PROSPECTUS
Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation
Minimum 1,500,000 – Maximum 2,500,000 Shares of Common Stock / $0.01 per share
Under the 419 registration, Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation sold 2,200,000 shares at a price of $0.01 per share to 25 investors.
The proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering were payable to Underhill Securities Corp. for the benefit of Continental Alloy Wheel Corp.
All subscription funds and the securities to be issued to investors (the “Deposited Funds” and “Deposited Securities,” respectively), will be held in a separate bank account established by Underhill Securities Corp., a registered broker/dealer maintaining net capital equal to or exceeding $25,000, in which Underhill Securities Corp. acts as trustee for persons having the beneficial interests in the account. All Deposited Funds and Deposited Securities will be held for the sole benefit of the purchasers, and the books and records of Underhill Securities Corp. will indicate the name, address and interest of each person for whom the account is held. While held in the trust account, the Deposited Securities may not be traded or transferred. Except for an amount up to 10% of the Deposited Funds otherwise releasable under Rule 419, the Deposited Funds and the Deposited Securities may not be released until an acquisition meeting certain specified criteria has been consummated and 80% of investors reconfirm their investment in accordance with the procedures ser forth in Rule 419. Pursuant to these procedures, this new prospectus, which describes an acquisition candidate and its business and includes audited financial statements, will be delivered to all investors. The Company must return the pro rata portion of the Deposited Funds to any investor who does not elect to remain an investor. Unless 80% of investors elect to remain investors, all investors will be entitled to the return of a pro rata portion of the Deposited Funds (minus up to 10% which may be release to the registrant under Rule 419) and none of the Deposited Securities will be issued to investors. In the event an acquisition is not consummated by a date 18 months after the effective date of the initial registration statement, the Deposited Funds will be returned on a pro rata basis to all investors.

We are a development stage company, which currently has no operations and has not generated any revenue. Therefore, any investment involves a high degree of risk. The Company plans to have its stock quoted on the OTCBB. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, an authorized market maker must file a Form 211 application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operated the OTCBB, nor can there by any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. .
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our ordinary shares involves risks. SEE RISK FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE 10.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

On July 22, 2013, CAWC entered into an Exchange Agreement with Starpoint to exchange 1,000 newly issued shares of CAWC for 10,000 shares of the Acquisition Candidate, representing 100% of the outstanding shares of the Acquisition Candidate. At the closing of the Exchange Agreement (which is contingent upon a 80% reconfirmation vote under Rule 419), the Acquisition Candidate will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAWC and CAWC will acquire the business and operations of the Acquisition Candidate. The Exchange Agreement, which contains customary representations, warranties, and conditions, is filed with this post-effective amendment no.2 Exhibit 10.2.

