CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE
(1) This Registration Statement covers the resale by our selling shareholders of up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock previously issued to such selling shareholders.
(2) The offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(o). Our common stock is not traded on any national exchange and in accordance with Rule 457; the offering price was determined by the price of the shares that were sold to our shareholders in accordance with a private placement memorandum. The price of $0.025 is a fixed price at which the selling security holders may sell their shares until our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
THE REGISTRANT HEREBY AMENDS THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SUCH DATE OR DATES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DELAY ITS EFFECTIVE DATE UNTIL THE REGISTRANT SHALL FILE A FURTHER AMENDMENT WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL THEREAFTER BECOME EFFECTIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8(a) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE ON SUCH DATE AS THE COMMISSION, ACTING PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION 8(a), MAY DETERMINE.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision. In this Prospectus, the terms “Galenfeha” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Galenfeha, Inc.
The Company
Galenfeha incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 14, 2013, as a for-profit company with a fiscal year end of December 31. Our business office is located at 2705 Brown Trail, Suite 100, Bedford, Texas 76021. Our Telephone numbers are Toll free 1-800-280-2404, International 1-817-945-6448, and our facsimile number is 817-887-1455. Our email address isinfo@galenfeha.com and our website address iswww.galenfeha.com.
We intend on developing new technology to more efficiently produce sustainable energy to satisfy the growing needs of the planet. We are considered a development stage company. We currently have no product, but we intend to identify and distinguish ourselves by developing more efficient ways to produce energy using proprietary technology developed by the company.
Our Operations
From inception until the date of this filing, we have had no operating activities. Our financial statements from inception (March 14, 2013) through the quarter ended March 31, 2013, reports no revenues and a net loss of ($1,115). Our independent registered public accountant has issued an opinion on the financial statements for Galenfeha which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Business Plan
Our intended revenue stream will come from the marketing of our products, intellectual property, and contractual engineering to assist energy producers in the implementation of our products and technology, initially in the state of Texas and Louisiana. We intend to focus on developing products to reduce our customers cost associated with current energy production, including carbon footprint, hazardous waste, and other non-sustainable aspects of producing energy with current technologies. Since we are presently in the development stage of our business, we can provide no assurance that we will successfully develop and sell any products or services related to our planned activities.
Development Stage Company Status
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 no revenue and has limited tangible assets. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. Our company’s operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to operate on a profitable basis. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose their total investment in our company.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We have not made a decision whether to take advantage of any or all of these exemptions. If we do take advantage of any of these exemptions, we do not know if some investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result. The result may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
4
We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (b) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

