SUMMARY
This summary highlights some information from this prospectus. It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information regarding our company, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed under "Risk Factors," and our financial statements and their accompanying notes.
In this prospectus, "Lisboa", "the Company," "we," "us," and "our," refer to Lisboa, unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "fiscal year" refers to our fiscal year ending May 31. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "common stock" refers to shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
The Company
Lisboa Leisure, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2010. Our offices are located at the premises of our President, Maria Fernandes, who provides such space to us on a rent-free basis at H 16/B, Adsulim, Benaulim, Goa, India.
Our plan of operation is to operate beach front eating establishments on the beaches on Goa, India that are commonly referred to as "beach shacks". A beach shack is akin to a restaurant and is a part of the food and beverage sector of the tourism industry and predominately caters to tourists to the State of Goa, India. We will apply for permission from the Tourism Department, Government of State of Goa, to erect and operate a temporary shack at Velledo beach in Benaulim, South Goa, with a view to expanding operations over time. All beach shacks in Goa are temporary and beach shack owners are required to apply for permission to erect and operate a beach shack each year. Our President, Ms. Maria Fernandes, who operates a guest house (bed and breakfast) in Goa, has experience in the tourism business in Goa.
We are a development stage company. We are a company without revenues or operations and have minimal assets. Our limited start-up operations have consisted of the formation of our business plan and identification of our target market. Our business plan anticipates that if we receive permission to erect and operate one beach shack in 2010, our sales will begin in November 2010, the start of the tourist season in Goa.
Currently, our President devotes approximately five hours a week to the Company. We will require the funds from this offering in order to fully implement our business plan as discussed in the "Plan of Operation" section of this prospectus.
Our financial statements from inception (May 19, 2010) through May 31, 2010 report no revenues and a net loss of $407 and our only asset is our cash balance of $18,993, which was generated from the issuance of shares to our sole officer and director, less costs incurred to date.
Investors should be aware that our independent auditors have issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months. Our auditor's opinion is based on our suffering initial losses, having limited operations, and having limited working capital. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments or loans by others in our Company. We must raise cash to implement our projects and begin our operations.
Our priority is to obtain permission to erect a beach shack, in order to achieve and maintain profitability in the future. Investors must be aware that we do not have sufficient capital to independently finance our own plans. We have no plans, arrangements or contingencies in place in the event that we cease operations, in which case investors would likely lose their entire investment.
Potential investors should be aware that our President, Ms. Fernandes, an officer and director of the Company, presently owns 3,800,000 shares, which would represent 70.4% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company if the offering closes and all our offered shares are sold. All of these shares are restricted shares. All 3,800,000 shares were purchased at a price of $0.005 per share representing a total cost of $19,000.
The Offering
We are offering, on a self-underwritten basis, a total of 1,600,000 shares of the common stock of our Company at a price of $0.02 per share. This is a fixed price offering. There is no minimum offering of the shares of common stock under this Offering. In order to close the Offering all of the offered shares must be sold. This Offering of shares by our Company will terminate 180 days from the effective date of this Prospectus, although we may close the Offering on any date prior if the Offering is fully subscribed. In the event that all 1,600,000 shares of our common stock are not sold within 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus, on the 181st day from the effective date all money received by us will be returned to each subscriber without interest or deduction of any kind. If all of the shares of common stock of our Company offered under this Offering are sold within 180 days from the effective date of this Prospectus, all money received will be available to us and there will be no return of any funds.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed.
Our independent auditors state in their audit report, which is included with this prospectus, that since we have no business operations to date and must secure additional financing to commence our plan of operations, these matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To date, we have completed only part of our business plan and we cannot assure you that we will be able to generate enough revenue to achieve profitability. At this time, we cannot predict with assurance the potential success of our business.
As a start-up or development stage company, an investment in our Company is considered a high risk investment whereby you could lose your entire investment.
We have just commenced operations and, therefore, we are considered a "start-up" or "development stage" company. We have not yet owned and/or operated a beach shack. We will incur significant expenses in order to implement our business plan. As an investor, you should be aware of the difficulties, delays and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its development stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated developmental expenses, inventory costs, employment costs, and advertising and marketing expenses. We cannot assure you that our proposed business plan as described in this prospectus will materialize or prove successful, or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, you could lose your entire investment.
We have not received permission from Department of Tourism of State of Goa and we may never receive permission. Continuous applying and filing to get permission to operate a beach shack will drain available cash and eventually force us to cease operations.
It is critical to secure the permission from Department of Tourism of the State of Goa in order to operate an eating establishment. Without this permission, we cannot commence our operations. A number of important steps need to be completed:
·
Identifying locations and their potential (which we have done)
·
Meeting various Government officials to make our President known
·
Completing the application for permission before submission date.
If we fail to secure permission, we will not have a successful product offering this tourist season, which commences in November 2010. We will curtail our operations to a minimum and apply in 2011 for that tourist season.
The beach shack industry is highly competitive as the beach shacks are concentrated and returning tourists normally return to the shacks that had frequented previous year. If we cannot develop our beach shack in a desirable location and do not attract customers, we will not be able to compete successfully, our business may be adversely affected and we may not be able to generate any revenue.
The beach shack business in Goa is intensely competitive. There are numerous, experience and well-run beach shacks in popular locations. Although the Department of Tourism limits the number of shacks and tables and beach beds, the industry is very competitive. We have not demonstrated that we currently can compete successfully against these competitors and we may not be able to compete in the future. If we are unable to effectively compete, our results would be negatively affected, we may be unable to implement our plan and we might ultimately fail.
