either the constituent corporation before the effective date of the share exchange or the surviving or resulting corporation, within 10 days after the effective date of the share exchange, must notify each stockholder of the constituent corporation entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the share exchange and that appraisal rights are available. This prospectus constitutes the notice to Vision’s stockholders of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the share exchange in compliance with the requirements of Section 262. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text on appraisal rights in this prospectus because failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of Section 262 will result in the loss of your appraisal rights under Delaware law.
Holders of shares of Vision Common Stock who have not consented to the Share Exchange and who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must deliver a written demand for appraisal to Vision within 20 days after the mailing of this prospectus. A demand for appraisal must reasonably inform Vision of the identity of the stockholder and that such stockholder intends thereby to demand appraisal of the shares of Vision Common Stock held by such stockholder. All demands for appraisal should be addressed toand should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of shares of Vision Common Stock. ALL DEMANDS MUST BE RECEIVED BY VISION WITHIN TWENTY DAYS AFTER THE DATE THIS PROSPECTUS WAS MAILED TO VISION STOCKHOLDERS, AS SET FORTH ON THE COVER PAGE OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
If you fail to deliver a written demand for appraisal within the time period specified above and the share exchange is completed, you will be entitled to receive the share exchange consideration for your shares of Vision Common Stock as provided for in the share exchange agreement, but you will have no appraisal rights with respect to your shares of Vision Common Stock.
To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a holder of shares of Vision Common Stock must be made by, or in the name of, the registered stockholder, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on the stockholder’s stock certificate(s). Beneficial owners who do not also hold the shares of record may not directly make appraisal demands to Vision. The beneficial owner must, in these cases, have the registered owner, such as a broker, bank or other custodian, submit the required demand in respect of those shares. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal should be made by or for the fiduciary; and if the shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as a custodian for others, may exercise the record owner’s right of appraisal with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in the name of the record owner. In addition, the stockholder must continuously hold the shares of record from the date of making the demand through the effective date of the share exchange.
Within ten days after the effective date of the share exchange, Vision will give written notice that the share exchange has become effective to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and has properly filed a written demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262. At any time within sixty days after the effective date of the share exchange, any stockholder who has demanded an appraisal has the right to withdraw the demand and accept the terms of the share exchange by delivering a written withdrawal of the stockholder’s demands for appraisal. If, following a demand for appraisal, you have withdrawn your demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262, you will have the right to receive the share exchange consideration for your shares of Vision Common Stock.
Within 120 days after the effective date of the share exchange, any stockholder who has delivered a demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262 will, upon written request to Vision, be entitled to receive a written statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the share exchange agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal rights have been received and the aggregate number of holders of these shares. This written statement will be mailed to the requesting stockholder within ten days after the stockholder’s written request is received by Internet America or within ten days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. Within 120 days after the effective date of the share exchange, either Vision or any stockholder who has delivered a demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262 may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares held by all such stockholders. Upon the filing of the petition by a stockholder, service of a copy of the petition must be made upon Vision. Vision has no obligation to file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery in the event there are dissenting stockholders, and Vision has no present intent to file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Accordingly, the failure of a stockholder to file a petition within the period specified could nullify the stockholder’s previously written demand for appraisal.
If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to Vision, Vision will then be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to provide the Delaware Court of Chancery with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by Vision. After notice to dissenting stockholders who demanded appraisal of their shares, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition, and to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided thereby. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the stockholders who have demanded appraisal for their shares to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to that stockholder.
After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the “fair value” of the shares owned by those stockholders. This value will be exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the share exchange, but will include a fair rate of interest, if any, upon the amount determined to be the fair value. When the value is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of the value, with interest thereon accrued during the pendency of the proceeding, if the Delaware Court of Chancery so determines, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same, upon surrender by the holders of the certificates representing those shares.
You should be aware that the fair value of your shares as determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the value that you are entitled to receive under the terms of the share exchange agreement.
Costs of the appraisal proceeding may be imposed upon Vision and the stockholders participating in the appraisal proceeding by the Delaware Court of Chancery as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon the application of a stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of such a determination of assessment, each party bears its own expenses. Any stockholder who had demanded appraisal rights will not, after the effective date of the share exchange, be entitled to vote shares subject to that demand for any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other distribution with respect to those shares, other than with respect to payment as of a record date prior to the effective date; however, if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective date of the share exchange, or if the stockholder delivers a written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the terms of the share exchange within 60 days after the effective date of the share exchange, then the right of that stockholder to appraisal will cease and that stockholder will be entitled to receive the share exchange consideration for shares of his or her Vision Common Stock pursuant to the share exchange agreement. Any withdrawal of a demand for appraisal made more than 60 days after the effective date of the share exchange may only be made with the written approval of Vision. No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the court.
Failure to follow the steps required by Section 262 for perfecting appraisal rights may result in the loss of appraisal rights. In view of the complexity of Section 262, stockholders who may wish to dissent from the share exchange and pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors.
Vision is sending a notice of appraisal rights to Vision stockholders with this proxy statement/prospectus. Dissenting stockholders must, by no later than 20 days following Vision’s mailing of the notice of appraisal rights demand in writing from Vision or Skyview the appraisal of such holders’ shares.
THE SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
This section summarizes the material provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement. The following is not a complete statement of all the provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement. Detailed terms and conditions are contained in the Share Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix B and is incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference. For a complete presentation of this information, please read the full text of the Share Exchange Agreement.
Structure of the Share Exchange and Conversion of Vision Common Stock
General
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Skyview will become the parent of Vision, with Vision being the wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyview. The Share Exchange will become effective as of the date and at such time as the Certificate of Ownership is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Date”). In accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, at the Effective Date, each share of Vision Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Skyview Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. After the Share Exchange is completed, it is expected that Vision pre-share exchange stockholders will own approximately 25,148,263 shares of Skyview Common Stock or approximately 91% of the outstanding shares of the combined company, subject to adjustment under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. At the Effective Date, shares of Vision Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and cease to exist, and each holder of Vision Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Vision Common Stock, except the right to receive the share exchange consideration (as described above).
Exchange of Vision Common Stock for certificates representing shares of Skyview Common Stock
When the Share Exchange is completed, shares of Vision Common Stock will be canceled and the former holders of Vision Common Stock will receive certificates representing shares of Skyview Common Stock which constitute the number of full shares of Skyview Common Stock to which they are entitled under the Share Exchange Agreement. In the event that the share exchange becomes effective, the capitalization of Skyview will consist of 100,000,000 common shares authorized, 2,500,000 preferred shares none of which are issued or outstanding, 27,698,263
common shares issued and outstanding.
Restrictions on Sales of Shares Held by holders of Skyview Common Stock
Shares of Skyview Common Stock to be issued to holders of Vision Common Stock in the share exchange are required to be registered by Skyview in a registration statement on form S-4 prior to the Effective Date. Any material “blue sky” and other state securities laws applicable to the registration and qualification of Skyview Common Stock issuable or required to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement are also required to be complied with.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Transaction. The following discussion is based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings and pronouncements, and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action. Any such changes may be applied retroactively.
