RISK FACTORS
The Shares are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in our securities. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Memorandum before investing in our Shares. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. To date, the Company's founders have provided funding for operations until the Company raises sufficient capital to provide for the first-year operating expenses.
We are a development stage Company and this makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
We have no operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and future prospects.
For financial accounting purposes, our Company is in its development stage so its operations will be subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business. Included in these risks are our limited capital, corporate infrastructure and marketing arrangements. Our management team is experienced but new to its intended field and well supported by industry experts and consultants. Our Company’s total service lines have had no commercial exposure or sales. The likelihood that we will succeed must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of new businesses.
We have No Revenues to Date and Cannot Assure You That We Will Generate Any Revenues.
Our Company has generated no revenues to date. Most of the time of our management, and most of our limited resources have and will continue to be spent on startup activities which will include but not be limited to software development, contacting potential customers, establishing several initial customers, partners and business alliances, exploring marketing contacts, performing certain research and development activities, executing, updating and monitoring our business plan and model, selecting professional advisors and consultants and seeking capital for the Company. If we generate no revenues or additional startup capital, this will have a material adverse effect on our Company.
We will need subsequent financing; however, there is no assurance that we will obtain it under terms that are agreeable to us.
Although we anticipate that upon realization and completion of the full amount of this Offering, we will be able to generate additional capital to complete our plans, there cannot be any assurance that this can be accomplished. Consequently, we may determine a need to obtain additional financing which could cause additional dilution to subscribing shareholders to this offering. Should full subscription to this offering not be obtained, the purchasers of the Shares hereby offered may not realize any return on their investment and may be exposed to the loss of all or substantially all of their investment.

We intend to file for Patents, Copyrights, Trademark and other IP Protection,but there is No Guarantee that these will be Granted.
The Company plans to file and attempt to obtain patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property protection for its products. However, even if the Company files required protection applications it may desire to file, there is no assurance that any such protections will be granted or, if granted, that the validity of such protections will not be contested in the courts. To date, no applications have been filed in the United States for protections on improvements and enhancements that have or will be developed to bring the products to the point of commercial use. The Company or others intend to file additional applications, but there is no assurance that if such additional applications are filed, that any protections will be granted or, if granted, that the validity of such protections will not be challenged in the courts.
OUR BUSINESS WILL DEPEND UPON OUR ABILITY TO MATCH OUR REFURBISHED EQUIPMENT SUPPLIES WITH APPROPRIATE TELECOMMUNICATIONS OPERATORS’ DEMANDS FOR THE EQUIPMENT AND OUR FAILURE TO DO SO COULD REDUCE OUR NET REVENUE OR INCREASE OUR EXPENSES.
Our success depends on our continued ability to match the equipment needs of telecommunications operators with the supply of refurbished equipment available in the secondary market. Our business will depend upon maintaining business relationships with third parties who can provide us with refurbished equipment and information on available refurbished equipment. Our failure to effectively manage these relationships and match the needs of our customers with available supply of refurbished equipment could damage our ability to generate net revenue. In the event operators decrease the rate at which they de-install their networks, or choose not to de-install their networks at all, it would be more difficult for us to locate this equipment, which could negatively impact our net revenue. Alternatively, if we do not adequately match supply by making equipment purchases in anticipation of sales to our customers that do not materialize prior to the decline in market value of such inventory or obsolescence of such inventory this could result in higher costs to us in the form of future inventory write-downs.
The market for supplying equipment to telecommunications operators is competitive, and if we cannot compete effectively, our net revenue and gross margins might decline.
Competition among companies who supply equipment to telecommunications operators is intense. We currently face competition primarily from three sources: OEMs, distributors and secondary market dealers who sell new and re-used telecommunications infrastructure equipment. If we are unable to compete effectively against our current or future competitors, we may have to lower our selling prices and may experience reduced gross margins and loss of market share, either of which could harm our business.
Competition is likely to increase as new companies enter this market, as current competitors expand their products and services or as our competitors consolidate. Increased competition in the secondary market for telecommunications equipment could also heighten demand for the limited supply of re-used equipment, which would lead to increased prices for, and reduce the availability of, this equipment. Any increase in these prices could significantly impact our ability to maintain our gross margins.
