THE TRANSACTIONS
On October 5, 2011, the Company and Halter Energy Capital Corporation (“Halter”) executed a Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Sale shall be effected and Halter will be entitled to receive a total of 44,500,000 post-reverse split shares of Common Stock in exchange for $500,000, and warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares for $0.20 per share within two years. Also on October 5, 2011, the Company and Juan Carlos Espinosa, the existing controlling stockholder, entered into a Redemption Agreement pursuant to which the Company will redeem 24,753,333 post-reverse split shares of common stock for $1,000 (the “Redemption”).
As a result of the Sale and Redemption, Halter will own approximately 78.8% of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company (85.4% if all warrants are exercised.)
Upon the completion of the Sale, which will occur at least ten days after the mailing of this Information Statement, the Company’s existing director, Juan Carlos Espinosa will resign as director and appoint Kevin B. Halter, Jr. as new director of the Company.
All current officers of the Company will resign upon completion of the Exchange, and the new Board will appoint new officers of the Company. In connection with the change of control, new management has signified its intention to cause the Company to explore the acquisition of one or more additional businesses and end the Company’s status as a “shell corporation.”
GENERAL
Since 2009, the Company has been a smaller reporting company, and also a shell corporation with no business or material assets. In September 2011, the directors determined that it should seek a relationship with an operating company that can provide business and possibly profits to benefit the Company’s stockholders. In September 2011, following a period of negotiations, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Halter.

STC was fined $10,000, and Kevin Halter, Jr. was suspended for three months from associating in a supervisory capacity with a transfer agent, broker-dealer or investment advisor.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company does not maintain an audit committee, compensation committee, or nominating committee, and the Board performs these functions. Because the Company has had only one director who owned over a majority of the voting securities of the Company, the Board has determined that it is not necessary to have a standing nominating committee or procedures for submitting shareholder nominations. The Board has not established an audit or compensation committee for similar reasons. Immediately following completion of the Transactions, it is anticipated that this structure will remain in place. Eventually, the Board will review the advisability of establishing audit, compensation and nominating committees composed primarily of independent directors to perform the functions normally performed by such groups.
During the year 2010, the Board of Directors held no meetings and took no corporate actions by unanimous written consent.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive Compensation
The Company has not paid any compensation or issued any stock awards or other benefits to any of its officers or directors during the past five years.
No stock has been issued to any officer, employee or director of the company except in their capacity as investors. Although we have no current plan in existence, we may adopt a plan to pay or accrue cash compensation to our officers and directors for services rendered. We currently do not have a stock incentive plan for the benefit of officers, directors or employees, but our Board of Directors may recommend the adoption of such programs in the future.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. These insiders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file, including Forms 3, 4 and 5. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required during the calendar year ended December 31, 2010, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its insiders were complied with.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has issued and outstanding 214,520,000 shares of Common Stock. There is no other class of voting security of the Company issued or outstanding. The following table sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned as of September 30, 2011, by (i) each director, (ii) each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table and (iii) each person known to own beneficially more than 5% of our stock and (iv) all directors, named executive officers and other executive officers as a group. We calculated beneficial ownership according to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act as of that date. Beneficial ownership generally includes voting and investment power with respect to securities. Unless otherwise indicated below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned.