SUMMARY INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus ("Prospectus"). Each prospective investor is urged to read this Prospectus, and the attached Exhibits, in their entirety.
QUOTATION ON OTCBB
CAWC plans to have its stock quoted on the OTCBB. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, an authorized market maker must file a Form 211 application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there by any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained.
CONTINENTAL ALLOY WHEEL CORPORATION
Business Overview
CAWC was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 28, 2010 by Andrew J. Befumo, the initial director, for the purpose of creating a corporation that could be used to consummate a merger or acquisition. Mr. Befumo serves as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director, and currently owns 82 % of CAWC’s outstanding common shares. Following CAWC’s formation, Mr. Befumo determined next to proceed with filing a Form S-1. CAWC has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date.
Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt about CAWC’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of July 22, 2013 , CAWC has $542 in cash on hand. CAWC’s net loss for the period of December 28, 2010 (inception) to March 31, 2013 was $43,920.
Mr. Befumo, the President and Director, elected to commence implementation of our principal business purpose, described below under "Plan of Operation." As such, we can be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Company will utilize word of mouth to locate a merger or acquisition candidate. The Company must consummate a merger or acquisition by a date 18 months after the effective date of the initial registration statement or refund investors funds as described herein. It is anticipated that the most likely consideration for such merger or acquisition will be in common stock of the Company.
The proposed business activities described herein classify us as a "blank check" company. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein. Accordingly, the current shareholder of the Company has executed and delivered a "lock-up" letter agreement, affirming his/her ownership in his/her respective shares of the Company's common stock until such time as the Company has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and the Company is no longer classified as a "blank check" company. In order to provide further assurances that no trading will occur in the Company's securities until a merger or acquisition has been consummated, the current shareholder has agreed to place his/her respective certificates in an escrow account until such time as a merger or acquisition has been successfully consummated. However, while we believe that the procedures established to preclude any sale of our securities prior to closing of a merger or acquisition will be sufficient, there can be no assurances that the procedures established herein will unequivocally limit any shareholder to sell their respective securities before such closing.
The maximum offering proceeds may not be sufficient capital to acquire an operating business thus the Company may require future stock sales and/or possible debt.
As of the date of this Prospectus, CAWC has 12,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding,
CAWC’s corporate offices are located at 1629 K Street, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20006, with a telephone number of (202) 973-0186. CAWC currently shares office space with Befumo & Schaeffer, PLLC and Befumo & Schaeffer, PLLC provides the office space at no cost to CAWC.
CAWC’s fiscal year end is December 31.
THE OFFERING
In August 2012, CAWC sold 2,200,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 25 individual investors. The gross offering proceeds received to date are $22,000. There was zero dollars paid for underwriting commissions, underwriting expenses and dealer allowances. None of the offering proceeds have been disbursed to CAWC to date, directly or indirectly. The amount remaining in the trust account is $22,000.
The reconfirmation offer must commence within five (5) business days after the effective date of this post-effective amendment. Pursuant to Rule 419, the terms of the reconfirmation offer must include the following conditions:
(i) | Within 5 business days after the effective date of the post-effective amendment, the registrant shall send by first class mail or other equally prompt means, to each purchaser of securities held in trust, a copy of the prospectus contained in the post-effective amendment and any amendment or supplement thereto; |
(ii) | Each purchaser shall have no fewer than 20 business days and no more than 45 business days from the effective date of the post-effective amendment to notify the registrant in writing that the purchaser elects to remain an investor. If the registrant has not received such written notification by the 45 th business day following the effective date of the post-effective amendment, funds held in the trust account shall be sent by first class mail or other equally prompt means to the purchaser within 5 business days. |
(iii) | The acquisition meeting the criteria set forth in herein (80% of the fair market value of the offering) will be consummated if a sufficient number of purchasers (holders of 80% of the shares purchased) confirm their investments; and |
(iv) | If a consummated acquisition meeting the requirements of this section has not occurred by a date 18 months after the effective date of the initial registration statement, funds held in the trust account shall be returned by first class mail or equally prompt means to the purchaser within 5 business days following that date. |
The trust funds cannot be released until:
1. | The trustee has received a signed representation from the registrant, together with other evidence acceptable to the trustee, that the requirements of paragraph i, ii and iii above have been met; and |
2. | Consummation of an acquisition meeting the requirements of paragraph iii above. |
Each investor will have no fewer than 20, and no more than 45, business days from the effective date of the post-effective amendment to notify CAWC in writing that the investor elects to remain an investor. Within five business days after the effective date of this post-effective amendment, the Company shall send by first class mail to each investor a copy of the prospectus contained in this post-effective amendment.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in CAWC securities involves certain risks and is suitable only for investors of substantial financial means. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, before making an investment decision concerning the common stock.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CAWC
SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR MAY HINDER OPERATIONS. CAWC’s operations depend solely on the efforts of Andrew J. Befumo, the sole officer and director of the Company. Mr. Befumo has no experience related to public company management, nor as a principal accounting officer. Because of this, we may be unable to develop our business or manage our public reporting requirements. We cannot guarantee that we will be able overcome any such obstacles.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR WILL CONTINUE TO OWN A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUR STOCK OTHER INVESTORS WILL HAVE MINIMAL INFLUENCE OVER OUR BUSINESS. Andrew Befumo, CAWC’s sole officer and director, currently owns 82 % of CAWC outstanding common stock, and will continue to own 82% of CAWC common stock after CAWC’s acquisition of Starpoint. As a result, he will have significant influence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. His large stake in our company could also affect the market price of our common stock by, for example, delaying, deferring or preventing a change in corporate control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF BUSINESS. Andrew J. Befumo is a practicing attorney and may become involved in other employment opportunities and therefore, may periodically face a conflict in selecting between us and other personal and professional interests. While Mr. Befumo currently has no conflicts in regards to acting as our sole officer and director, in the event that a conflict of interest arises with respect to one of Mr. Befumo’s clients he may be forced to resign. If we lose Andrew J. Befumo to other pursuits without a sufficient warning, we may, consequently, go out of business.
LACK OF BLANK CHECK EXPERIENCE MAY LIMIT BUSINESS COMBINATIONS OR RESULT IN POOR ANALYSIS. Our officer has not served as an officer or director of a development stage company with the business purpose of acquiring a target business. His inexperience may affect his ability to adequately evaluate and successfully consummate the proposed acquisition of Starpoint.
RULE 419 LIMITATIONS MAY LIMIT BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. Rule 419 generally requires that the securities to be issued and the funds received in a blank check offering be deposited and held in a trust account until an acquisition meeting specified criteria is completed. Before the acquisition can be completed and before the funds and securities can be released, the issuer in a blank check offering is required to update its registration statement with a post-effective amendment. After the effective date of any such post-effective amendment, we are required to furnish investors with the prospectus produced thereby containing information, including audited financial statements, regarding the proposed acquisition candidate and its business. Investors must be given no fewer than 20 and no more than 45 business days from the effective date of the post-effective amendment to decide to remain investors or require the return of their investment funds. Any investor not making a decision within said period is automatically to receive a return of his investment funds.
Although investors may request the return of their investment funds in connection with the reconfirmation offering required by Rule 419, the Company's shareholders will not be afforded an opportunity specifically to approve or disapprove any particular transaction involving the purchase of Shares from management.
PROHIBITION TO SELL OR OFFER TO SELL SHARES IN TRUST ACCOUNT MAY LIMIT LIQUIDITY. According to Rule 15g-8 as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), it shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer to sell Shares (or any interest in or related to the Shares) held in the Rule 419 trust account other than pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. As a result, contracts for sale to be satisfied by delivery of the Deposited Securities (e.g., contracts for sale on a when, as, and if issued basis) are prohibited.
DISCRETIONARY USE OF PROCEEDS; "BLANK CHECK" OFFERING LEADS TO UNCERTAINTY AS TO FUTURE BUSINESS SUCCESS. As a result of management's broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of th e company’s Offering, the Offering can be characterized as a "blank check" offering. Although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be applied toward effecting the proposed Business Combination, such proceeds are not otherwise being designated for any more specific purposes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by us relating to the specific allocation of the net proceeds of the offering will permit us to achieve our business objectives or those of the Acquisition Candidate .
REGULATIONS CONCERNING "BLANK CHECK" ISSUERS MAY LIMIT BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. The ability to register or qualify for sale the Shares for both initial sale and secondary trading is limited because a number of states have enacted regulations pursuant to their securities or "blue sky" laws restricting or, in some instances, prohibiting, the sale of securities of "blank check" issuers, such as us, within that state. In addition, many states, while not specifically prohibiting or restricting "blank check" companies, may not register the Shares for sale in their states. Because of such regulations and other restrictions, our selling efforts, and any secondary market which may develop, may only be conducted in those jurisdictions where an applicable exemption is available or a blue sky application has been filed and accepted or where the Shares have been registered.