Neither Vision nor Skyview (together, the “Companies”) has sought and they will not seek any rulings from the IRS with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences discussed below. The discussion below does not in any way bind the IRS or the courts or in any way constitute an assurance that the United States federal income tax consequences discussed below will be accepted by the IRS or the courts.
This discussion is limited to U.S. stock holders of Skyview and Vision that hold their stock of common stock as capital assets (“Common Stockholders”). It does not address aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to Common Stock Holders who are subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws, such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, Common Stockholders holding their stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction transaction, and persons that are subject to loss disallowance rules with respect to their shares of common stock.
In addition, the discussion does not consider the effect of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax laws, or estate or gift tax considerations or the alternative minimum tax. The Companies provide no assurance with respect to any individual holder’s tax status or taxable position with respect to the Transaction, the Share Exchange Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby and holders are encouraged to seek independent advice from their tax advisors.
HOLDERS OF VISION COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS AND OF CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.
The following notice is based on United States Treasury Regulations governing practice before the IRS: (1) any United States federal tax advice contained in this proxy statement/prospectus is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by any taxpayer, for the purpose of avoiding United States federal tax penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer, (2) any such advice is written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions described in this memorandum, and (3) each taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
Because Skyview anticipates that it will own 100% of Vision‘s outstanding common stock if the Share Exchange is approved, Skyview would then become a parent company of Vision and Vision would be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyview (the “Share Exchange”). Holders of shares of Vision will receive shares of Skyview in exchange for their shares of Vision in connection with the Share Exchange (the “Transaction”). Management of Skyview expects the Share Exchange to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Share Exchange qualifies as a “reorganization,” the exchange of share of Skyview in exchange for shares of Vision will not result in the recognition of a gain or loss by Vision shareholders for federal income tax purposes. In addition, no gain or loss will be recognized for federal income tax purposes by Vision, Skyview, or Skyview stockholders as a result of the Transaction. This tax treatment is assumed, cannot be and is not guaranteed, and should be cause the investor to seek professional tax counseling, because neither Vision nor Skyview have sought an opinion of tax counsel that the Share Exchange will qualify for federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization”‘, within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
Tax matters are complicated, and the tax consequences of the Transaction to each Vision stockholder will depend on the facts of each shareholder’s situation. Vision shareholders are urged to read carefully the discussion in the section entitled “The Share exchange – Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction” and to consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax consequences for their participation in the Transaction.
COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF SKYVIEW STOCKHOLDERS AND VISION STOCKHOLDERS
As a result of the share exchange, Vision common stockholders will become holders of Skyview common stock. Skyview is a Delaware corporation and Vision is a Delaware corporation. The rights of Skyview stockholders are currently governed by the certificate of incorporation of Skyview, the amended and restated bylaws of Skyview, and the laws of the State of Delaware. The rights of Vision stockholders are currently governed by the certificate of incorporation of Vision, as amended, the bylaws of Vision, and the laws of the State of Delaware. At the effective time of the share exchange, holders of Vision common stock will become holders of Skyview common stock and, as such, the rights of such holders will be governed by Delaware law, the Skyview certificate of incorporation and the Skyview bylaws.
The following is a summary comparison of the material similarities and differences between the rights of holders of Skyview common stock and holders of Vision common stock.

INFORMATION ABOUT SKYVIEW HOLDINGS CORP.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate Information
On December 14, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement with the chairman of Vision Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vision”). Consummation of the share exchange transaction is subject to approval by a majority of Vision’s shareholders, and, as a practical matter, the completion of audits for Vision. Therefore, the discussion that follows will only be on continuing relevance if the share exchange is not approved.
Business Development
Skyview Holdings Corp. ("we", "us", "our", “Skyview” or the "Company") has been in the developmental stage since inception and has conducted virtually no business operations, other than organizational and administrative activities. We have no full-time employees and own no real estate or personal property. We were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation and, to a lesser extent, that desires to employ our funds in its business.
Business of the Issuer
Our business purpose is to seek a business combination with an existing operating company. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. Thus, we are a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") defines such companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we also qualify as a "shell company," because we have no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. No trading market currently exists for our securities, and Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, or to register any securities under the Securities Act or state blue sky laws or the regulations thereunder until we have successfully concluded a business combination. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.
We have conducted no business operations to date and expect to conduct none in the future, other than our efforts to effectuate a business combination. We, therefore, can be characterized as a "shell" corporation. As a "shell" corporation, we face risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. Further, as a "development stage" or "start-up" company, we face all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties related to such companies, including whether we will continue to be a going concern entity for the foreseeable future.
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees
We presently have no employees apart from our management. Our sole officer and director is engaged in outside business activities and anticipates he will devote to our business very limited time until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination. There are no other full or part-time employees.
Employment Agreements
We do not have an employment agreement in place with Mr. Frudakis, our sole officer, and do not anticipate entering into any employment agreements in the foreseeable future.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than Mr. Frudakis.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The principal office of the Company is located at 12913 42nd Terrace West, Cortez, Florida 34215, at the office of our director. This space is provided to us rent-free. We expect to be able to utilize this facility, free of charge, until such time as a business combination, if any, occurs. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Tony N. Frudakis, President, Director
TONY N. FRUDAKIS, Ph.D. Since March 2009 Dr. Frudakis has been a private equity investor in, and scientific research consultant to, various public and private enterprises having business lines in high technology and applied science fields. Between December 2005 and approximately July 2006, Dr. Frudakis was an officer, director, and one-third beneficial owner of Quetzal Capital 1, Inc., a reporting shell company that subsequently acquired Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: VLYF). Dr. Frudakis resigned as an officer and director of Quetzal Capital 1, Inc. at the time of the acquisition. During much of his time between 1998 and March 2009, Dr. Frudakis was the chief scientific officer and a member of the board of directors of DNAPrint genomics, Inc. (f/k/a GAFF Biologic), a publicly traded company, a company he founded and served in various capacities, including president and chief executive officer. Dr. Frudakis resigned as an officer and director of DNAPrint genomics, Inc. on March 6, 2009. From June 30, 2004 to February 11, 2005, Dr. Frudakis served as president and a director of a shell corporation that acquired Worldwide Biotech and Pharmaceutical Company (OTCBB: WWBP), formerly named Sun City Industries, Inc. Earlier in his career, Dr. Frudakis was a research scientist for Corixa Corporation where he developed several new techniques for RNA fingerprinting, managed and executed high-throughput gene discovery programs for various cancers and was instrumental in the company's early success in attracting research and development partners. Dr. Frudakis received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1995.
There are no family relationships among our officers, directors and significant employees.
Members of our board of directors are elected for one-year terms serving until the next annual stockholders’ meeting or until their death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification, or until a successor has been elected and qualified. All officers are appointed annually by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. Currently, our director receives no compensation for his service on the board of directors, and we do not anticipate paying any compensation to directors in the foreseeable future. Currently, Mr. Frudakis is the sole director of Skyview.
