QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
Q. HOW WILL THE MERGER BE EFFECTED?
A. HALL TEES will merge into Studio 82 Imports and Studio 82 Imports will be the surviving company of the Merger and as a result of the Merger, HALL TEES will no longer exist. The Merger Agreement is attached to this Notice asAnnex C.
Q. WHAT WILL THE NAME OF THE COMPANY BE AFTER THE MERGER?
A. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Studio 82 Imports will not change its name.
Q. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND CONTRACTS OF HALL TEES IN THE MERGER?
A: All of the assets, liabilities and contracts of HALL TEES will, through the Merger with Studio 82 Imports, become the assets, liabilities and contracts of Studio 82 Imports.
Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY SHARES OF HALL TEES?
A: As a result of the Merger, all your shares will be automatically converted into shares of Studio 82 Imports on a one for one basis. For example, if you currently own 27,000 shares of Common Stock of HALL TEES, after the Merger you will own 27,000 shares of Ordinary Shares of Studio 82 Imports. After the Merger, you will no longer own any shares of HALL TEES. As a result of the Merger, all of the stockholders of HALL TEES will become shareholders of Studio 82 Imports and HALL TEES will no longer exist.
Q: ARE PREFERRED SHARES ALSO BEING REGISTERED?
A. No. There is no need to register the Preferred Stock since none are issued and outstanding.
Q. WILL THE MERGER RESULT IN A CHANGE OF STOCKHOLDER CONTROL?
A. No, the Merger will not, on its own, result in a change of control. There are currently, 7,755,400 shares of HALL TEES’ Common Stock issued to our stockholders. After giving effect to the Merger, there will be 7,755,400 shares of Studio 82 Imports’s Common Stock outstanding. No person, except for the stockholders of HALL TEES, will be issued shares of Studio 82 Imports as part of the Merger.
Q. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO THE COMPANY OF COMPLETING THIS REORGANIZATION?
A. As a company domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction, we believe we would have greater access to capital and opportunities to find a company to acquire.
In making the election to redomicile while we have accumulated deficits, we believe we can avoid a taxable transaction for our shareholders.
Q. WHAT EFFECT WILL THE MERGER HAVE ON MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY?
A. In connection with the Merger, the current management of HALL TEES will become the management of Studio 82 Imports.
Q. WHAT EFFECT WILL THIS CHANGE HAVE ON ME AS A STOCKHOLDER?
A. Your rights as a shareholder of the newly merged company will be governed by the laws of the BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS and Studio 82 Imports’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association in the form attached asAnnexes A andB to this Information Statement/Prospectus, as opposed to the laws of the Nevada and our existing Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. See Comparison of Rights of Stockholders for a more detailed description of the differences between Nevada law and the laws of the BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS.
Q. WHAT ARE THE TAX ADVANTAGES TO HALL TEES STOCKHOLDERS OF CHANGING HALL TEES’S PLACE OF INCORPORATION?
A. HALL TEES believes that, undercurrent United States federal income tax rules, the Merger will be treated as a tax-free reorganization with respect to the HALL TEES stockholders. Therefore, you should not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of your HALL TEES shares for Studio 82 Imports shares. HALL TEES believes the Merger will be a taxable transaction with respect to HALL TEES. WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING YOUR PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION. See United States Income Tax Consequences for a more detailed summary of the United States federal income tax consequences of the Merger.
Q. WILL THE SHARES BEING ISSUED BY INFORMATION STATEMENT/ PROSPECTUS BE LISTED ON THE OTCBB MARKET?
A. Yes. After the applicable merger documents have been filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and the Articles of Merger have been filed with the Registrar of Companies in the BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, Studio 82 Imports will apply for a new CUSIP Number and send a notice of the Merger to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). FINRA will reflect the change on its records and issue Studio 82 Imports a new trading symbol.
Q. ARE THERE DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS?
A. Yes. If you were not asked to consent to the Merger, you are entitled to receive the “fair market value” of your shares. Please review the section of this Notice entitled Dissenter’s Rights under Nevada law for a more detailed description of how to exercise you dissenters’ rights. See Dissenters’ Rights for a more detailed explanation of your dissenter’s rights.

ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
This Information Statement/Prospectus is part of a registration statement we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should read this Information Statement/Prospectus with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.” We are proposing a change of our domicile or place of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the British Virgin Islands, a change in the name of our company to Studio 82 Imports, Inc. In transactions in which a U.S. corporation changes its domicile from one U.S. state to another U.S. state, through a merger, no registration of the shares to be issued in the Merger is required under Rule 145 as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, we are proposing that our domicile be changed to the British Virgin Islands and therefore, registration of the shares of Studio 82 Imports, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, which will be issued in connection with the Merger, must be registered.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Information Statement/Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. The sections captioned “Risk Factors” as well as any cautionary language in this Information Statement / Prospectus, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.
SUMMARY
THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SELECTED INFORMATION FROM THIS DOCUMENT AND MAY NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. FOR A MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING AND DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT, THE OTHER AVAILABLE INFORMATION REFERRED TO IN “WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION” AND THE DOCUMENTS ATTACHED TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS.
Overview
The Merger, as approved by our Board of Directors and the Consenting Stockholders, will result in the change of HALL TEES’s domicile from the State of Nevada to the British Virgin Islands, and a change in the name of our Company to Studio 82 Imports, Inc.
Parties to the Merger
HALL TEES, INC.
7405 Armstrong
Rowlett, Texas 75088
STUDIO 82 IMPORTS, INC.
3028 County Road 249
Terrell, Texas 75160
The proxy rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, require that this Joint Information Statements/Prospectus present information regarding the operations and financial condition of both parties to the Merger. However, because Hall Tees is a holding company and Studio 82 Imports is a corporation with no operations, we have not included a separate discussion of the operations or financial results of Studio 82 Imports, as management has determined that it would be unduly confusing.
