RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company's common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.
Risks Related to Our Business
Because our company has a limited operating history and therefore we do know if we can maintain profitability, if we cannot successfully manage the risks normally faced by start-up companies, our business may fail.
The Company was incorporated February 14, 2006 and commenced operations through its first subsidiary, Amerioca Consultant, LLC, doing business as ("dba") Marcus B. Smith Galleries incorporated on July 19, 2004 in
the State of Georgia and operates as a fine art gallery and also offers art collection consulting services, and Pablo and Peter Calico Promotions LLC, ("dba") Pablo Calico Cigars, was incorporated on October 18, 2005 in the state of Texas and imports, distributes, wholesales and retails hand made cigars imported from Brazil. Therefore the company has a relatively limited operating history. There can be no assurance at this time that the Company will operate profitably or that it will have adequate working capital to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company believes that its success at this stage will depend in large part on its ability to (i) Successfully raise capital in future private placement share offerings (ii) Manage daily operations profitably, given all of the risks. The Company has earned limited income in the initial stages of its business which may not continue into the foreseeable future. The Company may not be successful in addressing the aforementioned risks, which may have a substantial adverse affect upon the Company's business.
Our prospects are subject to the risks and expenses encountered by start up companies, such as uncertainty regarding level of future revenue and inability to budget expenses and manage growth accordingly, and inability to access sources of financing when required and at rates favorable to us. Our limited operating history and the highly competitive nature of the art and cigar industries make it difficult or impossible to predict future results of our operations.
The fact that we are in the early development of our company and that we have only generated limited revenue since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are in the development stage and have generated limited revenues since our inception on February 14, 2006. Since we are still in the early stages of developing our company and because of the limited business operations as at March 31, 2007 there is no assurance we will continue profitably.
No assurance of profitability.
The art and cigar industries are very competitive and dependent upon the acceptance of the Company's art and cigar service offerings and the effectiveness of its marketing program to maintain and attract customers. There can be no assurance that our business plan will be successful or result in earning substantial revenues or profit or that investors will not lose their entire investment.
We face risks associated with the planned future expansion of our operations.
Management has determined that the success of our business strategy depends on our ability to expand, either by developing our fine art galleries and art collection consulting services and by developing the import, distribution, wholesale and retail of hand made cigars or by acquiring established fine art galleries or cigar distributors. Our success also depends on our ability to operate and successfully manage our daily operations. Our ability to expand successfully will depend upon a number of factors, including the following:
- the availability and cost of store locations for development;
- the availability of art gallery and cigar distributor acquisition opportunities;
- the hiring, training, and retention of additional management;
- the availability of adequate financing;
- the continued development and implementation of management information systems;
- competitive factors; and
- general economic and business conditions.
Increased construction costs and delays resulting from governmental regulatory approvals, strikes, or work stoppages, adverse weather conditions, may also affect the opening of art galleries or cigar distribution centers in the future. Newly opened art galleries and cigar distributors may operate at a loss for a period following their initial opening. The length of this period will depend upon a number of factors, including the time of the year the outlet is opened, the sales volume, and our ability to control costs.
We may not successfully achieve our expansion goals. Additional outlets that we develop or acquire may not be profitable. In addition, the opening of additional outlets in an existing market may have the effect of drawing customers from and reducing the sales volume of our existing art galleries or cigar distribution centers in those markets.
The competition in the Houston Texas area is intensely competitive.
The company will compete with other cigar distribution companies and other art dealers and art galleries in the provision of its cigar and art gallery businesses. These competitors include established art galleries, art dealers, and cigar distributors.
There are currently 27 art galleries and 6 art brokers in Houston area. In Houston, there are currently 21 cigar distributors. The Company expects such competition to continue and intensify in the future.
We compete with a variety of established competitors in this market. These competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, established customer bases, and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. The Company believes that the principal factors affecting competition in its proposed market include name recognition, ability to differentiate its product and service offerings, maintaining a high level of customer service and customer satisfaction, and the ability to effectively respond to changing customer needs and preferences. Currently, there are no significant proprietary or other barriers of entry that could keep potential competitors from developing or acquiring similar offerings and providing competing services in the Company's market. The Company's ability to compete successfully in the luxury goods industry will depend in large part on its ability to execute acquisitions of established businesses that have a developed a core custom er base as a result of developing a sustainable competitive advantage in the market place in which they compete by offering market-differentiated services and products.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future, or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company.