Compliance with health and other government regulations applicable to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The food service business is subject to various local, state and governmental regulations, standards and other requirements for food storage, preparation facilities, food handling procedures and labor standards. We are also subject to license and permit requirements relating to health and safety. If we encounter difficulties in obtaining any necessary licenses or permits or complying with these ongoing and changing regulatory requirements we may have difficulty or may not even be able to open our food service business. The occurrence of any of these problems could materially harm the success of our business and result in the entire loss of your investment.
3
We are dependent upon the funds to be raised in this offering to start our business. We may need to obtain additional financing which may not be available.
We need the proceeds from this offering of $32,000 to start our operations. If this amount is raised, it will enable us, after paying the expenses of this offering, to apply for permission to operate a beach shack in 2010 and potentially expand operations in 2011 to operate multiple beach shacks.
It will also enable us to initiate our marketing plans and print support material such as brochures and flyers. We may need additional funds to complete further development of our business plan and to achieve a sustainable sales level where ongoing operations and expansion can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
Because we have not yet commenced business operations, it makes evaluating our business difficult.
We were incorporated on May 19, 2010 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities. We have not earned revenues as of the date of this prospectus and have incurred total losses of $407 from our incorporation to May 31, 2010.
Accordingly, you cannot evaluate our business or our future prospects, due to our lack of operating history. To date, our business development activities have consisted solely of organizational activities. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by development stage companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. In addition, there is no guarantee that we will commence business operations. Even if we do commence operations, at present, we do not know exactly when.
Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the operating our beach shack, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
Because we operate in a foreign country, our business is subject to currency fluctuations and risks which could impact our revenues and results of operations. Also, since we hold our cash reserves in US dollars, we may experience weakened purchasing power in Indian rupees terms and may not be able to afford to conduct our planned program.
We hold our cash reserves in US dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these reserves can result in both translation gains and losses in terms of Indian rupees. If there was to be a significant decline in the US Dollar versus Indian rupees, our Indian rupees purchasing power in US dollars would also significantly decline. We have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.
Upon securing permission to operate a beach shack, we must build a beach shack that meets the legal requirements.
If we are successful in getting the necessary permit in order to erect a beach shack, we will be responsible for erecting and operating the establishment. We will also be responsible for ensuring that the facility meets all legal requirements, including those regarding maximum size and fitness for public occupancy. While we intend to retain the necessary consultants and contractors to prepare a design plan and construct the shack, we currently do not have any preliminary building layout and plans. In addition, we currently do not have the funds to develop layout plans.
Our business operations could be severely impacted as a result of political or economic instability and/or terrorist activities, which could result in a loss of any investment in our shares.
Any terrorist or threatened terrorist activities in or near where we operate our beach shack could severely restrict our business operations and reduce possible revenues. At this time, there are no threats or pending threats to the areas where we plan to conduct our operations or where the tourist sites are located. In addition, any adverse changes to the current economy, political climate, currency, and environment for foreign businesses or security could result in the closure of our business and loss of revenues, which would result in a total loss of your investment.
If our President leaves prior to securing replacements, we will be left without management and our business operations would cease.
We depend on the services of our President, Maria Fernandes, and our success depends on the decisions made by her. The loss of the services of our President could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is no assurance that our President will not leave us or compete against us in the future, as we presently have no employment agreement with her. In such circumstance, we may have to recruit qualified personnel with competitive compensation packages, equity participation and other benefits that may affect the working capital available for our operations. Our failure to attract additional qualified employees or to retain the services of Ms. Fernandes could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could successfully operate beach shacks. We will fail without appropriate replacements.
4
Our management has no prior experience in the operating a beach shack and therefore may not be able to successfully manage the development or growth of our company in this field.
Our management has no direct experience in operating beach shacks. Although Ms. Fernandes has experience operating a guesthouse for tourists and has assisted with the operation of a beach shack, this experience may not be completely useful in securing permission to erect and operate a beach shack. This inexperience may cause us to make serious mistakes in the development or implementation of our business plan. Our management may be unable to develop or grow a business in this field due to its inexperience.
Because our sole officer and director has no formal training in financial accounting and management, in the future, our disclosure and accounting controls may not be effective to comply with applicable laws and regulations, which could result in fines, penalties and assessments against us.
We have only one officer and director. She has no formal training in financial accounting and management; however, she has been preparing the financial statements that have been audited and reviewed by our auditors and included in this prospectus. Furthermore, she is responsible for our managerial and organizational structure, which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "SOX Act"). Accordingly, she may be incapable of creating and implementing the disclosure and accounting controls which are required under the SOX Act, which could result in fines, penalties and assessments against us and which ultimately could cause you to lose your entire investment.
The lack of public company experience of our sole officer and director could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S. securities laws.
Maria Fernandes, our sole officer and director, has had no responsibility for managing a public company in the United States, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Such responsibility includes complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. In addition, Ms. Fernandes may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner or in a manner which adequately responds to such increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy, in which event you could lose your entire investment in our company.
Our sole officer and director will allocate only a portion of her time to our business, which could have a negative impact on our success.
Currently, our sole officer and director allocates only a portion of her time to the operation of our business. If our business develops faster than anticipated, or if her other commitments require her to devote more substantial amounts of time than is currently planned, there is no guarantee that she will devote the time necessary to assure our successful operations. As a result, there is a substantial risk that we will not be successful in our endeavors.
If our estimates related to expenditures are erroneous or inaccurate, our business will fail and you could lose your entire investment.
Our success is dependent in part upon the accuracy of our management's estimates of expenditures for legal and accounting services, including those we expect to incur as a publicly reporting company, applying and constructing a beach shack and advertising and administrative expenses, which management estimates to aggregate a minimum of approximately $35,000 over the next 12 months. If such estimates are erroneous or inaccurate, or we encounter unforeseen expenses and delays, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, which could result in the failure of our business and a loss of your entire investment.
We are subject to the many risks of doing business internationally including but not limited to the difficulty of enforcing liabilities in a foreign jurisdiction.