NO OPERATING HISTORY OR REVENUE AND MINIMAL ASSETS RESULTS IN NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS. We have no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations. Neither CAWC nor the Acquisition Candidate have significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood continue to sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues. This may result in us incurring a net operating loss, which will increase continuously until we can become profitable . Because the Merger Candidate also has no significant operating history, revenues, or earnings from operations, there is no assurance that consummation of the proposed acquisition will result in our success.
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF OUR PROPOSED OPERATIONS RESULTS IN NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS. The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. In the event we complete the proposed acquisition of Starpoint, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of Starpoint and numerous other factors beyond our control.
NO ACTIVE TRADING MARKET MAY MEAN THE SHARES ARE ILLIQUID. The Company plans to have its stock quoted on the OTCBB. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, an authorized market maker must file a Form 211 application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained.
UP TO 10% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING MAY BE RELEASED TO THE COMPANY UPON COMPLETION OF THE OFFERING AND THEREFORE MAY NOT BE RETURNED TO INVESTORS. In the event that CAWC fails to complete a business combination, the investors shall receive a pro-rata share of the investment funds. Because up to 10% of the proceeds from the Offering may be released to the Company upon completion of the Offering, investors may receive back less than the total amount of their investment in the event that a business combination is not completed within 18 months of the closing of the Offering.
CONTINUED MANAGEMENT CONTROL, LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY MAY LIMIT BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. Mr. Befumo anticipates devoting between 10 to 20 hours per month to CAWC’s business. Our officer has not entered into written employment agreements with us and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. We have not obtained key man life insurance on our officer and director. Notwithstanding the combined limited experience and time commitment of our officer and director, loss of the service of this individual would adversely affect our development of our business and its likelihood of continuing operations. See "MANAGEMENT."
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST – MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF BUSINESS. CAWC’s officer and director may in the future participate in other business ventures, which compete directly with us. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future in the event our officer and directors is involved in the management of any firm with which we transact business. There is no plan to complete a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which our management serve as officer, director or partner, or in which he or his family members own or hold any ownership interest.
FAILURE TO REGISTER A CLASS OF SECURITIES MAY HAVE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS. CAWC intends to register its common shares under the Exchange Act. In the event that we do not register a class of securities under the Exchange Act , or in the event that we do not maintain such registration, our periodic disclosure requirements will be discontinued, and proxy rules and section 16 of the Exchange Act will no longer be applicable. The inapplicability of these rules and requirements would be detrimental to your right to receive important information, including, but not limited to, financial information of the company, securities holdings of affiliates and owners of more that 10% of the company, as well as important information in advance of our annual meeting. Furthermore, the inapplicability of these rules and requirements may have a material adverse effect on the value and liquidity of our securities.
OUR AUDITORS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION REFLECTING THAT WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY CONTINUING OPERATIONS. CAWC’s auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might reduce the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
We lack an operating history and have losses that we expect to continue into the future. There is no assurance our future operations will result in profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.
CAWC SHARES ARE CONSIDERED PENNY STOCKS WHICH LIMITS THEIR LIQUIDITY. Because the Securities and Exchange Commission imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of the shares to decline.
CAWC’s shares are classified as penny stocks (and will continue to be classified as penny stocks after acquisition of Starpoint) and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder which impose additional sales practice requirements on brokers/dealers who sell our securities. For sales of CAWC securities, the broker or dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale for you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in CAWC shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION MAY LIMIT FUTURE BUSINESS. CAWC’s activities will be limited to those engaged in by the business opportunity which we merge with or acquire. CAWC’s inability to diversify our activities into a number of areas may subject us to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations.
POSSIBLE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT REGULATION MAY INCREASE COSTS. Although CAWC is subject to regulation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, we believe we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as CAWC will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event that a business combination with Starpoint results in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, CAWC could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, CAWC would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. CAWC has obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to our status under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject CAWC to material adverse consequences.
BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS’ SHARES IN THE COMPANY MAY BE DILUTED. CAWC has an authorized capital of 75,000,000 common shares. Currently, over 80% of the CAWC’s common stock remains authorized but unissued. The authorized but unissued common stock may be issued in an acquisition or in other transactions. The issuance of our authorized but unissued common stock may have a substantial dilutive effect on the CAWC’s existing stockholders. Furthermore, the issuance of a large number of the CAWC’s authorized shares may result in a change of control or management.
BLUE SKY CONSIDERATIONS MAY LIMIT SALES IN CERTAIN STATES. Because the none of CAWC’s securities have been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, and we have no current plans to register or qualify our shares in any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky restrictions upon new investors to purchase the securities which could reduce the size of the potential market. As a result of recent changes in federal law, non-issuer trading or resale of our securities is exempt from state registration or qualification requirements in most states. However, some states may continue to attempt to restrict the trading or resale of blind-pool or "blank-check" securities. Accordingly, investors should consider any potential secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES AND HAVE NO SOURCES OF REVENUE. CAWC is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. While CAWC’s sole officer and director has agreed to advance funds as necessary, there is no written agreement between CAWC and our sole officer and director regarding advancing funds to the Company. In the event that CAWC’s sole officer and director does not advance sufficient funds to maintain operations, CAWC may be forced to cease operations. In the event that CAWC ceases operations you may lose some or all of your investment.
BUSINESS ANALYSIS BY NON-PROFESSIONALS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF POOR ANALYSIS. Analysis of the Acquisition Candidate’s operations will has been undertaken by our sole officer and director who is not a professional business analyst. Thus the depth of such analysis may not be as great as if undertaken by a professional, which increases the risk that a business combination with the Acquisition Candidate will be detrimental to CAWC.
ARBITRARY OFFERING PRICE MEANS SHARES MAY NOT REFLECT FAIR MARKET VALUE. The Offering price that CAWC investors paid for their securities has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relation to book value, assets, earnings, or any other objective criteria of value. There can be no assurance that, even if the proposed acquisition of Starpoint occurs, and even if a public trading market develops for our securities, the Shares will attain market values commensurate with the price that the CAWC investors paid for their shares.
NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES MAY LIMIT THE LIQUIDITY OF SHARES. There is no public market for CAWC securities, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or that investors in CAWC securities will be able to res ell their securities. . The market price of CAWC securities may be affected significantly by factors such as announcements by us or our competitors, variations in our results of operations, and market conditions in general. Movements in prices of stock may also affect the market price in general. As a result of these factors, investors may not be able to liquidate an investment in CAWC shares readily or at all.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISTION CANDIDATE
THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS MAY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT MERGER CANDIDATE’S BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. Starpoint’s business is dependent upon the ability of businesses to thrive and grow. The continued credit crisis and related turmoil in the global financial system may adversely impact Starpoint’s business and financial condition, and Starpoint may face challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not improve. The ability of the merger candidate to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when it would like, or need, to raise financing, which could have an impact Starpoint’s flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions.
WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO OPERATE MERGER CANDIDATE’S BUSINESS, AND FAILURE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL WILL HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. We require additional financing to operate Starpoint’s business. The amount required depends upon our business operations, and our ability to get and retain new clients. We may be unable to secure this additional required financing on a timely basis, under terms acceptable to us, or at all. To obtain additional financing, we will likely sell additional equity securities, which will further dilute shareholders' ownership in us. The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of other derivative securities, and issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.
We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets (both generally and in the corporate advisory sector in particular), our status as a new enterprise without a significant demonstrated operating history and/or the loss of key management. Further, If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease operations.
ACQUISITION CANDIDATE’S BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT UPON ITS SOLE OFFICER. A LOSS OF STARPOINT’S OFFICER WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. Starpoint’s business is highly dependent upon the services, knowledge and network of business contacts of Mr. Davis Cohen, Starpoint’s sole officer and director. If Mr. Cohen terminated his services with Starpoint it would have a detrimental effect on the ability of Starpoint to implement its business plan.