Potential for indebtedness.
There is no assurance that the Company will not incur debt in the future, that it will have sufficient funds to repay its indebtedness or that the Company will not default on its debt, jeopardizing its business viability. Furthermore, the Company may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet the Company's needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct its business.
We anticipate that we may incur significant debt in the future, and we may be unable to meet the associated debt covenants over time.
We anticipate that we may incur significant indebtedness in the future in connection with our growth strategy. In the process of financing future acquisitions, we may incur debt which may include financial covenants which may limit the amount we can further borrow. If we fail to meet any financial covenants, our lenders could call their loans immediately. There can be no assurance we will continuously meet these covenants in the future. We anticipate that the assets of art galleries and cigar distributors which we may acquire in the future will be pledged directly or indirectly to secure our debt obligations.
Our future borrowings may involve substantial interest expense.
Our borrowings may result in interest expense that may restrict our ability to operate profitably and increase financial risk. Additionally, current interest rates are at historically low levels. If interest rates were to increase, our interest costs would also increase, adding further risk and uncertainty. We must make these interest payments regardless of our operating results.
The Company's success is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers and key employees.
The immediate loss of the services of any members of our senior management team, without a reasonable period of transition, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain any life insurance on these senior executives. Given the Company's early stage of development of the art galleries and cigar distribution centers, the Company is dependent on its ability to retain and motivate high quality personnel. Although the Company believes it will be able to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel for such purposes, an inability to do so could materially adversely affect the Company's ability to market, sell, and enhance its services. The loss of one or more of its employees or the Company's inability to hire and retain other qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Uninsured losses.
There is no assurance that the Company will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of its proposed business. The Company plans to maintain comprehensive liability and property insurance at customary levels. The Company will also evaluate the availability and cost of business interruption insurance when necessary. However, should uninsured losses occur, the shareholders could lose their invested capital.
The Company may have liabilities to affiliated or unaffiliated lenders.
These liabilities would represent fixed costs which would be required to be paid regardless of the level of profitability experienced by the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to pay all of its liabilities. Furthermore, the Company is always subject to the risk of litigation from customers, employees, suppliers or others because of the nature of its business. Litigation could cause the Company to incur substantial expenses and, if cases are lost, judgments and awards could add to the Company's costs.
Our director and officer may not be able to devote sufficient time.
Our directors and officers may not be able to devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may negatively affect our ability to conduct our ongoing operations and our ability to generate revenues. As a Director of Beleza Luxury Goods, Inc., the role of Mr. Smith is to ensure all private placement funding is conducted in accordance with all securities legislation; that all accounting functions in the parent and subsidiary are complete and accurate and prepared in a timely fashion; and, to ensure all Federal and State public filings are complete and accurate; and to ensure the day-to-day business operations are conducted efficiently and within budget.
Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control a majority of our common stock, investors will have little or no control over our management or other matters requiring shareholder approval.
Our officer and directors and their affiliates, in the aggregate, beneficially own the majority of our outstanding common shares. As a result, they have the ability to control matters affecting minority shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because our officer and directors control the company, investors will not be able to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being run. Because control by these insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.
Because we can issue additional common shares, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.
We are currently authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 common shares, of which 2,799,000 (799,000 of which form part of this registration statement) are issued and outstanding at the time of this prospectus. Our board of directors has the authority to cause our company to issue additional shares of common stock without the consent of any of our shareholders. Consequently, our shareholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our company in the future.
Risks Related to the Industry
Because we face risks that affect the art and cigar industries in general, these risks may have a material adverse effect on our business.
A variety of factors over which we have no control may affect the ownership and operation of our art consulting and galleries and cigar distribution business. These factors include adverse changes in national, regional, or local economic or market conditions; increased costs of labor; fuel, utility, and energy and other price increases; competitive factors; the number, density, and location of competitors; and changing demographics, traffic patterns, and spending priorities.
Third parties may file lawsuits against us based on discrimination, personal injury, claims for injuries or damages. We cannot predict any of these factors with any degree of certainty. Any one or more of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Employees may file claims or lawsuits against us based on discrimination or wrongful termination or based upon their rights created by the State laws wherein we do business. These claims or lawsuits could result in unfavorable publicity and could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Because we face rising insurance costs, we may incur uninsured losses that could result in the loss of part or all of a shareholder’s investment.