Our sole officer and director resides outside of the United States and a substantial amount of our assets will be located outside of the United States. We are a Nevada corporation and, as such, are subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Nevada and the United States courts for purposes of any lawsuit, action or proceeding by investors herein. Also, we are registered as a foreign corporation doing business in India and are subject to the local laws of India governing investors' ability to bring actions in foreign courts and enforce liabilities against a foreign private issuer, or any person, based on U.S. federal securities laws.
5
Our sole officer and director resides in India. Any action brought against her in the United States, even if successful, either through default or on the merits of the claim, that results in a financial award against her, may be required to be enforced and/or collected in India, unless Ms. Fernandes owned assets located in the United States. Further, shareholder efforts to bring an action in India against its citizens for any alleged breach of a duty in a foreign jurisdiction may be difficult, as prosecution of a claim in a foreign jurisdiction, and in particular a foreign nation, may be effectively, if not financially, unfeasible.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
Because our sole officer and director, who is also our sole promoter, will own more than 50% of the outstanding shares after this offering, she will retain control of us and be able to elect directors which could decrease the price and marketability of the shares.
Even if we sell all 1,600,000 shares of common stock in this offering, Ms. Fernandes will still own 3,800,000 shares and will continue to control us. As a result, Ms. Fernandes will have significant influence to:
| | |
| · | elect or defeat the election of our directors; |
| · | amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws; |
| · | effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and |
| · | effect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote. |
Moreover, because of the significant ownership position held by our insider, new investors may not be able to effect a change in the Company's business or management, and therefore, shareholders would be subject to decisions made by management and the majority shareholder.
In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by Ms. Fernandes, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
We are selling this offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell all of the shares, in which case, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plans and you would receive a return of your entire investment.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares. We intend to sell them through our sole officer and director, who will receive no commissions. She will offer the shares to friends, relatives, acquaintances and business associates; however, there is no guarantee that she will be able to sell any of the shares. In the event we do not sell all of the shares before the expiration date of the offering, all funds raised will be promptly returned to the investors, without interest or deduction.
You will incur immediate and substantial dilution of the price you pay for your shares.
Our existing stockholder acquired her shares at a cost of $.005 per share, a cost per share that is substantially less than the amount you will pay for the shares you purchase in this offering. Accordingly, any investment you make in these shares will result in the immediate and substantial dilution of the net tangible book value of those shares from the $0.02 you pay for them. Upon completion of the offering, the net tangible book value of your shares will be $0.0094 per share, $0.0106 less than what you paid for them.
There is currently no public market for our securities, and there can be no assurance that any public market will develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading.
There is no public market for our securities and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the securities offered herein will develop after this offering by the selling stockholders, or, if developed, be sustained. After the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we intend to identify a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") to have our common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We will have to satisfy certain criteria in order for our application to be accepted. We do not currently have a market maker that is willing to participate in this application process, and even if we identify a market maker, we cannot assure you that we will meet the requisite criteria or that our application will be accepted. Our common stock may never be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or, even if quoted, a public market may not materialize.
If our securities are not eligible for initial quotation, or if quoted, are not eligible for continued quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the shares of common stock may have difficulty selling or be unable to sell their securities should they desire to do so, rendering their shares effectively worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment.

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits his or her ability to sell our stock.
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. "Penny stock" rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, that is, generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with a spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares of common stock. The market price of our shares would likely suffer as a result.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for certain customers. FINRA requirements will likely make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus.
If you purchase shares of our common stock sold pursuant to this offering, you may not be able to resell the shares in a certain state unless and until the shares of our common stock are qualified for secondary trading under the applicable securities laws of such state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in such state. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in registering or qualifying our common stock for secondary trading, or identifying an available exemption for secondary trading in our common stock in every state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, our common stock in any particular state, the shares of common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to p ermit secondary trading in our common stock, the market for the common stock will be limited, which could drive down the market price of our common stock and reduce the liquidity of the shares of our common stock and a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock at all or at current market prices, which could increase a stockholder's risk of losing some or all of her investment.
If quoted, the price of our common stock may be volatile, which may substantially increase the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that you may pay for the shares.
Even if our shares are quoted for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board following this offering and a public market develops for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be volatile. It may fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors:
| | |
| | |
| · | variations in quarterly operating results; |
| · | our announcements of significant commissions and achievement of milestones; |
| · | our relationships with other companies or capital commitments; |
| · | additions or departures of key personnel; |
| · | sales of common stock or termination of stock transfer restrictions; |
| · | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, if any; and |
| · | fluctuations in stock market price and volume. |
Your inability to sell your shares during a decline in the price of our stock may increase losses that you may suffer as a result of your investment.

Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock, holders of our common stock must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, holders of our common stock will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on their investment in our common stock.
Additional issuances of our securities may result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders.
We must raise additional capital in order for our business plan to succeed. Our most likely source of additional capital will be through the sale of additional shares of common stock. We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 3,800,000 shares of common stock are currently issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common, and to determine the rights, preferences and privilege of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. We may issue shares in connection with financing arrangements or otherwise. Any such issuances will result in immediate dilution to our existing shareholders' interests, which will negatively affect the value of your shares.
We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the SOX Act, we will be required, beginning with our fiscal year ending May 31, 2010, to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of fiscal 2009. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management's time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements.
We currently do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees. During the course of our testing, we may identify other deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the SOX Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the SOX Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.

Our marketing and advertising will be focused on promoting our beach shack to travel agencies, small resorts and tourists in Goa. Our advertising campaign will include the design and printing of various print materials.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established market for our stock. The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into consideration our capital structure and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plans. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our securities.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we intend to seek a market maker to file an application with the FINRA to have our stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, we cannot assure you that our shares will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, that:
a.
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
b.
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws;
c.
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
d.