NEITHER ACQUISITION CANDIDATE NOR CAWC HAS PREVIOUS OPERATING HISTORY IN THE CORPORATE ADVISORY INDUSTRY, WHICH MAY RAISE SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP PROFITABLE BUSINESS OPERATIONS. Both Starpoint and CAWC have limited operating histories. The proposed merger and resulting business operations must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a business in the corporate advisory sector. Starpoint has only one client, and has not generated any significant revenues to date. There is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that Starpoint’s business operations will prove to be successful in the long-term. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including: our ability to raise adequate working capital; the level of our competition; our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees; and our ability to attract new clients.
LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION WILL INCREASE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITION CANDIDATE’S BUSINESS, AND ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY DETERIORATE IF IT FAILS TO DIVERSIFY. Starpoint’s business focuses on corporate advisory services, and it currently has a single client, and CAWC has no other business prospects. Larger companies have the ability to manage their risk by diversification. However, Starpoint lacks diversification, both in terms business scope, and a small number of clients. As a result, Starpoint will likely be impacted more acutely by factors affecting its industry or the regions in which it operates than it would if its business were more diversified. If Starpoint cannot diversify or expand its operations, our financial condition and results of operations could deteriorate.
ACQUISITION CANDIDATE FACES COMPETITION FOR A LIMITED POOL OF INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHICH MAY REDUCE ITS POTENTIAL PROFITS. There are other companies operating in a similar sector to the Starpoint, actively seeking clients in emerging markets. A number of these competitors may be substantially larger and may have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than either Starpoint or CAWC. Some of the other companies in this market may be more successful and have more experience and money than Starpoint. Competition may lead to either an over-supply of business similar to Starpoint’s, or to prices for providing services being driven down as a result of potential advisers trying to win new business. The existence of such competition may have a material adverse impact on the Starpoint’s ability to secure investment opportunities and ultimately reduce the Starpoint’s potential profits.
ACQUISITION CANDIDATE HAS A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND MAY NOT GENERATE ENOUGH REVENUES TO STAY IN BUSINESS. Starpoint was organized in June 2013 and has had limited operations since its inception from which to evaluate its business and prospects. There can be no assurance that future proposed operations will be implemented successfully or that Starpoint will ever be profitable. Starpoint’s limited financial resources are significantly less than those of its competition. If we are unable to sustain Starpoint’s operations, you may lose your entire investment. Starpoint faces all the risks inherent in a new business, including the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with conducting operations, including capital requirements and management's potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs. In evaluating Acquisition Candidate’s business and prospects, these difficulties should be considered. If Starpoint is unable to achieve profitability CAWC may be forced to curtail operations and go out of business.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Without realizing the offering proceeds, CAWC will not be able to commence planned operations and implement its business plan. Please refer to the section, herein, titled "Management's Discussion and Plan of Operation" for further information.
CAWC intends to use the proceeds from this offering as follows:
| | $22,000 Raised in Offering | |
Application of Proceeds | | | $ | | | % of total | |
Total Offering Proceeds | | $ | 22,000 | | | | 100.00 | % |
Net Offering Proceeds | | $ | 22,000 | | | | 100.00 | % |
General Working Capital | | $ | 22,000 | | | | 100.00 | % |
Total Use of Proceeds | | $ | 22,000 | | | | 100.00 | % |
CAWC intends to use 100% of the proceeds from the Offering to merge with, or acquire a business. CAWC does not intend to use any of the proceeds to pay administrative and/or operating expenses, or for any other purpose. CAWC may withdraw up to 10% of the proceeds of th e Offering prior to the anticipated merger or business acquisition and will use these funds to pay expenses associated with the merger or business acquisition. The remaining 90% of proceeds of th e Offering will remain in trust in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 419. Expenses associated with merging with or acquiring a business include advertising, mailing and shipping for due diligence materials, payments to third party non-affiliates, including bookkeepers, auditors, transfer agents, and others performing services to effect such merger, and possible travel. To date, none of the offering proceeds have been disbursed to CAWC and the gross offering proceeds in the amount of $22,000 remain in trust with Underhill Securities Corp.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
CAWC sold 2,200,000 common shares at a price of $0.01 per share to 25 investors in the offering. The offering price of the common stock was arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business. We cannot assure you that a public market for our securities will develop or continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price.
DILUTION
Since no new shares are being issued as a result of this post-effective amendment, there will be no dilution to the current shareholders.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
There is no public market for CAWC common stock. CAWC common stock is currently held by twenty six shareholders. Therefore, the current and potential market for CAWC common stock is limited and the liquidity of our shares may be severely limited. To date, we have made no effort to obtain listing or quotation of our securities on a national stock exchange or association. We have not identified or approached any broker/dealers with regard to assisting us to apply for such listing. We are unable to estimate when we expect to undertake this endeavor or that we will be successful. In the absence of listing, no market is available for investors in our common stock to sell their shares. We cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop or that we will be able to get our common stock listed for trading.
If the stock ever becomes tradable, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at or greater than the price at which they are being offered.
Monies received by the trustee in connection with sales of our securities were deposited immediately into a trust account.
Andrew J. Befumo did not receive commissions for any sales originated on our behalf. We believe that Andrew J. Befumo was exempt from registration as a broker under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, Andrew J. Befumo:
1. was not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)39 of the Act, at the time of his or her participation; and
2. was not to be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities; and
3. was not an associated person of a broker or dealer; and
4. Met the conditions of the following:
a. Primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the o ffering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and
b. Was not a broker or dealer, or associated persons of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and
c. Did not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs within this section, except that for securities issued pursuant to rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, the 12 months shall begin with the last sale of any security included within one rule 415 registration.
Our sole officer and director, Andrew J. Befumo, did not purchase any securities in the Offering.
DEPOSIT INTO TRUST ACCOUNT
In August of 2012, Continental Alloy Wheel Corp sold 2,200,000 common shares of stock at a price of $0.01 per share. The gross offering proceeds and all securities issued (the "Deposited Funds" and "Deposited Securities," respectively) are being held in a trust account with Underhill Securities Corp., (the “Trustee”) a registered broker/dealer maintaining net capital equal to or exceeding $25,000, in which Underhill Securities Corp. acts as trustee for persons having the beneficial interests in the account. The Trustee’s duties with respect to the Deposited Funds and Deposited Securities is governed by a Trust Agreement containing certain terms and provisions specified by Rule 419, and as described below.
The proceeds from the sale of the shares in our offering were payable to Underhill Securities Corp., and the Trustee deposited the proceeds in a non-interest bearing bank account at Wells Fargo Bank, wherein neither the Company nor any subscriber will receive interest no matter how long subscriber funds might be held, and wherein the proceeds shall remain until the conditions prescribed in the Trust Agreement are met.
DEPOSIT OF SECURITIES
All securities issued in connection with the offering were deposited directly into the trust account promptly upon issuance. The identity of the purchaser of the securities was included on the stock certificates or other documents evidencing such securities.
The Deposited Securities are being held for the sole benefit of the purchasers, and the purchasers shall have voting rights with respect to Deposited Securities held in their names. The Deposited Securities may not be sold or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), or Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), or the rules thereunder.
RELEASE OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES AND DEPOSITED FUNDS
CAWC’s offering closed in August of 2012. 2,200,000 Shares were sold for offering proceeds of $22,000. The offering proceeds and securities issued to investors in the offering are held in a trust account pursuant to Rule 419.
The trust will terminate upon the happening of one of the following: 1) confirmation by Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation’s legal counsel that a reconfirmation offering has been completed and an acquisition consummated or 2) failure to complete the reconfirmation offering by a date 18 months after the effective date of the initial registration statement. In the event of termination, funds and securities shall be delivered as described herein.
Once the offering is completed, the registrant may receive up to 10 percent of the proceeds remaining after payment of allowances permitted by Rule 419(b)(2)(vi) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Deposited Funds and Deposited Securities will be released by the trustee to CAWC and to investors, respectively, only after the trustee has determined that: CAWC has executed an agreement for the acquisition of a business, the value of which represents at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds; CAWC has filed the required post-effective amendment; the post-effective amendment has been declared effective; CAWC has successfully completed a reconfirmation offering having the conditions prescribed by Rule 419; including that at least 80% of the shares sold in the offering must have voted in favor of reconfirmation; and the acquisition meeting the above criteria has been consummated.
POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT
On July 22, 2013, CAWC entered into an Exchange Agreement with Starpoint General Corporation to exchange 1,000 newly issued shares of CAWC for 10,000 shares of the Starpoint, representing 100% of Starpoint’s outstanding shares. Starpoint’s business is valued at greater than 80% of the maximum offering proceeds . This post effective amendment on Form S-1 updates CAWC’s initial registration statement and contains information about: the proposed acquisition candidate and its business, including audited financial statements; the results of the offering; and the use of the funds disbursed from the trust account. The post-effective amendment also includes the terms of the reconfirmation offer mandated by Rule 419.
RECONFIRMATION OFFERING
Within five business days after the effective date of this post-effective amendment, CAWC shall commence a Reconfirmation Offering, pursuant to Rule 419, which shall include the following conditions:
(1) The prospectus contained in this post-effective amendment will be sent by CAWC to each investor whose securities are held in the trust account within five business days after the effective date of this post-effective amendment;

