ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) Business Development
Hyperion Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 31, 2012. Since inception, which was January 31, 2012, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination and has made no efforts to identify a possible business combination. As a result, the Company has not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger with, an existing company.
As of the most recent audited period, the Company has generated no revenues or earnings from operations, possess no significant assets or financial resources and has no cash on hand. The Independent Auditor's Report to the Company’s financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2012, included in this Form 10, indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Such doubts identified in the report include the fact (i) that the Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs; (ii) that the Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured; (iii) that the Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations; (iv) that if it the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“the JOBS Act”), that eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) reporting and disclosure rules (See Emerging Growth Companies Section Below) and have selected December 31 as its fiscal year end..
(b) Business of Issuer
The Company, based on proposed business activities, is a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.
The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
-3-
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of William Tay, the sole officer and director of the Registrant. As of this date, the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for the Company. The Registrant has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Registrant will consider the following kinds of factors:
(a) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;
(b) Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;
(c) Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;
(d) Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Registrant or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;
(e) The cost of participation by the Registrant as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;
(f) The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;
(g) The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and
(h) Other relevant factors.
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Registrant's limited capital available for investigation, the Registrant may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.
FORM OF ACQUISITION
The manner in which the Registrant participates in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Registrant and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Registrant and such promoters.
It is likely that the Registrant will acquire its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other securities of the Registrant. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity.
-4-
In addition, depending upon the transaction, the Registrant’s current stockholders may be substantially diluted to less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity and possibly even eliminated as stockholders by an acquisition.
The present stockholders of the Registrant will likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Registrant following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all, or a majority of, the Registrant's directors may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. We estimate such cost to be approximately $10,000. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Company of the related costs incurred.
We presently have no employees apart from our management, which consist of one person, our sole officer and director, Mr. William Tay. Our sole officer and director is engaged in outside business activities and anticipates that he will devote to our business approximately five (5) hours per week until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.
Furthermore, the analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of William Tay, the sole officer and director of the Company, who is not a professional business analyst and in all likelihood will not be experienced in matters relating to the target business opportunity. The inexperience of Mr. Tay and the fact that the analysis and evaluation of a potential business combination is to be taken under his supervision may adversely impact the Company’s ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination. There is no guarantee that Mr. Tay will be able to identify a business combination target that is suitable for the Company.
(c) Reports to security holders.
(1) The Company is not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and at this time does not anticipate the distribution of such a report.
(2) The Company will file reports with the SEC. The Company will be a reporting company and will comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act.
(3) The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC in the SEC's Public Reference Section, Room 1580, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
The JOBS Act affords company to file an IPO and get temporary reprieve from certain SEC regulations by exempting an emerging growth company (EGC) from these regulations for up to five years. An EGC is defined as a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion in its most recently completed fiscal year. An EGC will retain such status until the earlier of: (1) the fifth anniversary of the date it first sold securities pursuant to an IPO registration statement; (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which it first exceeds $1 billion in annual gross revenues; (3) the time it becomes a large accelerated filer (an SEC registered company with a public float of at least $700 million); or (4) the date on which the EGC has, within the previous three years, issued $1 billion of nonconvertible debt.
Regulatory Relief for EGCs. The JOBS Act provides scaled disclosure provisions for EGCs, including, among other things:
· permitting EGCs to include only two years of audited financial statements in the registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 (the 1933 Act) for an IPO of common equity securities;
· allowing EGCs to comply with the smaller reporting company version of Item 402 of Regulation S-K; and
· removing the requirement that EGCs comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(b) auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting.
Recently, the SEC issued guidance on scaled disclosures and other EGC related issues.
Emerging Growth Company Revenue Test. An EGC is defined as a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion in its most recently completed fiscal year. The phrase “total annual gross revenues” means total revenues as presented on the income statement presentation under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). If the financial statements for the most recent year included in the company’s registration statement are those of its predecessor, the predecessor’s revenues would be used when determining whether the company meets the EGC definition.
EGC Effective Date. The JOBS Act provides that a company shall not qualify to be an EGC “if the first sale of common equity securities of such company pursuant to an effective registration statement” under the 1933 Act occurred on or before December 8, 2011.