The cost of insurance workers compensation insurance, general liability insurance, health insurance, and directors and officers liability insurance) has risen significantly in the past few years and is expected to continue to increase in 2007 and 2008. We may be unable to make the improvements in our operations to mitigate the effects of increased frequency and higher costs. We may incur uninsured and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. Should uninsured losses occur, any purchasers of our common shares could lose their entire investment.
Because we face risks associated with government regulation, an investment in our company is high risk.
The art gallery and cigar distribution industries are subject to extensive licensing and regulation by State and local departments and bureaus of health, sanitation, and fire and to periodic review by the provincial and municipal authorities for areas in which the outlets are located. In addition, we are subject to local land use, zoning, building, planning, and traffic ordinances and regulations in the selection and acquisition of suitable sites for constructing new locations. Delays in obtaining, or denials of, or revocation or temporary suspension of, necessary licenses or approvals could have a material adverse impact on our development of outlets.
Various Federal and State, and local laws affect our business.
The development and operation of outlets depend to a significant extent on the selection and acquisition of suitable sites. These sites are subject to zoning, land use, environmental, traffic, and other regulations of state and local governmental agencies. City ordinances or other regulations, or the application of such ordinances or regulations, could impair our ability to construct or acquire outlets in desired locations and could result in costly delays.
The delay or failure to obtain or maintain any licenses or permits necessary for operations could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, an increase in the minimum wage rate, employee benefit costs, costs of installing fixtures or accommodations for handicapped individuals or other costs associated with employees could adversely affect our business. We also are subject laws and regulations that, among other things, may require us to install certain fixtures or accommodations in new outlets or to renovate existing outlets to meet federally mandated requirements.
At present, the Company does not anticipate that any potential restrictions or licensing requirements in its target markets will hinder its ability to operate successfully. However, no assurance can be made that in the future new restrictions, prohibitions or licensing requirements will not arise which would materially adversely effect the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition of the Company.
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
There is no active trading market for our common stock and if a market for our common stock does not develop, our investors will be unable to sell their shares.
There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. Therefore it may be difficult to sell the shares or if sold it may adversely affect the market price of such shares.
Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares in this offering.
We do not currently anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future. It is our current intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should, therefore, not purchase our common stock. We currently have limited revenues and a history of limited income, so there can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our shares, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, who currently do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future.
Our common shares are considered to be penny stock and subject to the SEC's penny stock regulations which adversely affect the liquidity of our common shares.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined in those regulations, of less than U.S. $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Generally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to deliver, prior to the transaction, a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market as well as disclosure concerning, among other things, the commissions payable, current quotations for the securities and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The administration requirements imposed by these rules may affect the liquidity of our common shares.
NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our securities will be subject to the low priced security or so-called "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rule requires: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) 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: (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) 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 evaluati ng 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 Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlighted form: (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) 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 stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the 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.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors" on pages 7 to 13, that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to the offering made in this prospectus.
Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference
Any member of the public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC
maintains an Internet website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
The Offering
This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus of up to a total of 799,000 shares of common stock which were issued pursuant to one private placement offering. On February 1, 2007, pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation “D” under the Securities Act, we issued a total of 799,000 common shares plus 799,000 warrants exercisable at $0.25 per share until December 31, 2010. The selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at $0.10 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or listed for trading or quotation on any other public market, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The only affiliate of our company owning shares is Marcus Smith, (our Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary), with currently 2,000,000 common shares held. Mr. Smith will not be selling these shares as part of this offering. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.
Use of Proceeds
The shares that form the part of the units offered hereby are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. All net proceeds from the sale of the common stock will go to the respective selling stockholders who offer and sell their shares. We will not receive any part of the proceeds from such sales of common stock. We will, however, incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.
Determination of Offering Price
The offering price of the 799,000 common shares being offered by the shareholders has been determined arbitrarily and has no relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Additionally, because we have a limited operating history and have only generated limited revenue to date, the price of the common shares is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of the common shares indicative of current market value for the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion.