(3) If CAWC does not receive written notification from any investor within 45 business days following the effective date of this post-effective amendment, the pro rata portion of the Deposited Funds held in the trust account on such investor's behalf will be returned to the investor within five business days by first class mail or other equally prompt means;
(4) The acquisition will be consummated only if 80% of the shares sold in the offering reconfirm their investments; and

DESCRIPTION OF CAWC SECURITIES
COMMON STOCK
Continental Alloy Wheel Corp.is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value and no shares of preferred stock. CAWC has issued 12,200,000 shares of common stock to date held by twenty-six (26) shareholders of record.
The holders of CAWC’s common stock:
1. Have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors;
2. Are entitled to share ratably in all of assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of corporate affairs;
3. Do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and
4. Are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are 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 system). The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer, and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements 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 such rules, the broker/dealer must make a special written determination that a penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These heightened disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the number of broker/dealers willing to make a market in our shares, reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market that may develop for our shares, and accordingly, customers in our securities may find it difficult to sell their securities, if at all.
CAWC has no current plans to either issue any preferred stock or adopt any series, preferences or other classification of preferred stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to (i) provide for the issuance of shares of the authorized preferred stock in series and (ii) by filing a certificate pursuant to the laws of Nevada, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Any shares of issued preferred stock would have priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holder to block such a transaction, or facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although the Board of Directors is required to make any determination to issue such stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of stockholders, the Board of Directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that potentially some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. The Board of Directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or stock exchange rules.
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
No holder of any shares of our stock has preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any unissued shares of any class of stock or any unauthorized securities convertible into or carrying any right, option or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any class of stock not disclosed herein.
NON-CUMULATIVE VOTING
Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.
CASH DIVIDENDS
As of the date of this Prospectus, CAWC has not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, if any, capital requirements and CAWC’s financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. CAWC does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in business operations.
REPORTS
After this Offering, CAWC will make available to its shareholders annual financial reports certified by independent accountants, and may, at its discretion, furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports.
INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
DESCRIPTION OF CAWC’s BUSINESS
CAWC was incorporated on December 28, 2010 under the laws of the State of Nevada, to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. CAWC’s principal business objective is to seek long-term growth potential in a business combination venture. On July 22, 2013, CAWC entered into an Exchange Agreement with Starpoint General Corporation to exchange 1,000 newly issued shares of CAWC for 10,000 shares of the Starpoint, representing 100% of Starpoint’s outstanding shares. We have been in the developmental stage since inception and have no operations to date.
CAWC was formed by Andrew J. Befumo, the initial director, for the purpose of creating a corporation, which could be used to consummate a merger or acquisition. Mr. Befumo serves as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Sole Director.
Mr. Befumo, elected to commence implementation of our principal business purpose, described below under “Plan of Operation." As such, we can be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Company will utilize word of mouth to locate a merger or acquisition candidate. The Company must consummate a merger or acquisition by a date 18 months after the effective date of the initial registration statement or refund investors funds as described herein. It is anticipated that the most likely consideration for such merger or acquisition will be in common stock of the Company.
The proposed business activities described herein classify us as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. We do not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein. Accordingly, the shareholder has executed and delivered a "lock-up" letter agreement, affirming that he/she will not sell his/her respective shares of our common stock until such time as we have successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and we are no longer classified as a "blank check" company. In order to provide further assurances that no trading will occur in our securities until a merger or acquisition has been consummated, the shareholder has agreed to place his respective stock certificate in escrow, with an escrow agent who will not release these respective certificates until such time as a merger or acquisition has been successfully consummated. However, while we believe that the procedures established to preclude any sale of our securities prior to closing of a merger or acquisition will be sufficient, there can be no assurances that the procedures established herein will unequivocally limit any shareholder's ability to sell their respective securities before such closing.
Number of Total CAWC Employees and Number of Full Time CAWC Employees
CAWC is currently in the development stage. During this development period, CAWC plans to rely exclusively on the services of its officer and director who will devote between 10 to 20 hours a month to establish business operations and perform or supervise the minimal services required at this time. CAWC believes that its operations are currently on a small scale and manageable by CAWC management. There are no full or part-time employees. The responsibilities are mainly administrative at this time, as CAWC operations are minimal.
DESCRIPTION OF CAWC PROPERTY
We share a corporate office located at 1629 K Street, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20006 with the law firm of Befumo & Schaeffer, PLLC. Office space is provided free of charge by Befumo & Schaeffer, PLLC. There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities currently in use.