We do not have many formal relationships with suppliers of telecommunications equipment and may not have access to adequate product supply.
Currently, we do not have supply contracts in place for us to obtain the telecommunications equipment we are seeking to sell and we are dependent on the de-installation of equipment by operators to provide us with much of the equipment we plan to sell. Our ability to buy re-used equipment from operators will dependent on our ability to form relationships with such operators. If we fail to develop and maintain these business relationships with operators or they are unwilling to sell re-used equipment to us, our ability to sell re-used equipment will suffer and as a result, we may not be able to become profitable.
3 |
The market for refurbished telecommunications equipment is relatively new and it is unclear whether our equipment and service offerings and our business will achieve long-term market acceptance.
The market for refurbished telecommunications equipment is relatively new and evolving, and we are not certain that our potential customers will adopt and deploy refurbished telecommunications equipment in their networks. For example, with respect to refurbished equipment that includes a significant software component, potential customers may be unable to obtain a license or sublicense for the software. Even if they do purchase refurbished equipment, our potential customers may not choose to purchase refurbished equipment from us for a variety of reasons. Our customers may also re-deploy their displaced equipment within their own networks, which would eliminate their need for our equipment and service offerings. These internal solutions would also limit the supply of refurbished equipment available for us to purchase, which would limit the development of this market.
We may fail to continue to attract, develop and retain key management and sales personnel, which could negatively impact our operating results.
We depend on the performance of our executive officers. The loss of our senior management could negatively impact our operating results and our ability to execute our business strategy. In addition, we depend on our sales professionals to serve customers in each of our markets. The loss of key sales professionals could significantly disrupt our relationships with our customers. We do not have“key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. Competition for employees in the telecommunications equipment industry is intense. Additionally, we depend on our ability to train and develop skilled sales people and an inability to do so would significantly harm our growth prospects and operating performance.
Our business may suffer if we are not successful in our efforts to keep up with a rapidly changing market.
The market for the equipment and services we sell is characterized by technological changes, evolving industry standards, changing customer needs and frequent new equipment and service introductions. Our future success in addressing the needs of our customers will depend, in part, on our ability to timely and cost-effectively:
o | respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes; |
o | develop our internal technical capabilities and expertise; |
o | broaden our equipment and service offerings; and |
o | adapt our services to new technologies as they emerge. |
Our failure in any of these areas could harm our business. Moreover, any increased emphasis on software solutions as opposed to equipment solutions could limit the availability of re-used equipment, decrease customer demand for the equipment we sell, or cause the equipment we sell to become obsolete.
The lifecycles of telecommunications infrastructure equipment may become shorter, which would decrease the supply of, and carrier demand for refurbished equipment, or which could increase our expenses.
Our sales of refurbished equipment depend upon telecommunications operator utilization of existing telecommunications network technology. If the lifecycle of equipment comprising operator networks is significantly shortened for any reason, including technology advancements, the installed base of any particular model would be limited. This limited installed base would reduce the supply of, and demand for, re-used equipment, which could decrease our net revenue. Additionally, to the extent that lifecycles for telecommunications equipment are shortened, equipment we hold in anticipation of future sales may, to an accelerating degree, become less valuable or obsolete and subject to an inventory write-down, which would increase our expense levels.
4 |
Many of our customers are telecommunications operators that may at any time reduce or discontinue their purchases of the equipment we sell to them.
If our customers choose to defer or curtail their capital spending programs, it could have a negative impact on our sales to those telecommunications operators, which would harm our business. A significant portion of our customers are emerging telecommunications operators who compete against existing telecommunications companies. These new participants only recently began to enter these markets, and many of these operators are still building their networks and rolling out their services. They require substantial capital for the development, construction and expansion of their networks and the introduction of their services. If emerging operators fail to acquire and retain customers or are unsuccessful in raising needed funds or responding to any other trends, such as price reductions for their services or diminished demand for telecommunications services in general, then they could be forced to reduce their capital spending programs.
Defects in the equipment we EVENTUALLY sell may seriously harm our credibility and our business.