RISK FACTORS
The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling security holders 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 the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. 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. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
We are a recently organized development stage company and have not yet commenced operations in our business. We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.
5
We were incorporated on March 14, 2013 and to date have been involved primarily in organization activities. We have not yet commenced business operations. Further, we have not yet fully developed our business plan, or our management team, nor have we targeted or assembled any real or intangible property rights. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new and developing company and the high rate of failure for such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the operations that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to the market acceptance of our new products, developing relationship with suppliers, distribution and challenges, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Prior to time that we are ready to market and distribute our prospective product lines, we anticipate that Galenfeha will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if the effectiveness of our business plan is not forthcoming we will not be able to continue business operations. There is no operating history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
We have incurred net losses since our inception and expect losses to continue.
We have not been profitable since our inception. Since our inception on March 14, 2013 to March 31, 2013, we had a net loss of ($1,115). We have not generated revenues from operations and do not expect to generate revenues from operations unless and until we are able to bring products to market. There is a risk that we may never bring our products to the market place or that our products will attract customers. In addition, there is no guarantee that our operations will be profitable in the future and you could lose your entire investment.
We may not be able to continue as a going concern if we do not obtain additional financing.
Our independent accountant’s audit report states that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred only losses since our inception raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, our ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon obtaining additional financing for our planned operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or we are able to raise additional funds, that such funds will be in the amounts required or on terms favorable to us.
Our competition is intense in all phases of our business.
Energy production has been historically dominated by large scale producers. Nearly all of our competitors are more experienced, have vastly greater financial and management resources and have more established relations with customers than we do. These and other competitors are likely to have distribution channels for their products that we do not have, which places us at a significant disadvantage. Failure of the Company to achieve market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and the results of our operations.
Our Directors, President and Chief Executive officer do not have any formal training specific to the production of energy using alternate methods.
Our President and Chief Executive Officer is James Ketner. While, Mr. Ketner does have extensive knowledge in engineering, he has no direct training or experience in developing and marketing alternative energy production. Our management team may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Consequently, our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management’s lack of experience in this industry.
Our Directors, and current President and Chief Executive officer maybe involved with other business interests.
Our Directors hold other business interest, and may not be able to devote adequate time to developing our business if these other interests become more involved. James Ketner, our President and Chief Executive Officer, will be devoting all of his efforts to the success of Galenfeha, which will be in excess of 40 hours per week. While he presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interest, it is possible that the demands on him from other obligations could increase, with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. The loss of Mr. Ketner to our company could negatively impact our business development.
We have requirements for and there is an uncertainty of access to additional capital.
At March 31, 2013, we had $27,000 cash and an operating loss of $1,115. We will continue to incur development costs to fund our plan of operations and intend to fund our plan of operations from working capital, equity subscriptions and shareholders’ loans. Ultimately, our ability to continue our business operations depends in part on our ability to obtain financing through, debt financing, equity financing, or commence operations and generate revenues or some combination of these or other means. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing.
6
We have no cash flow from operations and depend on equity financing, and or debt financing for the foreseeable future for our operations.
Our current operations do not generate any cash flow. Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete our intended plan of operations. We currently only have enough funds to operate our business on a limited basis. We will need additional funding to secure our current business plan. Our failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further operations which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
We lack an operating history.
We were incorporated on March 14, 2013 and we have not realized any revenues. We have very little operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to develop our products, and attract customers and to generate revenues through our sales, and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in the execution of our business model.
We expect to incur losses in the future.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
Our operating results may prove unpredictable.
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control over. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: our ability to generate enough working capital from future equity sales, and or debt financing; the level of commercial acceptance by customers of our products; fluctuations in the demands of our products; the amount and timing operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations, infrastructure and general economic conditions. If realized, any of these factors could have a material effect on our business, financial condition and operating results, which could result in the complete loss of your investment.
We may not be able to source niche products and gain any significant market acceptance.
The Company’s growth strategy is substantially dependent upon its ability to develop new technology in energy production and to market those products successfully to prospective clients. However, its planned products may not achieve significant acceptance. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant period of time. Failure of the Company’s to develop new products and achieve market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of our operations.
Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with the minority shareholders.
Our Directors and officers beneficially own 90% of our outstanding common stock. Assuming the Directors and Officers sell all of their 3,508,000 shares in this offering, our Directors and officers will own approximately 84% of all the Company’s shares of common stock. The interest of our officers and directors may not be, at all times, the same as that of our other shareholders. Our Officers and Directors are not simply passive investors and their interests as executives and directors may, at times be adverse to those of passive investors. Where those conflicts exist, our shareholders will be dependent upon our officers and directors exercising, in a manner fair to all of our shareholders, their fiduciary duties as officers or as members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Also, our affiliates have the ability to control the outcome of most corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation and the election of directors. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us, which may be disadvantageous to minority shareholders.
The lack of public company experience of our management team could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S. securities laws.
OurDirectors lack public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our president and CEO Mr. James Ketner has experience managing a publicly traded company, and our current management team relies solely on his experience. Our management team relies on Mr. Ketner’s experience to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our company.
7
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting which, in turn, could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.
We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may still decline to attest to our management’s assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if they are not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. If we fail to timely achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting at a reasonable assurance level. Moreover, effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our common stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As of the date of this prospectus we do not have an estimate of the costs to the company of compliance with the Act.
We have not yet begun preparing for compliance with Section 404, but we are aware we must do so by strengthening, assessing and testing our system of internal controls to provide the basis for our report. The process of strengthening our internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming, and requires significant management attention. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we will maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Furthermore, as we grow our business, our internal controls will become more complex and will require significantly more resources to ensure our internal controls overall remain effective. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we or our auditors discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price.
RISK RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL STOCK
We may never pay any dividends to shareholders.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
Our articles of incorporation and applicable Nevada law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s written promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us which we will be unable to recoup.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
8
controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, eitherof which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we decide to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock could be less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we could 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 held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
The offering price of the common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering, and therefore should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities. Therefore, the offering price bears no relationship to our actual value, and may make our shares difficult to sell.
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.025 per share for the shares of common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering. 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. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
You will experience dilution of your ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously un-issued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 500,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock will be quoted on the OTCBB.
Our common stock is considered a penny stock, which may be subject to restrictions on marketability, so you may not be able to sell your shares.
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
9
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
There is no assurance of a public market or that our common stock will ever trade on a recognized exchange. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock.
There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our shares have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.
Investing in the company is highly speculative investment.
A purchase of the offered shares is highly speculative and involves significant risks. The offered shares should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford the loss of their entire investment. The business objectives of the Company are also speculative, and it is possible that we could be unable to satisfy them. The Company’s shareholders may be unable to realize a substantial return on their purchase of the offered shares, or any return whatsoever, and may lose their entire investment. For this reason, each prospective purchaser of the offered shares should read this prospectus and all of its exhibits carefully and consult with their attorney, business and/or investment advisor.
Buyers will pay more for our common stock than the pro rata portion of the assets.
The offering price and other terms and conditions regarding the Company’s shares have been arbitrarily determined and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. Additionally, no investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares. Buyers of our shares pursuant to this offering will pay more for our common stock than the pro-rata portion of the assets are worth and as a result, investing in our Company may result in an immediate loss.
Anti-takeover rules of certain provisions of the Nevada state law my hinder a potential takeover.
The Nevada Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing “Acquisition of Controlling Interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: (1) 20 to 33 1/3%, (2) 33 1/3 to 50%, (3) more than 50%. A “control share acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act. The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of “Issuing Corporations” as defined by the act. An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation, which (1) has 200 or more stockholders, with at least 100 of such stockholders being both stockholders of record and residents of Nevada; or (2) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders of record of Nevada. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, the provisions of the control share acquisitions act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of Galenfeha, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

