NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008 AND
THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 22, 2004 (Date of Inception) TO MARCH 31, 2009
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION:
BSV IV, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) (the Company) was incorporated on September 22, 2004, in the State of Colorado, for the purpose of conducting a public distribution of securities (the Proposed Distribution) and then effecting a merger, acquisition or other business combination transaction (Business Combination) with an unidentified privately-held company (a Target). The Company's business strategy is also referred to as a "blind pool" because neither the management of the Company nor the persons who acquire securities in the Proposed Distribution know what the business of the Company will ultimately be. The Company is in the development stage and has had no significant business activity to date. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31, however upon merger the Company intends to adopt the fiscal period of the target.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN:
The Company has been in the development stage since its inception in 2004 to present and has incurred losses from its inception through March 31, 2009 amounting to $26,661. The Company's ability to meet its future obligations is dependent upon its ability to complete its SEC registration, raise capital and close on a potential business combination as discussed in Note 1. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing merger and business combinations and believes that the necessary capital and the future acquisition of business will take place and will provide for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) seeking out and completing a merger with an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraphs and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Accounting:
The Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes as prescribed by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes". This method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of certain assets and liabilities.
Earnings Per Common Share:
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. Net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
On September 22, 2004, the Company issued two million four hundred eighty five thousand three hundred thirty eight (2,485,338) shares of its Class A common stock and one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) shares of its Class B common stock at inception. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act.
The Company's Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued Common Stock without stockholder approval. The Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of common stock. However, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a business combination. Since the Company expects to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with a business combination, the ultimate ownership of the gift share donees is likely to be less than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. It is impossible to predict whether a business combination will ultimately result in dilution to donees. If the target has a relatively weak balance sheet, a business combination may result in significant dilution. If a target has a relatively strong balance sheet, there may be no dilution.
The Company authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Currently, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Additional paid-in-capital represents professional fees incurred by the Company which have been paid by a related entity (See note 6).
NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER SHARE:
The Company accounts for earnings per share under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share", which requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). The computation of Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
The shares used in the computation are as follows:
| | March 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Basic and Diluted EPS | | | 2,635,338 | | | | 2,635,338 | |
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTIES:
The Company’s management (and original incorporators), through a common owned entity, have paid all expenses incurred by the Company, which includes professional fees and basic state and local fees and taxes. The related entity has committed to taking responsibility for all liabilities incurred by the Company through the date completion of a business transaction as described in Note 1. Therefore, the Company reflects all expenses paid on their behalf in their financial statements and records as additional paid-in-capital.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES:
As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had deferred tax assets recognized of approximately $11,000 and $5,000 respectively, with equal corresponding valuation allowances. The deferred tax asset is a result of a net operating loss carryforward.
NOTE 8 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Prior to FAS 157, there were different definitions of fair value and limited guidance for applying those definitions in GAAP. Moreover, that guidance was dispersed among the many accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements. Differences in that guidance created inconsistencies that added to the complexity in applying GAAP. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of FAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to have an effect on its financial statements.
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations," which replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which, among other things, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed (including intangibles) and any noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating what impact the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the financial statements.
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company has not yet adopted the simplified method for "plain vanilla" share options and warrants, but does not expect it to have a material impact on o the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement”, an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AIPCA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts”, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and APB opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2010. It is not believed that, based on the Company’s current corporate structure, FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1 will have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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 statements.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “continue” or “could” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the SEC or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports to the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this Report.
Plan of Operation
BSV IV, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 22, 2004, in the State of Colorado for the purpose of conducting a public distribution of securities (the Proposed Distribution) and then effecting a merger, acquisition or other business combination transaction (Business Combination) with an unidentified privately-held company (a Target). We currently have no definitive agreements or understanding with any prospective business combination candidates and have not targeted any business for investigation and evaluation nor are there any assurances that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of securities in the Company.
On February 1, 2008, the Company voluntarily filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB therein registering the Company’s Class A Voting Common Stock, no par value, and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, no par value, under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Form 10-SB went effective by operation of law on April 1, 2008 (60 days after the filing date) and since such date, the Company has been a reporting company and required to file periodic and current reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act.
The Company's business strategy is also referred to as a "blind pool" because neither the management of the Company nor the persons who acquire securities in the Proposed Distribution know what the business of the Company will ultimately be. The Company is in the development stage and has had no significant business activity to date. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31, however upon merger the Company intends to adopt the fiscal period of the Target.
The Company has not realized any revenues from operations since inception, and its plan of operation for the next twelve months is to locate a suitable acquisition or merger candidate and consummate a business combination. The Company may need additional cash advances from its stockholders or loans from other parties to pay for operating expenses until the Company consummates a merger or business combination with a privately-held operating company. Although it is currently anticipated that the Company can satisfy its cash requirements with additional cash advances or loans from other parties, if needed, for at least the next twelve months, the Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for such period.