Telecommunications operators require a strict level of quality and reliability from telecommunications equipment suppliers. Telecommunications equipment is inherently complex and can contain undetected software or hardware errors. Upon commencement of our business operations, if we deliver telecommunications equipment with undetected material defects, our reputation, credibility and equipment sales could suffer. Moreover, because the equipment we sell is integrated into our customers’ networks, it can be difficult to identify the source of a problem should one occur. The occurrence of such defects, errors or failures could also result in delays in installation, product returns, product liability and warranty claims and other losses to us or our customers. Furthermore, we expect to supply most of our customers with warranties that cover the equipment we offer. While we may carry insurance policies covering these possible liabilities, our insurance may not provide sufficient protection should a claim be asserted against us. A material product liability claim, whether successful or not, could be costly, damage our reputation and distract key personnel, any of which could harm our business.
Our quarterly net revenue and the price of our stock may be negatively impacted by the seasonal purchasing patterns of our customers.
Our quarterly net revenue may be subject to the seasonal purchasing patterns of our customers, which may occur as a result of our customers’ annual budgetary, procurement and sales cycles. If our quarterly net revenue fails to meet the expectations of analysts due to those seasonal fluctuations, the trading price of our common stock could be negatively affected.
5 |
Our ability to meet customer demand and the growth of our net revenue could be harmed if we are unable to manage our inventory needs accurately.
To meet customer demand in the future, we believe it is necessary to maintain or increase some levels of inventory. Failure to maintain adequate inventory levels in these products could hurt our ability to make sales to our customers. In the past, we have experienced inventory shortfalls on certain high demand equipment, and we cannot be certain that we will not experience such shortfalls again in the future, which could harm our ability to meet customer demand. Further, rapid technology advancement could make portions of our existing inventory obsolete and cause us to incur losses. In addition, if our forecasts lead to an accumulation of inventories that are not sold in a timely manner, our business could suffer.
OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Based on our financial history since inception, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are a development stage company that has generated very little revenue. Specifically, the Company, while in the development stage, is proceeding with its business plan by seeking smaller projects to generate positive customer support and build experience and a solid number of jobs that we have completed. The Company has taken certain steps in furtherance of this business plan and has started to advertise and market with online referral websites.
Risks Associated with our Securities
THERE IS NO CURRENT TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF AN ESTABLISHED PUBLIC TRADING MARKET, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF OUR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SECURITIES IN THE PUBLIC MARKET.
Our common stock is not currently listed or quoted for trading on any national securities exchange or national quotation system. There is no guarantee that any exchange or quotation system will permit our common stock to be listed and traded. If we fail to obtain a listing on a stock exchange, we may seek quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. FINRA has enacted changes that limit quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board to securities of issuers that are current in their reports filed with the SEC. The effect on the OTC Bulletin Board of these rule changes and other proposed changes cannot be determined at this time. The OTC Bulletin Board is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than stock exchanges. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade our shares, could depress the trading price of our ordinary shares and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.
6 |
OUR SECURITIES ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES WITH LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY.
Our securities should be considered a long-term, illiquid investment. Our common stock has not been registered under the Act, and cannot be sold without registration under the Act or any exemption from registration. In addition, our common stock is not registered under any state securities laws that would permit their transfer. Because of these restrictions and the absence of an active trading market for the securities, a shareholder will likely find it difficult to liquidate an investment.
THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE VOLATILE AND COULD DECLINE FOLLOWING THIS OFFERING AT A TIME WHEN YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR HOLDINGS.
Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our ordinary shares to fluctuate significantly. These factors include:
· | our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors; |
· | changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock; |
· | speculation about our business in the press or the investment community; |
· | significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers; |
· | stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry; |
· | demand for our products; |
· | investor perceptions of our industry in general and our company in particular; |
· | the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; |
· | general economic conditions and trends; |
· | major catastrophic events; |
· | announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures; |
· | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; |
· | loss of external funding sources; |
· | sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant shareholders; and |
· | additions or departures of key personnel. |
Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.
Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. For example, from October 2008 until June 2009, securities markets in the United States and throughout the world experienced a historically large decline in share price. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our ordinary shares and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.
WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AND YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING OUR COMMON STOCK.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If our common stock becomes a “penny stock” we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act (the “Penny Stock Rule”). This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.