Terms of the Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement is attached to this Information Statement asAnnex C. You should read the Merger Agreement in its entirety. It is the legal document that governs the Merger. The Merger Agreement provides that HALL TEES will be merged with and into Studio 82 Imports, with Studio 82 Imports being the surviving corporation. As a HALL TEES stockholder, each share of your Common Stock will automatically be converted into the same number of ordinary shares of Studio 82 Imports. You will be sent written instructions for surrendering your certificates after we have completed the Merger.
PROPOSALS OUTLINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT / PORSPECTUS
1. REDOMICILING THE COMPANY FROM NEVADA TO THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
We are effecting a merger with Studio 82 Imports, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation in order to change our domicile to the British Virgin Islands. When we do this we will change from being governed by the laws of the State of Nevada to being governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
The change in domicile will result in significant differences because of governing law, our new charter and bylaws. The material differences are discussed below:
Amendment of Governing Documents without Shareholder Approval.
Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and under the Memorandum of Association of Studio 82 Imports, the Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association of Studio 82 Imports may (except in certain limited cases) be amended by resolution of the Board of Directors without shareholder approval. Such amendments may include, but are not limited to, amendments to change the maximum number of shares we are authorized to issue, including authorizing the allocation of certain rights to the Company’s preferred shares, and amendments to change our name. Under Nevada law, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation require stockholder approval.
The reason the governing documents can be amended without having a shareholder approval and with having a resolution of the board of directors is because that is what British Virgin Islands Law allows.
The effect on you as a shareholder that the governing documents of the British Virgin Islands company can be amended without shareholder approval, is that you may not have a vote if the governing documents are changed, and your reliance will be upon the board of directors of the company.
Shares.
Studio 82 Imports is currently authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares each with a par value of US$0.001 divided into 40,000,000 ordinary shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares. The Company may by board resolution increase or reduce the maximum number of shares the Company is authorized to issue.
The Company mayby resolution of its Directors:
a) divide its shares including its issued shares, into a larger number of shares; or
b) combine its shares, including issued shares, into a smaller number of shares
The Company may:
b) by resolution of its Directors and with the consent of the shareholder whose shares are being acquired, purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares and fractions of a share) for such consideration as the directors seem fit, provided that immediately after the acquisition the value of its assets exceeds its liabilities and the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due; and
c) make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares otherwise than out of profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.
2. CHANGING THE NAME OF THE COMPANY FROM HALL TEES, INC. TO STUDIO 82 IMPORTS, INC.
In connection with the filing of the Articles of Merger and the Merger Agreement, we will be changing our name to Studio 82 Imports, Inc.
The reason we are changing our name is so we do not incur additional costs to effect a name change of the company in the BVI after the merger.
The only effect the name change will have on your shareholdings will be that your stock will trade under a different name and ticker symbol.
Comparison of Corporate Law
The corporate governing documents of Studio 82 Imports and the corporate laws of the British Virgin Islands are similar to, but not identical with the corporate governing documents of HALL TEES and the corporate laws of Nevada. A more detailed description of the comparison of corporate governing documents and corporate laws is set forth later in this Information Statement/Prospectus.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
HALL TEES believes that, under current United States federal income tax rules, the Merger will be treated as a tax-free reorganization with respect to the HALL TEES stockholders. However, the Merger will be a taxable transaction with respect to HALL TEES, under which HALL TEES will recognize taxable gain to the extent the fair market value of its assets exceeds the assets’ adjusted carrying cost (i.e., “tax basis”), as calculated for United States tax purposes. However, it should be noted that several members of the United States Congress have introduced legislation that, if enacted, may change the tax consequences of the Merger. Differing versions of the proposed legislation have been passed at different times by both houses of Congress. It is possible that a final bill may at any time be adopted as law. See “Tax Consequences” for more detail on the federal income tax consequences. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER THAT ARE PARTICULAR TO YOU.
Governmental Filings
HALL TEES and Studio 82 Imports are required to file Articles of Merger with the State of Nevada, Division of Corporations and the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands in connection with the Merger.
Dissenter’s Rights
Stockholders are entitled to demand appraisal of their shares in the case of mergers or consolidations, except where: (i) they are stockholders of the surviving corporation and the merger did not require their approval under Nevada law; (ii) the corporation’s shares are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; or (iii) the corporation’s shares are held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders. You have Dissenter’s Rights because our shares are quoted on the OTCBB Market which, by definition, is not a national market system and our stock is held by fewer than 2,000 stockholders of record.
ITEM 3 - RISK FACTORS
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. IF ANY OF THE RISKS DISCUSSED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Amendments to Governing Documents.
Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and under the Memorandum of Association of Studio 82 Imports, the Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association of Studio 82 Imports may (except in certain limited circumstances) be amended by resolution of the Board of Directors without shareholder approval. Such amendments may include, but are not limited to, amendments to the maximum number of shares we are authorized to issue including authorizing the rights to be allocated to the preferred shares and amendments to change our name. Under Nevada law, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation require stockholder approval.
After the Merger, your rights as a shareholder will be governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
By changing our place of incorporation, HALL TEES will experience changes in governing corporate law and our governing documents. As a result of the Merger, HALL TEES will be incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and will no longer be incorporated in the State of Nevada. On the date we change our place of incorporation we will be subject to the laws of the British Virgin Islands. These changes are highlighted under the section “Comparison of Rights of Stockholders”.