The phrase “date of the first sale of common equity securities” under the JOBS Act could be:
· the date of a company’s initial primary offering of common equity securities for cash;
· an offering of common equity pursuant to an employee benefit plan registered on a Form S-8; or
· a selling shareholder’s secondary offering registered on a resale registration statement.
Even if its registration statement had been declared effective on or before December 8, 2011, a company may qualify as an EGC so long as the first sale of common equity securities occurs after December 8, 2011, assuming the company meets all of the other requirements of the EGC definition.
A company that qualifies as an EGC may amend its registration statement to provide the scaled disclosure available to EGCs even though the registration statement was initially filed prior to April 5, 2012.
The filing may be made in a pre-effective amendment to a pending registration statement or in a post-effective amendment.
Transitioning in and out of EGC Status. As part of the process, the EGC submits a confidential draft of its registration statement to the SEC for review. Once the review has been completed, the EGC publicly files its initial registration statement with the SEC with all prior confidential submissions included as exhibits to the registration statement. A company must qualify as an EGC at the time of submission of its confidential draft registration statement and throughout the entire review process.
-6-
If a company ceases to qualify as an EGC while undergoing the confidential review of its draft registration statement (for example, since the initial submission date, a fiscal year has been completed with revenues over $1 billion), it would need to publicly file a registration statement to continue the review process and comply with current rules and regulations applicable to companies that are not ECGs. At that time, the prior confidential draft submissions would be filed as exhibits to the registration statement.
Under SEC Rule 401(a), a company’s status at the time of the initial filing date of its registration statement will determine the requirements for the contents of that registration statement. The filing of a confidential draft submission is not a “filing” for these purposes because it is not the filing of a registration statement. Under Rule 401(a), if a company completes the confidential review process and then files its registration statement at a time when it qualifies as an EGC, the disclosure provisions for EGCs would continue to apply through effectiveness of the registration statement even if the company loses its EGC status during registration.
Conversely, if a company submits a draft registration statement for confidential review at a time when it qualifies as an EGC, but files its initial registration statement at a time when it does not qualify as an EGC, then the initial registration statement would need to comply with the requirements applicable to registration statements filed by companies that are not EGCs.
Test-the-Waters Communications. New Section 5(d) under the 1933 Act allows “test-the-waters” communications, which may be made before the public filing of the registration statement with qualified institutional buyers (large institutional investors with more than $100 million in investments - QIBs) and institutional accredited investors. A company would need to determine whether it qualifies as an EGC at the time it engages in such communications. If an EGC made test-the-waters communications in reliance on Section 5(d) before the public filing of a registration statement, but it is no longer an EGC at the time it publicly files a registration statement, the earlier communications would not be deemed to violate this rule. Further test-the-waters communications in reliance on Section 5(d), however, would not be permitted if the company no longer qualifies as an EGC.
Disclosing EGC Status. When filing a draft registration statement, an EGC should disclose that it is an EGC on the cover page of its prospectus. This disclosure would be included in the confidential submission as well as the publicly filed registration statement.
An EGC should discuss its status in its prospectus and the risks associated with being an EGC. For example, an EGC should consider disclosing that it is exempt from the Sarbanes-Oxley auditor attestation rule and discuss the risks this may pose to the EGC.
Scaled Disclosure—Audited Financials and Selected Financial Data. As indicated above (Regulatory Relief for EGCs), an EGC is subject to scaled disclosure provisions. Under the JOBS Act, an EGC may elect to take advantage of some or all of these provisions and, if it chooses, to comply with the regular disclosure provisions (see, however, Scaled Disclosures—Election to Comply With New or Revised Accounting Standards below).
Section 7(a)(2)(A) of the 1933 Act provides that an EGC need not present more than two years of audited financial statements in a registration statement for an IPO of its common equity securities. This section also provides that, “in any other registration statement to be filed with the Commission, an [EGC] need not present selected financial data in accordance with section 229.301 of title 17... for any period prior to the earliest audited period presented in connection with its initial public offering.” Although Section 7(a)(2)(A) refers to “any other” registration statement, if an EGC presents two years of audited financial statements in its IPO registration statement, the number of years of selected financial data under Item 301 of Regulation S-K is limited to two years as well.