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
e.
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
f.
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
9
The broker or dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
(a)
bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
(b)
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
(c)
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
(d)
a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a suitably written statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock. Therefore, if our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Holders
We had one holder of record of our common stock as of July 27, 2010.
Securities Authorized For Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We do not have any securities authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any dividends since our incorporation and do not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. At present, our policy is to retain earnings, if any, to develop and market our product. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, capital requirements, and operating financial conditions.
DILUTION
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.
In this offering, the level of dilution is increased as a result of the relatively low book value of Lisboa's presently issued and outstanding stock. This is due to the shares of common stock issued to the Company's founder totaling 3,800,000 shares at $0.005 per share for $19,000 cash versus the current offering price of $0.02 per share.
The Company's net tangible book value on May 31, 2010 was $18,593 or approximately $0.0049 per share, based upon 3,800,000 shares outstanding. Upon completion of this offering, but without taking into account any change in the net tangible book value after completion of this offering other than that resulting from the sale of the shares and receipt of the total proceeds of $32,000, the net tangible book value of the 5,400,000 shares to be outstanding will be $50,593, or approximately $0.0094 per share. Accordingly, the net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder (3,800,000 shares) will be increased by $.0045 per share without any additional investment on her part. The purchasers of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution (a reduction in the net tangible book value per share from the offering price of $0.02 per share) of $0.0106 per share. As a result, after completion of the offering, the net tangible book value of the shares held by purchasers in this offering would be $0.0094 per share, reflecting an immediate reduction from the $0.02 price per share they paid for their shares.
After completion of the offering, the existing shareholder will own 70.4% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which she will have made a cash investment of $19,000, or $0.005 per share. Upon completion of the offering, the purchasers of the shares offered hereby will own 29.6% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they will have made a cash investment of $32,000, or $0.02 per share.
The following table illustrates the dilution to the purchasers of the common stock in this offering. The table below includes an analysis of the dilution that will occur if all shares are sold:

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
Our current stockholder is not selling any of the shares being offered in this Prospectus
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This is a self-underwritten offering. There are no plans or arrangements to enter into any contracts or agreements to sell the Shares with a broker or dealer. Ms. Fernandes, our officer and director, will sell the shares and intends to offer them to friends, family members and business acquaintances with no commission or other remuneration payable to her for any Shares she sells. In offering the securities on our behalf, she will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
She will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1, which sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. Our sole officer and director satisfies the requirements of Rule 3a4-1, because she:
(a)
is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39)of the Act, at the time of her participation; and
(b)
will not be compensated in connection with her participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities; and
(c)
is not, nor will she be at the time of her participation in the offering, an associated person of a broker-dealer; and
(d)
meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that she (A) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of our company, other than in connection with transactions in securities; and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or been associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve months; and (C) has not participated in selling and offering securities for any Issuer more than once every twelve months other than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).
Only after our registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, do we intend to advertise, through tombstones, and hold investment meetings in Goa, India. We will not utilize the internet to advertise our offering. Ms. Fernandes will also distribute the prospectus to potential investors at the meetings, to business associates and to her friends and relatives who are interested in us and a possible investment in the offering. No Shares purchased in this offering will be subject to any kind of lock-up agreement.
11
Our officer, director, control person and her affiliates do not intend to purchase any Shares in this offering.
We intend to sell our Shares outside the United States, particularly in India.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated thereunder, impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules. Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approve the transaction for the customer's account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding her investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of her rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Securities Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.
The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your Shares.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of common stock or other subscription rights. The common stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available. Therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in our assets that are available for distribution to stockholders.
The Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further stockholder action.
Options, Warrants and Rights
There are no outstanding options, warrants, or similar rights to purchase any of our securities.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any cash dividends to shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Penny Stock Regulation
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE RESALE
General
There is no public market for our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
Upon completion of this offering, based on our outstanding shares as of July 27, 2010, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 5,400,000 shares of our common stock. Of these shares, upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the 1,600,000 shares covered hereby will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.
The remaining 3,800,000 restricted shares of common stock to be outstanding are owned by our sole officer and director, known as our "affiliate," and may not be resold in the public market except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or under an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or otherwise.
13
Rule 144
The 3,800,000 shares held by our sole director and officer are subject to the sale limitations imposed by Rule 144 and rules applying to shell companies. The eventual availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.
Our issued shares of common stock are not currently available for resale to the public in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act because we are a shell company. Our shareholders cannot rely on Rule 144 for the resale of our common stock until the following have occurred:
1.
we have ceased to be a shell company;
2.
we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act;
3.
we have filed all Exchange Act reports required for the past 12 months; and
4.
a minimum of one year has elapsed since we filed current Form 10 information on Form 8-K changing our status from a shell company to a non-shell company.
When Rule 144 is available, our affiliate stockholder shall be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
1. 1% of the number of shares of the company's common stock then outstanding; or
2. the average weekly trading volume of the company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the company.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS
Overview
We were incorporated on May 19, 2010 in the State of Nevada. We have never been involved in any reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets nor have we ever declared bankruptcy, been in receivership, or been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Business of Issuer
Our business strategy is to operate beach shacks on the beaches on Goa, India. Beach shacks are like restaurants and are a part of the food and beverage sector of the tourism industry. These shacks predominately cater to tourists to the State of Goa, India. We will initially apply for permission from the Tourism Department, Government of State of Goa, to erect and operate a temporary shack at Velledo beach in Benaulim, South Goa. Licenses for beach shacks are only issued on a temporary basis, but they are renewable. Our office is located at the premises of our President, Maria Fernandes, who provides such space to us on a rent-free basis at H 16/B, Adsulim, Benaulim, Goa, India.