If you are a U.S. shareholder, you could be taxed as a result of the reorganization merger if the IRS successfully challenges the tax-free treatment of the reorganization merger
Apart from any changes in U.S. tax laws like those described above, the IRS or other taxing authority could disagree with our assessment of the effects or interpretation of existing laws and regulations, or with certain factual determinations upon which the contemplated tax treatment of the reorganization merger depends. If the IRS were to challenge successfully the tax treatment of the reorganization merger, this could result in U.S. shareholders being taxed on their receipt of Studio 82 Imports shares in exchange for their HALL TEES common stock pursuant to the Merger. The tax would be imposed on the excess, if any, of the trading price of the Studio 82 Imports Shares received by U.S. shareholder in exchange for HALL TEES common stock in the reorganization merger over the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of HALL TEES common stock exchanged therefore. Generally, any such gain would be capital gain.
The enforcement of judgments in shareholder suits against Studio 82 Imports may be more difficult.
Studio 82 Imports is a British Virgin Islands company. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States or to enforce judgments obtained against Studio 82 Imports in United States courts. However, Studio 82 Imports will irrevocably agree that it may be served with process with respect to actions based on offers and sales of securities made in the United States by having HALL TEES’s office be its United States agent appointed for that purpose.
Studio 82 Imports has been advised by its British Virgin Islands counsel, Forbes Hare, that a judgment for the payment of money rendered by a court in the United States based on civil liability would not be automatically enforceable in the British Virgin Islands because there is no British Virgin Islands law or treaty between the United States and the British Virgin Islands providing for the enforcement in the British Virgin Islands of a monetary judgment entered by a U.S. court. Studio 82 Imports has also been advised that a final and conclusive judgment not subject to a stay of execution obtained in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States under which a sum of money is payable as compensatory damages may be the subject of an action in the High Court of the British Virgin Islands under common law doctrine, by action on the judgment debt evidenced by the court’s judgment.
Such an action should be successful upon proof that the sum of money is due and payable, and without having to prove the facts supporting the underlying judgment, as long as: the court that gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in accordance with private international law principles as applied by the courts in the British Virgin Islands; Studio 82 Imports was duly served; the amount is not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or other fiscal obligations and the judgment is not contrary to public policy in the British Virgin Islands, was not obtained by fraud or in proceedings contrary to natural justice of the British Virgin Islands and is not based on an error in British Virgin Islands law.
The costs and timing of such an action are difficult to estimate and may increase depending on the willingness of the parties to cooperate so as to ensure that pre-hearing procedural matters are completed efficiently. The action would involve filing a claim for the amount due on the basis of the debt as evidenced by the U.S. judgment. There would be a period for filing any defense, and a period in which hearings would be held in order to deal with discovery or any other preliminary issues before the matter is set down for a hearing on the merits. The date for a hearing on the merits would be entirely dependent on the court’s timetable. It could take from 4 to 24 months from the filing of the court proceedings to the court’s ruling following the hearing on the merits.
As a general matter, under British Virgin Islands law a United States court has jurisdiction to render a judgment binding against an individual or corporation capable of enforcement in the following cases: if the person against whom the judgment was rendered was present at the time that the proceedings were instituted in the United States; if the person against whom the judgment was rendered was a claimant or counter-claimant in the proceedings in the U.S. court; if the person against whom the judgment was rendered being a defendant in the U.S. court consented to the jurisdiction of that court by voluntarily appearing in the proceedings; or if the person against whom the judgment was rendered, being a defendant in the U.S. court, had before commencement of the proceedings agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of that court or to the courts of that country in respect of the subject matter of the proceedings.
Under British Virgin Islands law, a foreign judgment can be considered obtained by fraud, either due to fraud on the part of the party in whose favor the judgment is given or on the part of the court which pronounced the judgment. There are few cases in British Virgin Islands in which the courts have considered the issue of denying the enforcement of a foreign judgment for reasons of public policy. In those cases, the British Virgin Islands courts applied U.K. common law, as determined by U.K. cases. Examples of such U.K. cases include courts denying the enforcement of a foreign judgment awarding perpetual maintenance against the estate of a deceased father; and a claim by a foreign daughter against her father for the provision of a dowry on her marriage, as required by the relevant foreign law. A foreign judgment would be considered obtained in opposition to natural justice, for example, if a court of competent jurisdiction gave notice to a litigant that it was about to proceed to determine the rights between that litigant and the other litigants and then did so without affording the litigant the opportunity of substantially presenting the litigant’s case before the court.
A British Virgin Islands court may impose civil liability on Studio 82 Imports or its directors or officers in a suit brought in the High Court of British Virgin Islands against Studio 82 Imports or such persons with respect to facts that constitute a violation of U.S. federal securities laws, provided that the facts surrounding such violation would constitute or give rise to a cause of action under British Virgin Islands law.
Because of the difference in British Virgin Islands’ law and Nevada law and differences in the governing documents of Studio 82 Imports and HALL TEES, your rights as a stockholder may be adversely changed if the reorganization is completed. For a description of these differences, See “Comparison of Rights of Stockholders”.
ITEM 4 - THE MERGER
General
Our Board of Directors and the Consenting Stockholders have approved the change of our domicile from the State of Nevada to the British Virgin Islands. In order to change our domicile to the British Virgin Islands, we will merge with Studio 82 Imports, Inc., a British Virgin Islands Company. The Merger will be effected by an exchange of shares on a one-for-one basis.
As a result of the Merger, we will be a British Virgin Islands corporation. Once the Merger is completed, your rights as a stockholder will cease to be governed by Nevada law and you will be governed by British Virgin Islands law (the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004).
Once the Merger is completed, instead of our current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we will be governed by a Memorandum of Association and by Articles of Association. Both of these documents have been filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands. SeeAnnex A andAnnex B attached to this Information Statement/Prospectus.
When the Articles of Merger are filed with the Nevada Division of Corporations and the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands, the Merger will be effective.