-7-
Technically, the JOBS Act provision permitting the filing of only two years of audited financial statements is limited to the registration statement for the EGC’s IPO public offering registration statement. However, the SEC has determined that an EGC does not need to present audited financial statements in other registration statements for any period prior to the earliest audited period presented in connection with its IPO of common equity securities.
Scaled Disclosures—Election to Comply With New or Revised Accounting Standards. An EGC may chose not to take advantage of the extended transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows EGCs to elect whether to comply, deferring compliance until it is no longer an EGC or deferring compliance until the standards are applicable to private companies.
An EGC “must make such choice at the time the company is first required to file a registration statement, periodic report, or other report with the Commission” and notify the SEC of its decision at the time of such filing. EGCs that currently are in registration or are subject to Exchange Act reporting should make and disclose their choice in their next amendment to the registration statement or in their next periodic report, respectively.
The decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
An EGC choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards should look to SAB Topic 11M for disclosure guidance. For each recently issued accounting standard that will apply to its financial statements, an EGC that is taking advantage of the extended transition periods should disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-EGCs and the date on which the EGC will adopt the recently issued accounting standard, assuming it remains an EGC as of such date.
If an EGC decides not to take advantage of the extended transition period, it should:
· if using the confidential submission process, notify the SEC staff of its choice in the initial confidential submission;
· if currently in registration, disclose its choice in its next amendment to the registration statement; and
· if already subject to Exchange Act reporting, disclose its choice in its next periodic report.
Switching to Scaled Disclosure. An issuer that qualifies as an EGC and that has a registration statement that was initially filed before April 5, 2012 may switch to the scaled disclosure provisions available to EGCs in a pre-effective amendment to a pending registration statement or in a post-effective amendment. However, the SEC may seek other disclosures in response to the changed disclosure and EGCs should consider adding disclosure regarding the omitted information (for example, if the third year of audited financial statements removed represents poor financial results).
Conflicts with SEC Rules. Certain provisions of the JOBS Act conflict with SEC form requirements, Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K.
An EGC may comply with the JOBS Act disclosure provisions in its registration statements, periodic reports and proxy statements, even if doing so would be inconsistent with existing rules and regulations. The disclosure provisions in the JOBS Act supersede, in relevant part, existing rules and regulations.
For example, Section 102(c) of the JOBS Act, which was not enacted as part of the Exchange Act, provides that an EGC may comply with Item 402 of Regulation S-K by providing only the information required of a smaller reporting company, even if it does not qualify as a smaller reporting company. In addition, Section 103 of the JOBS Act, which also was not enacted as part of the Exchange Act, provides that an EGC is not required to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(b).
-8-
An EGC’s CEO and CFO are required to certify in their Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 906 certifications that the company’s periodic report fully complies with the requirements of Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Financial Statements of Other Entities. In addition to presenting its own financial statements, an EGC may be required to present up to three years of financial statements of other entities in its registration statement, based on the significance of those entities (e.g., financial statements of acquired businesses).
If the significance test results in a requirement to present three years of financial statements for these other entities, an EGC need only present two years of financial statements for these other entities in its registration statement.
Sale of Nonconvertible Debt. The JOBS Act provides that a company will lose its EGC status on the “date on which such company has during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt,” provided that none of the other EGC disqualifying conditions have been triggered.
The three-year period covers any rolling three-year period. It is not limited to completed calendar or fiscal year. As of any date on which a company has issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt over the three years prior to such date, the company will lose its status as an EGC, provided that none of the other disqualifying conditions have been triggered.
“Nonconvertible debt” means any nonconvertible security that constitutes indebtedness, whether issued in a registered offering or not.
Foreign Private Issuers. If a foreign private issuer comes within the definition of an EGC, it may use the confidential submission procedure to the same extent as a domestic EGC. Qualifying foreign private issuers must submit the draft registration statement in the same manner and to the same address as domestic EGCs.
If the foreign private company chooses to take advantage of any benefit available to EGCs, then it will be treated as an EGC and required to publicly file its confidential submissions at least 21 days before the road show. If the foreign private company chooses not to take advantage of any emerging growth company benefit, then it may follow the SEC’s Policy on Non-Public Submissions from Foreign Private Companies.