14
Our President, Ms. Maria Fernandes, who operates a guest house (bed and breakfast), has developed experience in tourism business and maintaining relationship with visitors from different parts of the world and speaking different languages. Ms Fernandes's sister operates a beach shack in south Goa and Ms. Fernandes has assisted her sister with business operation of the shack, including obtaining a license, overseeing construction of the shack, purchasing food and liquor and cooking.
We are a development stage company. We are a company without revenues or operations. We have minimal assets and have incurred losses since inception. Our limited start-up operations have consisted of the formation of our business plan and identification of our target market. Our business plan anticipates that if we receive permission to erect and operate a beach shack in 2010, our sales will begin in November 2010, the start of the tourist season in Goa. Otherwise, we do not anticipate commencing operations until November of 2011.
Currently, our President devotes approximately five hours a week to the Company. We will require the funds from this offering in order to fully implement our business plan as discussed in the "Plan of Operation" section of this prospectus. We have been issued a "substantial doubt" going concern opinion from our auditors and our only asset is our cash balance of $18,993, which was generated from the issuance of shares to our sole officer and director, less costs incurred to date.
We plan to have trilingual servers (in English, Konkani (the native language of Goans) and Hindi) and hopefully find one server who can speak Russian.
We have not conducted any market research into the likelihood of success of our operations or the acceptance of our products or services by the public. We are relying on the experience of our President, Ms. Maria Fernandes, who will be initially devoting approximately five hours a week of her time to our operations. Once we begin operations, and are able to attract clients to use our services, Ms. Fernandes has agreed to commit more time as required.
If we are unsuccessful in securing permission from Department of Tourism to operate a beach shack in 2010, we will drastically reduce our operations and apply again in 2011.
Overview of Goa
Goa is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, receiving over 2.5 million tourists every year from all parts of the world. In particular, it is a popular vacation destination for residents of the northern hemisphere during the winter months. Although Goa is a melting pot of eastern and western cultures, it was a Portuguese colony for over four centuries and the Portuguese rule left its imprint everywhere. There still is a Mediterranean atmosphere in the towns with their red-tiled roofs, narrow streets and fishing villages surrounded by coconut groves.
Goa's natural boundaries, the Arabian Sea and the mountains, historically had sheltered it from much of India's inland turmoil, while its strategic location on the newly discovered trade route to the East made it even more attractive. Located between the hills of the Western Ghats on the East, Arabian Sea to the West, Maharashtra's coastline to the North, and Karnataka's coastline to the South, this tiny territory covers 1350 square miles with a population of 1.5 million.
Beaches of Goa
Goa's beaches are strung along its 60-mile coastline, which borders the Arabian Sea. An unbroken four-mile crescent of sand marks the twin beaches of Candolin and Calangute, north of Panjim and the Aguada headland. Tourist literature often refers to Calangute as the 'Queen' of Goa's beaches. Baga, a little further north, is considered a better beach and a more relaxed place to stay. Baga has a concentration of resorts, hotels, beach huts, bars, restaurants and souvenir stalls. In South Goa, there are the Colva and the Benaulim beaches. The Dona Paula, Vagator and Chapora beaches are also tourist destinations.
Beaches shacks of Goa
Beach shacks, one of the unique aspects of Goa's tourism industry, have contributed a lot to make Goa one of India's hottest tourist destinations. The origin of Goa's shacks dated back to the 1960's when hippies visited this coastal land of India. They were basically temporary huts, built by the fishermen residing in the nearby coastal areas. Gradually, these beach shacks turned into a family business form. They used to provide shelter, as well as Goan meals cooked by the fisherman's family.
These beach shacks have evolved into one of the most significant tourist zones of Goa. With the onset of dawn, activities in these shacks began and last until the late night. Here, the day starts with breakfast and ends with the dinner with sounds of Goan music and sea. Beach shacks now provide a range of services in terms of multi-cuisine food, snacks and drinks. These shacks are the ideal options to taste various kinds of seafoods prepared from shellfish, lobster and crab in typical Goan style. Also, some shacks provide a barbecue dinner on the white, silvery sands. These shacks provide its visitors an opportunity to enjoy their own personal favorite music while sipping a bottle of feni, a local brew.
15
Beach shacks are equipped with beach beds, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and masseurs. Beach shacks generally start operations with the beginning of the tourist season from November until April. The shacks have the panoramic view of the blue sea and silvery white sand beaches of Goa. Most beach shacks have a discotheque or music parties in the evenings. A few beach shacks, especially at Calangute, Baga and Colva, provide accommodations to tourists.
The shacks can be distinguished from restaurants as follows.
·
The location of shacks on the beach — just above the high tide line on public space.
·
The temporary nature of shacks, which are on the beach only during the tourist season from November to April and cater mainly to tourist.
·
The structure of shacks, which have a rustic appearance. They are built of organic material such as wood, bamboo and matted leaves
·
Shacks serve food and drinks on the beach itself.
·
Shacks relieve tourists from the heat and the sun as they are the only structures on the beach.
·
The food served in the shacks is said to be inexpensive and fresh. The food is priced more competitively in shacks as they have less overhead than restaurants and hotels.
·
Being adaptable, shacks are quick to change in response to changes in demand. For instance, in North Goa, shacks cater to younger tourists with a more active night life of parties and discos. This adaptability may be attributed to the type of ownership and having close kin among the staff.
The domestic tourists and the international tourists experience the beach differently. For the domestic tourists, the beach, the water and the popularity of the place, are of greater relative importance, while for the international tourists, being on the beach and feeling the water, the sand and sun are what the experience is about. Hence, the international tourists spend far more time on the beach and at beach shacks as compared to the domestic tourists.

Beach shack application and license
Beach shacks in India need to be licensed as the beach is a public area. The government, through the Department of Tourism, grants a temporary license to allow shack owners to set up beach shacks in the tourist season.