The new corporate structure should give us greater flexibility in seeking to lower our future worldwide tax liability and effective tax rate. It is important to note that several members of the United States Congress have in the past, and likely will in the future, introduce legislation that, if enacted, may have the effect of reducing or eliminating the benefits anticipated as a result of the Merger. In addition, several other members of the United States Congress and the Treasury Department have recently announced their intent to investigate transactions that enable corporations to shelter income in other jurisdictions, such as the proposed reorganization would enable us to do. As a result of the increased scrutiny of such transactions, changes in the tax laws or tax regulations may occur, with prospective or retroactive effect, which could eliminate or substantially reduce the anticipated benefits of the Merger. If, in response to any such changes, the reorganized company or its subsidiaries undertake a corporate restructuring, such restructuring could result in additional material adverse tax consequences to the Company or its stockholders.
Stock Compensation Plans and Employment Agreements
We have no employee or director stock option plans or other stock-based plans and arrangements.
Quotation
HALL TEES’s Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB Market under the symbol “HTEE”. After the Merger we will apply for a new symbol to reflect the new name of the Company.
Accounting Treatment of the Reorganization
The reorganization will be accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control which will not result in changes in our historical consolidated carrying amounts of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity.
The Merger Agreement
HALL TEES and Studio 82 Imports have entered into a Merger Agreement which is the legal document that governs the Merger between the companies. We recommend that you read carefully the complete Merger Agreement for the precise legal terms of the Merger and other information that may be important to you. The Merger Agreement is included in this Information Statement/Prospectus asAnnex C.
Terms of Merger Agreement
The description of the Merger Agreement set forth below describes the material terms, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The full text of the Merger Agreement is attached asAnnex C to this document and is incorporated by reference herein. All stockholders are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety.
● | | Structure of the Merger.At the time the Merger becomes effective, HALL TEES will merge with and into Studio 82 Imports, and Studio 82 Imports will be the surviving corporation. |
● | | Merger Consideration.Each outstanding share of HALL TEES Common Stock will be converted into one ordinary share of Studio 82 Imports. |
● | | Completion of the Merger. The Merger will become effective when we file Articles of Merger with the Division of Corporations of the State of Nevada and the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands. |
● | | Procedures for Exchange of Certificates.After the completion of the Merger, Studio 82 Imports will deliver certificates representing the number of shares of Studio 82 Imports to be issued in the Merger to the Transfer Agent (“Signature Stock Transfer, Inc.”). The Transfer Agent will deliver to HALL TEES stockholders shares of Studio 82 Imports ordinary shares. |
The Transfer Agent will mail to each HALL TEES stockholder a letter of transmittal and instructions to surrender his or her certificates representing HALL TEES Common Stock or Preferred Stock in exchange for certificates representing shares of Studio 82 Imports ordinary shares. After a HALL TEES stockholder surrenders his or her stock certificate along with a duly executed and properly completed letter of transmittal and other required documents, the Transfer Agent will deliver to such stockholder a certificate representing the number of ordinary shares of Studio 82 Imports to which such stockholder is entitled.
HALL TEES stockholders should not forward their HALL TEES Common Stock or Preferred Stock certificates at this time, nor should they forward their HALL TEES Common Stock or Preferred Stock certificates to the Transfer Agent until they have received the packet of information, including a letter of transmittal, described above.
There are currently 7,755,400 shares of Common Stock of HALL TEES issued to our stockholders. As a result of the Merger, all of these shares will be automatically converted into7,755,400 shares of Common Stock of Studio 82 Imports. Only 5,000 ordinary shares of Studio 82 Imports’ currently issued shares will remain outstanding as part of the Merger, and only stockholders of HALL TEES will be issued shares of Studio 82 Imports as part of the Merger in addition to the 5,000 already outstanding in Studio 82 Imports. Therefore, if you own 1% of HALL TEES before the Merger, you will own 0.9994% of Studio 82 Imports immediately following the Merger.
Approval of the Merger by the Consenting Stockholders was deemed approval of the Studio 82 Imports Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association which will be our governing corporate documents in place of our current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. In addition, as shareholders of a BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS corporation, the rights of shareholders of Studio 82 Imports will be governed by British Virgin Islands corporate law rather than Nevada law.
The Merger will not be completed unless, among other things, the following conditions are satisfied or, if allowed by law, waived:
None of the parties to the Merger Agreement is subject to any governmental decree, order or injunction that prohibits the consummation of any of the steps in the reorganization.
The Registration Statement of which this Information Statement/Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and no stop order is in effect.
All consents and approvals required by any governmental or regulatory agency and all other material third-party consents are received.
In the event the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied, the Merger may be abandoned or delayed even after the Merger Agreement has been approved by HALL TEES’s stockholders. In addition, the Merger may be abandoned or delayed for any reason by the board of directors of HALL TEES or Studio 82 Imports at any time prior to its becoming effective, even though the Merger Agreement has been approved by HALL TEES’s stockholders and all conditions to the Merger have been satisfied.
COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS
As a result of the Merger, HALL TEES will be incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and will no longer be incorporated in the State of Nevada. On the date we change our place of incorporation we will be subject to the laws of the British Virgin Islands. We will not, however, be relieved of any obligations or liabilities we incurred before changing our place of incorporation because our existence as a corporation will be deemed to have commenced on the date we were incorporated in the State of Nevada.