7 |
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this report, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this report, includes some statement that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our and their management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the following forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties’ control) or other assumptions.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling security holders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the selling security holders as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holders” and “Plan of Distribution”. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the selling security holders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of common stock was determined by the price of the common stock that was sold to our security holders pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
The offering price of the shares of our common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market.
Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a listing on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an 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 OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

There are no agreements between the Company and any selling shareholder pursuant to which the shares subject to this registration statement were issued.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Prior to being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, stockholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a listing on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an 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 OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by selling security holder must be made at the fixed price of $0.10 until a market develops for the stock.
Once a market has developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders, who may be deemed to be underwriters, directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
· | ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales, |
· | transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, market where our common stock is trading, |
· | through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents, |
· | through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or |
· | any combination of the foregoing. |
In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus. To our best knowledge, none of the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.
We will advise the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling security holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling security holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $41,501.49.

Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds of the offering.

DISCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate History and Background
Powerstorm Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“we”, “Powerstorm” or the “Company”) was formed on October 10, 2011. The Company is principally engaged in the sourcing and operating of companies in the telecommunications infrastructure equipment industry.
We are a development stage company, and to date, our development efforts have been focused primarily on the development and marketing of our business model. In addition, to date we have limited operating history for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. As such, we have not built our customer base or our brand name. In addition, our sources of cash are not adequate for the next 12 months of operations. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we will either have to suspend or cease our expansion plans entirely.
Our Business
We are a development stage company formed solely for the purpose of identifying and consulting with companies operating in the telecommunications infrastructure space. To date, we have not entered into any discussions or negotiations with any targeted companies we would intend to consult. We intend to focus on targets located primarily in Asia, South America and west and Eastern Europe, as we believe that businesses with operating history and growth potential in these locations would benefit significantly from access to the United States markets.
Build On Our Strong Relationships with Major Wireless Carriers
Our strategy is to capitalize on the continued increase in the use of wireless communication services and the infrastructure requirements necessary to deploy current and future generations of wireless communication technologies.
We will focus our sourcing and consulting plans on following three segments of the telecom infrastructure market:
1. | New and refurbished telecom equipment |
2. | Spare part and asset management solutions |
a. | We expect that the continued growth of subscribers for wireless personal communications and phone services will require wireless carriers to add a significant number of additional cell sites to maintain the performance of their networks in the areas they currently cover and to extend service to areas where coverage does not yet exist. In addition, we believe that as data wireless services, such as email, internet access and video, are deployed on a widespread basis, the deployment of these technologies will require wireless carriers to further increase the cell density of their existing networks, may require an overlay of new technology equipment, and may increase the demand for geographic expansion of their network coverage. |
3. | Telecom Tower and Hybrid Power Solutions |
a. | Telecom Tower business is making news lately for the explosive growth and exponential investments involved. It requires a lot of investment to survive and the smaller companies are finding it difficult. There has been some consolidation, which actually takes place and what offers Powerstorm Capital Corporation a great timely opportunity to expand its global expansion vision. |
b. | To meet this demand, we believe wireless carriers will continue to outsource their tower infrastructure needs as a means of improving existing service coverage, implementing new technology, accelerating access to their markets and preserving capital, rather than constructing and operating their own towers and maintaining their own tower service and development capabilities. |
12 |
Competition
The market for our equipment and service offerings is highly competitive. We believe that the trends toward greater demand for telecommunications services, increasing global deregulation and rapid technology advancements characterized by shortened product lifecycles will continue to drive competition in our industry for the foreseeable future. Increased competition may result in price reductions, lower gross margins and loss of our market share. This is due to the fact that we would expect the cost of goods to be more expensive, while the marketability of such products will be decreased due to the increase in suppliers.
Increased competition in the secondary market for telecommunications equipment could also heighten demand for the limited supply of de-installed equipment, which would lead to increased prices for, and reduce the availability of, this equipment. Any increase in these prices could significantly impact our ability to maintain our gross margins. Any reduction in the availability of this equipment could cause us to lose customers.