The allocation of shack licenses has become a controversial issue, as there is much profit to be had from them. The High Court in Goa has directed the state government to allot licenses in an impartial manner. In response, the state government has started allotting licenses on the basis of a lottery system.
The closer a shack is to the hotel, the more is its business potential. The location allotted to the shacks is also determined by lots. It is the location factor that has resulted in shacks getting clustered more at the beach access points and close to hotels.
If we are unsuccessful in securing permission from Department of Tourism in 2010, we will drastically reduce our operations and apply again in 2011.
Our cost for application form is Indian rupees 2,000/- (US$45). Permission fees for seasonal shack is Indian rupees 20,000/- (USS445). These are non-refundable.

Existing Government Regulations
Besides the licensing requirements discussed above, we will require liquor licenses, approval from the Health Department, approval from the Directorate of Food, Drugs and Administration, approval and connection from the Electricity Department, approval from the Directorate of Fire Services, approval from the Department of Commercial Taxes and from the Police Department. All these approvals are coordinated with the Tourism Department.
Culture and Cuisine of Goa
A meeting of cultures produced the modern-day Goan cuisine. Alongside tandoori, rice and dal, Goan restaurants offer chourisso (pickled pig's liver cooked in vinegar with tamarind) and vindalho (spicy pork). Chilies and cashew nuts were introduced by the Portuguese, and plantains were brought from Africa. Goans use many coconut sauces.
Goan folklore consists of folk songs, dances, music, visual arts and folktales. Many old-time taverns in Panaji have background music, traditional or otherwise. Much Goan music is derived from Portuguese love songs, but many musicians have also taken to hard rock and many work the nightclub circuit of India's big cities.
16
Languages of Goa
Goa is a multilingual state thanks to its history, which has seen people of various regions, ethnic races and religions from India and abroad settling in Goa and influencing the local language. Konkani is the native language of Goans, while Marathi also is widely spoken.
In major towns, English is widely used in writing and conversation. Portuguese, the language of the colonial rulers and the official language of Goa until 1961, failed to make a permanent dent in Goan language use. Only a small percentage of the older generation still speaks Portuguese.
Brief History of Goa
Over the centuries, various dynasties have ruled Goa: Rashtrakutas, Kadambas, Silaharas, Chalukyas, Bahamani Muslims and, most famously, the Portuguese. Hindu and Catholic communities make up almost the entire population with minority representation of Muslims and other religions.
After more than four centuries of Portuguese rule, Goa was liberated by the Indian Army on December 19, 1961 and became a union territory. On May 30, 1987, Goa was conferred statehood and became the 25th state of the Indian Republic.
Our Principal Products and Services
Beach Shack
We intend to apply and then operate a beach shack on the beaches on Goa, India in 2010. A beach shack is like a temporary restaurant and we intend to serve food and beverages during the tourist season
We also plan to form relationships with tour operators and we will refer our clients to their services for commission from the operator.
If we are unsuccessful in securing permission from Department of Tourism in the current year, we will drastically reduce our operations and apply again in 2011. We intend to expand our operations as our personnel and finances allow in order to operate multiple beach shacks on the various beaches of Goa over time. However, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in expanding operations.
Marketing Strategy
Our strategy is as follows:
·
We intend to advertise at nearby hotels and resorts. We intend to pay commission to the hotels and resorts;
·
We also will form alliances with tour operators and taxis who will drop off their customers to our shack;
·
Our staff will approach tourists to patronize our shack. This is predominating manner for all shacks.
·
We hope to attract repeat customers in the following tourist seasons.
Competition and Competitive Strategy
We expect to face significant competition from other beach shacks in the vicinity. Most returning tourists return to the shacks with which they have become familiar. All licenses to operate a shack are for one season and therefore there may be new operators and these will have to build a clientele. Goa receives a large number of tourists during the season and most shacks operate at capacity. We also intend to develop strategic alliances with smaller hotels and resorts that do not have their own shacks.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to secure a license to operate beach shacks and if granted we cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively because we have not yet begun operations. We do not have a competitive position relative to these other companies. Once we launch operations, we hope to compete on the basis of price, quality and personalized service. Our operations and our ability to generate revenues will be harmed if we are unable to establish a reputation as a provider of quality services.
Currently, our competitive position within the industry is negligible in light of the fact that we have not started our operations.
17
Subsidiaries
Since we are proposing to do business in India, we intend to operate our business in India through an Indian incorporated subsidiary. We plan to acquire a shell incorporated company immediately after the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.
Sources and Availability of Products and Supplies
Although we currently have no customers, we believe that with our President's industry experience and connections will enable us to develop the various aspects of the business. Ms. Fernandes has experience with the travel industry and also experience in arranging promotion and marketing packages.
We believe there are no constraints on the sources or availability of products and supplies related to the development of our constructing and operating a beach shack.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
Although we currently have no customers, we believe that, because of the potentially broad base of customers for our services, we will not rely on one or few major customers.
Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions
There are no inherent factors or circumstances associated with this industry, or any of the products or services that we expect to be providing that would give rise to any patent, trademark or license infringements or violations. We have not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to obligations or concessions.
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks, nor do we intend to apply for any in the near future.
Governmental and Industry Regulations
We will be subject to federal and state laws and regulations that relate directly or indirectly to our operations including federal securities laws. We will also be subject to common business and tax rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of our business.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We have not spent any funds on research and development activities to date.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
Our operations are not subject to any environmental laws.
Facilities
We do not own or rent facilities of any kind. We plan to conduct our operations from the office of our President who provides this space to us free of charge.
Employees
We have commenced only limited operations, and therefore currently have no employees other than our sole officer and director, who spends approximately five hours a week on our business. Upon start of operation, our President will devote 60 hours per week and we will retain approximately seven seasonally employed, full-time servers, cooks and cleaners.