The following description of certain differences between Nevada corporate law and British Virgin Islands corporate law is only a summary and does not purport to be complete or to address every applicable aspect of such laws. The following description is qualified in its entirety by references to (i) Nevada law; (ii) British Virgin Islands law; (iii) the HALL TEES Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; and (iv) the Studio 82 Imports Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Capital Structure and Voting
HALL TEES’s authorized capital consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value. There currently are 7,755,400 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and zero shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Studio 82 Imports is authorized to issue up to 40,000,000 ordinary shares of $.001 par value, and 10,000,000 preferred shares of $.001 par value. As of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, Studio 82 Imports has issued 6,000,000 ordinary shares. Studio 82 Imports has not issued any preferred shares which rights and preferences are set forth on Annex B. In connection with the merger 5,995,000 shares of the 6,000,000 shares of Studio 82 Imports which are currently held by the sole shareholder of Studio 82 Imports will be redeemed and cancelled. After the Merger is effective, there will be 7,760,400 ordinary shares of zero preferred shares of Studio 82 Imports issued and outstanding. Fractional shares may be issued under British Virgin Islands law.
The owners of a Nevada corporation’s shares are referred to as “stockholders.” Each stockholder of record is entitled to vote the shares registered in his or her name. However, shares of public companies are frequently held in nominee names, including clearing agencies, broker-dealers or banks, and are voted through a series of proxies.
The owners of a British Virgin Islands company’s shares are referred to under British Virgin Islands law as “members” or “shareholders” but for purposes of this Notice, we have continued to refer to the share owners as “stockholders.” Under the Memorandum of Association of Studio 82 Imports, shares of Studio 82 Imports may only be issued as registered shares.
Under Nevada law, increasing a Nevada corporation’s authorized capital requires stockholder and director approval of an amendment to the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.
Under British Virgin Islands law and the Memorandum of Association of Studio 82 Imports, changes to the maximum number of shares the Company is authorized to issue, the authorization of the rights to be allocated to the preferred shares as well as other changes to the shares, may be made through amendments to the Memorandum of Association approved only by the directors and stockholder approval is not required unless existing class rights are being varied. However, an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association is not effective until it is filed at the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands.
Directors and Officers
HALL TEES’s Bylaws require that the number of its directors shall be between one (1) and nine (9). Directors will be elected at any stockholder meeting duly called and held for such purpose at which a quorum is present by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Vacancies on the HALL TEES board are filled by the majority vote of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director or by unanimous written consent of the directors. Officers are appointed by directors.
Under the Articles of Association of Studio 82 Imports, the minimum number of directors is one (1) and the maximum is fifteen (15). Directors may be elected by a resolution of Directors or by a resolution of shareholders at any stockholder meeting at which a quorum is present by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote or by a written resolution consented to by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Vacancies on the Studio 82 Imports board will be filled by the majority vote of the remaining directors, or by a sole remaining director or by the majority written consent of the directors.. Officers are appointed by directors. Further, directors of the Company may be corporate entities. One third of the number of directors will constitute a quorum with a minimum of two unless there is only one director, in which case a quorum shall be one.
Removal of Directors
HALL TEES’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that directors may be removed, with or without cause, in the manner provided by the laws of the State of Nevada or at a special stockholder meeting duly called and held for such purpose, at which a quorum is present, by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Under Nevada law, directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote. Directors also may be removed by a judicial proceeding brought by the corporation or by the owners of 10% or more of the corporation’s common stock if the court finds that (a) the director engaged in fraudulent or dishonest conduct or gross abuse of authority or discretion with respect to the corporation, and (b) removal is in the best interest of the corporation.
The Articles of Association of Studio 82 Imports provide that directors may be removed by a resolution of directors, or by a resolution of stockholders.
Actions by Written Consent of Stockholders
HALL TEES’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that, except with respect to the election of directors, the stockholders of HALL TEES may act by written consent so long as such action is approved by at least a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon.
Under British Virgin Islands law, and pursuant to the Articles of Association of Studio 82 Imports, stockholders may act by written consent of a majority of the stockholders without holding a meeting.
Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets
Under Nevada law, with certain exceptions, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets must be approved by the board and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
Under British Virgin Islands law, and pursuant to the organizational documents of Studio 82 Imports, the board and the stockholders must approve a merger (except in the case of a merger between a parent company and one or more of its subsidiaries), consolidation or sale of assets representing more than 50% of the total value of all the Company’s assets if not made in the usual or regular course of the Company’s business.
Rights of Dissenting Stockholders
Generally, stockholders of a Nevada corporation are entitled to appraisal rights and payment for the fair value of their shares when they dissent in a vote for a merger or consolidation or are not asked to give their consent in such a vote. There are, however, generally no statutory rights of appraisal with respect to stockholders of a Nevada corporation whose shares of stock are of any class or series of shares which either were listed on a national securities exchange, included in the national market system by FINRA, or were held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders at the time of the vote.
British Virgin Islands law provides for compulsory appraisal of the interests of a stockholder (and payment of the fair market value of his or her shares) who dissents from a merger of a corporation (except where such corporation is the surviving corporation and the stockholder continues to hold the same or similar shares), a consolidation or a sale or other disposition of more than 50% of the corporation’s assets not made in the usual or regular course of the corporation’s business or a redemption in certain circumstances.
Dissolution
Under Nevada law, a corporation may voluntarily dissolve if a majority of the board adopts a resolution to that effect and the holders of a majority of outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon vote for such dissolution or all stockholders entitled to vote thereon consent in writing to such dissolution.
Under British Virgin Islands law, and the organizational documents of Studio 82 Imports, the corporation may dissolve voluntarily by a resolution of stockholders.
Inspection of Stockholder List and Books and Records
Nevada law allows any person who has been a stockholder of record of a corporation for at least 6 months immediately preceding his or her demand, or any person holding, or authorized in writing by the holders of, at least 5% of the corporation’s outstanding shares, to inspect the stockholder list and the corporation’s books and records for a purpose related to such person’s interests as a stockholder upon 5 day’s written demand.