We currently face competition primarily from original equipment manufacturers, distributors and secondary market dealers. Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources and name recognition, and a larger base of customers. These competitors are also likely to enjoy substantial competitive advantages over us, including the following:
• | ability to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their equipment and related services; |
• | ability to adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can; |
• | ability to expand existing customer relationships and more effectively develop new customer relationships than we can, including securing long term purchase agreements; |
• | ability to leverage their customer relationships through volume purchasing contracts, and other means intended to discourage customers from purchasing products from us; |
• | ability to more rapidly adopt new or emerging technologies and increase the array of products offered to better respond to changes in customer requirements; or product lines; |
• | ability to implement more effective electronic commerce solutions; and |
• | ability to form new alliances or business combinations to rapidly acquire significant market share. |
There can be no assurance that we will have the resources to compete successfully in the future or that competitive pressures will not harm our business.
Key Media Management
On October 22, 2011, we entered into a management agreement with Key Media Management, Inc. (“Key Media”) (the “Management Agreement”). Key Media’s principal is Michel J. Freni, our Chairman. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Key Media will provide us with advice and consulting services related to going public, management, marketing management, strategic planning, corporate organization and structure, financial matters in connection with the operation of the businesses of the Company, expansion of services, acquisitions and business opportunities, and shall review and advise the Company regarding its overall progress, needs and condition.
We have agreed to pay Key Media an annual non-recoupable fee of 120,000 € (or approximately$153,300), payable in one or more installments. The first payment due to Key Media will be payable no later than after we are able to successfully become a publicly reporting company, as well as our ability to raise in excess of $1,000,000.
The Management Agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2013, but may be terminated by either party after five (5) business days after providing written notice of such termination.
A copy of the Management Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Employees

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and results of operations together with the Company’s present financial condition. This section should be read in conjunction with our historical combined and consolidated financial data included elsewhere in this Memorandum. Statements in the Company’s discussion may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions that a number of factors could cause future production, revenues and expenses to differ materially from our expectations. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
Powerstorm Capital Corporation is a development stage company formed solely for the purpose of identifying and consulting with companies related to telecommunications infrastructure. We intend to focus on targets based primarily in Asia, South America, and Europe for two reasons. First, we believe that businesses with an operating history and growth potential in these locations would benefit significantly from access to the United States markets. Second, companies in emerging markets may offer the potential of capital appreciation as those markets experience economic growth.
Our Strategy
We intend to capitalize on the continued increase in the use of wireless communication services and the resulting infrastructure requirements for current and future generations of wireless communication technologies. To that end, we are focusing on three segments of the telecom infrastructure market:
· | New andrefurbished telecom equipment |
· | Spare part and asset management solutions |
· | Telecom tower and hybrid power solutions |
Due to the continued increase in subscribers for wireless personal communication and phone services, we expect wireless carriers will need to add a significant number of cell sites to maintain the performance of their networks in the areas they currently cover and to extend service to new markets. In addition, we believe that as wireless data services, such as e-mail, Internet access, and video, are deployed on a widespread basis, wireless carriers will need to augment the cell density of their existing networks. The widespread deployment of those services also may necessitate an overlay of new technology equipment and increase the demand for geographic expansion of network coverage.
The telecom tower business in particular is experiencing explosive growth, requiring substantial investment. Smaller companies are finding it difficult to commit the necessary resources. We believe that, rather than constructing and operating their own towers and maintaining their own tower service and development capabilities, wireless carriers increasingly will outsource their tower infrastructure needs in order to improve existing service coverage, implement new technology, accelerate access to their markets, and preserve capital. We see a clear market opportunity and growth for Powerstorm to address these needs if we can acquire and integrate the right mix of companies to complement our expertise in telecommunications infrastructure.

Net Loss
We had a net loss of $25,461 for the period from October 10, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011 due to incurred operating expenses and no revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial condition for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the period from inception to December 31, 2011 are summarized as follows:
Working Capital:
June 30, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | |||||||
Current assets | $ | 10,428 | $ | 2,800 | ||||

We are a development stage company and have incurred an accumulated loss of $62,514 sinceinception. Powerstorm has negative working capital of $27,198 at June 30, 2012, which is not sufficient to finance its business plan for the next twelve months. Our independent auditors have issued an audit opinion for us for the financial statements ended December 31, 2011 and the period than ended, which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern due to our limited liquidity and our lack of revenues.
