The principals seek to improve privately-held companies through operational and strategic initiatives designed to increase their overall value.
Capstone works closely and constructively with the management and boards of the portfolio companies, as mentioned below, Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc., aiming to significantly enhance their long-term earnings power and thus increase shareholder value. While Capstone does not manage the day-to-day operations of these companies, we maintain a thorough understanding of how they operate and evaluate their performance and prospects on an ongoing basis.

In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of risks that are inherent to the business andfinancial services industry. Thefollowing discusses someof the keyinherent risk factorsthat could affectour business andoperations, as wellas other risk factorswhich are particularlyrelevant to us.Other factors besidesthose discussed belowor elsewhere inthis report alsocould adversely affect our business and operations, and these risk factors should not be considered a complete list of potential risks that may affect us. As of the date of this filing our management is aware of the following materialrisks.
Risks Relating To Our Business andMarketplace
We are a start-up company with limited operatinghistory.
Wehave conducted onlyvery limited businessand financial servicesand consulting activitiesto businesses. Accordingly,we have a limited operating history and our business strategy may not be successful. Our failure to implement a successful business strategy willmaterially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results ofoperations.
Wemay need additionalcapital in thefuture to financeour operations, whichwe may notbe able toraise or itmay only beavailable on terms unfavorableto us andor our stockholders.This may resultin our inabilityto fund ourworking capital requirementsand harm our operationalresults.
Wehave and expectto continue tohave substantial capitalexpenditure and workingcapital needs. Webelieve that currentcash on hand andthe other sourcesof liquidity sufficientenough to fundour operations inthe ordinary courseof business throughfiscal 2014. However, ifwe experience extraordinaryexpenses or otherevents beyond ourcontrol, we mayneed to raiseadditional funds tocontinue our operations.
Additionalfinancing might notbe available onterms favorable tous, or atall. If adequatefunds were notavailable or werenot available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwiserespond to competitivepressures would besignificantly limited.
Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (“TCH”) and Capstone entered into a Common Stock Put Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2014 (the “Put Agreement”). Pursuant to the Put Agreement, Capstone indicated its intent to exercise the First Warrant at a rate of no less than 1,461,988 shares of Common Stock (“the Minimum Amount”) per month over the term of the First Warrant (the “Minimum Rate”). In the event that Capstone does not exercise the First Warrant by November 15, 2014 and later amended to extend this to February 15, 2015 or any subsequent Periodic Exercise Date (as defined in the Put Agreement) such that as of the applicable Exercise Date, Capstone’s cumulative purchases of Common Stock pursuant to the First Warrant has not been at a rate that is equal to or in excess of the Minimum Rate, then TCH has the right to notify Capstone not earlier than 30 days and not later than 40 days after the applicable Exercise Date of TCH’s exercise of its put rights under the Put Agreement (the “Put Notice”). Upon receipt of the Put Notice, Capstone is required to exercise the First Warrant to (i) purchase the Minimum Amount by a date identified in the Put Notice that is no earlier than 10 days after and no later than 30 days after the date of the Put Notice (the “Put Date”), or if Capstone has previously exercised the First Warrant to purchase shares in excess of the Minimum Rate, then such lesser amount of Common Stock as would, if purchased as of the applicable Exercise Date, have made Capstone’s purchases of Common Stock pursuant to the First Warrant as of such Exercise Date equal to the Minimum Rate (the “Initial Mandatory Purchase”), and (ii) purchase by a date that is no later than each subsequent Periodic Exercise Date an amount of Common Stock such that as of each such Periodic Exercise Date, Capstone’s cumulative purchases of Common Stock pursuant to the First Warrant through that date has been at a rate that is no less than the Minimum Rate (the “Periodic Mandatory Purchases”). Following delivery of the Put Notice by TCH, Capstone’s failure to make the Initial Mandatory Purchase by the Put Date shall be an “Event of Default”. Following the delivery of the Put Notice by TCH, Capstone’s failure to make, when due, any Periodic Mandatory Purchase is a breach of the Put Agreement, and if such breach is not timely cured by Capstone, such uncured breach shall be deemed an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described above, (i) Capstone’s right to purchase all shares of Common Stock remaining unpurchased under the First Warrant is converted into an obligation, accelerated and immediately due and (ii) the Second Warrant immediately terminates as to any shares of Common Stock remaining exercisable under the Second Warrant. In the event TCH invokes its right pursuant to the Put Notice to require Capstone to exercise the First Warrant, the purchase price per share of Common Stock thereunder is $0.775 per share. In the event that TCH converts and accelerates Capstone’s obligations to purchase the shares of Common Stock remaining unexercised under the First Warrant, Capstone has the right to surrender issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to TCH to be credited towards Capstone’s obligations, with such surrendered shares valued at $0.76 per share of Common Stock. On December 15, 2014, the Company and Capstone entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Common Stock Put Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment extends the date on which the Company’s right to deliver the Put Notice (as defined in the Put Agreement) can first arise from December 15, 2014 to February 16, 2015. As of this filing date the Company has not exercised the "minimum amount" of shares per the agreement but expects to be fully current within the 40 day range as mentioned above.