British Virgin Islands law provides that a stockholder may, on giving written notice to the Company, inspect the registers of members and directors, the memorandum and articles of association and the minutes of meetings and resolutions of members and of those classes of members of which he is a member to make copies of or to take extracts thereof. However, British Virgin Islands law also provides that a corporation such as Studio 82 Imports may refuse such a request if it is determined by a resolution of directors not to be in the best interests of the corporation to comply with such request. Upon the corporation’s refusal of a request, the stockholder may apply to a court for an order to allow inspection.
Amendment of Articles of Incorporation/Amendment of Memorandum of Association
Nevada law requires that every amendment to a corporation’s articles of incorporation be adopted by a resolution of directors setting forth the amendment proposed and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon taken at either a duly noticed and held special meeting or next annual meeting of the stockholders. Under the Articles of Incorporation of HALL TEES, an amendment requires an affirmative vote of not less than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of HALL TEES.
Under British Virgin Islands law, a corporation may amend its Memorandum of Association by a resolution of stockholders or, if permitted by its organizational documents, by a resolution of directors. The organizational documents of Studio 82 Imports generally permit the corporation to amend its Memorandum of Association by a resolution of stockholders (approved by a majority of the votes of the shares present at a duly convened and constituted meeting and entitled to vote and that voted and did not abstain or by written resolution of a majority of the shares) or by a resolution of directors (approved by a simple majority of the directors present at a duly convened and constituted meeting who voted and did not abstain or by written resolution of a majority of thedirectors).
Amendment of Bylaws/Articles of Association
The Bylaws of HALL TEES provide that the alteration, amendment or repeal of any bylaws, or the adoption of new bylaws, requires the vote of a majority of a quorum of the directors, or the vote of the stockholders representing a majority of a quorum of all the shares issued and outstanding at any annual stockholders’ meeting or at any special stockholders’ meeting when the proposed amendment has been sent out in a notice of such meeting. The Articles of Incorporation of HALL TEES further grant to the Board of Directors the right and authority to adopt such bylaws as in their judgment may be deemed necessary or advisable for the management and transaction of the business of HALL TEES provided that such bylaws are not in conflict with HALL TEES’s Articles of Incorporation or the Nevada State Constitution.
Under British Virgin Islands law, a corporation may amend its Articles of Association by a resolution of stockholders or, if permitted by its organizational documents, by a resolution of directors. The organizational documents of Studio 82 Imports permit the corporation to amend its Articlesof Association by a resolution of stockholders (approved by a majority of the votes of the shares present at a duly convened and constituted meeting and entitled to vote and that voted and did not abstain or by written resolution of a majority of the shares) or by a resolution of directors (approved by a simple majority of directors present at a duly convened and constituted meeting who voted and did not abstain or by a majority of the directors in writing).
Transactions Involving Directors or Officers
Nevada law provides that no agreement or transaction is void or voidable just because:
Stockholders are entitled to demand appraisal of their shares in the case of mergers or consolidations, except where: (i) they are stockholders of the surviving corporation and the merger did not require their approval under Nevada law; (ii) the corporation’s shares are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by FINRA; or (iii) the corporation’s shares are held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders.
● | | the agreement or transaction is between a corporation and either one (1) or more directors or officers or another corporation, firm or association in which 1 or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers or are financially interested; |
● | | the vote or votes of a common or interested director are counted for the purpose of authorizing or approving the agreement or transaction. |
Nevada law further provides that an agreement or transaction referred to above is valid if the fact of the common directorship, office or financial interest:
● | | is known to the board of directors or committee, which then authorizes the agreement or transaction in good faith by a sufficient vote without counting the vote or votes of the common or interested director or directors; |
● | | is known to the stockholders, and they approve the agreement or transaction in good faith by a majority vote of stockholders, which vote includes the votes of the common or interested directors or officers; or |
● | | is not known to the director or officer at the time the transaction is brought before the board of directors of the corporation for action. |
Additionally, under Nevada law, common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee thereof which authorizes an agreement or transaction, and, if the votes of the common or interested directors are not counted at the meeting, then a majority of the disinterested directors may authorize the agreement or transaction.
British Virgin Islands law, and the organizational documents of Studio 82 Imports, provide that a director of the Company must disclose to the board any interest he has in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company unless the transaction concerned is between the interested director and the Company and the transaction is being entered into in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and on usual terms and conditions.
A transaction entered into by the Company in respect of which a director is interested is voidable unless the director’s interest was declared to the board as mentioned above or not required to be disclosed pursuant to below.
A transaction entered into by the Company in respect of which a director is interested is not voidable by the Company if:
● | | the material facts of the interest of the director in the transaction are known by the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting; and |
● | | the agreement or transaction is approved or ratified by a resolution of stockholders; and |
● | | the Company received fair value for the transaction. |
In addition, under British Virgin Islands law and the organizational documents of Studio 82 Imports, a director who has an interest in any particular business to be considered at a meeting of directors may be counted for purposes of determining whether the meeting is quorate, may vote on the transaction and may sign a document that relates to the transaction on behalf of the Company .
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Under Nevada law (subject to certain statutory exceptions, and unless the articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto, in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003, provide for greater individual liability), a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or omission in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that his or her act or omission constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and the breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
Under British Virgin Islands law, liability of a director to the corporation is limited to cases where the director has not acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the corporation or to cases where the director has not exercised the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Under the organizational documents of Studio 82 Imports, the corporation is authorized to indemnify any person who is made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by virtue of being a director of the corporation or is or was at the request of the corporation acting as a director of or in any other capacity of another entity. However under British Virgin Islands law the Company may not provide such indemnity to a person who did not act honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to be the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Stockholder Derivative Suits
Under Nevada law, a stockholder may only bring a derivative action on behalf of the corporation if the stockholder was a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction in question or his or her stock thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation of law.