Reports to Stockholders
We are not currently a reporting company, but upon effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, we will be required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

You may obtain copies of these reports from the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or on the SEC's website, at www.sec.gov. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
We will also make these reports available on our website if we decide to develop a website.
Description of Property
We do not currently own any property. We are currently operating out of the premises of our President, on a rent-free basis during our development stage. We consider our current principal office space arrangement adequate. Upon receipt of license to operate a beach shack, we will build a temporary shack which is mantled when season is over (April 15).

Nor do we have an audit committee "financial expert." As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee and handles matters related to compensation and nominations of directors.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our sole director, who is also our sole executive officer. Thus, there is an inherent conflict of interest.
Director Independence
As of the date of this Registration Statement filed on Form S-1, we have no independent directors.
The Company has developed the following categorical standards for determining the materiality of relationships that the Directors may have with the Company. A Director shall not be deemed to have a material relationship with the Company that impairs the Director's independence as a result of any of the following relationships:

To enable the Board to evaluate each non-management Director, in advance of the meeting at which the review occurs, each non-management Director shall provide the Board with full information regarding the Director's business and other relationships with the Company, its affiliates and senior management.
Directors must inform the Board whenever there are any material changes in their circumstances or relationships that could affect their independence, including all business relationships between a Director and the Company, its affiliates, or members of senior management, whether or not such business relationships would be deemed not to be material under any of the categorical standards set forth above. Following the receipt of such information, the Board shall re-evaluate the Director's independence.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than the sole executive officer described above.

Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of May 19, 2010 for our sole officer and director. There is no other person or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our business that reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors beginning on page 5, that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Overview
We are a development stage company and have not commenced operations or generated or realized any revenues.
Because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we implement our business plan, our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital.
We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to begin operations but we cannot assure you that we will stay in business after our operations have commenced. If we are unable to successfully negotiate strategic alliances with purveyors of services to enable us to offer these services to our clients, or if we are unable to attract enough clients to utilize our services, we may quickly use up the proceeds from this offering and will need to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officer or others in order for us to maintain our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
Results of Operations
From Inception on May 19, 2010 to May 31, 2010
We have not generated any revenues since our inception on May 19, 2010. During the period from inception to May 31, 2010, our operating expenses were primarily comprised of professional fees of $400. We currently anticipate that our legal and accounting fees will increase over the next 12 months as a result of becoming a reporting company with the SEC, and will be approximately $10,500. We have prepared an internal business plan. We have not started our proposed business operations and do not expect to do so until approximately 180 days after we have completed this offering.
Since inception, we sold 3,800,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director for $19,000.
Activities to Date
A substantial portion of our activities to date has involved developing a business plan. Our President has met government official regarding our forthcoming application for operating a beach shack. Ms. Fernandes has spent time at her sister's beach shack at Colva, Goa (Seaview Shack) to gain knowledge of regulations, shack construction and operation of a beach shack.
Plan of Operation
We are a development stage company with no operations, no revenues, no financial backing and few assets. We are in the process of establishing a beach shack business.
We have not yet developed our applied with Department of Tourism for erection of a temporary shack. We intend to apply after we have raised the required $16,000.
24
The first stage of our business plan is to review the sites that are available for bidding and determine whether potential sites would be suitable. We will review the proximity of potential locations to Ms. Fernandes' residence, to hotels, to vehicles access (both two and four wheeler), water availability, electricity connections and main gate to the beach. We will also access the availability of building material and skilled labor, appliances and experienced servers who speak at least English and Hindi. We will develop a design plan for the shack. We expect the review to take approximately two to four months. The initial cost will be $200. We plan to apply in September 2010 for the permit. If we are unsuccessful in securing permission from Department of Tourism in 2010, we will drastically reduce our operations and apply again in 2011.
If we are successful in obtaining permit at desired location, we will commence the purchase of building material and appliances. We anticipate the cost for the development and purchasing will be approximately $9,000. During the construction stage, we will commence recruitment of staff, servers, cooks, and cleaner/maintenance.
We also plan to develop a colorful print brochure which will highlight our shack. These print brochures will be given to travel agents, hotels, resorts and taxi drivers.
Our complete budget for the first stage of our business plan is as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| Proceeds to us | $32,000 |
| Cash on hand | 18,993 |
| Total | $50,993 |
| | |
| Legal Counsel and Auditor | $17,000 |
| Shack applications fees and construction | 9,000 |
| Brochures, Marketing and Promotion | 2,000 |
| Office and Administrative | 6,000 |
| Expansion Costs | $16,000 |
| Miscellaneous Administrative Expenses | 993 |
| Total | $50,993 |
We do not expect to realize any revenues during the first six months of operations, which are not expected to commence until late fall of 2010, when the Goan tourist season commences. Our revenue will be generated from fees paid by customers for services, as well as commissions from the operators of various tour destinations for introducing them to our customers. Expansion costs refer to expenses that we would incur by expanding our operations to include an additional beach shack in the second year of operations. Our expansion plan may include additional beach shacks in the Goa region if we are successful in generating substantial profit from our first year of operations or if we are able to raise additional funds. However, there is no guarantee that we will either be successful in our operations or that we will be able to raise additional funds. We do not have any arrangements in this regard.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Limited operating history and need for additional capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in the development stage of our operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
To become profitable and competitive, we have to locate and negotiate agreements with service providers to allow us to represent them for a percentage-based commission. We then have to locate clients to book those services through us. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our operations.