Asa business and holding company, our success depends, in part, on the results of the companies in which we invest.
Our ability to achieve our business objectives will depend on our ability to effectively manage and deploy our capital, which will depend, in turn, on our management’s ability to identify, evaluate, invest in, and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria. If a major investment has business setbacks it would adversely affect our financial results.
Wemay not beable to retainour key personnelor hire thepersonnel we needto sustain andgrow our business.
Weface intense competitionfor qualified employeesfrom businesses inthe financial servicesindustry. Our performanceis highly dependent upon our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled, talented employees. Given our relatively small size compared to some ofour competitors, theperformance of ourbusiness may bemore adversely affectedthan our competitorswould be ifwe lose well-performing employees and are unable to attract new ones.
Our financial reporting in the past was unreliable.
We have determined that as of December 31, 2013 we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have had to restate past financial results. These facts may result in some ongoing lack of confidence by investors in our present and future reports of our financial results and status.
Changesin accounting standards,especially those thatrelate to managementestimates and assumptions,are unpredictable andmay materially impact how we report and record our financial condition.
Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results ofoperations. Some of these policies require use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results and are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. From time to timethe Financial AccountingStandards Board (“FASB”)and the SECchange the financialaccounting and reportingstandards that govern thepreparation of ourfinancial statements. Inaddition, accounting standardsetters and thosewho interpret theaccounting standards (such as the FASB, the SEC, banking regulators and our outside auditors) may change or even reverse their previous interpretations or positions on how thesestandards should beapplied. These changescan be hardto predict andcan materially impacthow we recordand report our financialcondition and resultsof operations. Insome cases, we couldbe required toapply a new orrevised standard retroactively,resulting in our restating prior period financial statements.
Weare an “emerginggrowth company” underthe JOBS Actof 2012, andwe cannot becertain if thereduced disclosure requirements applicableto emerging growthcompanies will makeour common stockless attractive toinvestors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we maytake advantage of certainexemptions from variousreporting requirements thatare applicable toother public companiesthat are not“emerging growth companies”including, but notlimited to, notbeing required tocomply with theauditor attestation requirementsof Section 404of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,reduced disclosure obligationsregarding executive compensationin our periodicreports and proxystatements, and exemptions fromthe requirements ofholding a nonbindingadvisory vote onexecutive compensation andshareholder approval ofany golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may relyon these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for ourcommon stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Inaddition, Section 107of the JOBSAct also providesthat an “emerginggrowth company” cantake advantage ofthe extended transition periodprovided in Section7(a)(2)(B) of theSecuritiesAct forcomplying with newor revised accountingstandards. In otherwords, an “emerging growthcompany” can delaythe adoption ofcertain accounting standardsuntil those standardswould otherwise applyto private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result,our financial statements maynot be comparableto those ofcompanies that comply withpublic company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed$1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700million.”
Even if we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company”, we may still be subject to reduced reporting requirements so long as weare considered a “Smaller ReportingCompany.”