The SEC will not object if a foreign private company that qualifies as an EGC complies with the scaled disclosure provisions available to EGCs to the extent relevant to the form requirements for foreign private companies.
An EGC is defined as a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion in its most recently completed fiscal year as reported under U.S. GAAP (or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), if used as the basis of reporting by a foreign private company). If a foreign private company’s financial statements are presented in a currency other than U.S. dollars, total annual gross revenues should be calculated in U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal year.
Foreign Private Issuers—Canadian Companies. A Canadian company filing under the Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System (MJDS) may qualify as an EGC.
However, the disclosure requirements for a Canadian EGC would continue to be established under its home country standards in accordance with the MJDS, other provisions of Title I, such as the test-the-waters provision in Section 5(d) of the Securities Act and the deferral of compliance with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, would be available to an MJDS filer that qualifies as an EGC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Opt-in right for emerging growth company
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the Jobs Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Our sole officer and director is not a professional business analyst and in all likelihood will not be experienced in matters relating to the target business opportunity.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of William Tay, our sole officer and director, who is not a professional business analyst and in all likelihood will not be experienced in matters relating to the target business opportunity. The inexperience of Mr. Tay and the fact that the analysis and evaluation of a potential business combination is to be taken under his supervision may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination. There is no guarantee that Mr. Tay will be able to identify a business combination target that is suitable for us.
Current economic conditions may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition and obtaining funding.
Current economic and financial conditions are volatile. Business and consumer concerns over the economy, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. financial markets and the national debt have contributed to this volatility. These factors, combined with declining and failing businesses, reduced consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have caused a global slow-down. We cannot accurately predict how long these current economic conditions will persist; whether the economy will deteriorate further and how we will be affected.
We have no operating history, no revenue and lack profitable operations. We will, in all likelihood, sustain expenses and costs related to accounting, the filing of Exchange Ace reports and consummating a business combination without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This lack of operations and revenues may result in us incurring a net loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. Because of our lack of profits and possible increasing net losses and lacking operations, target business opportunities may decide to forgo a business combination with us.
Our financial position, having no significant assets, financial resources and no revenues, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The lack of a market for our common equity securities precludes us from raising capital, in the equity markets, until shares of our common stock are registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and, any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations may also preclude us from successfully raising capital and improving our financial position. Target firms that might consider a merger or acquisition with us, to gain the advantages and perceived benefits of becoming a public corporation, may decide to forgo such a business combination with us because of our lack of operations and access to affordable capital. Our financial position and current economic volatility may prevent us from identifying and pursuing a business combination with a target company seeking these benefits and funding sources.
There may be conflicts of interest between our management and our non-management stockholders and management may have incentives to act adversely to the non-management stockholders.
-10-
Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of our stockholders. A conflict of interest may arise between our management's personal pecuniary interest and its fiduciary duty to our stockholders. In addition, management is currently involved with other blank check companies and conflicts in the pursuit of business combinations with such other blank check companies with which they and other members of our management are, and may in the future be, affiliated with may arise. If we and the other blank check companies that our management is affiliated with desire to take advantage of the same opportunity, then those members of management that are affiliated with both companies would abstain from voting upon the opportunity. In the event of identical officers and directors, members of management, such individuals will arbitrarily determine the company that will be entitled to proceed with the proposed transaction.
Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have no operating business and our shareholders will not know what business we will enter into until we effectuate a transaction.
As we have no operating history or revenue and only minimal assets, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and consummate a business combination. We have had no recent operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations since inception. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in us incurring a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination.
There is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger transaction of the type contemplated by management and as a non-trading company we are a competitive disadvantage to some of our competitors and may reduce the likelihood of us consummating a deal.
We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of us identifying and consummating a successful business combination.
We are a development emerging growth stage company, and our future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition.
We were incorporated in January 2012 and are considered to be in the development emerging growth stage. The nature of our operations is highly speculative, and there is a consequent risk of loss of your investment. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.
We have no existing agreement for a business combination or other transaction and there is no guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a transaction that will benefit our shareholders.
-11-
We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.
Management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate.