2. There are currently 10,000,000 shares of our common stock held by our officer and director that are not eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
3. Other than the stock registered under CAWC’s initial Registration Statement, there is no stock that has been proposed to be publicly offered resulting in dilution to current shareholder.
All of the presently outstanding shares of common stock held by our President are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144, which became effective on February 15, 2008. Pursuant to the new Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a “shell company”, as defined in Rule 405, ceases to be a “shell company” and files Form 10 information with the SEC, before a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Under the amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities, that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or an Issuer that has at anytime previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company as defined in Rule 405, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met: (1) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (3) the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (4) at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
The Company plans to have its stock quoted on the OTCBB. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, an authorized market maker must file a Form 211 application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there by any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained.
At the present time, the Company is classified as a “shell company” under Rule 405 of the Securities Act. As such, all restricted securities presently held by the founders of the Company may not be resold in reliance on Rule 144 until: (1) the Company files Form 10 information with the SEC when it ceases to be a “shell company”; (2) the Company has filed all reports as required by Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Act for twelve consecutive months; and (3) one year has elapsed from the time the Company files the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
HOLDERS
As of the date of this Prospectus, CAWC has 12,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding held by 26 shareholders.
DIVIDENDS
We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on either our preferred or common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our preferred or common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.

Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) to March 31, 2013
Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 28, 2010 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company is defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Company will utilize word of mouth to locate a merger or acquisition candidate. The Company must locate a merger or acquisition candidate within 18 months of the effectiveness of its S-1 registration statement or refund investors’ funds as described in the S-1 filing. It is anticipated that the most likely consideration for such merger or acquisition will be in common stock of the Company. To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, minimal operations, and the raising of equity capital. The S-1 became effective on August 15, 2012.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company’s efforts have been devoted primarily to raising capital, borrowing funds and attempting to implement its planned, principal activities.
2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) to March 31, 2013
2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $542 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Various Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) through ASU No. 2013-07 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
3) | RESTRICTED CASH AND REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK |
In August, 2012, the Company sold 2,200,000 shares of common stock for $22,000. Since the Company must locate a merger or acquisition candidate within 18 months of the effectiveness of its S-1 registration statement or refund investors’ funds, the transaction has been recorded outside of stockholder’s equity, and excluded from cash.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s President and Director contributed $9,552 and $440, respectively, to fund certain operating expenses. This amount has been recorded in additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
5) | PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES |
The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under ASC 718-740-20 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the basis of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. All tax years from inception are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) to March 31, 2013
5) | PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) |
Minimal development stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carry forwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. Operating loss carry forwards totaled $43,920 for the period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) through March 31, 2013 and will begin to expire in 2030. Accordingly deferred tax assets of approximately $15,372 were offset by a valuation allowance.
The Company adopted the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in ASC 740-10-65-1, on December 28, 2010. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-65-1, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company has no tax position at March 31, 2013 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended development stage activities.
6) | GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,920. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and its ability to implement its planned, principal activities. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has evaluated its subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date of this report and determined that there are no additional events to disclose.

abcpas.net | | | We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting, as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audits provide 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 Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and for the period of December 28, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial stat The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring losses and has not generated revenues from its planned principal operations. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Anderson Bradshaw PLLC Anderson Bradshaw PLLC Salt Lake City, Utah April 2, 2013 | |

Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) to December 31, 2012
Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 28, 2010 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company is defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Company will utilize word of mouth to locate a merger or acquisition candidate. The Company must locate a merger or acquisition candidate within 18 months of the effectiveness of a registration statement or refund investors’ funds as described herein. It is anticipated that the most likely consideration for such merger or acquisition will be in common stock of the Company. To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, minimal operations, and the raising of equity capital.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company’s efforts have been devoted primarily to raising capital, borrowing funds and attempting to implement its planned, principal activities.
2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) to December 31, 2012
2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $542 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
NET INCOME OR (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
The Company has adopted ASC 260 “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had issued 12,200,000 shares of common stock (see Note 3). The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Various Accounting Standards Updates (ASU’s) through ASU No. 2013-05 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Notes to the Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) to December 31, 2012
3) | RESTRICTED CASH AND REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK |
In August, 2012, the Company sold 2,200,000 shares of common stock for $22,000. Since the Company must locate a merger or acquisition candidate within 18 months of the effectiveness of its S-1 registration statement or refund investors’ funds, the transaction has been recorded outside of stockholder’s equity, and excluded from cash.
AUTHORIZED STOCK
The Company has authorized 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $.001 per share. Each share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the shareholders of the Company is sought.
SHARE ISSUANCES
In December, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors agreed to issue 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $.0001 to its President and Director in consideration of $1,000.
In August, 2012, the Company sold 2,200,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, to 25 individual shareholders for $22,000. The Company has not used any of the subscription proceeds, which remain in escrow.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s President and Director contributed $3,510 and $6,299, respectively, to fund certain operating expenses. These amounts have been recorded in additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2012.
5) | PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES |
The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under ASC 718-740-20 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the basis of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.
Minimal development stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carry forwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. Operating loss carry forwards totaled $43,356 for the period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2012 and will begin to expire in 2030. Accordingly deferred tax assets of approximately $15,238 were offset by a valuation allowance.

Notes to the Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from December 28, 2010 (Inception) to December 31, 2012
5) | PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) |
The Company adopted the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in ASC 740-10-65-1, on December 28, 2010. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-65-1, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company has no tax position at December 31, 2012 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended development stage activities. All tax years from inception are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
6) | GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,356. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and its ability to implement its planned, principal activities. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has evaluated its subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date of this report and determined that there are no additional events to disclose.
CAWC MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section must be read in conjunction with the CAWC Audited Financial Statements included in this Prospectus.
CAWC PLAN OF OPERATION
On July 22, 2013, CAWC entered into an Exchange Agreement with Starpoint to exchange 1,000 newly issued shares of CAWC for 10,000 shares of Starpoint, representing 100% of the outstanding shares of the Starpoint (the “Exchange Transaction”). At the closing of the Exchange Agreement (which is contingent upon a 80% reconfirmation vote under Rule 419), Starpoint will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAWC and CAWC will acquire the business and operations of Starpoint.
Starpoint is a corporate advisory firm, providing strategic advice to growth companies in emerging markets. Utilizing Starpoint management’s knowledge of financial markets Starpoint provides strategic advice, design and implementation of corporate restructuring plans and assists clients with access to capital markets. Starpoint has a business value greater than the maximum offering proceeds of CAWC’s public offering.
The audited financial statements of Starpoint are filed as part of this post-effective amendment, and the investors in the offering will be afforded the opportunity to reconfirm pursuant to the provisions of Rule 419 prior to closing of the Exchange Transaction .
We have no full time employees. Mr. Befumo has agreed to allocate a portion of his time to our activities, without compensation. We anticipate that our plan can be implemented by our officer devoting approximately 10 to 20 hours per month to the business affairs and consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer. See "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS."
CAWC’s Articles of Incorporation provide that CAWC may indemnify its officers and/or directors for liabilities, which can include liabilities arising under the securities laws. Therefore, CAWC’s assets could be used or attached to satisfy any liabilities subject to such indemnification. See "INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS."
CAWC GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN
CAWC’s purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms who or which desire to engage in a merger or similar combinational transaction. CAWC has not restricted its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. We anticipate that we will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because we have nominal assets and limited financial resources. See "Financial Statements." This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to shareholders because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes , and Starpoint is such an entity.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate has been complex and extremely risky. We continue to have no capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's, agreements and related reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the 34 Act. Our officer and director has not conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data which would indicate any benefit of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.
The analysis of new business opportunities has been undertaken by our officer and director, who is not a professional business analyst. We have met personally with management and key personnel of Starpoint as part of our investigation.
No outside consultants or advisors, other than legal counsel and accountants, will be utilized by us to effectuate our business purposes described herein. However, if we do retain such an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee earned by such party will need to be paid primarily by the prospective merger/acquisition candidate, as we will have limited, if any, cash assets with which to pay such obligation. There have been no discussions, understandings, contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and none are anticipated in the future.
We have not restricted our search to any specific kind of firms, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage (such as Starpoint), which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its corporate life. W e do not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation of Starpoint, or any other acquired business opportunity until such time as we have successfully consummated a merger or acquisition. We do not have any plans to conduct any offerings under Regulation S.
ACQUISITION OF OPPORTUNITIES
After the consummation of a transaction with Starpoint, it is probable that the present management may resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of our shareholders.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of its transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be no assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after we have successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and we are no longer considered a "shell" company. Until such time as this occurs, we will not attempt to register any additional securities. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may have a depressive effect on the value of our securities in the future, if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance.
The proposed acquisition of Starpoint is structure d a s a so-called "tax- free" reorganization under Sections 368a or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The terms of the acquisition of Starpoint are set forth in the Exchange Agreement, which contains customary representations, warranties and conditions, and is filed with this post-effective amendment no.2 as Exhibit 10.2.
Our officer and shareholder has verbally agreed that he will advance any additional funds which may be needed for operating capital and for costs in connection with searching for or completing an acquisition or merger. This person has also agreed that such advances will be made interest free without expectation of repayment unless the owners of the business which we acquire or merge with agree to repay all or a portion of such advances. There is no dollar cap on the amount of money which such person will advance to us. We will not borrow any funds from anyone for the purpose of repaying advances made by the shareholder, and we will not borrow any funds to make any payments to the Company's promoters, management or their affiliates or associates.
There is no plan to complete a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which our management serves as officer, director or partner, or in which he or his family members own or hold any ownership interest. Because our sole officer and director continues to hold over 80% of the outstanding common stock of CAWC, he will have significant influence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors.
There are no arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management individuals and us under which non-management can conduct the Company's affairs.
CAWC COMPETITION
We will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than us. In view of our combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared our competitors.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAWC has earned no significant revenue or profits to date, and CAWC anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. CAWC incurred a net loss of $43,920 for the period of December 28, 2010 (inception) to March 31, 2013 , which consisted of incorporation costs and operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CAWC has financed its expenses and costs thus far through equity financing. As of July 22, 2013, CAWC had cash of $542. CAWC incurred a net loss of $43,920 for the period of December 28, 2010 (inception) to March 31, 2013. The losses are a result of organizational expenses and expenses associated with setting up a Company structure in order to begin implementing its business plan. CAWC anticipates that until these procedures are completed, it will not generate revenues, and may continue to operate at a loss thereafter, depending upon the performance of the business.
CAWC has limited financial resources available, which has had an adverse impact on CAWC’s liquidity, activities and operations. There is no assurance that CAWC will be able to raise sufficient funding to develop its business plan.
CAWC as a whole may continue to operate at a loss for an indeterminate period thereafter, depending upon the performance of its new businesses. CAWC may determine that it cannot raise sufficient capital to support its business on acceptable terms, or at all. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to CAWC or at all.
Because CAWC’s business plan consists entirely of seeking a business combination, its burn rate is negligible, and is anticipated to be less than $250 per month. Ongoing, monthly expenses consist primarily of accounting and bookkeeping costs. Additionally, CAWC estimates that its expenses in relation to the Offering will be $5,000. CAWC currently has $542 in cash. CAWC’s sole officer and director, Andrew Befumo has agreed to pay its ongoing expenses and offering expenses, on an as-needed basis.