Manyof the exemptionsavailable for emerginggrowth companies arealso available tosmaller reporting companieslike us thathave less than $75 million of worldwide common equity held by non-affiliates. So, although we may no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still be subject to reduced reportingrequirements.
Our ability to utilize NOLs or recognize tax benefits on future domestic U. S. Tax losses may be limited.
Our ability to fully utilize its existing U.S. Federal NOL could be limited or eliminated should the Company (i) under an “ownership change” as described under Section 382 of the Tax Code or (ii) be found by the IRS not to be able to avail itself of Section 382(1)(5) of the Tax Code.
The Company has not completed a formal Section 382 analysis regarding the limitation of net operating loss carryforwards. As such, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if an ownership change occurred. The Company does not presently plan to complete a formal Section 382 analysis, and there is a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets for net operating losses. The company plans to perform a formal Section 382 analysis if there is sufficient taxable income in future years to begin utilizing its net operating loss carryforwards.
We may be subject to further regulation.
We do not believe that our business activities require us to register as a broker – dealer or as an investment company. If our registration were required, we would experience compliance costs and reduced flexibility.
Risks Relating To Our CommonStock
Our commonstock currently haslow trading volumeand any saleof a significantnumber of sharesis likely todepress the tradingprice.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB. Traditionally, the trading volume of the common stock has been limited. Because ofthis limited trading volume, holders of our securities may not be able to sell quickly any significant number of such shares, and any attempted saleof a largenumber of ourshares will likelyhave a materialadverse impact onthe price ofour common stock.Because of thelimited number of sharesbeing traded, theprice per shareis subject tovolatility and maycontinue to besubject to rapidprice swings inthe future.
If thetrading price ofour common stockremains below $5.00per share itwill be deemeda low-priced “Penny”stock and aninvestment in our commonstock should beconsidered high riskand subject tomarketability restrictions.
Ifour common stockremains a pennystock, as definedin Rule 3a51-1under the SecuritiesExchange Act, itwill be moredifficult for investors toliquidate their investmenteven if andwhen a marketdevelops for thecommon stock. Untilthe trading priceof the commonstock rises above $5.00per share, ifever, trading inthe common stockis subject tothe penny stockrules of theSecurities Exchange Actspecified in rules 15g-1through 15g-10. Thoserules require broker-dealers,before effecting transactionsin any pennystock, to:
| · | Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosuredocument; |
| · | Disclose certain price information about thestock; |
| · | Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of thebroker-dealer; |
| · | Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and |
| · | In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. |
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and mayaffect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedurescould also limitour ability toraise additional capitalin the future.
We havethe ability toissue additional sharesof our commonstock and sharesof preferred stockwithout asking forstockholder approval, which could cause your investment to bediluted.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock and10,000,000 shares of preferredstock.The powerof the Boardof Directors toissue shares ofcommon stock, preferredstock or warrantsor options to purchaseshares of commonstock or preferredstock (and the power of the Board of Directors to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of one or more series of preferred stock)is generallynot subject toshareholder approval. Accordingly,any additional issuanceof our common stock,or preferred stockthat may be convertible into commonstock, may have the effect ofdiluting one’s investment.
FINRAsales practice requirementsmay also limit the liquidity of the market forour stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investmentto a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative lowpriced securities totheir non-institutional customers,broker-dealers must makereasonable efforts toobtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRAbelieves that there isa high probabilitythat speculative lowpriced securities willnot be suitablefor at leastsome customers. TheFINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for ourshares.
If we fail to maintain our membership in FINRA, registration with the SEC, or fail to meet certain state securities regulations, we could be removed from the OTCQB, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, generally must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. More specifically, FINRA has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission. Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times in a two-year period or our securities are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file twice in a two-year period, then we will be ineligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affectedby limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell theirsecurities in the secondary market. As of the date of this filing, we have no late filings reported by FINRA.