The information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business plans and expectations. Further any safe harbor protections implied or stated do not apply to any statements made in connection with the offer. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.

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 505 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.
DILUTION
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders as provided in the “Selling Security Holders” section is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The common shares being offered for resale by the selling security holders consist of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock held by 39 shareholders. A regulation D notice was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2013, and the shares sold in our private offering were sold to friends and family at an offering price of $0.025 (of which 100% of those shares are being registered herein).
The following table sets forth the names of the selling security holders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of May 16, 2013 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.

12
To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders or their beneficial owners [except as noted with footnote (1)]:
– | has ever been one of our officers or directors or an officer or director of our predecessors or affiliates unless noted; or |
– | are broker-dealers or affiliated with broker-dealers. |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.025 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, shareholders 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 $0.025 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 $14,530.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds of the offering.

Kyle L. Tingle, CPA, LLC, our independent registered public accountant, has audited our financial statements included in this prospectus and registration statement to the extent and for the periods set forth in their audit reports, dated April 25, 2013, has presented its report with respect to our March 31, 2013 audited financial statements.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Galenfeha was incorporated on March 14, 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Mr. James Ketner has served as President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of our company from March 14, 2013 to the current date. No person other than Mr. Ketner has acted as a promoter of Galenfeha, since our inception. There are no agreements with us pursuant to which Mr. Ketner is to receive from us or provide to us anything of value.
We are a development stage company that intends on marketing new advanced technology for power generation using proprietary techniques developed by the company.
14
Our scientist and engineers will be continuously working on improved methods of energy production and generation the will help meet the planet’s growing energy requirements, and are sustainable for the environment.
We believe we currently have the technology to start producing energy with Galenfeha’s technology, and the proceeds used for the sales of the company’s securities will finance this development. We will then begin commercialization of our products to energy producers.
Our intended revenue stream will come from the marketing of our products, intellectual property, and contractual engineering to assist energy producers in the implementation of our products and technology, initially in the state of Texas and Louisiana.
We intend to focus on reducing our customers cost and burdens associated with current energy production, carbon footprint, cost, hazardous waste, and other non-sustainable aspects of producing energy with current technology.
A condensed version of our anticipated 2013 Statement of Work is as follows:
1.
Incorporate, Begin operations in the U.S.✔ (3/13)
2.
Open offices in Texas.✔ (3/13)
3.
Explore Equity Investments both Private and Public✔ (4/13)
4.
Open research and Development Facility (6/13)
5.
Develop new Technologies for energy producers. (Estimated 7/13)
6.
Formulate applications for new products (Estimated 3rd quarter, 2013)
7.
Commercialize new and existing products (Estimated 4th quarter, 2013)
We are currently on track to meet these goals, and at the time of this registration statement, we have completed step one, two, and three. We will be posting updates in the news media to inform the public of our progress. Galenfeha is continually researching and developing new products and processes to help energy producers operate a more effective and economical businesses model.
The key to our success will be the Company’s ability to provide new technology to energy producers. We believe that once this technology is developed, that large scale energy producers will want to implement our technology into their business model. During the next 12 months, Galenfeha intends on developing this technology, using protection from intellectual property rights, and commercializing our new technology.
We have not earned any revenues to date. Our independent registered public accountant has issued an audit opinion which includes statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. There is the likelihood that we may never be able to develop these new products that the Company would need to successfully complete its plan of operation and develop and implement the Company’s retail and educational web-site. If our company is not capable of building a market for its proposed products, all funds that we spend on development will be lost.
Market Analysis
The U.S. Energy Information Administration informs us that global energy consumption is in the trillions of dollars. We believe we have a better way to generate energy production which will allow us to tap into this market by providing a cleaner solution than what exist today.
Industry Analysis
Management believes that energy producers and suppliers are aware of the global and environment issues worsening with the continued use of current energy production. This will allow us to offer competitive solutions in the multi-billion dollar arena of energy production.
Strategy and Implementation Summary
The primary strategies of Galenfeha are to develop new technology for energy producers and suppliers that are currently not available in the market.
Competitive Edge
The primary competitive edge of Galenfeha is anticipated to be our energy production technology which, when developed, will not rely on convention methods of energy generation such as Oil, Gas, Coal, Nuclear, or Solar. We hope to offer energy producers a no carbon footprint for energy production.
Online Marketing Strategy
Our online marketing strategy will rely on information provided on the company’s website to provide product information and answer the questions customers have about our products. We will have employees that will be available on the phone and email to answer questions that the site cannot answer.
15
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Patent and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the construction and operation of any facility in any jurisdiction in which we would conduct activities. In general, the operation of our business is not subject to any special regulatory requirements.
Need for Government Approval for its Product or Services
We are not required to apply for or have any government approval for our products or services.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We currently occupy a limited space at 2705 Brown Trail, Suite 100, Bedford Texas. We have first right of refusal to additional space which would increase our total footprint to over 3,000 square feet. The selection of our engineering facility in Bedford Texas facilitates our statement of work because (i) it is close to one of the most accessible airports on the planet, (ii) the housing rent/cost in this area are extremely affordable to attract contract engineers, (iii) the State of Texas is ‘Business friendly, (iv) there is a large pool of talent in the D/FW metroplex we can attract to assist us in our product development. Management believes that our current arrangement is sufficient for its needs at this time.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is presently no public market for our shares of common stock. We anticipate applying for quoting of our common stock on the OTCBB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms apart. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares of common stock will be quoted on the OTCBB or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