While British Virgin Islands law does permit a stockholder of a British Virgin Islands corporation to sue its directors derivatively (i.e., in the name of and for the benefit of the corporation), and to sue the corporation and its directors for the stockholder’s benefit and for the benefit of others similarly situated, the circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect of any such action, may result in the rights of stockholders of a British Virgin Islands corporation being more limited than those of stockholders of a corporation organized in Nevada.
Fiscal Year
Studio 82 Imports fiscal year will end on December 31, the same as HALL TEES’s.
VALUATION REPORT
HALL TEES has not prepared a Valuation Report, the purpose of a Valuation Report would be to render an opinion of the fair market value of a 100% interest in HALL TEES as of a recent date, on a control basis, for income tax purposes with respect to tax consequences of the Merger. HALL TEES has a negative net worth and no operations and therefore a Valuation Report is not considered necessary since it has no assets and has liabilities which would likely render a valuation of zero or a negative valuation.
UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion summarizes the material United States federal income tax consequences of the change in HALL TEES’s place of incorporation. This discussion is based upon the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular shareholder in light of the shareholder’s particular circumstances or to those shareholders subject to special rules, such as shareholders who are financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies or dealers in securities, shareholders who acquired their stock pursuant to the exercise of options or similar derivative securities or otherwise as compensation or shareholders who hold their stock as part of a straddle or conversion transaction, nor does it address any consequences arising under the laws of any local, state or any jurisdiction other than the United States. This discussion assumes that shareholders hold their respective shares of stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. All shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the United States federal income tax consequences of the Merger, of the continuing business operations of Studio 82 Imports, in addition to the effect of any state or local laws, and any law of any jurisdiction other than the United States.
HALL TEES has not applied for a tax ruling with respect to the Merger, nor have we obtained an opinion of counsel with respect to the Merger. Therefore, no assurances can be given that the expected tax result will be achieved in the proposed transaction.
HALL TEES believes that for United States income tax purposes, the Merger will constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). HALL TEES will be deemed to transfer its assets to Studio 82 Imports in exchange for Studio 82 Imports stock. HALL TEES then will be deemed to distribute the Studio 82 Imports stock to its shareholders in liquidation of their interests in HALL TEES. HALL TEES believes that the holders of the HALL TEES common stock will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Merger. We anticipate that for United States income tax purposes, each shareholder of HALL TEES will retain the same tax basis in his or her Studio 82 Imports common stock as he or she had in the HALL TEES common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and the holding period of the Studio 82 Imports common stock will include the period during which such shareholder held the corresponding HALL TEES common stock. In accordance with Section 367(a) of the Code, HALL TEES will realize gain (but not loss) on the transfer of its assets to Studio 82 Imports. The gain is determined on an asset-by-asset basis, and equals the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of each asset exceeds that asset’s adjusted tax basis.
The shareholders of HALL TEES should consult their own tax advisors as to the effect of the reorganization under United States federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws.
Companies that are organized under the laws of foreign countries (including Studio 82 Imports) are either controlled foreign corporations (“CFC”) or they are not CFCs. A summary of the differences are as follows:
CFC
A foreign corporation is a CFC if certain defined U.S. Shareholders own, or are considered to own, more than 50% of (1) the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote, or (2) the total value of the stock of such corporation. A “U.S. Shareholder” is a U.S. person who owns, or is considered to own, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote. If a corporation is a CFC, then each of its U.S. shareholders who own less than 10% of the CFC’s stock should not be taxed except to the extent they receive distributions from the company. Defined U.S. Shareholders who own 10% or more of a CFC must include in their gross income the sum of their pro rata share of the corporation’s Subpart F income for such year even if such income was not distributed to shareholders. Subpart F income usually includes, among other items, certain dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and profits from sales of products made in one non-U.S. country and sold in another non-U.S. country. A detailed discussion of what constitutes Subpart F income is beyond the scope of this Information Statement/Prospectus.
Non CFC
If a majority of the stock of a foreign corporation is not owned by defined U.S. Shareholders, then it is likely that the foreign corporation is not a CFC. The non CFC and its foreign subsidiaries generally are not subject to tax in the United States on their income derived from sources outside the United States. In such event, U.S. and non-U.S. shareholders are not taxed on the earnings of the non CFC and U.S. shareholders are subject to tax only when they receive distributions from the foreign corporation. (Under limited circumstances, foreign corporations earning substantial amounts of defined generally passive income or holding substantial assets that produce such defined passive income, may constitute “passive foreign investment companies” for United States income tax purposes, in which event it may be beneficial for United States shareholders to make an election as a defined “qualified electing fund.” HALL TEES believes that Studio 82 Imports will not constitute a passive foreign investment company. A full discussion of the rules applicable to defined passive foreign investment companies is beyond the scope of this Information Statement/Prospectus.)
Currently, Studio 82 Imports is a CFC since the majority of its shareholders, are U.S. person. Studio 82 Imports and it will continue to be a CFC after the Merger since U.S. shareholders will still own over 50% of their stock, by vote or by value. Studio 82 Imports will remain a CFC, as long as more than 50% of their stock, by vote or value, is owned or considered owned by U.S. shareholders.
DISSENTER’S RIGHTS UNDER NEVADA LAW
Since you were not asked to vote to approve and adopt the Merger, you have the right to dissent and be paid cash for the “fair value” of your shares of HALL TEES Common Stock, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger. To perfect these appraisal rights with respect to the Merger, you must follow the required procedures precisely. A copy of Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500 of the NRS is attached to this Information Statement Statement/Prospectus asAnnex D.