While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting approximately five (5) hours per week to our affairs. Our sole officer, Mr. William Tay, believes that communicating with professionals in the industry approximately five (5) hours per week will be sufficient to locate a suitable acquisition candidate. Our sole officer has not entered into written employment agreements with us and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.
Target companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude an acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs, estimated to be approximately $10,000, that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited financial statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
We may be subject to further government regulation which would adversely affect our operations.
Although we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, management believes we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Investment Company Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.
Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.
If we enter into a business combination with a foreign company, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.

There is currently no trading market for our common stock, and liquidity of shares of our common stock is limited.
Our shares of common stock are not registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for our common stock. Further, no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until the Company completes a business combination with an operating business and the Company thereafter files a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Therefore, outstanding shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.
Please note that shareholders of our common stock may not rely on Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 and must register any re-sales of your common stock under the Securities Act of 1933.
Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
There are issues impacting liquidity of our securities with respect to the fact that we will need to file a resale registration statement to create liquidity in our common stock.
Since our shares of common stock issued prior to a business combination or reverse merger cannot currently, nor will they for a considerable period of time after we complete a business combination, be available to be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred without being registered pursuant to the Securities Act, we will likely file a resale registration statement on Form S-1, or some other available form, to register for resale such shares of common stock. We cannot control this future registration process in all respects as some matters are outside our control. Even if we are successful in causing the effectiveness of the resale registration statement, there can be no assurances that the occurrence of subsequent events may not preclude our ability to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. Any of the foregoing items could have adverse effects on the liquidity of our shares of common stock.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and if we do not pay dividends in the future then our shareholders can only benefit from their shares by selling such stock either in the public market place or in a private transaction.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into us to further our business strategy.
We may be subject to certain tax consequences in our business, which may increase our cost of doing business.
We may not be able to structure our acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with us or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction. Currently, a transaction may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target entity; however, we cannot guarantee that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

Our business will have no revenue unless and until we merge with or acquire an operating business.
We are a development stage company and have had no revenue from operations since our inception in January 2012. We may not realize any revenue unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.
We intend to issue more shares in a merger or acquisition, which will result in substantial dilution.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 500,000,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected.
Our principal stockholders may engage in a transaction to cause us to repurchase their shares of common stock.
In order to provide an interest in us to a third party, our sole stockholder may choose to cause us to sell our securities to one or more third parties, with the proceeds of such sale(s) being utilized by us to repurchase shares of common stock held by them. As a result of such transaction(s), our management, principal stockholder(s) and Board of Directors may change.
We have conducted no market research or identification of business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with or acquire.
We have not conducted market research concerning prospective business opportunities, nor have others made the results of such market research available to us. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our management has not identified any specific business combination or other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be expected that any such target business or transaction will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our stockholders.
Our shares may be subject to the “penny stock” rules, following such a reverse merger transaction which might subject you to restrictions on marketability and may not be able to sell your shares
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Additional risks may exist since we will assist a privately held business to become public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our post-merger company in the future. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market for our common stock will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price. Your investment could be a partial or complete loss.
-14-
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). 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 that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current 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. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
We cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business, our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange and therefore it is possible that our stockholders will not be able to liquidate their investment in our stock and we may not have access to capital available to companies trading on these exchanges.
Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange. After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.
Our authorization of blank check preferred stock could be used to discourage a take-over transaction involving an actual or potential change in control of us or our management.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences to be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
Due to the control by management of the 100% of issued and outstanding common stock our non-management shareholders will have no power to choose management or impact operations.
-15-
Management currently controls and votes 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Consequently, management has the ability to influence control of our operations and, acting together, will have the ability to influence or control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including:
| · | Election of the Board of Directors; |
| · | Removal of directors; |
| · | Amendment to the our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and |
| · | Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination. |
These stockholders will thus have substantial influence over our management and affairs and other stockholders possess no practical ability to remove management or effect the operations of our business. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock.
We may incur additional costs of being a public company due to the difficulties of establishing and maintaining acceptable internal controls over financial reporting with no full time or part-time employees, the expenses of being a reporting company pursuant to the Exchange Act of 1934 and the liability provisions of the Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company is a development emerging growth stage company, with no operations and no revenues from operations. We may never realize any revenues unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.