Director Independence
We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include "independent" directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Concurrent with having sufficient members and resources, the board of directors intends to establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. The audit committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The compensation committee will review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers and employees. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees. We believe that we will need a minimum of three (3) independent directors to have effective committee systems.

LEGAL MATTERS
During the past ten years, there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of our current directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing.
Plan of Operation
Skyview was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. If the proposed share exchange transaction is not approved by the shareholders of Vision Technologies, Inc., Skyview’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings.
Because Skyview currently does not have any business operations, it has not had any revenues since January 11, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2011. Total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $497 and $20 respectively. The Company incurred an accumulated loss of $20,500 for the period from January 11, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2010. These expenses consisted primarily of organizational, professional fees and outside services, which generally have been related to: (i) the filing of Exchange Act reports, and (ii) costs relating to consummating the acquisition of Vision Technologies, Inc.. It is unlikely that Skyview will have any revenues unless we are able to effect a business combination, of which there can be no assurance. The Company recorded a gain of $1,669 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as a result of forgiveness of debts due to vendors and a related party. At December 31, 2010, Skyview had total assets of $0, total liabilities of $0 and an accumulated deficit of $20,500 as compared to December 31, 2009, when Skyview had total assets of $350, total liabilities of $21,972 and a working capital deficit of $21,622.
Total operating expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $56,051 and $89,252 compared to $0 and $0 for the comparable periods of 2010. These expenses consisted primarily of organizational, professional fees and outside services. The Company recorded a gain of $1,669 since January 11, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2011 due to forgiveness of debts due to vendors and a related party. As a result, the Company incurred an accumulated loss of $109,752 for the period from January 11, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2011. It is unlikely that we will have any revenues unless we are able to effect a business combination, of which there can be no assurance. At June 30, 2011, we had no assets, total liabilities of $89,252 and an accumulated deficit of $109,752, as compared to December 31, 2010 when we had no assets and no liabilities and an accumulated deficit of $20,500.
Skyview’s liquidity depends entirely on the willingness of its sole shareholder Tony N. Frudakis to pay our expenses. Skyview has not attempted to raise cash from external sources and has no plan to do so. As evidenced from Skyview’s delinquent reporting status with the SEC, its controlling shareholders have often been unwilling or financially unable to pay timely the professional fees and expenses needed for us to maintain our reporting status with the SEC. During 2010, Dr. Frudakis committed to expend the funds necessary for the Company to attain current reporting status with the SEC, and all reports predating this annual report have been filed but were filed late. If Skyview does not succeed in finding a target acquisition, it may again find itself in delinquent reporting status if Dr. Frudakis is unwilling to advance the funds to Skyview that are necessary to pay the company’s reporting expenses.
Skyview does not have capital resources.
Change in Control
On November 24, 2010, Tony N. Frudakis, purchased from the Company 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for $20,500. A copy of the stock purchase agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2010 and is incorporated herein by reference. Simultaneously, the Company redeemed a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock from Skyview’s two former shareholders, Donald R. McKelvey and David M. Kaye, resulting in a change of control. Copies of the respective redemption agreements are attached as exhibits 2.2 and 2.3 to Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2010 and are incorporated herein by reference. Tony N. Frudakis beneficially and directly owns 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock as of the date of this report which represents (100%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The shares acquired by Tony N. Frudakis include 3,000,000 shares of voting power.
On November 24, 2010, Donald R. McKelvey resigned from his positions as President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director of the Company. The resignation of Donald R. McKelvey was not the result of any disagreement with the Registrant on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Donald R. McKelvey’s written resignations are attached as exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2010. The board of directors has not filled the vacancies created by the resignation of Donald R. McKelvey.
On November 24, 2010, Tony N. Frudakis, PhD, age 44, was appointed as a director and President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer of the Registrant.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 14, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Vision Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VT”) and with Robert “Lee” Thompson, VT’s CEO. Consummation of the share exchange transaction is subject to acceptance by a majority of VT’s shareholders. If the conditions precedent are satisfied, on or about the time of the closing, the parties to the share exchange agreement will consummate the share exchange, a change of name, and a change of control of the Company. Within 60 days of the closing of the share exchange transaction, the reorganized company will register the shares owned by Tony Frudakis and his assigns. Mr. Frudakis also receives time-limited anti-dilution rights in the share exchange agreement. The Share exchange is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” for federal income tax purposes. As a result of the exchange transaction, the holders of shares of VT common stock will receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each share of VT common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the exchange. Each share of Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the exchange will be cancelled; however, these shares are owned by Tony Frudakis, a party to the share exchange agreement, who also owns shares of VT common stock.
The foregoing description of the share exchange agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2010 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Share Exchange Agreement has been included to provide information regarding the terms of the exchange, and is not intended to provide any other factual or financial information about the Company or VT.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not had any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the balance sheets of Skyview Holdings Corp. a development stage company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations and cash flows from January 11, 2007 (date of inception) for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we 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. We believe that our audit provides reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Skyview Holdings Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the results of operations and its cash flows from January 11, 2007 (date of Inception) for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception, a retained deficit of $20,470 and no working capital, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Skyview Holdings Corp. (the "Company"), a development stage company, was incorporated in Delaware on January 11, 2007. The Company had not yet commenced any formal business operations as of December 31, 2010. All activities to date have been related to the Company formation, capital stock issuance, professional fees with regard to a proposed Securities and Exchange Commission filing and identification of businesses. The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representation of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The financial statements of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting principles.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $20,500 since the inception date of January 11, 2007, working capital deficiency of $0 as of December 31, 2010 and recorded a net profit of $1,172 for the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of forgiveness of debts. In view of the matters described above, the Company has no assets and no liabilities recorded in the accompanying balance sheet, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital and obtain financing to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort during the year ended December 31, 2010 towards obtaining additional equity financing and exploring possible share exchange candidates and expanding the Company’s business. The existing principal shareholders of the shares, in order not to burden the Company, have agreed to provide funding to the Company to pay its annual audit fees and filing costs as long as the board of directors deems it necessary. However, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accrued expenses and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2010.
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards became effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements are presented separately. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of revised Level 3 disclosure requirements which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are not required in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the provisions of the standard on January 1, 2010, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 (ASU 2010-09), Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This amendment addresses both the interaction of the requirements of this Topic with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events (paragraph 855-10-50-4). All of the amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance of the final Update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect this standard to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company’s capitalization at December 31, 2010 was 100,000,000 authorized common shares and 2,500,000 authorized preferred shares, both with a par value of $0.00001 per share.
On January 11, 2007, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, to its initial shareholders in exchange for $50 in cash. On November 24, 2010, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock to the current Chief Executive Officer for $20,500, and redeemed 5,000,000 shares of common stock owned by its former officer and shareholders, resulting in change of control. The Company has 3,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 0 shares of preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2010.
NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS
On December 14, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Vision Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VT”) and with Robert “Lee” Thompson, VT’s CEO. Consummation of the share exchange transaction is subject to acceptance by a majority of VT’s shareholders and the completion of audits for both VT and the Company. If the conditions precedent are satisfied, on or about the time of the closing, the parties to the Exchange Agreement will consummate the share exchange, a change of name, and a change of control of the Company. Within 60 days of the closing of the share exchange transaction, the reorganized company will register the shares owned by Tony Frudakis and his assigns. Mr. Frudakis also receives time-limited anti-dilution rights in the Exchange Agreement. The share exchange is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” for federal income tax purposes. As a result of the exchange transaction, the holders of shares of VT common stock will receive one share of Company common stock for each share of VT common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the exchange. Each share of Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the exchange will be cancelled; however, these shares are owned by Tony Frudakis, a party to the Exchange Agreement, who also owns shares of VT common stock. The conditions of share exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement were not satisfied as of December 31, 2010.
Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 is summarized as follows:
The following is a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the U.S. federal income tax rate to the income taxes reflected in the Statements of Operations:
| | December 31, 2010 | |
Tax expense (credit) at statutory rate - federal | | | (34 | %) |
State tax expense net of federal tax | | | - | |
Valuation allowance | | | 34 | % |
Tax expense at actual rate | | | - | |
The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2010 are as follows:
| | December 31, 2010 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | |
Net operating loss carry forward | | $ | 6,970 | |
Total gross deferred tax assets | | | 6,970 | |
Less - valuation allowance | | | (6,970 | ) |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | - | |
Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The primary differences result from deducting certain expenses for financial statement purposes but not for federal income tax purposes.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had net accumulated losses of approximately $20,500 for U.S. federal income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income expiring on various dates through 2030. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of its realization. The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was a decrease of $398 and an increase of $7, respectively.
In the normal course of business, the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessment by these taxing authorities. Accordingly, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of tax positions it has taken in its tax returns or for the amount of any tax benefit that exceeds the cumulative probability threshold in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-15. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts determined upon ultimate resolution, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position. The Company is not under examination for any open tax years.

SKYVIEW HOLDINGS CORP.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Skyview Holding Corp. (the "Company"), a development stage company, was incorporated in Delaware on January 11, 2007. The Company had not yet commenced any formal business operations as of June 30, 2011. All activities to date have been related to the Company formation, capital stock issuance, professional fees with regard to a proposed Securities and Exchange Commission filing and identification of businesses. The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2011, the results of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representation of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The financial statements of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting principles.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $109,752 since the inception date of January 11, 2007, working capital deficiency of $89,252 as of June 30, 2011 and recorded a net loss of $89,252 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. In view of the matters described above, continued operations of the Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing, and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The existing principal shareholder, in order not to burden the Company, has agreed to provide funding to the Company to pay its operating expenses as long as the board of directors deems it necessary. However, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011.
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has received advances from a shareholder for its working capital requirements amounting to $89,252 as of June 30, 2011. Advances due to a shareholder are non-interest bearing, unsecured, and have no definite terms of repayment.
NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company’s capitalization at June 30, 2011 was 100,000,000 authorized common shares and 2,500,000 authorized preferred shares, both with a par value of $0.00001 per share.
On January 11, 2007, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, to its initial shareholders in exchange for $50 in cash. On November 24, 2010, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock to the current Chief Executive Officer for $20,500, and redeemed 5,000,000 shares of common stock owned by its former officer and a shareholder, resulting in change of control. The Company has 3,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 0 shares of preferred stock outstanding at June 30, 2011.
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS
On December 14, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Vision Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VT”) and with Robert “Lee” Thompson, VT’s Chief Executive Officer. Consummation of the share exchange transaction is subject to acceptance by a majority of VT’s shareholders and the completion of audits for both VT and the Company. If the conditions precedent are satisfied, on or about the time of the closing, the parties to the Exchange Agreement will consummate the share exchange, a change of name, and a change of control of the Company. Within 60 days of the closing of the share exchange transaction, the reorganized company will register the shares owned by Tony Frudakis and his assigns. Mr. Frudakis also receives time-limited anti-dilution rights in the Exchange Agreement. The merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” for federal income tax purposes. As a result of the exchange transaction, the holders of shares of VT common stock will receive one share of Company common stock for each share of VT common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the exchange. Each share of Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the exchange will be cancelled; however, these shares are owned by Tony Frudakis, a party to the Exchange Agreement, who also owns shares of VT common stock. The conditions of merger pursuant to the Exchange Agreement were not satisfied as of June 30, 2011.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate Information
We were incorporated March 30, 1998, under the laws of the state of Delaware. Our executive offices are located at 700 SE 5th Street, Suite #2, Bentonville, AR 72712. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Business
We are a technology company which designs, manufactures and markets ruggedized day and thermal imaging camera systems for tactical use by military, paramilitary, law enforcement, public safety, heavy industry and security personnel. Ruggedized camera systems can withstand violent shock and vibration while operating in extremely harsh climatic conditions. To be defined as a “ruggedized camera”, equipment must achieve the military’s MIL-STD 810F series and MIL-STD-901D Grade “A” Shock Certification. To date MANTEC, Inc. a contract consulting firm to the US Government has indicated Vision cameras are the only known systems to have earned this certification. Typical customer applications include:
· | Military: Identify and defeat potential threats, enhance perimeter security in the battlespace, provide precise target location and designation, provide situational awareness, enhance border and maritime surveillance, and assist reconnaissance efforts. |
· | Law-Enforcement: Conduct counter-terrorism, drug interdiction, boarder and perimeter security, patrol, surveillance, reconnaissance and pursuit missions. |
· | Security: Enhance commercial and industrial perimeter security, high value asset protection such as ports and nuclear facilities, safety, manpower reduction, equipment operations and surveillance. |
Our goals are to:
· | establish Vision cameras and camera control protocol as the standard ruggedized system used across all major military combat vehicle and shipboard platforms in accordance with U.S. military commonality requirements; |
· | secure sole-source contracts for Marine Corps’ Amphibious Combat Vehicle and Marine Personnel Carrier, Army’s MRAP family of vehicles program, Army’s Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Army’s Stryker Combat Vehicle, Light Armored Vehicle, Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship and Navy’s Shipboard Protection and Topside Surveillance Systems; |
· | secure sole source contracts with Royal Canadian Halifax Destroyer and LAV programs |
· | secure sole source contracts with the Royal Saudi Guards LAV program |
· | continue to expand distribution, accelerate design cycles, reduce manufacturing cycles, and provide outstanding customer service; |
Vision produces five basic ruggedized day/thermal imaging (IR) camera systems, each with multiple camera/lens variants. Commercially available “off-the-shelf” imaging products, such as camera engines and lenses, are purchased, ruggedized using proprietary methods and installed within Vision’s ruggedized housing. This offers customers virtually unlimited abilities to customize camera systems, on a single platform, to fit specific missions while significantly reducing costs and improving supply support. Modular construction allows rapid removal and replacement of camera housings, and on-the-fly adaptation to fast-changing mission requirements. All Vision pan and tilt systems and fixed camera housings can accommodate multiple camera and lens combinations. Additionally, camera housings and pan and tilt systems have bolt-on capabilities for additional sensors such as laser designators, range finders, and infra red illuminators.