Such indemnification shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, expenses, including attorney's fees actually or reasonably incurred by him. Nevada law also provides for discretionary indemnification for each person who serves as or at our request as an officer or director. We may indemnify such individual against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought because such individual is a director or officer. Such individual must have conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, he must not have had a reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
NEVADA LAW
Pursuant to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes 78.751, we shall indemnify any director, officer and employee as follows: Every director, officer, or employee of Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation shall be indemnified by us against all expenses and liabilities, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him/her in connection with any proceeding to which he/she may be made a party, or in which he/she may become involved, by reason of being or having been our director, officer, employee or agent or is or was serving at our request as our director, officer, employee or agent, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise, or any settlement thereof, whether or not he/she is a director, officer, employee or agent at the time such expenses are incurred, except in such cases wherein the director, officer, employee or agent is adjudged guilty of willful misfeasance or malfeasance in the performance of his/her duties; provided that in the event of a settlement the indemnification herein shall apply only when the Board of Directors approves such settlement and reimbursement as being for our best interests. We shall provide to any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise, the indemnity against expenses of a suit, litigation or other proceedings which is specifically permissible under applicable law.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Policy on Indemnification
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the company pursuant to any provisions contained in its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of 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 legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the past three years, we have issued the following unregistered securities in private transactions without registering the securities under the Securities Act:
On December 28, 2010, Andrew J. Befumo, our officer and director, paid $289 for expenses involved with the incorporation of the Company with personal funds on behalf of the Company and provided services. He was also issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, for $1,000 cash.
At the time of the issuance, Andrew J. Befumo was in possession of all available material information about us, as he is the only officer and director. On the basis of these facts, Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation claims that the issuance of stock to its founding shareholder qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. We believe that the exemption from registration for these sales under Section 4(2) was available because:
· Andrew J. Befumo is our executive officer and thus had fair access to all material information about us before investing;
· There was no general advertising or solicitation; and
· The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend.
· All shares issued to Andrew J. Befumo.
· The price of the common stock issued to Andrew J. Befumo was arbitrarily determined and bore no relationship to any objective criterion of value. At the time of issuance, we were recently formed or in the process of being formed and possessed no assets.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE ACQUISITION CANDIDATE
Overview
Starpoint General Corporation (“Starpoint”, also the “Acquisition Candidate”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 28, 2013 by David Cohen, the initial director. Starpoint’s corporate offices are located at 102 Montauk Blvd, Box 86, East Hampton NY 11937, and its fiscal year end is December 31.
Starpoint has never been a party to any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding, or any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business. Mr. Cohen serves as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director, and currently owns 100% of the Acquisition Candidate’s outstanding common shares.