Because the Company has no operations and no revenues from operations, the Company has not established sufficient internal controls over financial reporting; therefore these costs are estimated to be zero as we do not currently plan to implement a robust control initiative given our lack of positive cash flow from operations and inherent lack of segregation of duties. If the Company were to attempt to mediate some of our segregation of duties issues and achieve effective internal controls we currently do not have adequate funding to implement such an initiative and therefore do not plan to implement this initiative.
The expenses of periodic reporting requirements, such as audits and reviews, are estimated at $5,000.00 annually. Because of the nature of the Company and its absence of any on-going operations, these expenses are anticipated to be relatively low. If necessary, the Company will consider various options for paying these expenses, including payment from funds in our treasury, if any, but no certain funding for these expenses has been obtained. Among possible funding options the Company may consider, if necessary, are loans or investments in the Company by our current sole stockholder, officer and director, William Tay, or other investors. If necessary, the Company will consider these and other yet to be identified various options for raising funds and paying these expenses. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in raising funds, if fundraising becomes necessary.
This registration statement contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us, our industry and to other businesses.
These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management. When used in this registration statement, the words "estimate," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in our forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this registration statement. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this registration statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ITEM 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
We were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. We are an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“the JOBS Act”), that eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) reporting and disclosure rules (See “Emerging Growth Companies” section above). Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the Jobs Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money in our treasury or with additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
| (i) | filing of Exchange Act reports (legal, accounting and auditing fees) in the amount of approximately $5,000; and |
| | |
| (ii) | costs relating to consummating an acquisition in the amount of approximately $10,000 to pay for legal fees and audit fees. |
| | |
We believe we will be able to meet the costs of filing Exchange Act reports during the next 12 months through use of funds to be loaned to or invested in us by Mr. William Tay, our sole officer, director and shareholder, or other investors. However, there is no guarantee that such additional funds will be made available to us or on terms that are favorable to us. If we enter into a business combination with a target entity, we will require the target company to pay the acquisition related fees and expenses as a condition precedent to such an agreement. To date, we have had no discussions with our sole shareholder, officer and director, Mr. William Tay, or other investors, regarding funding and no funding commitment for future expenses has been obtained. If in the future we need funds to pay expenses, we will consider these and other yet to be identified options for raising funds and/or paying expenses. Obviously, if Mr. Tay, or other investors, does not loan to or invest sufficient funds in us, then we will not be able to meet our SEC reporting obligations and will not be able to attract a private company with which to combine.
-17-
We are in the development stage and have negative working capital, negative stockholders’ equity and have not earned any revenues from operations to date. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently devoting our efforts to locating merger candidates. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations.
The Company may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. Our management believes that the public company status that results from a combination with the Company will provide such company greater access to the capital markets, increase its visibility in the investment community, and offer the opportunity to utilize its stock to make acquisitions. However, there is no assurance that the Company will have greater access to capital due to its public company status, and therefore a business combination with an operating company in need of additional capital may expose the Company to additional risks and challenges. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.
We have, and will continue to have, no capital with which to provide the owners of business entities with any cash or other assets. However, we offer owners of target businesses the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a reporting company without the time required to become a reporting company by other means.
Our sole officer and director has not had any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with us. Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.
Our management anticipates that we will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and the dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
Current economic and financial conditions are volatile and affect the selection of a business combination and increase the complex ability of the Company’s goals. Business and consumer concerns over the economy, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. financial markets and the national debt have contributed to this volatility. These factors, combined with declining and failing businesses, reduced consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have caused a global slow-down. We cannot accurately predict how long these current economic conditions will persist, whether the economy will deteriorate further and how we will be affected.
Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
-18-
We intend to search for a target business combination by contacting various sources including, but not limited to, our affiliates, lenders, investment banking firms, private equity funds, financial advisors and similar persons, accounting firms and attorneys. The approximate number of persons or entities that will be contacted is unknown and dependent on whether any opportunities are presented by the sources that we contact. However, there is no assurance that we will locate a target company for a business combination.