Our internalcontrols may be inadequate, which couldcause our financialreporting to beunreliable and leadto misinformation being disseminated to thepublic.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
We have a limited number of personnel that are required to perform various roles and duties. We have had issues whereby omitted liabilities and expenses were not included in the previous Form 10-K at December 31, 2013 which have been corrected here in this amended Form 10-K/A for December 31, 2013 dated February 18, 2015. These individuals developed our internal control procedures and are responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with those procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.
Concentrated Ownership. In excess of a majority of our outstanding voting securities are held by two individuals and they can elect all directors who in turn elect all officers, without the votes of any other stockholders.
Our Chief Executive Officer and our President,collectively own 84% of our outstanding voting securities and,accordingly, have effective control of us and may have effective control of us for the near and long term future. Votes of other stockholders can have little effect when we are managed by our Board of Directors and operated through our officers, all of whom can be elected by these two individuals.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the nearfuture.
We do not expect to declare orpay any dividendson our commonstock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment in the future of any cash or stock dividends on the common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon a variety of factors, including our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness, if any, and to pay dividends on securities ranking senior to the common stock, our future earnings, if any, capital requirements, financial conditionand such otherfactors as ourBoard of Directorsmay consider tobe relevant from time to time. Our earnings, if any, are expected to be retained for use in expanding our business.

| ITEM 7 | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS DATA |
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Our Operations
Capstone Financial Group, Inc. provides business and financial services to help companies strengthen and grow their businesses. From time to time we hold equity positions in other operating companies.
Going Concern
TheCompany’s financial statementsare prepared usinggenerally accepted accountingprinciples in theUnited States ofAmerica applicable to agoing concern whichcontemplates the realizationof assets andliquidation of liabilitiesin the normalcourse of business.The Company has notyet established anongoing source ofrevenues sufficient tocover its operatingcosts and allowit to continueas a going concern.As of December31, 2013, theCompany had anaccumulated deficit of$773,474. The abilityof the Companyto continue asa going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue.During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we generated $164,593 and $0 in revenues, respectively.
General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses increased $301,467 to $302,151 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $684 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was as largely due to our transition from shell company status to active operating activity, including an increase of rent expense $92,912, travel of $49,212, and marketing expenses of $35,188.
Payroll Expenses.Payroll Expense increased 100% to $205,607 in the year ended December 31, 2013 as there were no employees for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in payroll expenses was the result of our transition from shell company status to active operating activity, including compensation for new management.
Professional Fees.Professional fees increased to $352,270 in the year ended December31, 2013 from$42,976 for theyear ended December31, 2012. The increase in professional fees was the result of an increase in legal and accounting fees associated with public company filings.
InterestExpense – RelatedParty.Interest expense– related partyincreased $4,655 to$4,938 in theyear ended December 31,2013 from $283for the yearended December 31,2012.
Net Loss.In the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated a net loss of $729,030, an increase in net lossof $684,586 from $44,444 for the yearended December 31, 2012. The increase was largely due to our transition from shell company status to active operating activity along with increased accounting and legal fees.
Liquidity and CapitalResources
Asof December 31,2013, we had$0 in cash on hand. Clearly this amount of cash if not augmented, would be insufficient to maintain our operations.Sinceinception, we havefinanced our cashflow requirements through issuance of common stock. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations.
Eventhough we havebegun to generaterevenues, we canmake no assurancesand therefore wemay incur operatinglosses in thenext twelve months. Ourlimited operating historymakes predictions offuture operating resultsdifficult to ascertain.In the futurewe anticipate obtaining additionalfinancing to fundoperations through commonstock offerings, tothe extent available,or to obtainadditional financing tothe extent necessary to augment our working capital.