We arbitrarily selected the offering price for the new shares and there is no relationship between the offering price of the shares and our assets, earnings, book value, net worth or other economic or recognized criteria and future value of our shares. Our offering price of $0.10 per new share was arbitrarily determined by us based solely upon an increase over the prices paid by earlier investors in our company. It is not based upon an independent assessment of the value of our shares and should not be considered as such.
The selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or listed for trading or quoted on any other public market, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The offering price of $0.10 per share has been determined arbitrarily and does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earning per share. Additionally, because we have no significant operating history and have not generated any material revenue to date, the price of the common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of the common stock indicative of the current market value of the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market.
Dilution
The issued and outstanding shares being registered have no impact on the number of shares issued and outstanding and no dilution will result from this offering. The common stock to be registered and sold by the selling stockholders is a total of 799,000 shares of common stock are currently issued and outstanding to 41 stockholders. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing stockholders in this case. However, 799,000 shares underlying the warrants were issued under a Rule 506 Share offering. The warrants, which may not be sold separately, are exercisable at $0.25 per share until December 31, 2010. Please refer to “Risks Associated With Our Common Stock” under Risk Factors on page 2 of this registration statement.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends since inception. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Although there are no restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, we intend to retain future earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business.
Selling Security Holders
The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the common stock issued. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only some portion of the total 799,000 shares of common stock to be registered, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering.
As of November 1, 2007 there were a total of 799,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The selling shareholders in this prospectus were a result of a private common stock offering (detailed in the table below), which closed February 1, 2007.

Plan of Distribution
The shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus are being registered to allow public secondary trading by the holders of these shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering of these shares by the selling stockholders.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock on any market upon which the common stock may be quoted, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Some of the selling stockholders may distribute their shares, from time to time, to their limited and/or general partners or members, who may sell their shares pursuant to this prospectus.

Each selling stockholder may also transfer shares owned by such selling stockholder by gift, and upon and such transfer, the donoree would have the same right of sale as the selling stockholder. Our common stock is not currently listed on any national exchange or electronic quotation system. Because there is currently no public market for our common stock, the selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or listed for tr ading or quoted on any other public market, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
Marcus B. Smith, the primary affiliate of our company, will not be selling his shares as part of this offering. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

- 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;
- a combination of any such methods of sale; and
- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
Once a market develops, we will file a post-effective amendment to revise the cover page and plan of distribution to reflect current market prices.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
A selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with the distributions of the shares or otherwise.
In such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholder, including positions assumed in connection with distributions of the shares by such broker-dealers. Some or all of the shares covered by this registration statement may be sold to cover short positions in the open market.

We have been advised by each of the selling stockholders that they have not, as of the date of this prospectus, entered into any arrangement with any agent, broker or dealer for the sale of the shares.
We may suspend the use of this prospectus and any supplements hereto in certain circumstances due to pending corporate developments, public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar events.
We may require the selling security holder to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.
All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined in those regulations, of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Generally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to deliver, prior to the transaction, a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market as well as disclosure concerning, among other things, the commissions payable, current quotations for the securities and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The administration requirements imposed by these rules may affect the liquidity of our common shares.
Our securities will be subject to the low priced security or so-called "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rule requires: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) 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: (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) 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 Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlighted form: (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) 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 stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the 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.
Marcus B. Smith is the underwriter in this offering, as that term is defined in section 2(a)(11) of Rule 144 the
Securities Act of 1933. Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

Description of Business
History and Background

The authorized capital of the Company as May 2006 consists of 100,000,000 Shares of $0.001 par value common Share. In addition, Mr. Marcus Smith was appointed to the office of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.
On March 22, 2006, the Company issued to Marcus Smith 2,000,000 Shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock for total proceeds equivalent to $200.00.

The Company accepted 100 common Shares of Amerioca Consultant, LLC Shares owned by Marcus Smith in lieu of the $100.00 payment.
On October 18, 2005 Pablo and Peter Calico Promotions, LLC, dba Pablo Calico Cigars was incorporated in the State of Texas. On March 22, 2006, Pablo Calico Cigars became a wholly owned subsidiary of Beleza Luxury Goods Inc.