We cannot assure you that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Going Concern Consideration
The report of our independent registered accounting firm raises concern about our ability to continue as a going concern based on the absence of an established source of revenue, recurring losses from operations, and our need for additional financing in order to fund our operations in 2010. Please see footnote 1 to our financial statements for additional information.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We have not had any changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. Chang G. Park, CPA, has served as our accounting firm since our inception.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We are not subject to the corporate governance rules of any securities exchange or securities association, because our securities are not traded on any exchange. We have no audit, nominating or compensation committees. As a small business, we do not have the resources to engage additional individuals to perform these functions. Our sole director performs these functions. When seeking nominees to serve as director, our sole director will evaluate the candidacy of an individual based on his or her educational attainments, his or her relevant experience and professional stature. Our sole director also performs the function of the audit committee by overseeing the quality and integrity of the financial reporting practices of the Company.
Organization Within Last Five Years
We were organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2010 to engage in the operation of beach front eating establishments on the beaches on Goa, India that are commonly referred to as "beach shacks". At that time we appointed Maria Fernandes as sole director, President and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with our organization, we have issued 3,800,000 shares of common stock to Ms. Fernandes for cash proceeds of $19,000.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
The Nevada General Corporation Law requires us to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent l egal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
26
The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.
According to Article 11 of our Bylaws, we are authorized to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized under Nevada law subject to certain specified limitations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lisboa Leisure, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Lisboa Leisure, Inc. (A Development Stage Company, the "Company") as of May 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period from May 19, 2010 (inception) through May 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lisboa Leisure, Inc. as of May 31, 2010 and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the period from May 19, 2010 (inception) through May 31, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LISBOA LEISURE, INC. |
(A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2010 |
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Lisboa Leisure. Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 19, 2010 ("Inception") and is in the development stage. The Company was formed to become an operator of a beach shack in the State of Goa, India.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 915, the Company is considered to be in the development stage. Its activities to date have been limited to capital formation, organization and development of its business plan. The Company has not commenced operations.
2. GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $407 as at May 31, 2010 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and/or the private placement of common stock.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company has elected a May 31, year end.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Due to the limited level of operations, the Company has not had to make material assumptions or estimates other than the assumption that the Company is a going concern.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate expenses. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of net income (loss). The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Revenue
The Company's revenues will be derived principally by operating a beach shack, like a restaurant, to tourists in Goa, India. The Company has generated no revenues to date. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants using the treasury method. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation is computed using the fair value method of valuing stock options and other equity-based compensation issued. The Company has not granted any stock options since its inception. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation has been recorded.
Income Taxes
A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
At May 31, 2010 a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-09, "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements" ("ASU 2010-09"), which is included in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "ASC") Topic 855 (Subsequent Events). ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2010-09 is effective upon the issuance of the final update and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
4. CAPITAL STOCK
The total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 75,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.
During the period ended May 31, 2010, the Company issued 3,800,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $19,000 to the Company's sole director and officer.
At May 31, 2010, there were no outstanding stock options or warrants.

5. INCOME TAXES
As of May 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $407 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2030. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The components of the deferred tax asset, the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below:
| | | |
| | | |
| | | May 31, 2010 |
| | | |
Net Operating Loss Carry-over | | | $ 407 |
Statutory Tax Rate | | | 34% |
| | | |
| | | |
Deferred Tax Asset | | | 138 |
Valuation Allowance | | | $ (138) |
| | | |
Net Deferred Tax Asset | | | – |
The Company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets given that it is in the exploration stage and there is substantial uncertainty as to the Company's ability to realize future tax benefits through utilization of operating loss carry forwards.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. Ms. Maria Fernandes, sole officer and director of the Company, will provide the Company with use of office space and services free of charge. The Company's sole officer and director is involved in other business activities and may in the future, become involved in other business opportunities as they become available. Thus she may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and her other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
Ms. Fernandes, sole officer and director of the Company, will not be paid for any underwriting services that she performs on behalf of the Company with respect to the Company's upcoming S-1 offering. She will also not receive any interest on any funds that she advances to the Company for offering expenses prior to the offering being closed which will be repaid from the proceeds of the offering.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after May 31, 2010 up through date the Company issued these financial statements. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Bylaws.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its stockholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit the directors' immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with us or our stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law, or (d) is required to be made pursuant to our Bylaws.
Our Bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at the request of us as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our Bylaws or otherwise.
Our Bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to our officers except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was our director in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.
Item 15.
Recent sales of unregistered securities
Set forth below is information regarding the issuance and sales of securities without registration since inception. No such sales involved the use of an underwriter; no advertising or public solicitation was involved; the securities bear a restrictive legend; and no commissions were paid in connection with the sale of any securities.
29
We have sold securities within the past three years without registering the securities under the Securities Act of 1933 on one occasion:
On May 19, 2010, the Company issued a total of 3,800,000 shares of common stock to Ms. Maria Fernandes for cash at $0.005 per share for a total of $19,000 . This sale was completed pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.
Regulation S Compliance
For the above offering, we relied upon the following facts to make the Regulation S exemption available:
Each offer or sale was made in an offshore transaction;
Neither we, a distributor, any respective affiliates, nor any person on behalf of any of the foregoing, made any directed selling efforts in the United States;
Offering restrictions were, and are, implemented;
No offer or sale was made to a U.S. person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person;
Each purchaser of the securities certifies that it was not a U.S. person and was not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person;
Each purchaser of the securities agreed to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance with the Act;
The securities contain a legend to the effect that transfer is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and that hedging transactions involving those securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act; and
We are required, either by contract or a provision in its bylaws, articles, charter or comparable document, to refuse to register any transfer of the securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; provided, however, that if any law of any Canadian province prevents us from refusing to register securities transfers, other reasonable procedures, such as a legend described in paragraph (b)(3)(iii)(B)(3) of Regulation S have been implemented to prevent any transfer of the securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S.
Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
Exhibits
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
30
(iii) To include material information on the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of a ppropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
5. For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) we shall treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by us under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective. For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, we shall treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
(ii) we shall treat each prospectus filed by us pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) as part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(iii) we shall treat each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statement relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or mad e in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