MILITARY STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
Each Vision Technologies system has completed a full series of MIL-STD tests specific to each Shipboard/Combat Vehicle program. Table 1 shows the complete list of MIL-STD VTI systems have been certified under. To meet these MIL-STD’s, Vision Technologies has developed patented and proprietary methods to ruggedize commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components to meet critical MIL-STD’s, including the demanding MIL-STD-901D Grade A shock standard. Vision Technologies designed circuit board configurations, lens housings and drive systems, internal camera housings, redundant seal designs, and in some cases fully deconstructs and then reconstructs various COTS components (including cameras and lenses) to meet MIL-STD’s. This allows Vision Technologies to use virtually any COTS component available to meet the customer’s specific imaging requirement. We know of no other series of camera systems that are as thoroughly tested as ours.

All Vision Technologies camera heads/housings are designed to be compatible with every major board level camera/lens manufacturer worldwide. Our systems provide an unlimited number of camera/sensor configurations on a common pan and tilt or fixed system allowing for the capability to incorporate the latest changes in technology, significantly extending the useful life of the system and improving cost performance. As the surveillance requirements for the Offshore Patrol Cutter are developed, VTI systems will be able to adapt EO/IR camera systems that will me the specific surveillance requirement criteria.
Vision Technologies pan and tilt chassis can accommodate 1-4 different sensors. Most sensors can be swapped in place in approximately 15 minutes with standard tools without taking the system off line. This allows for a wide variety and combination of day, lowlight, IR camera/lens systems as well as laser designator, laser illuminators etc. to meet the customers real world requirements. The systems can be mounted upright or inverted on any shipboard, vehicle, or fixed site location (including moving turrets) regardless of exposure to the elements.
All Vision Technologies camera systems are maintenance free.
Vision Technologies offers MIL-STD certified BX (Box) Cameras which have multiple variations and numerous applications. The cameras can be color, black / white, or day / low light or infra-red. Additionally the cameras are heated, RFI shielded, nitrogen charged, and come equipped with a Constant Focus or zoom lens. Certain BX series systems are Internet Protocol/Power Over Ethernet (IP/POE) capable with the both in camera audio and video storage. These systems are networked and designed to monitor all above and below deck spaces, providing up to an 80 degree horizontal field of view
The BX camera housing is small and lightweight, measuring only 3.5" high, 2.95" wide and 2.41" deep.
J2, J6 and J8 series Shipboard Camera Systems
Shipboard Systems: In addition to the BX series of cameras, we develop pan and tilt camera systems designed for above and below deck shipboard applications. Our cameras are available with features including day color, thermal (IR) night systems, in-camera audio/video recording capabilities, low light systems, Infra-red illumination and both day and IR zoom (optical and digital).lens capabilities The systems are interchangeable between positions on the ship and between different classes of ships.
Vision also offers a low light IR illuminated Internet Protocol/Power Over Ethernet (IP/POE) pan and tilt camera system designed specifically to provide the Bridge, Damage Control, Main Engineering and other designated repair stations on a ship with multiple, independently controlled systems for day and extremely low light situational awareness. This low light system is designed for all below and above deck spaces to include flight deck, at sea refueling stations, main machinery spaces, fueling pump room, electrical spaces, ballast control, unmanned voids etc. The system is wireless and provides up to a 80 degree Horizontal Field of View (HFOV).
Vehicle Mounted Imaging System
Our vehicle mounted imaging systems consist of pan and tilts (J2/J6 Series) and fixed (FX Series) electro optic and Infra-red (EO/IR) camera’s which can provide the driver with forward and rear viewing and the troop/vehicle commander with full 360 situational awareness to include +90/-70 degree vertical field of view. These systems were designed specifically to provide the vehicle driver, car commander and troop commander with multiple, independently controlled sensors for day and night situational awareness in an amphibious, urban, or open field combat environment. The systems are designed to operate in a run and shot environment
Similar to the shipboard cameras, the vehicle mounted imaging systems are interchangeable between platforms and were required to meet a very stringent set of MIL-STD’s including MIL-STD 901D Grade “A” Shock. In addition to a intensive MIL-STD testing program, these sensors completed a full 5 year Operational Assessment with General Dynamics and the United States Marine Corps in maritime/amphibious, jungle, desert and arctic environments for the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle program. The system is maintenance free, requiring nothing more than routine lens cleaning.

The patents and patent applications listed on Exhibit A to the Agreement, and all continuations, continuations in part and divisions thereof, and all renewals and foreign counterparts of any of the foregoing.
Regulatory Environment
We are not subject to government regulation in the manufacture of our products or the components in our products. However, our products are subject to certain government restrictions on sales to "unfriendly" countries and countries designated as adversarial, which may limit our sales to the international market. In addition, our resellers and end users may be subject to numerous regulations that stem from surveillance activities. We also benefit from the recent "Made in America" trade laws where non-United States manufactures must secure waivers in order to sell security and surveillance products to United States domestic end-users.
Security and surveillance systems, including cameras, raise privacy issues and our products involve both video and audio. The regulations regarding the recording and storage of this data are uncertain and evolving. For example, under the Federal wiretapping statute, the audio portion of our surveillance systems may not record a person's conversations without his or her consent. Further, there are state and federal laws associated with recording video in non-public places.
We believe that our success will depend greatly on our ability to identify, attract, and retain capable employees. As of June 30, 2011, we had 21 full time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit, and we believe our relations with our employees are good. The Company has no difficulty in obtaining qualified personnel, and no problems with personnel availability or turnover are anticipated.

EXPERT
The financial statements for Skyview for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, included in this proxy statement/prospectus, and included in the Registration Statement, were audited by R.R. Hawkins & Associates International, a PC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report appearing with the financial statements herein and incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus, and are included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the sections of the proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Information about the Companies — Vision Technologies, Inc.” beginning on page ____ and “Risk Factors” beginning on page ____, as well as Vision’s financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on Vision’s current expectations. There are various factors — many beyond Vision’s control — that could cause Vision actual results or the occurrence or timing of expected events to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are described below and other factors are described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including above under “Risks Factors” beginning on page ____. In addition, there are factors not described in this proxy statement/prospectus that could cause actual results or the occurrence or timing of expected events to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus are based on information available to Vision as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, Vision assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Overview
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations set forth below are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to our financial statements. We believe they are important to the presentation of our financial condition and require the greatest degree of management judgment to make the estimates necessary to ensure their fair presentation.
Accrued Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expense consists primarily of:
· | salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in research and development activities; |
· | costs of materials used in research and development; and |
· | depreciation of capital assets used to discover and develop our product candidates. |
Since inception, the Company’s principle activity has been research and development of ruggedized cameras. A substantial portion of this effort has been funded by the Federal government as non-recurring engineering. The Company is currently developing the “next generation” of ruggedized cameras (in collaboration with our customers).
Research and development expenses have diminished over the last several years due to Vision’s inability to raise adequate capital to maintain research and development at its previous levels. Upon completion of the Share Exchange, we expect research and development expenses to increase substantially in the latter half of 2011 and thereafter.