Industry Overview
Fine Art
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in retailing original and limited edition artwork. Included in this industry are establishments that display works of art in galleries for retail sale and firms that auction works of art. A business in this industry may purchase art work from an artist or individual owner and sell that art work to consumers, generally with no further development or processing of the product. The primary activities of companies in this industry are: art auctions, art dealers, and art galleries retailing art.
Total revenue generated by the Art Dealers Industry increased by an annual average of 2.6% between 1999 and 2004. Expansion occurred despite anemic real GDP growth in 2001 and 2002 that negatively affected demand for luxury goods and intense competitive pressures experienced by small-scale dealers. Industry growth was driven largely by sales in the fine art market.
Taught some harsh lessons by the recession of 1990-1993, Christie's and Sotheby's (which together account for 80% of fine art sales globally) limited the supply of art work to the market as consumer demand slowed in 2001. As such, in 2000 some 16,000 fine art sales were catalogued worldwide; fewer than 10,000 were recorded in 2004. By rigorously selecting only the highest quality items, for which demand is relatively price inelastic, fine art prices have soared beyond the levels recorded in 1990 - the peak of the last fine art work cycle.
However, at the retail level, which accounts for 75% of Art Dealers Industry revenue, restricting supply is less easy given the large number of establishments and because artistic creation rejects market principles (i.e. new art work continues to be supplied). Dealers acquired art work rebuffed at auction, and retail prices fell dramatically because consumers were purchasing less. Moreover, restricting supply encouraged new channels of distribution. Internet auction facilities allowed art work owners and artists to bypass dealers and low market prices prompted the development of artist co-operatives that used shared gallery space.
Revenue growth in the Art Dealers Industry was healthy in 2005. Expansion was buoyed by strong consumer demand, the weak US dollar (which helped the US art market significantly out-perform European auction prices) and the continued control of supply that yielded a number of huge individual sales. Importantly, small-scale dealers began to exploit Internet cataloguing, thereby reducing operating costs and accessing overseas buyers.
Cigars
Numerous premium cigar manufacturers, such as Arturo Fuente, are small or medium sized, third-world companies that are family owned and operated. Some of the familiar names associated with mass produced cigars, as well as some of the premium brands, have merged or been acquired by worldwide conglomerates. For example,
Consolidated Cigar was acquired by Altadis, which is now the largest cigar company in the world. Altadis makes many popular brands such as Montecristo, Don Diego and Romeo y Julieta. Similary, General Cigar was acquired by the second largest cigar company, Swedish Match, maker of many familiar brands, including Macanudo, Punch, Partagas, and Cohiba. Although Altadis is the largest company in terms of total cigars, Swedish Match is the U.S. market leader for premium cigars, with Macanudo being the top selling premium brand.
The cigar business crested in 1964, when Americans were smoking 9 billion annually. By 1992, government health warnings had caused the industry to fall some 77 percent, to 2.1 billion cigars yearly. Things changed in 1994 when there was a 14.6 percent jump in sales, followed by a 31 percent rise in 1995. In 1996, sales of premium, hand-rolled cigars jumped 67 percent. In 1997, they leapt another 30 percent. The Cigar Association of America didn't compile figures for 1998. At the height of the boom in 1997, imports to the U.S. peaked at 417.8 million cigars, nearly five times more than in 1993, according to the Cigar Association of America. After dropping to 248 million in 1999, the numbers started another upward turn. In 2005, imports had climbed to 319.4 million cigars, with another slight bump expected this year.
Fine, hand-rolled cigars are readily available in the $3-to-$7 range, and “super premiums” and limited edition cigars can run $15 and up. Retailers say the average smoker of premium cigars lights up one to three a week.
The wholesale distribution of tobacco and tobacco products in 2001 was a relatively small but profitable industry, employing about 57,261 workers and bringing in about $50.3 billion in sales. 374 companies in this classification were small—employing fewer than five persons. 212 had between five and nine employees; 193 had between 10 and 19 employees; 270 had 20 to 99 employees; 69 had 100 to 499 employees; and about 35 establishments with 500 or more employees. In 2004, total annual sales dropped to $27.7 billion. The total number of employees decreased to 28,898. The average sales per establishment were about $20 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison
between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan a nd to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
- A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
- The date that adoption is required
- The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are identified and described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We continually evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimation procedures. Estimates are often based on historical experience and on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, but which could change in the future.