This discussion andAnnex D should be reviewed carefully by you if you wish to exercise statutory dissenters’ rights or wish to preserve the right to do so, because failure to strictly comply with any of the procedural requirements of the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute may result in a termination or waiver of dissenters’ rights under the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute. Under the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute, you have the right to dissent from the Merger and demand payment of the fair value of your shares. If you elect to dissent, you must deliver to the Company a written notice of dissent stating that you intend to demand payment for your shares if the Merger is consummated. A form of Demand for Payment is set forth at the end ofAnnex D. This notice must be sent not later than July 24, 2010. If you fail to comply with these requirements, you will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights. The “fair value” of the shares as used in the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute is the value of the shares immediately before the effectuation of the proposed merger, excluding appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Merger unless exclusion would be inequitable.
Within 10 days after the effective time of the Merger, the reincorporated Company will give written notice of the effective date of the Merger by certified mail to each stockholder who filed a written notice of dissent. The notice will also state where demand for payment must be sent and where share certificates must be deposited, among other information. Within the time period set forth in the notice, which may not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days following the date notice is delivered, the dissenting stockholder must make a written demand on the reincorporated Company for payment of the fair value of his or her shares and deposit his or her share certificates in accordance with the notice.
Within 30 days after the receipt of the dissenters’ demand for payment, the reincorporated Company will pay each dissenter who complied with the required procedures the amount it estimates to be the fair value of the dissenters’ shares, plus accrued interest. Additionally, the reincorporated Company shall mail to each dissenting stockholder a balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ending not more than 16 months before the date of payment, a statement of income for that year, a statement of changes in the stockholders equity for that year and the latest available interim financial statements, if any, a statement as to how fair value was calculated, a statement as to how interest was calculated, a statement of the dissenters’ right to demand payment of fair value under Nevada law, and a copy of the relevant provisions of Nevada law.
Following receipt of payment for the shares, a dissenting stockholder, within 30 days, may send the reincorporated Company notice containing such stockholder’s own estimate of fair value and accrued interest, and demand payment for that amount less the amount received pursuant to the reincorporated Company’s payment of fair value to such stockholder. This right is waived if the stockholder does not make written demand within 30 days of the reincorporated Company’s payment for the stockholders’ shares.
If a demand for payment remains unsettled, the reincorporated Company will petition the court to determine fair value and accrued interest. If the reincorporated Company fails to commence an action within 60 days following the receipt of the stockholder’s demand, the reincorporated Company will pay to the stockholder the amount demanded by the stockholder in the stockholder’s notice containing the stockholder’s estimate of fair value and accrued interest.
All dissenting holders, whether residents of Nevada or not, must be made parties to the action and the court will render judgment for the fair value of their shares. Each party must be served with the petition. The judgment shall include payment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of such shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount already paid. If the court finds that the demand of any dissenting stockholder for payment was arbitrary, vexatious or otherwise not in good faith, the court may assess costs, including reasonable fees of counsel and experts, against such stockholder. Otherwise the costs and expenses of bringing the action will be determined by the court. In addition, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and experts may be assessed against the reincorporated Company if the court finds that it did not substantially comply with the requirements of the Nevada dissenters’ rights statute or that it acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights granted to dissenters under Nevada law.
If you are a holder of shares and you wish to seek dissenters’ rights, you are urged to review the applicable Nevada statutes attached to this Information Statement/Prospectus asAnnex D.

STUDIO 82, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities, History and Organization:
STUDIO 82, Inc. (“STUDIO 82”, the “Company”) was formed on February 21, 2011 in the Cayman Islands and redomiciled to the British Virgin Islands on April 5, 2011. The Company has no business activities and its only expenses are fees for regulatory filings to keep the corporate charter in good standing.
The Company operates on a calendar year-end.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been made.
Basis of Presentation:
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in banks with original maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost which approximates market value, which in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Use of 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.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable, when incurred, are carried at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and credit conditions, based on a history of write offs and collections. The Company’s policy is generally not to charge interest on trade receivables after the invoice becomes past due. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms and a provision is made for all accounts greater than 60 days from invoice date. Write-offs are recorded at a time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible. The Company has a large number of customers in various industries and geographies and establishes reasonable credit lines to limit credit risk.
Income Taxes:
The Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands which has no corporate income tax, therefore there is no provision for income taxes.
Earnings per Share:
Earnings per share (basic) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period covered. As the Company has no potentially dilutive securities, fully diluted earnings per share is identical to earnings per share (basic).
NOTE 2 – EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 preferred shares at a par value of $.001 per share. There were no preferred shares outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 common shares at a par value of $.001 per share. These shares have full voting rights. There were 6,000,000 and 6,000,000 shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In 2011, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares for services valued at $5,000 to the President..
The Company does not have any stock option plans or stock warrants.

ITEM 20 – INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Nevada Law
HALL TEES is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a corporation may indemnify directors or officers who were, are, or are threatened to be made party in a completed, pending or threatened proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (except an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the person’s being or having been an officer or director of the corporation or serving in certain capacities at the request of the corporation. The person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to be the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all circumstances the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
British Virgin Islands Law
Subject to any limitations in a corporation’s Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association, British Virgin Islands law allows a corporation to indemnify, against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred, any person who (1) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or liquidator of the company or (2) is or was, at the company’s request, serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another entity; provided, however, that such person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Studio 82 Imports’s Articles of Association provide that the company may indemnify any person referred to in the preceding sentence if such person has been successful in defending any proceeding of the type described in the preceding sentence, regardless of whether such person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Item 22. Undertakings.
| (a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (b) | (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a Prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering Prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to re-offerings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form. |
(2) The registrant undertakes that every Prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
| (d) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed after the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. |
| (e) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. |