Stock-Based Compensation
Vision does not offer stock option or stock purchase plans, bonus or profit sharing plans, or pension or deferred compensation plans or agreements to its directors and officers.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Changes in Accounting Methods
No Changes.
Financial Operations Overview
Revenue
Contingent Liabilities
The Company has two contingent liabilities:
· | Revenue sharing agreement with Jeannie Fleeman Trust. Under the terms of a Settlement Agreement dated June 12, 2009 (see attached), the Company reacquired certain common shares and had significant amounts of its debt extinguished. In exchange, the Company is required to pay to the Trust a revenue share equal to 5% of all gross revenues received until a total of $3,000,000 in revenue sharing has been paid. To date, the Company has paid approximately $200,000 to the Trust. Since the revenue sharing is contingent on future revenues, no amount of this obligation has been recorded on the balance sheet. |
· | Royalties to Arkansas Science and Technology Authority (ASTA). In accordance with a certain Investment and Royalty Agreement dated August 31, 2000, the Company received $204,000 in funds from ASTA as seed capital. That balance has been subsequently paid down to the current $195,000. In exchange for those funds, the Agreement calls for the Company to pay "royalties" to ASTA equal to 2% of all gross revenues received until the aggregate of all royalties paid equals $1,020,000. The Company's obligation to pay royalties to ASTA exceeding, in the aggregate, the original $204,000 in seed funding plus a reasonable amount of interest is considered contingent upon the results of negotiations currently taking place between ASTA's Board of Directors and the Company. The Company maintains that this Agreement is usurious, unenforceable under Arkansas law, and contrary to ASTA's stated mission. |
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased in the period ended December 31, 2010. These expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel in administrative, finance, operations and human resource functions. Other costs include fees for general legal and other professional services, accounting fees, and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums.

The company does not prepare catalogues, advertising, and other product/service literature. However, information that would be found in such literature is included in the company’s website: www.visntec.com.
Net Interest Income (expense)
Interest income consists of interest earned from a loan to Pinotage.
Interest expense consists of interest owed to holders of Notes Payable, interest for leased office equipment and revolving credit.

Rogers, Arkansas
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the balance sheets of Vision Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the schedule of accounts receivable is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the schedule of accounts receivable. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vision Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VISION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Vision Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, manufactures ruggedized vision systems for the military, providing applications specific digital image solutions which incorporate innovative and cost-effective ways to capture, enhance and distribute digital image data. Through creative engineering and enhancement the Company has designed and developed a proprietary line of mission-critical, combat-qualified vision systems which meet the most stringent battlefield/naval deployment requirements as specified per MIL-S-901D Grade “A” standards, which covers ruggedized performance requirements for al Department of Defense applications for all military systems considered combat essential. The Company‘s manufacturing facility and general offices are located in Rogers, Arkansas.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. At December 31, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficit of $7,631,106, and has cash used in operations of $1,172,613 in 2010 and has a net loss of $2,756,565 in 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses from operations and has never operated at successful manufacturing levels over an extended period. Further, the Company has limited additional financial resources available to support its operations and in the past years has, in large part, been supported by certain major stockholders. There is no commitment for such stockholders to continue providing financial support to the Company.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt concerning the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ongoing support of its stockholders, investors, customers and creditors, and its ability to successfully produce and market its products at economically feasible levels. The Company will require additional financial resources in order to fund maturities of debt and other obligations as they become due.
The Company has been seeking to identify potential equity participants in the private equity market in an attempt to generate over $5 million in additional working capital. Management and major stockholders are currently marketing the Company based upon management’s plans which include, pursuing application of its technology in other branches of the United States military not yet served by the Company, identifying additional applications of its technology in public and private sectors and potential expansion of facilities into areas physically closer to the existing and potential customers.
Completion of management’s plan will require the Company receive the proceeds from the equity offering or obtain additional debt or equity financing beyond those resources currently available to the Company. Also, additional financial resources may be necessary to fund maturities of most of its debt and other obligations as the Company is currently in default of making good on such obligations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in securing resources to fund maturities of debt and other obligations or to support the Company until such time the company is able to consistently generate income from operations.
The Company is actively seeking bridge financing of approximately $1 million to support current operations. In December 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with an entity pursuant to which, the shareholders of the Company will exchange their shares for the shares of the public entity. The terms and conditions of the share exchange agreement are expected to be completed within the next sixty (60) days. However, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in securing resources to fund maturities of debt and other obligations or to support the Company until such time the company is able to consistently generate income from operations.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representation of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The financial statements of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting principles.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Trade accounts are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Delinquency fees are not assessed. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified by the customer’s remittance advice, or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced, if needed, by a valuation allowance that reflects managements’ best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. As of December 31, 2010, management concludes that no allowance for doubtful accounts is required.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined by the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of furniture and fixtures, equipment, computer hardware and software, is recorded at cost and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three years to twenty years. Gains or losses from the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset compared to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the assets fair market value is recognized when the carrying amount exceed the undiscounted cash flows.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. The Company did not have any asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are not subject to evolving federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations related to the discharge of materials into the environment. Our process is not expected to produce harmful levels of emissions or waste by-products. However, these laws and regulations would require us to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of substances at our site should they occur. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be costly. Additionally, governmental authorities may enforce the laws and regulations with a variety of civil and criminal enforcement measures, including monetary penalties and remediation requirements. We are not aware of any area of non-compliance with federal, state or local environmental laws and regulations as of the date of this report.
Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Deferred Revenues
The Company receives payments in advance from customers on sales orders received for product shipments before it is manufactured, assembled and shipped to the customer. The Company records these advance payments as deferred revenue until the product is shipped to the customer or legal title to product has otherwise transferred to the customer.
Stock-based Compensation
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive income (loss) and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income (loss) in the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has a royalty payable to Pinotage amounting to $447,431 and $409,544, respectively.
NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
The Company’s capitalization at December 31, 2010 was 25,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share.
On July 6, 2009, the Company issued 190,000 shares of its common stock valued at $95,000, to a stockholder as interest payment pursuant to the terms of a promissory note. On November 18, 2009, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock valued at $50,000 to a director and stockholder as compensation for services. During 2009, a shareholder and member of board of directors agreed to forgive note payable and accrued interest due him in the amount of $4,671,918. The Company recorded the forgiveness of debt as contributed capital in its financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
On August 13, 2010 and December 13, 2010, the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock to third parties as costs for raising capital for the Company which was recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital as offering costs. From August 2010 through December 2010, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to accredited investors for cash proceeds of $500,000, pursuant to a private placement memorandum for sale of shares on a best efforts basis. In addition, the Company raised an additional cash of $670,000 as of December 31, 2010 for sale of 670,000 shares of common stock to accredited investors. The Company has not issued 670,000 shares as of December 31, 2010, and recorded $670,000 as accrued stock payable on its balance sheet at December 31, 2010. During 2010, the Company issued 104,500 shares of its common stock valued at $121,000 for settlement of a debt for purchase of capital asset amounting to $58,000 and satisfaction of payables amounting to $63,000.