ITEM 3. PROPERTIES
We neither rent nor own any properties. We utilize the office space and equipment of our management at no cost. Management estimates such amounts to be immaterial. We currently have no policy with respect to investments or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
(a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this registration statement, the number of shares of common stock owned of record and beneficially by executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

| | | | |
William Tay, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director
-19-
William Tay, age 41, acts as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director for the Company since its formation on January 31, 2012. Mr. Tay is also currently the sole officer and director of Artemis Acquisition Corp., Kronos Ventures Corp., Neptune Acquisition Corp., Oceanus Acquisition Corp. and Pacific Quest Ventures Corp. None of these companies currently conduct any business other than filing, or planning to file, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10. For the past five years, Mr. Tay is a private investor, devoting most of his time managing his own investments in securities and residential real estate investments as well as income producing properties. Besides managing his own investments, Mr. Tay is a business consultant, specializing in corporate and securities consulting services for small to medium sized entrepreneurial companies. Mr. Tay has held directorships in the following publicly-held companies in the past: Legend International Holdings, Inc. (OTC-BB: LGDI) from November 2003 to November 2004, Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (OTC: PLGC) from May 2001 to June 2004, and Global Energy Group, Inc. (OTC: GENG) from October 1999 to August 2001. Prior to that, Mr. Tay was a licensed Series 7 Registered Representative for several broker-dealers in New York. Mr. Tay's background in the securities industry and knowledge of financial structures provide us with sufficient management experience to serve as our officer and director.
B. Significant Employees. None.
C. Family Relationships. None.
D. Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings. There have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director, executive officer, promoter or control person of Registrant during the past five years.
E. The Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee, and the Board has no separate committees. The Company has no qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert. The Company intends to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire.
Prior and Current Blank Check Company Experience
William Tay, our sole officer and director, is involved with other existing blank check companies, and is creating additional similar companies. The initial business purpose of each of these companies was or is to engage in a business combination with an unidentified company or companies and each were or will be classified as a blank check company until completion of a business combination.
The information below summarizes all the blank check companies with which Mr. Tay is or has been involved in the past five years which filed a registration statement on Form 10. In all instances that a business combination is transacted with one of these companies, it is required to file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the transaction.

ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
William Tay, our sole officer and director does not receive any compensation for his services rendered to our company since inception, has not received such compensation in the past and is not accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with us. No remuneration of any nature has been paid for or on account of services rendered by a director in such capacity. Our sole officer and director intend to devote no more than five (5) hours a week to our affairs. However, Mr. Tay paid certain formation expenses related to our incorporation and contributed time to such formation and in developing our business concept and plan. The board of directors (consisting solely of Mr. Tay) valued the formation expenses and services at $3,139 and issued 31,390,000 shares of restricted common stock as founder shares to Mr. Tay. To the extent that the formation expenses were less than $3,139, then Mr. Tay is deemed to have received compensation for such difference.
-23-
Mr. Tay will not receive any finder's fee, either directly or indirectly, as a result of his efforts to implement the Company's business plan outlined herein.
It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a business combination with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of our management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity. However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction employment to members of management will not be a consideration in our decision whether to undertake any proposed transaction; however, we cannot guarantee that this policy will be adhered to at the time of making a transaction determination.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by us for the benefit of our employees.
There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be included in this table, or otherwise.
The following table shows for the period ended March 31, 2012, the compensation awarded (earned) or paid by us to our named executive officers or acting in a similar capacity as that term is defined in Item 402(a)(2) of Regulation S-K. There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation that our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be included in this table, or otherwise.

*On January 31, 2012, we issued a total of 31,390,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Tay, at par value $0.0001 per share, as compensation for his services rendered in connection with our corporate formation and developing our business concept and plan.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We utilize the office space and equipment of our management at no cost.
On January 31, 2012, 31,390,000 shares of common stock were issued to William Tay, our sole officer and director.
Except as set forth above, there have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed.
We have not:
| · | Established our own definition for determining whether our director and nominees for directors are "independent" nor have we adopted any other standard of independence employed by any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, though our current directors would not be deemed to be "independent" under any applicable definition given that they are officers of the Company; nor, |
| | |
| · | Established any committees of the Board of Directors. |
| | |
-24-
Given the nature of our company, our limited shareholder base and the current composition of our management, our Board of Directors does not believe that we require any corporate governance committees at this time. Our Board of Directors takes the position that management of a target business will establish:
| | |
| · | Its own Board of Directors, |
| | |
| · | Establish its own definition of 'independent" as related to directors and nominees for directors, |
| | |
| · | Establish committees that will be suitable for its operations after the Company consummates a business combination. |
ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Presently, there are not any material pending legal proceedings to which the Registrant is a party or as to which any of its property is subject, and no such proceedings are known to the Registrant to be threatened or contemplated against it.