Management anticipates seeking out a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more Internet websites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who will be contacted or solicited. Management may engage in such solicitation directly or may employ one or more other entities to conduct or assist in such solicitation. Management and its affiliates will pay referral fees to consultants and others who refer target businesses for mergers into public companies in which management and its affiliates have an interest. Payments are made if a business combination occurs, and may consist of cash or a portion of the stock in the Company retained by management and its affiliates, or both.
The Company and/or its shareholders will supervise the search for target companies as potential candidates for a business combination. The Company and/or its shareholders may pay as their own expenses any costs incurred in supervising the search for a target company. The Company and/or its shareholders may enter into agreements with other consultants to assist in locating a target company and may share stock received by it or cash resulting from the sale of its securities with such other consultants.
As a result of our limited resources, we expect to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable.
Our officers and directors are only required to devote a very limited portion of their time to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. We expect to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary, none of which will be hired on a retainer basis. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities.
We expect our present management to play no or minimal managerial role in the Company following a merger or business combination. Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective target business in connection with our evaluation of a business combination with a target business, our assessment of management may be incorrect. We cannot assure you that we will find a suitable business with which to combine.
GOING CONCERN
The Company has been in the development stage since its inception in September 2004 to the present. The Company has no assets and has incurred losses from its inception through March 31, 2009 amounting to $26,661. The Company's ability to meet its future obligations is dependent upon its ability to complete its SEC registration, raise capital and close on a potential business combination as discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing merger and business combinations and believes that the necessary capital and the future acquisition of business will take place and will provide for the Company to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) seeking out and completing a merger with an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraphs and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate a suitable acquisition or merger transaction. No revenue has been generated by the Company during such period, and it is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition of or merger with another operating company, of which there can be no assurance.
Assets
At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no cash and no other assets.
Liabilities
The Company’s total current liabilities at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $9,873 and $6,107, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in liabilities was due to an increase in legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the Company’s filing a Form 10-SB with the SEC on February 1, 2008 and which went effective on April 1, 2008.
Stockholders’ Deficit
At March 31, 2009, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $9,873 compared to $6,107 at December 31, 2008. The increase was due to increased liabilities.
Revenues
To date, the Company has not generated any revenues.
Net Loss
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a net loss of $5,162 and $12,989, respectively. From the Company’s date of inception (September 22, 2004) to March 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $26,661.
Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had expenses of $5,162, compared to $12,989. The decrease was due to the Company’s delayed preparation and filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009. For the period from the Company’s inception on September 22, 2004 to March 31, 2009, the Company’s expenses were $26,661. These expenses consist of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-SB on February 1, 2008 and subsequently filed annual and periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2009, the Company had no cash and no other assets. The Company’s current liabilities at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $9,873 and $6,107, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in liabilities was due to an increase in legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As explained in earlier in this Item 2, the Company is a “shell company” and is currently seeking a merger/acquisition candidate with sustainable operations. To date, the Company has not identified a suitable merger/acquisition candidate. The Company does not currently have the capital resources to meet its operating expenses for the next twelve months. The Company will need additional cash advances from its stockholder or loans from other parties to pay for operating expenses until the Company consummates a merger or business combination with a privately-held operating company.
The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities:

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out by the Registrant’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2009. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, the Registrant’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Controls.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On September 22, 2004, the day of its incorporation, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,485,338, shares of Class A Common Stock and 150,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Messrs. Dyer, Eversull, and Brennan, Lane Capital Markets and Ms. Elizabeth Davis in consideration for services rendered. The Company issued these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in light of the fact that the offering did not constitute a public offering.
No other securities have been issued for services. Neither the Registrant nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. No services were performed by any purchaser as consideration for the shares issued.
The Company's Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued Common Stock without stockholder approval. The Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of common stock. However, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a business combination. Since the Company expects to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with a business combination, the ultimate ownership of the gift share donees is likely to be less than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. It is impossible to predict whether a business combination will ultimately result in dilution to donees. If the target has a relatively weak balance sheet, a business combination may result in significant dilution. If a target has a relatively strong balance sheet, there may be no dilution.
It should be noted that any shares held by affiliates or promoters of the Registrant may not be sold by such affiliates or promoters, or their transferees, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This is true for any such sale either before or after a business combination with an operating company or other person, regardless of technical compliance with the rule. The position of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC is that any such resale transaction under Rule 144 would appear to be designed to distribute or redistribute such shares to the public without coming within the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Therefore, these affiliates or promoters, or their transferees, can only resell the shares they hold as of the date hereof through a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements.