As a result of all stock issuances, the Company had 21,138,797 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2010.
NOTE 10 – CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Over 95% of the Company’s sales of its products in 2010 and 2009 were primarily to four customers for the government of the United States of America (the U.S. Government). In addition, the Company’s revenues from the U.S. Government largely result from contracts awarded under various defense programs. Program funding is subject to the overall U.D. Government budget and appropriations decisions and processes, and the Company’s programs must compete for funding with non-defense programs and other defense programs in which the Company is not involved. U.S. Government budget decisions, including defense spending, are based on changing government priorities and objectives, which are driven by numerous factors, including geo-political events and macro-economic conditions, and are beyond the Company’s control. The Company can give no assurance that U.S. Government defense spending will continue to grow. In addition, changing government priorities and requirements could shift spending away from programs with which the Company is involved. Shifts or reductions in defense spending or changes in timing could result in the reduction or elimination of, or the delay in, funding of one or more of the Company’s defense programs.
NOTE 11 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company, its President and Vice President were named in a lawsuit filed by five stockholders of the Company (“Stockholders”), alleging violations of the Arkansas Securities Act related to the issuance of the Company’s stock. The plaintiff’s effort was a hostile takeover attempt to take control of the Company. On June 12, 2009, the Company reached a settlement with the stockholders. The terms of the settlement required the Company to pay (a) cash settlement of $130,000, (b) real estate property taxes of $30,844, and (c) a contingent payment of 5% of future gross revenues (‘Revenue Share”) up to a total sum of $3 million. In exchange, the stockholders returned 800,000 shares of Company’s common stock which they had purchased for a cash consideration of approximately $3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded on its financial statements a contingent liability of $3 million, paid the cash settlement of $130,000, real estate property taxes of $30,844 and $73,748 towards the Revenue Share pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. In addition, the Company recorded $591,361 as the cost of the treasury shares received pursuant to the contingent settlement of $3 million. As a result of the above transactions, the Company recorded $591,361 as the cost of treasury shares for the 800,000 shares returned by the Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement and the Stockholders were required to pay off $2.4 million of the Company’s bank debt. All claims made in the lawsuits by the Stockholders were ruled baseless and frivolous by the court, and were dismissed.
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company paid $69,033 and $73,248 as Revenue Share towards the deferred liability.
The Company leases its corporate office and manufacturing facility from a third party under a non-cancellable lease agreement that expires January 31, 2012. The monthly rent per the lease agreement is $22,575 per month. The Company leases equipment under a non-cancellable lease that expires August 17, 2011 at a monthly rent of $30 per month. Annual rent expense for the office and manufacturing facility amounted to $276,820 and $271,500 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is summarized as follows. Following is a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the U.S. federal income tax rate to the income taxes reflected in the Statements of Operations:
| | December 31, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
Tax expense (credit) at statutory rate - federal | | | (34 | %) | | | (34 | %) |
State tax expense net of federal tax | | | (6.5 | %) | | | (6.5 | %) |
Valuation allowance | | | 40.5 | % | | | 40.5 | % |
Tax expense at actual rate | | | - | | | | - | |
The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:
| | December 31, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | |
Net operating loss carry forward | | $ | 9,312,139 | | | $ | 8,374,907 | |
Total gross deferred tax assets | | | 9,312,139 | | | | 8,374,907 | |
Less - valuation allowance | | | (9,312,139 | ) | | | (8,374,907 | ) |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The primary differences result from deducting certain expenses for financial statement purposes but not for federal income tax purposes.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of $9,312,139 for U.S. federal income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income expiring on various dates through 2030. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of its realization. The net change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was an increase of $937,232 and a benefit of $154,852, respectively.
In the normal course of business, the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessment by these taxing authorities. Accordingly, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of tax positions it has taken in its tax returns or for the amount of any tax benefit that exceeds the cumulative probability threshold in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-15. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts determined upon ultimate resolution, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position. The Company is not under examination for any open tax years.
No income taxes were paid by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
NOTE 13 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH RISK OF ACCOUNTING LOSS
The Company uses financial institutions in which it maintains cash balances which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s uninsured cash balance totaled approximately $0 and $77,992.
NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued.
Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the Company received cash proceeds of $741,667 from accredited investors for the sale of 741,667 shares of unregistered common stock pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum. The Company has not issued 741,667 common shares to the accredited investors.
The Company received loans and advances from the third parties amounting $264,805. Loans received from third parties were unsecured, interest bearing and due within twelve months from the date of loan.
The Company has paid cash of $145,418 to a stockholder in full settlement of its promissory note.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Vision Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, manufactures ruggedized vision systems for the military, providing applications specific digital image solutions which incorporate innovative and cost-effective ways to capture, enhance and distribute digital image data. Through creative engineering and enhancement the Company has designed and developed a proprietary line of mission-critical, combat-qualified vision systems which meet the most stringent battlefield/naval deployment requirements as specified per MIL-S-901D Grade “A” standards, which covers ruggedized performance requirements for al Department of Defense applications for all military systems considered combat essential. The Company‘s manufacturing facility and general offices are located in Rogers, Arkansas.
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2011, the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern
These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. At June 30, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit of $6,489,717, cash used in operations of $580,175, and has a net loss of $92,155 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses from operations and has limited additional financial resources available to support its operations and in the past years has, in large part, been supported by certain major stockholders. There is no commitment for such stockholders to continue providing financial support to the Company.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt concerning the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ongoing support of its stockholders, investors, customers and creditors, and its ability to successfully produce and market its products at economically feasible levels. The Company will require additional financial resources in order to fund maturities of debt and other obligations as they become due.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representation of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The financial statements of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting principles.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Trade accounts are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Delinquency fees are not assessed. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified by the customer’s remittance advice, or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced, if needed, by a valuation allowance that reflects managements’ best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, management concluded that no allowance for doubtful accounts is required.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined by the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of furniture and fixtures, equipment, computer hardware and software, is recorded at cost and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three years to twenty years. Gains or losses from the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset compared to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the assets fair market value is recognized when the carrying amount exceed the undiscounted cash flows.
Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Deferred Revenues
The Company occasionally receives payments in advance from customers on sales orders received for product shipments before it is manufactured, assembled and shipped to the customer. The Company records these advance payments as deferred revenue until the product is shipped to the customer or legal title to product has otherwise transferred to the customer.
Stock-based Compensation
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On February 8, 2010 Skyview and Vision entered into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which Vision will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skyview.. Each outstanding share of Vision will be cancelled at the effective time of the share exchange and, in exchange therefore, Skyview will issue shares of Skyview common stock. Following the Share Exchange, Vision stockholders will no longer have any interest in Vision, but will have an equity stake in Skyview. Immediately after the Share Exchange, existing Skyview stockholders are expected to represent 9% of the potential outstanding shares of Skyview common stock and the former Vision stockholders are expected to own approximately 91% of the Skyview common stock.. The Share Exchange is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Share Exchange is subject to customary closing conditions.