We have minimal operating expenses at the present time due to our limited business activities.To date, our founders have provided funding for our operations.We will, however, be required to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to meet our current administrative expenses.
We are planning to obtain financing either through the issuance of equity or debt. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings, and/or bank financings are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital through other sources.
We didn’t have sufficient resources to effectuate our business plan from October 10, 2011 (Inception) through the quarter ended June 30, 2012. We expected to incur a minimum of $55,000 in expenses during the next 12 months of operations.
We indicated that we would have to raise the funds to pay for these expenses. We may have to borrow money from founders or shareholders, issue debt or equity, or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There is no assurance that we will secure additional capital. There currently are no agreements, arrangements, or understandings that would enable Powerstorm to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, or any other source. If we are unable to raise funds for acquisitions it will have a severe negative impact on our ability to execute our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Estimates
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methods. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine and we must exercise significant judgment. We periodically evaluate our estimates and judgments that are most critical in nature. We believe that the following discussion of critical accounting policies address all important accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our financial statements.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks, which are carried at their amortized costs. The Company capitalizes the filing and legal fees related to the trademark registrations. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by reference to future cash flows from the products underlying these intangible assets. If these estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30,2012, no impairment was recorded.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company expenses the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments over the service period.
Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services are recorded at either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect adoption of the new accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting or financial disclosure matters.

Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
• | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company; |
• | the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); |
• | a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company; |
• | the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); |
20 |
• | the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or |
• | the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |
Board Committees
Our Board of Directors has no separate committees and our Board of Directors acts as the audit committee and the compensation committee. We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our Board of Directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has:
• | been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
• | had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time; |
• | been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; |
• | been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; |
• | been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or |
• | been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.
We have posted a copy of our Code of Ethics on the SEC’s website.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Powerstorm CapitalCorp.
(a development stage company)
El Segundo, California
We have audited the balance sheet of Powerstorm Capital Corp. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from October 10, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011. 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 each 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 Powerstorm Capital Corp. as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 10, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2011, limited liquidity and has not completed its efforts to establish a source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs for the next twelve-month period, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Powerstorm Capital Corp. (the “Company”) is a development stage company incorporated in Delaware on October 10, 2011 and is located in El Segundo, California. The Company was formed solely for the purpose of identifying and entering into business acquisitions within the telecommunications infrastructure space. To date, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with any companies it would intend to acquire. The Company’s management intends to focus on targets located primarily in Asia, South America, and Western and Eastern Europe, as they believe that businesses with operating history and growth potential in these locations would benefit significantly from access to the United States capital markets and may offer the potential for capital appreciation stemming from the economic growth in such emerging markets.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and for the period from October 10, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Development Stage Activities
The Company is presently in the development stage with no revenue. Accordingly, all of the Company’s operating results and cash flows reported in the accompanying financial statements are considered to be those arising from the development stage activities and represent the ‘cumulative from inception’ amounts from its development stage activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks, which are carried at their amortized costs. The Company capitalizes the filing and legal fees related to the trademark registrations, which totaled $2,925 as of December 31, 2011. For the period from October 10, 2011 (inception) toDecember 31, 2011, the Company did not record any trademark amortization as the trademarks have not been approved prior to December 31, 2011.
The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by reference to future cash flows from the products underlying these intangible assets. If these estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. As of December 31, 2011, no impairment was recorded.

POWERSTORM CAPITAL CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based uponwhether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company expenses the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments over the service period.
Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services are recorded at either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing netloss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2011 through October 3, 2012, the financial statement issuance date, for subsequent event disclosure.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect adoption of the new accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and depends upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business. The Company is a development stage company and has incurred an accumulated loss of $25,461 since inception. The Company has working capital of $1,725, which is not sufficient to finance its business plan for the next twelve months. Due to the start-up nature of the Company, the Company expects to incur additional losses in the immediate future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. To date, the Company’s founders have provided funding for operations until the Company raises sufficient capital to provide for the first-year operating expenses.