To the Board of Directors
Galenfeha
Carson City, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Galenfeha (A Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period March 14, 2013 (inception) through March 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Galenfeha (A Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period March 14, 2013 (inception) through March 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has limited operations and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from March 14, 2013 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2013
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Galenfeha incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 14, 2013, as a for-profit company with a fiscal year end of December 31. Our business office is located at 2705 Brown Trail, Suite 100, Bedford, Texas 76021. We intend on developing new technology to more efficiently produce sustainable energy to satisfy the growing need of the planet, and to reduce carbon footprint that exist with current energy production.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period ended March 31, 2013, the Company had no operations. As of March 31, 2013 the Company had not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The significant accounting policies followed are:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States (See Note 2 regarding the assumption that the Company is a “going concern”).
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
F-6
GALENFEHA, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from March 14, 2013 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2013
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
|
|
| · | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
ASC Topic 820, in and of itself, does not require any fair value measurements. As at November 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have assets or liabilities subject to fair value measurement.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
All cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013 were $27,000.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES AND VALUATION ALLOWANCE
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method o, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets were recognized as of March 31, 2013.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from March 14, 2013 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2013
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC topic, “Earnings Per Share.” The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.
SHARE-BASED EXPENSES
FASB ASC Topic “Compensation – Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
There were no share-based expenses for the period ending March 31, 2013.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company has no current source of revenue. The Company intends to recognize revenue as required by the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There has been no advertising cost incurred for the period March 14, 2013 (date of inception) through March 31, 2013.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. For the period March 14, 2013 (date of inception) through March 31, 2013 the Company incurred losses of $ 1,115. The net operating loss, resulting from operating activities, result in deferred tax assets at the effective statutory rates. The deferred tax asset has been off-set by an equal valuation allowance.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Plan of Operations
During the next 12 months, Galenfeha, Inc. intends on developing new technology for energy production. Although we believe we have sufficient funding for our operations over the next 12 months, we will need to raise addition funding in order for us to accomplish our long term business goals. We will need to immediately expand our current operation into more office/engineering space than what we are currently leasing. After acquiring additional office space, we will then employ additional engineers and scientist to help accomplish the development of new technologies.
A large portion of the cost of doing business over the next 12 months will be administrative cost. The individuals we will require to assist us normally demand a high salary. Our intentions are to hire the initial engineers and scientist on a limited/consulting basis and as the success of our development matures, then full time employment will be considered. Mr. Ketner has good relationships with engineering teams in the D/FW area, and he believes all necessary employees can be found locally.
We intend to market our products and services with the historic relations of our board of directors. We have outlined phases to our operations over the next twelve months. The business activities and related expenses in each phase will be affected by the proceeds from the sales of shares in this offering received by the Company as discussed below.
A condensed version of our anticipated 2013 Statement of Work is as follows (please see notes at the bottom):
8.
Incorporate, Begin operations in the U.S.✔ (3/13)
9.
Open offices in Texas.✔ (3/13)
10.
Explore Equity Investments both Private and Public✔ (4/13)
11.
Open research and Development Facility (6/13)
12.
Develop new Technologies for energy producers. (Estimated 7/13)
13.
Formulate applications for new products (Estimated 3rd quarter, 2013)
14.
Commercialize new and existing products (Estimated 4th quarter, 2013)
We completed our incorporation in the state of Nevada with proceeds loaned to the Company by Mr. Ketner in the amount of $615. Mr. Ketner also donated office equipment to the company in the amount of $2,500 that was traded for equity in the company.
On March 20, 2013, the Board of Directors resolved and approved the opening of a bank account with BBVA Compass, in which Mr. Ketner contributed $7,500 in the exchange for equity in the company. On March 21, 2013, the Board of Directors resolved and approved assigning a lease at 2705 Brown Trail, Suite 100, Bedford Texas 76021. We have first right of refusal on the adjacent space in order to expand our operations to the development of our new technology upon the success of our ability to raise capital upon the effectiveness of this registration statement.
Results of Operations for the Period from Inception throughMarch 31, 2013
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on March 14, 2013 to March 31, 2013. We do not anticipate earning revenues unless fully implement the business plan to distribute our products. We have not begun the development of our business and can provide no assurance that we will be successful in developing our distribution operations in the future.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $1,115 for the period from our inception on March 14, 2013 to March 31, 2013.These operating expenses were comprised of start-up costs.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to our proposed business of on-line ergonomic product retailer. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
17
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
As of March 31, 2013 we had $27,000 in cash. Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash to be used to implement our business plan at this time is investments by our Directors and Officers, and others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our strategy and stay in business. The amount of this offering will likely allow us to operate for at least 12 months.
To become profitable and competitive, we must raise substantial funds in order to execute our business plans. We must develop new technology, and commercialize this technology to energy providers. There may be a need for additional equity financing, and this financing will have a dilutive effect on current shareholders. If the company cannot raise addition capital through equity financing, the company may need to seek funds from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the Company.
However, if such financing were available, because we are a development stage Company with no operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing, it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We have had no changes in or disagreements with our independent registered public accountant.

Director Independence
Our Board of Directors is currently composed of five members, Mr. James Ketner, Mr. Lucien Marioneaux, Mr. Trey Moore, Mr. Richard Owston, and Ms. LaNell Armour, who do not qualify as independent directors in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objectives test, such as that the director is not and has not been for a least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board of Directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director hat no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations our Board of Directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
Significant Employees
We have no employees other than our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. James Ketner. Mr. Ketner devotes approximately forty hours per week to company matters.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table provides the names and addresses of each person known to Galenfeha to own more than 5% of the outstanding common stock as of May 16, 2013 and by the officers and directors, individually and as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are owned directly. The stockholder listed below has direct ownership of his shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares.

(1)
The persons named above may be deemed to be a “parent” and “promoter” of our Company, within the meaning of such terms under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of his direct and indirect stock holdings.
Our officers and directors will continue to own the majority of our common stock after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold. Since they will continue control the Company after the offering, investors will be unable to change the course of the operations. Thus, the shares we are offering lack the value normally attributable to voting rights. This could result in a reduction in value of the shares you own because of their ineffective voting power. None of our common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants, or securities convertible into common stock.
The Company would consider bringing on addition directors that would be deemed independent under Item 407(a) of regulation S-K once the company has more than one shareholder and is a reporting issuer under the 1934 Securities & Exchange Act as amended. As the Company currently has only one shareholder who is the company’s director no value would be gained on increasing the board.
Change in Control
We are not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change in control in the future.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On March 31, 2013, we issued 30,000,000 shares of common stock to our Board of Directors, for total cash consideration of $30,000. On April 10, 2013, we issued an additional 15,000,000 shares of common stock to 2 additional directors for a total cash consideration of $15,000. This was accounted for as a purchase of common stock, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Under Rule 144, a shareholder can sell up to 1% of total outstanding shares every three months in brokers’ transactions. Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Statutes and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Nevada State business code permits, but does not require, corporations to indemnify a director, officer or control person of the corporation for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, whether or not the corporation has provided for indemnification in its Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation have no separate provision for indemnification of directors, officers, or control persons.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

| 24 |
|
|
5. | 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 registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the 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 registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