ITEM 9. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
(a) Market Information.
Our Common Stock is not trading on any stock exchange.
(b) Holders.
As of the date of this registration statement, there is one holder of an aggregate of 31,390,000 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding.
(c) Dividends.
We have not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of our management to utilize all available funds for the development of our business.
ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On January 31, 2012, 31,390,000 shares were issued to William Tay for founder services rendered to us, valued at $3,139, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a certain stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”). Such shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration at Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction. A form of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
-25-
ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
(a) Common and Preferred Stock.
We are authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 520,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 500,000,000 are shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") and 20,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of of the date of this registration statement, 31,390,000 shares of Common Stock and zero shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. All stockholders are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. The stockholders do not have cumulative or preemptive rights.
Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences to be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
The description of certain matters relating to our securities is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this Form 10.
(b) Debt Securities.
None.
(c) Other Securities to be Registered.
None.
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Hyperion Acquisition Corp.
Philadelphia, PA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Hyperion Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from January 31, 2012 (inception) to March 31, 2012. 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 audit.
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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hyperion Acquisition Corp. as of March 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the initial period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HYPERION ACQUISITION CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 31, 2012 (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
Hyperion Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 31, 2012 and has been inactive since inception. The Company intends to serve as a vehicle to effect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation – Development Stage Company
The Company has not earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Entity” as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 915 (“ASC 915”), Development Stage Entities. Among the disclosures required by ASC 915 are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception.
Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
F-6
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. There were no current or deferred income tax expenses or benefits due to the Company not having any material operations for period ended March 31, 2012.
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification 260 (“ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share”, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. ASC 260 supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260 effective January 31, 2012 (inception).
Basic net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the services received or goods acquired in a share-based payment transaction as services are received or when it obtains the goods as an increase in equity or a liability, depending on whether the instruments granted satisfy the equity or liability classification criteria [ASC 718-10-25-2, Compensation—Stock Compensation, Recognition].
A share-based payment transaction with employees is measured base on the fair value (or, in some cases, a calculated or intrinsic value) of the equity instrument issued. If the fair value of goods or services received in a share-based payment with non-employees is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the equity instrument issued, the fair value of the goods or services received shall be used to measure the transaction. Conversely, if the fair value of the equity instruments issued in a share-based payment transaction with non-employees is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration received, the transaction is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued [ASC 718-10-30-2, Compensation—Stock Compensation, Initial Measurement].
The cost of services received from employees in exchange for awards of share-based compensation generally is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued or at the fair value of the liabilities incurred. The fair value of the liabilities incurred in share-based transactions with employees is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until settlement [ASC 718-10-30-3, Compensation—Stock Compensation, Initial Measurement].
Share-based payments awarded to an employee of the reporting entity by a related party or other holder of an economic interest in the entity as compensation for services provided to the entity are share-based transactions to be accounted for under ASC 718 unless the transfer is clearly for a purpose other than compensation for services to the reporting entity. The substance of such a transaction is that the economic interest holder makes a capital contribution to the reporting entity and that entity makes a share-based payment to its employee in exchange for services rendered [ASC 718-10-15-4, Compensation—Stock Compensation, Scope and Scope Exceptions].
F-7
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. The Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
Note 4 – Stockholder’s Equity
Upon formation, the Board of Directors issued 31,390,000 shares of common stock to the founding shareholder in exchange for incorporation fees of $89, annual resident agent fees in the State of Delaware for $50, and developing the Company’s business concept and plan valued at $3,000 to a total sum of $3,139.
The stockholders’ equity section of the Company contains the following classes of capital stock as of March 31, 2012:
· Common stock, $ 0.0001 par value: 500,000,000 shares authorized; 31,390,000 shares issued and outstanding
· Preferred stock, $ 0.0001 par value: 20,000,000 shares authorized; but not issued and outstanding.