The Company is planning to obtain financing either through the issuance of equity or debt. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital through other sources.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On November 11, 2011, an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to the Company’s founders for services rendered. These shares were valued and recorded to expense at their par value of $15,000. No proceeds were received for the shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Powerstorm Capital Corp. (the “Company”) is a development stage company incorporated in Delaware on October 10, 2011 and is located in El Segundo, California. The Company was formed solely for the purpose of identifying and entering into business acquisitions within the telecommunications infrastructure space. To date, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with any companies it would intend to acquire. The Company’s management intends to focus on targets located primarily in Asia, South America, and Western and Eastern Europe, as it believes that businesses with operating history and growth potential in these locations would benefit significantly from access to the United States capital markets and may offer the potential for capital appreciation stemming from the economic growth in such emerging markets.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements as of June 30, 2012, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and for the period from October 10, 2011 (inception) through June 30, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial informationand on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, the notes to the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the period from October 10, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011 included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Development Stage Activities
The Company is presently in the development stage, with no revenues. Accordingly, all of the Company’s operating results and cash flows reported in the accompanying financial statements are considered to be those arising from the development stage activities and represent the ”cumulative from inception” amounts from its development stage activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks, which are carried at their amortized costs. The Company capitalizes the filing and legal fees related to the trademark registrations, which totaled $4,150 and $2,925 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30,2012, the Company did not record any trademark amortization as the trademarks registration process had not been completed as ofJune 30, 2012.
F-14 |
POWERSTORM CAPITAL CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by reference to future cash flows from the products underlying these intangible assets. If these estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. As of June 30, 2012, no impairment was recorded.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company expenses the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments over the service period.
Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services are recorded at either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing netloss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities as ofJune 30, 2012.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect adoption of the new accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all transactions from June 30, 2012 through October 3, 2012, the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and depends upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business. The Company is a development stage company and has incurred an accumulated loss of $62,514 since inception. The Company has negative working capital of $27,198, which is not sufficient to finance its business plan for the next twelve months. Due to the start-up nature of the Company, the Company expects to incur additional losses in the immediate future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. To date, the Company’s founders have provided funding for operations until the Company raises sufficient capital to provide for the first-year operating expenses.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that the person, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or fiduciary of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, non-profit entity, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person. The right to indemnification conferred in this Bylaw shall be a contract right. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Bylaw with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person or a claim made by such person against the Company only if such proceeding or claim was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b) Subject to applicable law, the Company shall pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that if and to the extent required by law the payment of expenses incurred by any person covered hereunder in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the affected person to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Bylaw or otherwise.
(c) If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Bylaw is not paid in full within thirty days, or such other period as might be provided pursuant to contract, after a written claim therefor has been received by the Company, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim or may seek whatever other remedy might be provided pursuant to contract. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. If successful in whole or in part, claimant shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Directors, independent legal counsel or shareowners) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Directors, independent legal counsel or shareowners) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(d) Any determination regarding whether indemnification of any person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
(e) The Company may, but shall not be required to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that the person, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, non-profit entity, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person.
(f) The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareowners or disinterested Directors or otherwise.
(g) Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to or at the time of such repeal or modification for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought.
(h) The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 10, 2011. In connection with incorporation, we issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock to our founders. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act 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, the investors 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 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 Act for this transaction.
On October 22, 2011, the Company entered into the Management Agreement. In connection with the Management Agreement, the Company issued 3,630,000 shares of common stock to Key Media for its services on October 27, 2011. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act 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, the investors 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 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 Act for this transaction.
On October 28, 2011, the Company retained Anslow& Jaclin, LLP with respect to the preparation, execution and consummation of the self-filing process. In connection with retainer, the Company agreed to issue a total of 30,000 shares of common stock to Anslow& Jaclin, LLP for its legal services. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act 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.

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 Act for this transaction.
On November 11, 2011, the Company issued a total of 15,000 shares to Sherry Li as a signing bonus for joining the Company. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act 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.

On June 30, 2012, the Company sold through Regulation D Rule 506 offering a total of 100,000 shares of common stock to 20 investors, at a price per share of $0.10 for an aggregate offering price of $10,000. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering.

On March 31, 2012, we issued 31,000 shares to Victoria Burlacu in exchange for marketing and sales advisory services. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the the Act and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act 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.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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.
(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