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when the delivery is completed, the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from consulting service is
recognized when commissions are earned form selling artwork for artists under broker contract arrangements. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied to be recorded as unearned revenue. The Company determines title transfer based upon delivery date. For the customers with FOB shipping term, the Company recognizes sales and determines title transferred when delivery of items takes place. For the customers on CNF (cost and freight), the Company recognizes sales and determines title has passed when goods arrive in the port of destination.
Income taxes. The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

1. | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Beleza Luxury Goods, Inc. was incorporated on February 14, 2006 in the state of Nevada and is a holding company whose principal activity is the ownership of its wholly-owned subsidiaries Amerioca Consultant, LLC and Pablo and Peter Calico Promotions, LLC (collectively referred to as the “Company”). Amerioca Consultant, LLC, doing business as (“dba”) Marcus B. Smith Galleries, was incorporated on July 19, 2004 in the state of Georgia and operates as a fine art gallery and also offers art collection consulting services. Pablo and Peter Calico Promotions LLC, (“dba”) Pablo Calico Cigars, was incorporated on October 18, 2005 in the state of Texas and imports, distributes, wholesales and retails hand made cigars imported from Brazil. The Company’s operations are based in Houston, Texas.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation
On March 22, 2006, Beleza Luxury Goods, Inc. exchanged 2,000,000 shares of common stock for all the outstanding shares of Pablo & Peter Calico Promotions, LLC and Amerioca Consultant, LLC (collectively referred to as “subsidiaries”). Because the ownership of the Company and the subsidiaries are the same, this combination was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, using the subsidiaries’ historical book values. Consolidated operations reflect the subsidiaries’ operations for all periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Beleza Luxury Goods, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pablo & Peter Calico Promotions, LLC and Amerioca Consultant, LLC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts receivable and other receivable
Accounts receivable and other receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Terms of the sales vary from COD through a credit term up to 10 days and 30 days. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Allowance for doubtful debts is zero as of June 30, 2007.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to the market value, if lower. There were no inventories as of June 30, 2007.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of 5 years for office equipment. As of June 30, 2007, the following were the details of the equipment:
Equipment | $ | 974 |
Less: Accumulated depreciation | | (89) |
| | |
|
| $ | 885 |
Depreciation expense amounted to $53 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when the delivery is completed, the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from consulting service is recognized when commissions are earned form selling artwork for artists under broker contract arrangements. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied to be recorded as unearned revenue.
The Company determines title transfer based upon delivery date. For the customers with FOB shipping term, the Company recognizes sales and determines title transferred when delivery of items takes place. For the customers on CNF (cost and freight), the Company recognizes sales and determines title has passed when goods arrive in the port of destination.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. There are no advertising costs incurred for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Stock-based compensation
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123 requires compensation expense to be recorded (i) using the new fair value method or (ii) using the existing accounting rules prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for stock issued to employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations with pro forma disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the Company adopted the new fair value method. The Company uses the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25 and has opted for the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.123. The Company did not issue any option during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Income taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Basic and diluted net income per share
Net income per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Recent pronouncement
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
- A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
- The date that adoption is required
- The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
Due from shareholder amounted to $35,720 as of June 30, 2007. The amount is due from the shareholder and is due on demand, unsecured, and interest free.
4. | SHIPPING AND HANDLING EXPENSES |
The company has included $1,788 and $0 freight out shipping and handling expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
On March 22, 2006, the Beleza Luxury Goods Inc. issued to Marcus Smith 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par value common stock for total proceeds equivalent to $200. The Company accepted Pablo and Peter Calico Promotions 100 common shares owned by Marcus Smith in lieu of the $100 payment. The Company accepted 100 common shares of Amerioca Consultant, LLC Units owned by Marcus Smith in lieu of the $100 payment.
On October 18, 2005 Pablo and Peter Calico Promotions, LLC, dba Pablo Calico Cigars was incorporated in the State of Texas. On March 22, 2006, Pablo Calico Cigars became a wholly owned subsidiary of Beleza Luxury Goods Inc. This acquisition was executed by exchanging all (100%) of the issued and outstanding common shares of Pablo and Peter Calico Promotions, LLC owned by the sole shareholder, Marcus Smith, for 1,000,000 common shares issued by Beleza Luxury Goods, Inc.
Amerioca Consultant, LLC dba Marcus B. Smith Galleries, was incorporated on July 19, 2004, under the laws of the state of Georgia. On March 22, 2006, Marcus B. Smith Galleries became a wholly owned subsidiary of Beleza Luxury Goods Inc. This acquisition was executed by exchanging all (100%) of the issued and outstanding common shares of Amerioca Consultant, LLC owned by the sole shareholder, Marcus Smith, for 1,000,000 common shares issued by Beleza Luxury Goods, Inc.
Pursuant to a private placement conducted in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company issued 2,799,000 shares of common stock at $.05 per share, of which 2,000,000 shares were issued to Marcus Smith, the major shareholder of the Company in exchange for the shares already held.

Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Basic and diluted net income per share
Net income per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Recent pronouncement
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
- A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
- The date that adoption is required
- The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

Each person purchasing our shares of common stock who we reasonably believed was not an accredited investor (as that term is defined by the provisions of Rule 501(a)), received from us that information specified by the provisions of Rule 502(b). Additionally, we reasonably believe that each such person either alone or with his or her purchaser representative (as that term is defined by the provisions of Rule 501(h)), has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he or she was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a purchase of our common shares. For the offering, we discussed with each purchaser in, what we believe to be, reasonable detail the various aspects, including the risks, relating to a purchase of our common stock.

Item 28 UNDERTAKINGS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned Registration hereby undertakes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred to that section.
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 its Articles of Incorporation or provisions of the Nevada Business Corporations Act, 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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by 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, we will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question, whether or not such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
We hereby undertake to:
| a) | Rule 415 Offering. If the small business issuer is registering securities under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, that the small business issuer will: |
| | | | |
| | 1) | File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
| | | | |
| | i) | Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| | | | |
| | ii) | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and Notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation From the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. |
| | | | |
| | iii) | Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
| | | | |
| 2) | For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
| | | | |
| 3) | File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
| | | | |
| 4) | For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| | | | |
| | i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| | | | |
| | ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer; |
| | | | |
| | iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and |
| | | | |
| | iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser. |
| | | | |
| b) | Warrants and rights offerings. If the small business issuer will offer the securities to existing security holders under warrants or rights and the small business issuer will reoffer to the public any securities not taken by security holders, with any modifications that suit the particular case -- The small business issuer will supplement the prospectus, after the end of the subscription period, to include the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities that the underwriters will purchase and the terms of any later reoffering. If the underwriters make any public offering of the securities on terms different from those on the cover page of the prospectus, the small business issuer will file a post-effective amendment to state the terms of such offering. |
| | | | |
| c) | Competitive bids. If the small business issuer is offering securities at competitive bidding, with modifications to suit the particular case, the small business issuer will: |
| | | | |
| 1) | rospective bidders, underwriters, and dealers, a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus that meet the requirements of section 10(a) of the Securities Act, and relating to the securities offered at competitive bidding, as contained in the registration statement, together with any supplements; and: |
| | | | |
| 2) | file an amendment to the registration statement reflecting the result of bidding, the terms of the reoffering and related matters where required by the applicable form, not later than the first use, authorized by the issuer after the opening of bids, of a prospectus relating to the securities offered at competitive bidding, unless the issuer proposes no further public offering of such securities by the issuer or by the purchasers. |
| | | | |
| d) | Equity offerings of nonreporting small business issuers. If a small business issuer that before the offering had no duty to file reports with the Commission under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act is registering equity securities for sale in an underwritten offering -- The small business issuer will provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. |
| | | | |
| e) | Request for acceleration of effective date. If the small business issuer will request acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement under Rule 461 under the Securities Act, include the following: |
| | | | |
| | i) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer 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. |
| | | | |
| | ii) | In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business issuer 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
| f) | If the issuer relies on Rule 430A under the Securities Act, that the small business issuer will: |
| | | | |
| 1) | For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective. |
| | | | |
| 2) | For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. |
| | | | |
| g) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
| | | | |
| 1) | If the small business issuer is relying on Rule 430B: |
| | | | |
| | i) | Each prospectus filed by the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
| | | | |
| | ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, howeve r, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or |
| | | | |
| 2) | If the small business issuer is subject to Rule 430C, include the following:
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