Thefollowing table providesdetailed information aboutour net cashflow for allfinancial statement periodspresented in thisAnnual Report. To date,we have financeda majority ofour operations throughthe issuance ofstock and borrowings.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| | | For the year ended December 31, |
| | | 2013 | | 2012 |
| Net cash used in operating activities | | $ | (1,389,140 | ) | | $ | (42,860 | ) |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 1,383,000 | | | | 49,000 | |
| Net increase (decrease) in Cash | | | (6,140 | ) | | | 6,140 | |
| Cash , beginning | | | 6,140 | | | | — | |
| Cash, ending | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,140 | |
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,389,140 for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $42,860 used in operating activities for the same period in 2012. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to our advances of $580,043, net to Capstone Affluent Strategies, Inc. under a revolving line of credit. Capstone Affluent Strategies was owned by Darin Pastor, our current Chief Executive Officer and majority shareholder. In 2014, we acquired the business of Capstone Affluent Strategies from Mr. Pastor. In 2013 we also experienced an increase in professional fees as a result of increased legal work.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the period ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $0 used in investing activities for the same period in 2012.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1,383,000, as compared to $49,000 for the same period of 2012. The increase of net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to capital raised through the saleof common stock.
We believe that cash flow from operations will not meet our present and near-term cash needs and thus we will require additional cash resources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, finalization and launch of our website, implementation of our strategy to expand our sales and marketing initiatives, increase brand and services awareness. If our own financial resources and then current cash-flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We donot have anyoff-balance sheet arrangements that have orare reasonably likelyto have a currentor future effect on our financialcondition, changes in financial condition, revenuesor expenses, resultsof operations, liquidity,capital expenditures or capital resources that is material toinvestors.
Operation Plan
At present the majority of our investment activity has been directed toward Twinlab/Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. as described in item 1 of this filing. In the future we intend to develop divisions within the Company that will provide small and lower middle market businesses with opportunities for optimal financing, growth, mergers and acquisitions and increased market share. Some of the divisions may include an Investment Banking division, a Clean Technology andIndustrial Growth Group.These added divisionswill enable Capstone to better advise and assist current and potential corporate clients. As of the date of this filing, these divisions have not been created.

| ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
See Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules within this Form 10-K.
| ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
Although we do not consider that any “reportable event” has occurred, we disclose that our dismissal of Seale and Beers, CPAs on August 4, 2014 and our engagement of Squar Milner Peterson Miranda & Williamson, LLP as our new auditors on September 5, 2014 necessitated the filing of this amended Form 10-K Annual Report. We have had no disagreements with our old or new independent auditors on accounting or financial disclosures.
| ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We are responsible for preparing our annual consolidated financial statements and for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making our assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework in 2013. Based on that assessment, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management concluded that material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2013:
| (1) | we do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions; |
| (2) | we have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, account reconciliations and approval and the performance of bank reconciliations; |
| (3) | we have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by reliance on third-party experts and/or consultants and insufficient accounting staff; |
| (4) | we do not have a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls, approvals and procedures. |
Due to the material weaknesses that management identified, it was unable to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control Over FinancialReporting
Since the fourth quarter 2013, we have made changes that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These changes include additional external accounting services as well as timely reviews by management and coordination with these consultants.
No substantial changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter. Since the fourth quarter 2013, we have made changes that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These changes include new independent registered public accountants and additional external accounting services as well as timely reviews by management and coordination with these consultants.

Family Relationships

Code of Ethics
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
| (1) | | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| (2) | | Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer; |
| (3) | | Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we have adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
Corporate Governance
We currently do not have standing audit, nominating and compensation committees of the board of directors, or committees performing similar functions. Until formal committees are established, our entire Board of Directors performs the same functions as an audit, nominating and compensation committee.
| ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |
Overview of Compensation Program
We currently have not appointed members to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Until a formal committee is established, our entire Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Board of Directors ensures that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable and competitive.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Board of Directors believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. As a result of the size of the Company and only having three executive officers, the Board evaluates both performance and compensation on an informal basis. Upon hiring additional executives, the Board intends to establish a Compensation Committee to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly-situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Board believes executive compensation packages provided by the Company to its executives, including the named executive officers should include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Board of Directors makes all compensation decisions for, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to, the executive officers and Directors of the Company. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other employees of the Company are made by management.