Because Vision shareholders will own approximately 91% of the common stock of the combined company upon consummation of the Share Exchange, Vision is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Skyview will be recorded as of the share exchange closing date at their estimated fair values.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume that, immediately prior to the effective time of the Share Exchange, all of Vision common stock will convert into Skyview common shares at the ratio of 1 to 1 and subject to further adjustment to account for the occurrence of certain events discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
In December 2007, the FASB amended FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations , (“FASB ASC 805) (formerly FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations ), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired in an acquisition. FASB ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.
ASC Topic 805 revises the definition of the acquisition date as the date the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree. This is typically the closing date, and is used to measure the fair value of the consideration paid. When the acquirer issues equity instruments as full or partial payment for the acquiree, the fair value of the acquirer’s equity instruments will be measured at the acquisition date, rather than an earlier measurement date (i.e. the share exchange announcement date). Transaction costs are excluded from the acquisition accounting. They are instead accounted for under other generally accepted accounting principles, which may mean the costs are expensed as incurred (e.g., due diligence costs), or, to the extent applicable, treated as a cost of issuing equity securities.
ASC Topic 805, as amended also retains the guidance in SFAS 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill. However, as amended, the scope is broader than that of SFAS 141, which was applied to only business combinations in which control was obtained by transferring consideration. Since the transaction is expected to close after January 1, 2009, the application of ASC Topic 805, as amended, has been considered in arriving at the unaudited pro forma results.
3. | Pro Forma and Purchase Accounting Adjustments |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include pro forma adjustments to give effect to certain significant capital transactions occurring as a direct result of the proposed Share Exchange and the acquisition of Skyview by Vision for accounting purposes.
The pro forma adjustments are as follows:
(A) To reflect the cancelation of 3,000,000 shares of Skyview common shares, par value $0.00001. As stated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the surviving Corporation will issue one common share for every one ordinary shares held by Skyview shareholders for a total of 3,000,000 shares of the surviving corporation common stock.
Immediately following the effective time of the Share Exchange and attributing ownership to warrants issued in consideration of the Share Exchange, Vision shareholders will own approximately 91%, and Skyview’s existing stockholders will own approximately 9%, of the common stock outstanding not giving consideration to dilutive warrants issued in connection with the transaction, of Vision, the surviving corporation.
(B) To reflect estimated costs to consummate the Share Exchange and to register the shares issued in the Share Exchange. Adjustment amount includes:
| Fees payable for investment banking services, legal, accounting, printing and other consulting services totaling $15,000 that are not yet reflected in the historical results of Skyview and Vision at June 30, 2011. These costs are not considered recurring costs of the combined corporation and accordingly, are reflected in the pro forma Statement of Operations. |
(C) To reflect the recapitalization of the capital structure as a result of the share exchange. Upon completion of the Share Exchange, 26,076,929 shares of common stock of the parent corporation, par value of $0.00001, will be outstanding. The following table sets forth the calculation of the number of shares outstanding upon completion of the share exchange. These transactions occurred within the normal course of business and did not occur as a direct result of the proposed Share Exchange:

4. | Pro Forma Earnings per Share |
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (“SFAS No. 128”), codified in ASC 260, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed similarly to basic net loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include all potential dilutive common shares, including outstanding options and warrants. Potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the diluted loss per common share computation for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 because such securities have an anti dilutive effect on the pro forma combined loss per share due to the net losses reported for Skyview and Vision for the respective period.
The following tables set forth reconciliations of the number of shares used in the pro forma basic and diluted EPS computation for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Penny Stock Regulations
Our Common Stock is considered a “penny stock” as defined by Section 3(a)(51) and Rule 3a51-1(g) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because we do not have:
Net tangible assets (i.e., total assets less intangible assets and liabilities) in excess of $2,000,000, and Average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The above-referenced requirements may create a lack of liquidity, making trading difficult or impossible, and accordingly, shareholders may find it difficult to dispose of our shares.
State Securities – Blue Sky Laws
Transfer of our Common Stock may also be restricted under the securities laws or securities regulations promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our Common Stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time.
We are not currently listed in Standard and Poor's Corporation Records, a nationally recognized securities manual, which would provide us with “manual” exemptions in 38 states as indicated in 1 Blue Sky L. Rep. (CCH) 2401 (2008), entitled “Standard Manuals Exemptions.” We intend to obtain a listing in Standard and Poor's Corporation Records and intend to do so as soon as possible.
Thirty-eight states have what is commonly referred to as a “manual exemption” for secondary trading of securities purchased under this registration statement. In these states, so long as we obtain and maintain a Standard and Poor’s Corporate Records listing or another acceptable manual, secondary trading of our Common Stock can occur without any filing, review or approval by state regulatory authorities in these states. These states are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. In most instances, under current state rules, secondary trading can occur in these states without further action. However no assurance can be given that such rules will not change in the future or that a specific secondary trading transaction will qualify for a manual exemption.
We may not be able to qualify securities for resale in other states which require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders.
Shares Offered by Selling Stockholders
27,698,263 shares of Common Stock are included in this proxy statement/prospectus as being offered by Selling Stockholders. The offering will be kept open for at least twelve months to allow the Selling Stockholders to sell their shares pursuant to this registration statement and prospectus.
The Company will pay the expenses of the registration of the Selling Stockholders’ shares.
The Selling Stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock received after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus from the Selling Stockholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may offer the shares covered by this proxy statement/prospectus to the public or otherwise from time to time. The registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that any of them will be offered or sold by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders have informed us that any or all of the common shares covered by this proxy statement/prospectus may be sold to purchasers directly by the Selling Stockholders or on their behalf through brokers, dealers or agents in private or market transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
· | short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC; |
· | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this proxy statement/prospectus, or under an amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this proxy statement/prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this proxy statement/prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this proxy statement/prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any.
The Selling Stockholders may receive underwriter compensation. The Selling Stockholders in this proxy statement/prospectus will be able to sell at the market price and may profit by the difference between their cost and the market price so long as the market price per share exceeds the Selling Stockholder’s costs per share.
The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. Skyview Holdings Corp. will not receive any of the proceeds from the offerings made by the Selling Stockholders.
The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any
discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any
applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the common shares.
We have also advised the Selling Stockholders that if a particular offer of common shares is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information described in this “Plan of Distribution” section of the proxy statement/prospectus, then, to the extent required, a prospectus supplement must be distributed setting forth such terms and related information as required.
In addition, we will make copies of this proxy statement/prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable.
The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed with the Selling Stockholder to keep the registration statement, of which this /proxy statement prospectus constitutes a part, effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this proxy statement/prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act.

APPENDIX B: Share Exchange Ageement
APPENDIX D: Delaware General Corporation Law, Title 8, Section 262
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:
a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or
d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.
(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.
(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DEALER PROSPECTUS DELIVERY OBLIGATION
Until ______, 2012, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in the re-sale offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Indemnification of Officers and Directors |
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We will then be governed by the court’s decision.
Exhibits and Financial Statements |
The exhibits listed below in the “Exhibit Index” are part of this Registration Statement and are numbered in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-K.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (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 registration statement., (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(e) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(f) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant 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 such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