INDUSTRIES AND MARKETS
Starpoint is focused on emerging markets whose growth increasingly contributes to the global economy. Starpoint is exploring opportunities in the European Union, China, India, Brazil and the ASEAN Region (including Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia and Malaysia).
Target Markets
EU
Following the recession that marked 2012, EU GDP growth is projected to turn positive gradually in the second half of 2013 before gaining some traction in 2014, according to a report by the European commission on Economic and Financial Affairs. Starpoint’s current management has extensive business contacts in the EU, and intends to exploit those contacts to establish the company’s initial client base.
China The Management considers China as a key market. Starpoint’s management has established contacts in China, and intends to concentrate Starpoint’s efforts in the provinces of Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei on the Eastern seaboard of China, between the cities of Beijing, Dalian and Shanghai known as “The Magic Triangle.” Jiangsu province, located north of Shanghai, has the highest density of private enterprises in China, with more than 2 million private businesses operating in the province. Since the inception of economic reforms in 1978, Jiangsu has been a hot spot for economic development, and is now one of China’s most prosperous provinces. Many nationwide operating companies have their headquarters or significant offices in Beijing, whilst Shanghai is considered the commercial capital of China, being home to many multinational companies and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Shandong and Hebei are rich in terms of natural resources and have strong agricultural output, including products such as Yantai apples and Weifang radish. The area also includes three port cities of Shanghai, Tianjin and Qingdao. India India is recognized for the existence of a functioning democracy, and a diversifying legal structure and economy. Although the Duetsche bank recently cut India’s 2014 growth forecast to 5% due in part to a weak trend of capital goods imports, the country continues to have a large consumer economy. According to a report by National Council for Applied Economic Research’s (NCAER) Center for Macro Consumer Research, by 2015-16, India would be a country of 53.3 million middle class households, translating into 267 million people falling in the category. The Company will seek to exploit opportunities in the leisure and branded luxury goods sectors, areas in which the Directors consider India’s increasingly affluent middle-class to be focused. Brazil Brazil has a population of approximately 190 million people, a land mass almost the size of the United States and is considered by many economists to be the world’s second largest developing economy after China. In June of 2013, according to Brazil’s Ministério do Desenvolvimento, Indústria e Comércio Exterior, Brazil has a trade surplus of USD $2.3 billion. Brazil’s recent growth is mainly built on exports of agricultural products and natural resources to India and China as well as the rest of the world. Brazil is one of the world’s largest exporters of beef, coffee, sugar and orange juice and has recently experienced growth in soy and wood pulp exports. The Directors believe that Brazil offers many interesting opportunities as it further expands its economy. ASEAN region The ASEAN region consists of ten countries including Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia and Malaysia, which are developing a regional economic community. Management believes that the regional development in Asia generally has spurred investor interest in the ASEAN region. |
AVAILABILITY OF CAPITAL
As described more fully under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below, our sources of capital will be cash flow from operating activities, and if an appropriate opportunity presents itself, the sale of debt or equity securities, although we may not be able to complete any financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. As of June 30, 2013, we had no credit facility, but we are working to obtain one.
COMPETITION
The Company faces competition from both international and domestic companies that seek to provide companies in emerging markets with advisory services and access to funding sources. Many of our competitors maintain a strong presence in the business community, offer a wide range of competing products, and have significantly greater financial marketing and product development resources than Starpoint. Our competition includes companies that offer advisory services both as a primary product, and also as part of a product package. These competitive companies include private equity funds, financial institutions and other investors actively seeking and making investments in emerging markets. A number of these competitors may be substantially larger and may have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. Competition may lead to either an over-supply of business similar to that of the Company or to prices for providing services being driven down as a result of potential advisers trying to win new business. The Company’s international competition includes private equity and consulting companies with operations in China and other emerging markets, including industry leaders such as Blackstone Group and Carlyle Group; consulting firms focused on Internet-based business solutions such as the Berndt Group; international business consulting firms such as Bruner-Cox, LLP; and strategy and management consulting groups such as Boston Consulting Group.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Starpoint has no pending or issued Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements.
EMPLOYEES
Starpoint currently has no full time employees. Our sole officer and director, Mr. Cohen has agreed to allocate a portion of his time to our activities, without compensation. We anticipate that our plan of operation can be implemented by Mr. Cohen devoting approximately 10 to 20 hours per month to the business affairs and consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company commenced operations in June 2013, and immediately entered into an agreement with Geo Global Group, Ltd. to provide advisory services. Upon execution of the agreement, Geo Global Ltd. issued the Company 4,200,000 share of its common stock with a fair value of $31,941. Further, in accordance with the terms of the agreement the Company is entitled to $475 per hour for additional services performed. Notwithstanding, the Company has no cash and cash equivalents and negative working capital totaling $10,180 as of June 30, 2013. Unless and until we fully implement our planned, principal activities and exit the development stage, we will remain dependent on the sale of equity, issuance of debt, or both which may be insufficient to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.
Results of Operations
During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company generated $31,941 in revenue in exchange for consulting services rendered, totaling $31,941. Operating expenses during the same period total $2,000, resulting in operating income of $29,941.
Plan of Operations
During the next 12 months, it is expected that we will need approximately $50,000 to meet our operating expenses, including legal and accounting fees, and general and administrative expenses. In order to fully implement our planned, principal activities and exit the development stage, the Company will be required to raise equity capital, issue debt, or both. The failure to accomplish these financing arrangements may result in our inability to continue operations.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. We have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our Articles of Incorporation. This means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine from time to time.
Holders of common stock have no preemptive subscription, redemption or conversion rights, or other subscription rights.

The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our 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.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF ACQUISITION CANDIDATE
Under Starpoint’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, the Company may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his/her position, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he/she is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him/her against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Starpoint General Corporation (A Development Stage Company)
East Hampton, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Starpoint General Corporation (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from inception on June 28, 2013 through June 30, 2013. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Starpoint General Corporation (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from inception on June 28, 2013 through June 30, 2013 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is newly formed with no history of active operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Starpoint General Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
Starpoint General Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 28, 2013 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company is a consulting business that provides strategic advice to growth companies in emerging markets. The Company assists these companies in both business and corporate development, generating revenues through monetary fees assessed and equity securities granted in exchange for services rendered.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company’s efforts have been devoted primarily to raising capital, borrowing funds and attempting to implement its planned, principal activities.
2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements
2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had no cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company’s financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Under ASC 605-45, the Company recognizes revenues in the period services are rendered and determined to be earned and realizable, or when collectability is assured.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets including Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

Notes to the Financial Statements
2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
NET INCOME OR (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
The Company has adopted ASC 260 “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had issued 10,000 shares of common stock (see Note 4). The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Various Accounting Standards Updates (ASU’s) through ASU No. 2013-11 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

5) | PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES |
The Company accounts for corporate income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes”. FASB ASC 740-10 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income tax purposes.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)). FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
At the adoption date of June 28, 2013 (Inception), the Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statement of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 2013 the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.
As the Company is newly formed, there are no tax years, other than the current incomplete year, that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions.

6) | GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, the Company had no cash and cash equivalents. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and its ability to implement its planned, principal activities. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has evaluated its subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date of this report and determined that there are no additional events to disclose.
These Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements include adjustments to reflect the results of the following events:
On July 22, 2013 Continental Alloy Wheel Corporation (“CAWC”) entered into an exchange agreement with Starpoint General Corporation (“Starpoint”) to exchange 1,000 shares of CAWC in exchange for 10,000 shares of Starpoint representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Starpoint. At the closing of the Exchange Agreement (which is contingent upon a 80% reconfirmation vote under Rule 419), Starpoint will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAWC and CAWC will acquire the business and operations of Starpoint. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and conditions.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations are presented to give effect to exchange 1,000 shares of CAWC in exchange for Ten thousand (10,000) shares of Starpoint representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Starpoint. The pro forma information was prepared based on the historical financial statements and related notes of CAWC and Starpoint after giving effect to the Transaction using the acquisition method of accounting.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 is presented as if the Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2013. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations combine the results of operations of CAWC and Starpoint for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 and are presented as if the Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2013.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon an estimated valuation of shares as if the Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2013.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been achieved had CAWC and Starpoint been a combined company during the respective periods presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies and/or cost savings that CAWC may achieve with respect to the combined companies. The unaudited pro forma financial statements also do not include the effects of restructuring activities and post-merger synergy.
These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with CAWC historical consolidated financial statements and related notes for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and the three month period ended June 30, 2013 as well as Starpoint’s historical financial statements and related notes for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and the three month period ended June 30, 2013.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
a. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
1. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
2. For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