Summary Compensation
The following table details compensation paid to the Company’s Officers and Directors for the year ended December 31, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Capstone Financial Group, Inc:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Capstone Financial Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2013 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capstone Financial Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company changed its business to a holding company. Capstone uses its own capital to acquire the outstanding stock of other companies. Capstone does not produce goods or services itself. Rather, its primary purpose is to own and trade shares of other companies. Capstone's principals have a long track record of implementing operational improvements through the exercise of influence at a company, often as a result of becoming one of its largest shareholders.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of our fees is probable.
The Company will record revenue when it is realizable and earned and the services have been rendered to the customers. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded $164,593 in revenue related to professional services and expenses rendered in connection with agreement dated August 26, 2013 that was assigned by an officer, director and shareholder of the Company.
Advertisingcosts
Advertising costs are anticipated to be expensed as incurred; however there were $44,173 and $0 advertising and marketing costs included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 and from Inception (July 10, 2012) to December 31, 2012.
Fair value of financialinstruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management asof December 31, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in activemarkets.

Fair value of financialinstruments
Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist,they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in threesituations.
Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fairvalue measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describesLevel 3 inputsas “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability atthe measurement date”. Earlier in thestandard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Stock-basedcompensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards.This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee servicesis determined on the earliest of a performance commitmentor completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC505-50.
Earnings pershare
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation. As of December 31, 2013, there were no dilutive common sharesoutstanding.

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 revenue and expenses during thereporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Concentration ofrevenue
During the year ended December 31, 2013, there was $164,593 in revenue generated from two customers.
Income taxes
The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting andtax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non- current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As ofDecember 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has nothad a material effect on the Company.
Recentpronouncements
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through the date of this filing and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Commitments
At December 31, 2013 the Company had no outstanding commitments

NOTE 2 – GOINGCONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assetsand the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – LINE OF CREDITRECEIVABLE, NET – RELATED PARTY
On August 8, 2013, the Company entered into (as borrower) an unsecured $500,000 revolving line of credit with Capstone Affluent Strategies, Inc., which was owned and controlled by Darin Pastor. The line of credit bore interest at 2% per annum with principal and interest due on August 8, 2015. At December 31, 2013, the balance payable on the line of credit was $892,093 as the amount increased due to unrecorded expenses and the need for this restatement.
On September 13, 2013, the Company entered into (as lender) an unsecured $500,000 revolving line of credit with Capstone Affluent Strategies, Inc., which was owned and controlled by Darin Pastor. In October 2013, the maximum amount available under this line of credit was increased to $2,000,000. The line of credit bore interest at 2% per annum with principal and interest due on September 13, 2015. At December 31, 2013, the balance receivable on the line of credit was $1,472,136.
The above receivable and payable with Capstone Affluent Strategies,Inc.has been presented as a net receivable in the accompanying balance sheet in the amount of $580,043 due to a right of offset.
NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY
On July 12, 2012, the Company executed a promissory note with a related party for $10,000. The unsecured loan bears interest at 6% per annum with principal and interest due on July 13, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2013, related party loaned an additional $3,500 to the Company with the same terms as the previous promissory note for $10,000. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the related party forgave the entire balance of principal of $13,500 and accrued interest of $702. As of December 31, 2013, the balance of accrued interest was $0.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
The FASB Topic on Income Taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company has not completed a formal Section 382 analysis regarding the limitation of net operating loss carryforwards. As such, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if an ownership change occurred. The Company does not presently plan to complete a formal Section 382 analysis, and there is a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets for net operating losses. The company plans to perform a formal Section 382 analysis if there is sufficient taxable income in future years to begin utilizing its net operating loss carryforwards.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a cumulative federal operating loss carryforwards of approximately $736,000 and $45,000, respectively, which begins to expire in 2032.
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $302,397 and $15,380, respectively. The net operating losses will begin to expire in 2032. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 will not be realized based on the management’s assessment that the deductions ultimately recognized for tax purposes will be fully utilized. Therefore full valuation allowances were set up for these deferred tax assets as of 12/31/2013 and 12/31/2012.
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at December 31, 2013 and 2012:
