WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, WHICH MAY FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETING SERVICES BY OTHERS.
At this time we have no intellectual property. We will rely on a combination of trade secret and copyright laws, restrictions on disclosure, to protect any intellectual property rights which may develop during the time of and upon completion of our initial source code. Despite our efforts to protect our source code and any other proprietary rights which may develop, third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our Apps or technology. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States. If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, it will be easier for our competitors to sell competing Apps.
OUR SERVICES MAY INFRINGE ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, WHICH MAY RESULT IN LAWSUITS AND PROHIBIT US FROM SELLING OUR SERVICES OR SUBJECT US TO LITIGATION COSTS AND MONETARY DAMAGES.
There is a risk that third parties have filed or will file applications for, or have received or will receive, patents or obtain additional intellectual property rights relating to materials or processes that we use or propose to use. As a result, from time to time, third parties may assert patent or other intellectual property rights to technologies that are used in our services or are otherwise important to us. In addition, third parties may assert claims or initiate litigation against us or our manufacturers, suppliers, customers or partners with respect to existing or future services or other proprietary rights. We generally undertake to indemnify our customers and partners against intellectual property infringement claims asserted against them with respect to the services we sell to, or distribute through, them. Any claims against us or customers or partners that we indemnify against intellectual property claims, with or without merit, may be time-consuming, result in costly litigation or monetary damages and diversion of technical and management personnel, or require us to develop non-infringing technology. If a claim is successful, we may be required to obtain a license from the parties claiming the infringement. If we are unable to obtain a license, we may be unable to market our affected services. Limitations on our ability to market our services and delays and costs associated with monetary damages and redesigns in compliance with an adverse judgment or settlement would harm our business.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND ANY ASSOCIATED IMPACT ON CONSUMER SPENDING COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
We are subject to macroeconomic fluctuations in the United States and worldwide economy, including those that impact discretionary consumer spending. Continued economic uncertainty and reductions in discretionary consumer spending may result in reductions in sales of our mobile personalization services, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and our financial condition. If these issues persist, or if the economy continues this prolonged period of decelerating growth or recession, our results of operations may be harmed.
OUR PRESENT LIMITED OPERATIONS HAVE NOT YET PROVEN PROFITABLE.
To date we have not shown a profit in our operations. We do not presently have a market-ready product, and we currently do not have any customers. We cannot assure that we will achieve or attain profitability in 2014 or at any other time. If we cannot achieve operating profitability, we may not be able to meet our working capital requirements, which will have a material adverse effect on our business operating results and financial condition
MR. EGNA HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING A PUBLIC COMPANY. THE LACK OF EXPERIENCE IN OPERATING A PUBLIC COMPANY COULD IMPACT OUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT, IF ANY.
As a result of our reliance on Mr. Egna, and his lack of experience in operating a public company, our investors are at risk in losing their entire investment. Mr. Egna intends to hire personnel in the future, when sufficiently capitalized, who would have the experience required to manage the Company, such management is not anticipated until the occurrence of future financing. Since this offering will not sufficiently capitalize the Company, future offerings will be necessary to satisfy capital needs. Until such a future offering occurs, and until such management is in place, we are reliant upon Mr. Egna to make the appropriate management decisions.
OUR BUSINESS MAY NOT FIND ACCEPTANCE WITH THE MOBILE APPLICATIONS AND ONLINE COMMUNITY.
We are a new company with no established visibility or recognition in the mobile applications community. If we are not able to have our Apps accepted by the marketplace, we may not be able to generate revenues and our business plan may fail.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY PROVE UNPREDICTABLE WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR PROFIT.
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: our inability to generate enough working capital from future equity sales; the level of commercial acceptance by the intended customers of our products; fluctuations in the demand for our products; timing of operating costs; and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business.
If realized, any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR MAY NOT BE IN A POSITION TO DEVOTE A MAJORITY OF HIS TIME TO OUR OPERATIONS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERIODIC INTERRUPTIONS AND EVEN BUSINESS FAILURE.
Mr. Egna, our sole officer and director, has other outside business activities and is devoting approximately 10-25 hours per week to our operations. Our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are not convenient to Mr. Egna, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of our business plan. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of the business.
KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MAY LEAVE THE COMPANY WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.
Because we are entirely dependent on the efforts of its sole officer and director, his departure or the loss of other key personnel in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the business. We believe that all commercially reasonable efforts have been made to minimize the risks attendant with the departure by key personnel from service.
However, there is no guarantee that replacement personnel, if any, will help the Company to operate profitably. We do not maintain key person life insurance on our sole officer and director.
IF OUR COMPANY IS DISSOLVED, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT ASSETS REMAINING TO DISTRIBUTE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS.
In the event of the dissolution of our company, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of our assets, if any, will be used primarily to pay the claims of our creditors, if any, before there can be any distribution to the shareholders. In that case, the ability of purchasers of the offered shares to recover all or any portion of the purchase price for the offered shares will depend on the amount of funds realized and the claims to be satisfied there from.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO GAIN ANY SIGNIFICANT MARKET ACCEPTANCE FOR OUR PRODUCT OR ESTABLISH A SIGNIFICANT MARKET PRESENCE, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO CONTINUE OUR BUSINESS.
Our growth strategy is substantially dependent upon our ability to successfully market our service to prospective customers. However, our planned service may not achieve significant acceptance. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant period of time. Failure of our service to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and the results of our operations.
MANAGEMENT’S ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT THE BUSINESS STRATEGY MAY BE SLOWER THAN EXPECTED AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GENERATE A PROFIT.
Our plans include the design, development, marketing, and sale of Apps for the Apple iOS and Google Android platform. Our growth strategy is subject to significant risks which you should carefully consider before purchasing the shares we are offering.
Although we plan on offering our Apps for sale we may be slow to achieve profitability, or may not become profitable at all, which will result in losses. There can be no assurance that we will succeed.
We may be unable to enter into its intended markets successfully. The factors that could affect our growth strategy include our success in (a) developing the Company’s business plan; (b) obtaining buyers for our Apps; (c) obtaining adequate financing on acceptable terms; and (d) adapting our internal controls and operating procedures to accommodate our future growth.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR FUTURE GROWTH, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED AND WE MAY NOT BECOME PROFITABLE.
Significant growth may place a significant strain on management, financial, operating and technical resources. Failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or the results of its operations.
As of June 30, 2013, we have incurred a total of approximately $2,100 in start-up costs. We have not generated any revenue from business operations. All proceeds currently held by us are the result of the sale of common stock to our sole officer.
OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM CONSISTS OF ONE PERSON AND MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.
We have not assembled our management team as a result of our relatively limited activities to date. In addition, we have only one management member which may be insufficient to run our operation. As a result, we may be unable to effectively develop and manage our business and we may fail.
COMPETITORS MAY ENTER THIS SECTOR WITH SUPERIOR SERVICE, INFRINGING OUR CUSTOMER BASE, AND AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS ADVERSELY.
We have identified a market opportunity for our business. Competitors may enter this sector with superior service. This would infringe on our customer base, having an adverse affect upon our business and the results of our operations.
SINCE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CURRENTLY OWNS 100% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS MAY FIND THAT HIS DECISIONS ARE CONTRARY TO THEIR INTERESTS. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE SHARES UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO ENTRUST ALL ASPECTS OF MANAGEMENT TO OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, OR HIS SUCCESSORS.
The Company’s sole officer and director, Mr. Egna, owns 9,000,000 shares of common stock representing 100% of the Company’s outstanding stock. Mr. Egna will own 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock after this offering is completed representing approximately 75% of the Company’s outstanding shares, assuming all securities are sold. As a result, Mr. Egna will have control of the Company even if the full offering is subscribed for and will be able to choose all of the Company’s directors. Mr. Egna’s interests may differ from the ones of other stockholders. Factors that could cause Mr. Egna’s interests to differ from the other stockholders include the impact of corporate transactions on the timing of business operations and Mr. Egna’s ability to continue to manage the business given the amount of time he is able to devote to the Company.
All decisions regarding the management of the Company’s affairs will be made exclusively by Mr. Egna. Purchasers of the offered shares may not participate in the Company’s management and, therefore, are dependent upon Mr. Egna’s management abilities. The only assurance that the Company’s shareholders, including purchasers of the offered shares, have that the Company’s sole officer and director will not abuse his discretion in executing the Company’s business affairs is his fiduciary obligation and business integrity. Such discretionary powers include, but are not limited to, decisions regarding all aspects of business operations, corporate transactions, and financing. Mr. Egna also has the ability to accomplish or ratify actions at the shareholder level which would otherwise implicate his fiduciary duties if done as one of the members of the Company’s board of directors (“Board”).
Accordingly, no person should purchase the offered shares unless willing to entrust all aspects of management to the sole officer and director, or his successors. Potential purchasers of the offered shares must carefully evaluate the personal experience and business performance of the Company’s management.
Risks Related To Our Financial Condition
WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN. IN THE EVENT WE ARE UNABLE TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN RESULTING IN A LOSS OF REVENUES AND ULTIMATELY THE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
Due to our start-up nature, we will have to incur legal, accounting, product development, marketing administrative and and all other associated fees. To fully implement our business plan we will require additional funding. This offering, if successful, will enable us to commence making investment purchases, and will not assist us in further developing our initial business operations. Additionally, since the net offering proceeds have been earmarked for website development, accounting, legal, and minimal working capital, we will not be capitalized sufficiently to hire or pay employees.
- 10 -
Following this offering we will need to raise additional funds to expand our operations. We plan to raise additional funds through private placements, registered offerings, or other sources to maintain and expand our operations. Adequate funds for this purpose on terms favorable to us may not be available, and if available, on terms significantly more adverse to us than are manageable. Without new funding, we may be only partially successful or completely unsuccessful in implementing our business plan, and our stockholders will lose part or all of their investment.
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN
In their audit report dated July 12, 2013, our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Because our officer may be unwilling or unable to loan or advance any additional capital to us, we believe that if we do not raise additional capital, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our business plan. Due to the fact that there is no minimum investment and no refunds on sold shares, you may be investing in a company that will not have the funds necessary to develop its business strategies. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your entire investment. See the Auditors Report accompanying our Audited Financial Statements. Because we have been issued an opinion by our auditor that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as a going concern it may be more difficult to attract investors.
THE ENACTMENT OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO RETAIN OR ATTRACT OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, WHICH COULD INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS OR PREVENT US FROM BECOMING PROFITABLE.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) was enacted in response to public concern regarding corporate accountability in the wake of a number of accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, provide enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosure pursuant to applicable securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the imposition of a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase the responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officer, the perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting such roles. Consequently, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as our directors or executive officer, and we may need to incur additional operating costs. This could prevent us from becoming profitable.
SINCE WE ANTICIPATE OPERATING EXPENSES WILL INCREASE PRIOR TO EARNING REVENUE, WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY
We anticipate an increase in our operating expenses, without realizing any revenues from the sale of our products. Within the next 18 months, we will have costs related to (i) creating a mobile applications software business; (ii) initiation of our marketing campaign; (iii) administrative expenses; and (iv) the expenses of this offering.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our service will attract customers; generate any operating revenue or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unable to address these risks, there is a high probability that our business can fail, which will result in the loss of your entire investment.
IF OUR REGISTRATION STATEMENT IS DECLARED EFFECTIVE, WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE SEC’S REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO MAINTAIN THIS REPORTING STATUS WITH THE SEC.
If our registration statement is declared effective, we will have a reporting obligation to the SEC. As of the date of this prospectus, the funds currently available to us will not be sufficient to meet our reporting obligations. If we fail to meet our reporting obligations, we will lose our reporting status with the SEC. Our management believes that if we cannot maintain our reporting status with the SEC we will have to cease all efforts directed towards developing our company. In that event, any investment in the company could be lost in its entirety.

Risks Related To This Offering
BECAUSE THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR STOCK
We intend to apply for quotation of our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. This process takes at least 60 days and the application must be made on our behalf by a market maker. Our stock may be listed or traded only to the extent that there is interest by broker-dealers in acting as a market maker. Despite our best efforts, it may not be able to convince any broker/dealers to act as market-makers and make quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board. We may consider pursuing a listing on the OTCBB after this registration becomes effective and we have completed our offering.
If our common stock becomes listed and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of our shares will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of the sale.
We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock. The trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations for them, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. You may not be able to sell your shares at their purchase price or at any price at all. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any shares you purchase from the selling security holders.
INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND COULD RESULT IN THE ENTIRE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT
Purchasing the offered shares is highly speculative and involves significant risk. The offered shares should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Our business objectives are also speculative, and it is possible that we would be unable to accomplish them. Our shareholders may be unable to realize a substantial or any return on their purchase of the offered shares 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.
INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY MAY RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS BECAUSE BUYERS WILL PAY MORE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK THAN THE PRO RATA PORTION OF THE ASSETS ARE WORTH
We have only been recently formed and have only a limited operating history with no earnings; therefore, the price of the offered shares is not based on any data. The offering price and other terms and conditions regarding our shares have been arbitrarily determined and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. 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. Our net tangible book value per share of common stock is $0.001 as of June 30, 2013, our most recent financial statement date.
The arbitrary offering price of $0.01 per share as determined herein is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Our assets do not substantiate a share price of $0.01. This premium in share price applies to the terms of this offering. The offering price will not change for the duration of the offering even if we obtain a listing on any exchange or become quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
BECAUSE WE HAVE 250,000,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES, MANAGEMENT COULD ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES, DILUTING THE CURRENT SHARE HOLDERS’ EQUITY
We have 250,000,000 authorized shares, of which only 9,000,000 are currently issued and outstanding and only 12,000,000 will be issued and outstanding after this offering terminates. Our management could, without the consent of the existing shareholders, issue substantially more shares, causing a large dilution in the equity position of our current shareholders. Additionally, large share issuances would generally have a negative impact on our share price. It is possible that, due to additional share issuance, you could lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment.
AS WE DO NOT HAVE AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT WITH SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR INVESTORS, IF WE FILE FOR OR ARE FORCED INTO BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION, INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
Invested funds for this offering will not be placed in an escrow or trust account and if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. As such, you will lose your investment and your funds will be used to pay creditors
- 12 -
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, SO THERE WILL BE LESS WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN MAKE A GAIN ON ANY INVESTMENT IN US.
We have never paid dividends and do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we may require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the declaration of dividends. Because we do not intend to pay dividends, any gain on your investment will need to result from an appreciation in the price of our common stock. There will therefore be fewer ways in which you are able to make a gain on your investment.
IN THE EVENT THAT OUR SHARES ARE TRADED, THEY MAY TRADE UNDER $5.00 PER SHARE AND THUS WILL BE A PENNY STOCK. TRADING IN PENNY STOCKS HAS MANY RESTRICTIONS AND THESE RESTRICTIONS COULD SEVERELY AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDITY OF OUR SHARES.
In the event that our shares are traded, and our stock trades below $5.00 per share, our stock would be known as a “penny stock”, which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock”. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is often volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want to.
FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY (“FINRA”) SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR SHARES.
FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA 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 shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.
YOU MAY FACE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON THE RESALE OF YOUR SHARES DUE TO STATE “BLUE SKY” LAWS.
Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (1) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (2) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker-dealer must also be registered in that state.
We do not know whether our securities will be registered or exempt from registration under the laws of any state. A determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as market makers for our common stock. We have not yet applied to have our securities registered in any state and will not do so until we receive expressions of interest from investors resident in specific states after they have viewed this Prospectus. We will initially focus our offering in the state of Florida and will rely on exemptions found in section 517.061 of the Florida Securities and Investor Protection Act. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our securities. You should therefore consider the resale market for our common stock to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your shares without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO INFORMATION BECAUSE WE ARE NOT YET A REPORTING ISSUER AND MAY NOT BECOME ONE.
We do not intend to file a Form 8-A promptly after this registration statement becomes effective. We are not currently a reporting issuer and upon this registration statement becoming effective we will be required to comply only with the limited reporting obligations pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. These reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if on the first day of any fiscal year other than the fiscal year in which our registration statement became effective, there are fewer than 300 shareholders. If we do not become a reporting issuer and instead make a decision to suspend our public reporting, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with SEC and your access to our business information will be restricted. In addition, if we do not become a reporting issuer, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders, and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a filer under Exchange Act 15(d), we are not subject to the third-party tender offer rules and the short-swing trading provisions of Section 16.
USE OF PROCEEDS

The public offering price of the shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria and may not be indicative of prices that may prevail at any time or from time to time in the public market for the common stock. You cannot be sure that a public market for any of our securities will develop and continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price at or higher then the offering price in this offering.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
As there is no established public market for our shares, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, 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.
DILUTION
The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.01 per share. This price is significantly greater than the price paid by our sole officer and director. Our sole officer and director paid $0.001 per share, a difference of $0.009 per share lower than the share price in this offering.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

THE OFFERING
We are registering 3,000,000 shares of our common stock for offer and sale at $0.01 per share.
There is currently no active trading market for our common stock, and such a market may not develop or be sustained.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the total number of shares owned beneficially by our sole officer and director, and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares. The stockholder listed below has direct ownership of his shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares.

| | 22037 Seashore Circle Estero, Florida 33928 | | | | |
(1) Based on 9,000,000 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2013.
(2) The person 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, Matthew Egna is the only “parent” and “promoter” of the company.
For the period ended June 30, 2013, a total of 9,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our sole officer and director, 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. However, if the Company is deemed to be a shell company, securities issued by the Company cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144.
Our sole officer and director will continue to own the majority of our common stock after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold. Since he will continue control our company after the offering, investors in this offering will be unable to change the course of our 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 is hereby registering 3,000,000 of its common shares, in addition to the 9,000,000 shares currently issued and outstanding. The price per share is $0.01 (please see “Plan of Distribution” above).
The 9,000,000 shares currently issued and outstanding were acquired by our sole officer and director for the period ended, June 30, 2013. We issued a total of 9,000,000 common shares for consideration of $9,000, which was accounted for as a purchase of common stock. The Company received $9,000 cash.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY
We believe there is a unique opportunity in this market because of the significant past growth and future projected growth in the industry. In 2008, there were 500 individual Apps being sold in the Apple App Store; some 900,000 apps are now available. (Graham, Jefferson. "Apple App Store Marks 5 Years of App-ortunity." USA Today 9 July 2013.) Developers have been paid more than $5 billion in the last 12 months from Apple through the App Store; the android has generated approximately $900 million for developers over that same time period. (Louis, Tristan. "How Much Do Average Apps Make?" Forbes 10 Aug. 2013.)
Over 50 billion mobile apps have been downloaded since Apple's App Store opened for business on July 10, 2008. (Louis, Tristan. "How Much Do Average Apps Make?" Forbes 10 Aug. 2013.)
As smartphones, tablets and other mobile connected devices become increasingly powerful and affordable, and mobile internet access becomes more widespread and faster, users are consuming more content on their mobile devices. Apps in particular are becoming a popular way for consumers to engage with and consume personalized digital content on their mobile connected devices. Gartner Inc., an industry research firm, forecasts that the total number of downloads from mobile application stores worldwide will increase from 8.2 billion in 2010 to 185 billion in 2014. (Gartner, Inc. Gartner Says Worldwide Mobile Application Store Revenue Forecast to Surpass $15 Billion in 2011. 26 Jan. 2011. Print.) As the number of apps has proliferated, however, it has become increasingly difficult for developers to differentiate their apps from those of competitors in overcrowded App stores. As a result, large and small developers are competing for advertising budgets and visibility among users in order to realize their business objectives.
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our products will consist of Apps for the Apple iPHONE, iPAD, and iPOD touch, as well as Google Android devices. The Company intends to create Apps primarily focused on improving personal and business productivity and health and fitness monitoring. To achieve agility in its App design and development process and to develop Apps at lower development cost the Company intends to beta test Apps without initially dedicating substantial time to software coding and development. We will approach App development in the following way to assist in the assurance of the Company’s success:
| |
§ | develop mockups of our Apps using existing prototyping technology tools to get into the hands of users to get useful feedback; |
| |
§ | create non-native prototypes using a platform such as HTML5, which can be built faster and cheaper than in a native platform (such as Apple iOS) in an effort to allow our beta users to actually interact with our Apps thereby eliciting immediate feedback; |
| |
§ | focus on only a few features for our native Apps, prioritizing features, and only building those that are required to offer some initial value that is good enough for users to keep using each App; |
| |
§ | develop Apps for the Apple iOS first, learn from our first version, improve, and once the product is good enough, build the same App for other platforms; and |
| |
§ | launch Apps through third-party retailers such as the Apple “App Store” and the Google “Google Play Store” and the Company’s website. |
MARKETING
We believe in order to begin to generate revenues within 12 to 18 months of completion of this offering, we must:
1. Develop our Website–The Company is in the process of developing its website. Our website will serve as the Company’s primary location for providing information about the Company and our Apps. The website will provide information about the Apps the Company has developed, including features and functionality. The website will also provide links to online stores where our Apps can be purchased including the Apple “App Store” and Google’s Apps store, “Google Play”.
- 19 -
2. Develop and implement a marketing plan –The Company will generate revenue from the sale of Apps. A key factor in the Company’s success will be the building of third party relationships within the mobile technology industry and awareness among smart phone users. We intend to develop a multi channel marketing plan to build awareness among third party retailers and among the smart phone community. The Company intends these efforts to include: (i) using viral channels within social media networking platforms to build awareness of our products; (ii) using web channels to communicate with potential and existing buyers about new products’ design, graphics, features, benefits, as well as product promotions; (iii) advertising through third-party apps and banners through networks offering mobile advertising delineated by age, gender, and geography; (iv) promotion through editorials, press releases, App reviews, blog posts, and email blasts; (v) video marketing through video channels to promote and demonstrate our products; and (vi) search engine optimization. These efforts and the resulting awareness will be key drivers behind the success of our revenue producing operations.
Employees and Employment Agreements
As of June 30, 2013, we have no employees other than Mr. Egna, our sole officer and director. Mr. Egna has the flexibility to work on our business up to 10 to 25 hours per week. He is prepared to devote more time to our operations as may be required and we do not have any employment agreements with him.
We do not presently have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing, or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our sole director and officer.
During the initial implementation of our business plan, we intend to hire independent consultants to assist in the development and execution of our business operation.
Government Regulations
We are unaware of and do not anticipate having to expend significant resources to comply with any local/state and governmental regulations of the market. We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to offer our services’ which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the development and operation of our business is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.
Intellectual Property and Patents
We intend, in due course, subject to legal advice, to determine if we are able to receive design protections for our products, in which case we will apply for patent, trademark protection and/or copyright protection in the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions.
Environmental Laws
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.
Plan of Operation
Changing Technologies, Inc., was established June 18, 2013. Currently we have temporary offices at 22037 Seashore Circle, Estero, Florida 33928. Our sole officer, director and founding stockholder created the business as a result of knowledge of computer programming and mobile technologies.
The Company was formed to design, develop and distribute applications for mobile devices (“Apps”) on the Apple iOS and Google Android platform. Mobile devices include smart phones and tablets. Through the marketing and sales of our Apps through third party online retailers, the Company intends to build revenues based upon profits realized through its sale of Apps.
We are in the early stages of setting up an operational company capable of realizing revenues; as of June 30, 2013, we had cash on hand of $8,900. We have prepared this offering to provide the basic minimum amount of funds of $30,000 to provide sufficient cash for the next 18 months which will be used to cover our operational costs including: the costs associated with the offering, website design, graphic design, product development, marketing, working capital, and various filing fees and transfer agent fees.
- 20 -
If we are unsuccessful in generating the cash set forth in this offering, our management may decide to modify our business plan on a reduced scale and quality. Our business plan and allocation of proceeds will vary to accommodate the amount of proceeds raised by the sale of securities hereunder and through other financing efforts; and raising less than $30,000 will decrease funds for available operations. The Use of Proceeds table indicates how funds will be allocated to each category of expenses under our business plan in proportion to the percentage of shares sold (whether 35%, 50%, 75% or 100%). The first money raised, of course, will be set aside and used for meeting our reporting requirements to the Securities Exchange Commission and the State of Florida.
The Company will not engage any service providers unless and until sufficient funds were raised and then the terms of the engagement would be dependent upon amount of capital available.
Initially, Mr. Egna will provide his office computer and office equipment at no cost; we do not anticipate the purchase of any significant equipment at this time or in the next 18 months. The number of employees required to operate our business is currently one part time individual.
As a result of our being a development stage company with minimal amounts of equity capital initially available, $9,000, we have set our goals in three phases during the 18 month period starting upon the effective date of this registration statement; during which time the Company must raise capital and start its sales activities. The first phase (“Phase One”) of our operation over this period is based upon the availability of our initial funding of $9,000. The second phase (“Phase Two”), is based upon our funding of $30,000. The third phase (“Phase Three”) is based upon funding of additional equity in the approximate sum of $150,000 to $300,000.
Phase One, includes development of our business operations upon our founders’ investment of $9,000. Phase One activities include: (i) setting up our corporate structure (incorporation); (ii) set up corporate governance; (iii) retain counsel and an auditor to assist in preparation of documents providing for the raising of $30,000 to complete Phase Two of our Plan of Operation; (iv) filing of the Company’s registration statement (v) commence design of the Company’s logo; and (vi) registration of the Company’s internet domain name. We expect to complete this phase between June 2013 and September 2013.
Phase Two, includes development of our business operations upon our receipt of the funds from this offering of $30,000. In Phase Two the Company intends to: (i) develop its website; (ii) complete development of the Company’s business and marketing plan; (iii) interview consultants to assist in developing our operations and marketing plans; (iv) begin development of a prototype App; (v) develop relationships with multiple third party online retailers which will allow us to market and sell our applications; and (vi) commence sales of the Company’s first App. We expect to complete this phase, including time to make the proper adjustments necessary, within 12 to 18 months of the effective date of this registration.
We have not commenced the majority of milestones set forth in Phase Two of our Plan of Operation as a result of our not having the funds from our offering. In the event we do not receive the funds from the offering, then the Company will be able to continue its operations, however no significant business will be accomplished until other equity is raised, or in the unlikely event that our business plan as currently developed, generates sufficient revenues to allow for major investment purchases.
Phase Three, includes development of our business operations upon our receipt of additional equity in the approximate sum of $150,000 to $300,000. If, and when we raise $150,000 in Phase Three, we intend to pay our President a salary of $10,000 per year. There will be no accruals for past salary, and the commencement date of such salary would not occur until such time as the additional funds (in addition to our present offering) are acquired. The balance of the equity would be utilized for development of more Apps, hiring additional programmers, designers, and marketing consultants, legal (including investigating potential patent and trademark opportunities), accounting, website maintenance, and general office expenses. In the event an additional $150,000 were raised (in addition to the $30,000 in this offering, and $150,000 referenced above), we would allocate the $150,000 primarily to the hiring of additional programming staff, equipment purchases and office space. We anticipate that it will take us approximately eight to twelve months after the funding referenced in this Phase Three to expand our programming capability through the securing of office space and hiring of additional staff.
Until an infusion of capital from this offering, we will not be able to complete Phase Two of our Plan of Operation. We currently have insufficient capital to commence any significant business advances such as development or marketing our Apps. Our Plan of Operation is premised upon having funds available. We believe that the funds allocated in the offering will assist us in generating revenues. We have suffered startup losses which raises substantial concern regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that the proceeds of this offering will enable us to maintain our operations and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 to 18 months, without taking into account any internally generated funds from operations.
- 21 -
After this offering, we will require additional funds to maintain and expand our operations as referenced in our Phase Three. These funds may be raised through equity financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of the shares being offered in this prospectus. At this time we have no earmarked source for these funds. Additionally, there is no guarantee that we will be able to locate additional funds. In the event we are unable to locate additional funds, we will be unable to generate revenues sufficient to operate our business as planned. For example, if we receive less than $150,000 of the funds earmarked in Phase Three, we would may unable to significantly expand our App product line utilizing multiple programmers to the levels under Phase Three. Alternatively we may be required to reduce the salary to our President and cover legal and accounting fees required to continue our operations.
There is still no assurance that, even with the funds from this offering, we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.
Reports to Security Holders
We intend to furnish annual reports to stockholders, which will include audited financial statements reported on by our Certified Public Accountants. In addition, we will issue unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to stockholders, as we deem appropriate or required by applicable securities regulations.
Any member of the public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20509. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-732-0330. The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an internet website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
As our office space needs are limited at the current time, we are currently operating out of our sole director and officer���s office located at, 22037 Seashore Circle, Estero, Florida 33928. Our office space has been donated free of charge by our sole director and officer.
JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT
In April, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) was enacted into law. The JOBS Act provides, among other things:
| | |
| · | Exemptions for emerging growth companies from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years and provides a new form of financing to small companies; |
| | |
| · | Amendments to certain provisions of the federal securities laws to simplify the sale of securities and increase the threshold number of record holders required to trigger the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; |
| | |
| · | Relaxation of the general solicitation and general advertising prohibition for Rule 506 offerings; |
| | |
| · | Adoption of a new exemption for public offerings of securities in amounts not exceeding $50 million; and |
| | |
| · | Exemption from registration by a non-reporting company of offers and sales of securities of up to $1,000,000 that comply with rules to be adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 4(6) of the Securities Act and exemption of such sales from state law registration, documentation or offering requirements. |
In general, under the JOBS Act a company is an emerging growth company if its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common equity securities was affected after December 8, 2011 and the company had less than $1 billion of total annual gross revenues during its last completed fiscal year. A company will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company after the earliest of
| | |
| (i) | the completion of the fiscal year in which the company has total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more, |
| | |
| (ii) | the completion of the fiscal year of the fifth anniversary of the company’s IPO; |
| | |
| (iii) | the company’s issuance of more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt in the prior three-year period, or |
- 22 -
| | |
| (iv) | the company becoming a “larger accelerated filer” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
The JOBS Act provides additional new guidelines and exemptions for non-reporting companies and for non-public offerings. Those exemptions that impact the Company are discussed below.
Financial Disclosure. The financial disclosure in a registration statement filed by an emerging growth company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 will differ from registration statements filed by other companies as follows:
| | |
| (i) | audited financial statements required for only two fiscal years; |
| | |
| (ii) | selected financial data required for only the fiscal years that were audited; |
| | |
| (iii) | executive compensation only needs to be presented in the limited format now required for smaller reporting companies. (A smaller reporting company is one with a public float of less than $75 million as of the last day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter) |
However, the requirements for financial disclosure provided by Regulation S-K promulgated by the Rules and Regulations of the SEC already provide certain of these exemptions for smaller reporting companies. The Company is a smaller reporting company. Currently a smaller reporting company is not required to file as part of its registration statement selected financial data and only needs audited financial statements for its two most current fiscal years and no tabular disclosure of contractual obligations.
The JOBS Act also exempts the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from complying with any rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) after the date of the JOBS Act’s enactment, except as otherwise required by SEC rule.
The JOBS Act also exempts an emerging growth company from any requirement adopted by the PCAOB for mandatory rotation of the Company’s accounting firm or for a supplemental auditor report about the audit.
Internal Control Attestation. The JOBS Act also provides an exemption from the requirement of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to file a report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, although management of the Company is still required to file its report on the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Section 102(a) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from the requirements in §14A(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for companies with a class of securities registered under the 1934 Act to hold shareholder votes for executive compensation and golden parachutes.
Other Items of the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can communicate with potential investors that are qualified institutional buyers or institutions that are accredited to determine interest in a contemplated offering either prior to or after the date of filing the respective registration statement. The Act also permits research reports by a broker or dealer about an emerging growth company regardless if such report provides sufficient information for an investment decision. In addition the JOBS Act precludes the SEC and FINRA from adopting certain restrictive rules or regulations regarding brokers, dealers and potential investors, communications with management and distribution of a research reports on the emerging growth company IPO.
Section 106 of the JOBS Act permits emerging growth companies to submit 1933 Act registration statements on a confidential basis provided that the registration statement and all amendments are publicly filed at least 21 days before the issuer conducts any road show. This is intended to allow the emerging growth company to explore the IPO option without disclosing to the market the fact that it is seeking to go public or disclosing the information contained in its registration statement until the company is ready to conduct a roadshow.
Election to Opt Out of Transition Period. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a 1933 Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the 1934 Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standard.
The JOBS Act provides a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of the transition period.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board once this Prospectus has been declared effective by the SEC; however, there is no guarantee that we will obtain a listing.
There is currently no trading market for our common stock and there is no assurance that a regular trading market will ever develop. OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
To have our common stock listed on any of the public trading markets, including the OTC Bulletin Board, we will require a market maker to sponsor our securities. We have not yet engaged any market maker to sponsor our securities, and there is no guarantee that our securities will meet the requirements for quotation or that our securities will be accepted for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board. This could prevent us from developing a trading market for our common stock.
Holders
As of the date of this Prospectus there was one holder of record of our common stock.
Dividends
To date, we have not paid dividends on shares of our common stock and we do not expect to declare or pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of any dividends will depend upon our future earnings, if any, our financial condition, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board.
Equity Compensation Plans
As of the date of this Prospectus we did not have any equity compensation plans.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of the prospectus 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 that, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (USD or US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. All references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
Overview
We are a development-stage company. We were incorporated in the state of Florida on June 18, 2013.
- 24 -
We were formed to design, develop and distribute applications for mobile devices (“Apps”) on the Apple iOS and Google Android platform. We have not generated any revenues, but we anticipate that we will begin generating revenues upon 18 months of completion of this offering, of which we can provide no assurance. The capital raised in this offering has been budgeted to cover the costs associated with the offering, including: accounting services, legal fees, various filing fees and transfer agent fees costs associated with our continuous disclosure obligations, incidental expenses, and the cost of implementing the investigative aspects of our business plan, including identifying and securing (i) additional sources of financing, (ii) consultants, (iii) a marketing plan, and (iv) offices. The proceeds from this offering has been budgeted to cover the costs associated with the offering including: website design, graphic design, equipment purchases, working capital, various filing fees and transfer agent fees; will satisfy our cash requirements for up to 18 months.
We have been issued an opinion by our auditors that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based on our current financial position.
We are unable to identify in any detail the steps we will take to obtain the financing required to execute our business plan.
Results of Operations
From inception (June 18, 2013) through June 30, 2013, our business operations have primarily been focused on developing our business plan. We have spent a total of approximately $100 on start-up costs. We have not generated any revenue from business operations. All cash held by us is the result of the sale of common stock to our sole director and officer.
Although we intend to begin generating revenues upon 12 to 18 months of completion of this offering, there is a possibility we may continue to incur operating losses. We believe that our lack of significant expenses and our ability to design and write the programming for mobile Apps, may generate revenues sufficient to support the limited costs associated with our initial ongoing operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that the actual expenses incurred will not materially exceed our estimates or that cash flows from sales from mobile apps will be adequate to maintain our business. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in the registration statement.
If we are unable to raise additional monies, we only have enough capital to cover the costs of this offering and to begin implementing the business and marketing plan. The expenses of this offering include the preparation of this prospectus, the filing of this registration statement and transfer agent fees and developing the business plan. As of June 30, 2013 we had $ 8,900 cash on hand.
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have incurred expenses of $2,100 on our operations as of June 30, 2013 and our only other activity consisted of the sale of 9,000,000 shares of our common stock to our sole director and officer for aggregate proceeds of $9,000.
We have not generated any revenues from our operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies (See “Risk Factors“). To become profitable and competitive, we must develop the business plan and execute the plan. Our management will attempt to secure financing through various means including borrowing and investment from institutions and private individuals.
Since inception, the majority of our time has been spent refining its business plan and preparing for a primary financial offering.
Our results of operations are summarized below:
| | | |
| | June 18 2013 (Inception) |
| | To June 30,2013 |
| | (Audited) |
Revenue | | | — |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this prospectus, we had yet to generate any revenues from our business operations. For the period ended June 30, 2013, we issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director for cash proceeds of $9,000.
Our current cash on hand is $ 8,900, which is allocated to cover the expenses associated with this offering. Accordingly, we anticipate that our current cash on hand is not sufficient to meet the new obligations associated with being a company that is fully reporting with the SEC. However, to the extent that we do not expend the entire cash on hand on this offering, the remaining cash will be allocated to cover these new reporting company obligations, and our “Use of Proceeds” would be adjusted accordingly. Nonetheless, based on our disclosure above under “Use of Proceeds,” which is based on utilizing the entire cash on hand for this offering, we anticipate that any level of capital raised above 35% will allow us minimal operations for three month period while meeting our State and SEC required compliance obligations. Although, the sale of 100% of the securities in this offering will not provide sufficient capital to fully implement the business plan, it will enable us to begin executing our business plan to support pursuing investment capital.
As of June 30, 2013, we spent $2,100 on formation and accounting fees. We raised the cash amounts to be used in these activities from the sale of common stock to our sole officer and director; we currently have accrued liabilities of $2,000 and a working capital of $6,900.
To date, the Company has managed to keep our monthly cash flow requirement low for two reasons. First, our sole officer does not draw a salary at this time. Second, the Company has been able to keep our operating expenses to a minimum by operating in space owned by our sole officer.
As of the date of this registration statement, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. Management believes if the Company cannot maintain its reporting status with the SEC it will have to cease all efforts directed towards the Company. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.
The Company currently has no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
The Sole director and officer has made no commitments written or oral, with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
If the Company is unable to raise the funds partially through this offering the Company will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to keep costs from being more than these estimated amounts or that the Company will be able to raise such funds. Even if we sell all shares offered through this registration statement, we expect that the Company will seek additional financing in the future. However, the Company may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, the Company may be forced to seek a buyer for our business or another entity with which we could create a joint venture. If all of these alternatives fail, we expect that the Company will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Our independent auditor has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. See Note 2 of our financial statements.
Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Our Board is comprised of one individual who is also our executive officer. Our executive officer makes decisions on all significant corporate matters such as the approval of terms of the compensation of our executive officer and the oversight of the accounting functions.
- 26 -
Although the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct the Company has not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, the Company is not required to do so. The Company has not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our Board as we presently do not have any independent directors. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, the Company may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our Board. It is possible that if our Board included independent directors and if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officer and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
Inflation
The effect of inflation on our revenues and operating results has not been significant.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. We have identified below the critical accounting policies which are assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain and that are of critical importance and have a material impact on our financial statements. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below involve the most complex management judgments due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions necessary in determining the related asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are discussed throughout this MD&A, where such policies have a material effect on reported and expected financial results.
A complete listing of our significant policies is included in Note 3 of the notes to our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, management expectations for future performance, and other assumptions as appropriate. We re-evaluate estimates on an ongoing basis; therefore, actual results may vary from those estimates.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(2)(B) of the Act. Among other things, this means that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers that would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected

Business Experience
MATTHEW EGNA , SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR
Mr. Egna is our founder and has served as our sole officer and director since our inception. He has 14 years experience in the Computer Information Systems Industry. In 1999 he was responsible for contract management, and development of commercial and corporate websites. From July 1999 through December 2001 he was a Web Consultant, managing and maintain 5 corporate websites for industry leading company in retail management and he consulting and web programming on contracted projects for Fortune 500 companies. From January 2002 until April 2004 he was with ADUSA Technologies, Inc. Responsible for all post-sales phases of the product interface development life-cycle, including Analysis, Design, Implementation, Documentation, Deployment, and Support. From April 2003 until February 2008 he was President of Egna & Vandevoir Systems where he was involved in sales and web programming on contracted projects and large / international e-commerce websites, including inventory management and fulfillment. From May 2007 to current he is Director of Systems Design and Engineering at ADUSA, Inc. where he manages, designs and implements projects growing the company’s product portfolio revenue and was responsible for new hardware integration and solution architecture.
It is Mr. Egna’s opinion that he has the qualifications to serve as the Director of the Company. Mr. Egna has the Education, Experience, hands on Training and Management know how via his 14 years in the Computer industry as outlined. Mr. Egna believes he can attract consultants needed to assist him in further directing the Corporations needs.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
As of June 30, 2013, we have no employees. Mr. Matthew Egna, our founder, Sole officer and director, currently devotes 10 to 25 hours per week to our business as required from time to time without compensation. We have not entered into any formal agreement with Mr. Egna regarding the provision of his services to the Company.
Mr. Egna is not obligated to commit his full time and attention to our business and accordingly, he may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating his time between our operations and those of other businesses.
Although Mr. Egna is presently able to devote 10 to 25 hours per week to our business while maintaining his own livelihood, this may change. Also, if we require Mr. Egna to devote more than 10 to 25 hours per week to our business on a regular basis for an extended period, it is uncertain that he will be able to satisfy our requirements unless we have sufficient resources to compensate him for any lost income from his livelihood.
In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to the corporation if:
| |
· | the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity; |
· | the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and |
· | it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation. |
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our sole director has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our sole director. Because we do not have any independent directors, our sole director believes that the establishment of committees of the Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our sole director established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our sole director has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board.
Given our relative size and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
- 29 -
Our sole director is not an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or board of directors who:
| |
· | understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, |
| |
· | is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, |
| |
· | has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements, |
| |
· | understands internal controls over financial reporting, and |
| |
· | understands audit committee functions. |
Our Board is comprised of solely of Mr. Egna who was integral to our formation and who is involved in our day to day operations. While we would prefer to have an audit committee financial expert on our Board, Mr. Egna does not have a professional background in finance or accounting. As with most small, early stage companies until such time our company further develops its business, achieves a stronger revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors and officers insurance, the Company does not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When the Company is able to expand our Board to include one or more independent directors, the Company intends to establish an Audit Committee of our Board. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent and the Company is not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our Board.
Wedo not have any independent directors and the Companyhas not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We have made no provisions for paying cash or non-cash compensation to our sole officer and director. No salaries are being paid at the present time, no salaries or other compensation were paid in cash, or otherwise, for services performed prior to June 18, 2013 our date of inception, and no compensation will be paid unless and until our operations generate sufficient cash flows.
The table below summarizes all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to our named executive officer for all services rendered in all capacities to us for the period from inception June 18, 2013 through June 30, 2013.

Our sole director has not adopted a stock option plan. We have no plans to adopt a stock option plan, but may choose to do so in the future. If such a plan is adopted, this may be administered by the board or a committee appointed by the board (the “Committee”). The committee would have the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding options and to authorize the grant of new options in substitution therefore, provided that any such action may not impair any rights under any option previously granted. We may develop an incentive based stock option plan for our officer and director and may reserve up to 10% of our outstanding shares of common stock for that purpose.
Options Grants during the Last Fiscal Year / Stock Option Plans
We do not currently have a stock option plan in favor of any director, officer, consultant or employee of our company. No individual grants of stock options, whether or not in tandem with stock appreciation rights known as SARs or freestanding SARs have been made to our Sole director and officer since our inception; accordingly, no stock options have been granted or exercised by our sole director and officer since we were founded.
Aggregated Options Exercises in Last Fiscal Year
No individual grants of stock options, whether or not in tandem with stock appreciation rights known as SARs or freestanding SARs have been made to our sole director and officer since our inception; accordingly, no stock options have been granted or exercised by our sole director and officer since we were founded.

Long-Term Incentive Plans and Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance. No individual grants or agreements regarding future payouts under non-stock price-based plans have been made to our sole director and officer or any employee or consultant since our inception; accordingly, no future payouts under non-stock price-based plans or agreements have been granted or entered into or exercised by our Sole director and officer or employees or consultants since we were founded.
Compensation of Directors
Our sole director is not compensated by us for acting as such. He is reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred. There are no arrangements pursuant to which our Sole director is or will be compensated in the future for any services provided as a director.
We do not have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our Board.
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment, Change-In-Control Arrangements
There are no employment contracts or other contracts or arrangements with our officer or director other than those disclosed in this report. There are no compensation plans or arrangements, including payments to be made by us, with respect to Mr. Egna that would result from his resignation, retirement or any other termination.

Since our formation on June 18, 2013, there have been no other transactions, or any currently proposed transactions in which we are, or plan to be, a participant and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Director Independence
We intend to quote our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board which does not have any director independence requirements. Once we engage further directors and officers, we plan to develop a definition of independence and scrutinize our Board with regard to this definition.
Legal Proceedings
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.
We intend to furnish annual reports to stockholders, which will include audited financial statements reported on by our Certified Public Accountants. In addition, we will issue unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to stockholders, as we deem appropriate or required by applicable securities regulations.

REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
As a result of this offering, we will become subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance with this law, upon effectiveness of the registration statement we are required to comply only with the limited reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders:
Changing Technologies, Inc.
Estero, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Changing Technologies, Inc. (a development stage entity) as of June 30, 2013 and the related statement of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the period from June 18, 2013 (date of inception) through June 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our 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. 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 Changing Technologies, Inc. (a development stage entity) as of June 30, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from June 18, 2013 (date of inception) through June 30, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss, has not emerged from the development stage, and may be unable to raise necessary equity to implement its’ business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Changing Technologies, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from June 18, 2013 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2013
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Changing Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, was formed to design, develop and distribute applications for mobile devices (“Apps”) on the Apple iOS and Google Android platform; It is the Company’s intent to sell its products through Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. The Company was incorporated on June 18, 2013 (Date of Inception) with its corporate headquarters located in Estero, Florida and its fiscal year-end is June 30, 2013.
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 June 30, 2013, the Company had no operations. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has 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 3 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-7
Changing Technologies, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from June 18, 2013 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 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. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
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.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES AND VALUATION ALLOWANCE
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, 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. Under FASB ASC 740, 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.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Expenditures for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. There has been no research and development cost incurred for the period June 18, 2013 (date of inception) through June 30, 2013.
COMMON STOCK
The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.
F-8
Changing Technologies, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
For the Period from June 18, 2013 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2013
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. There is currently no dilutive shares outstanding
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2013.
REVENUE AND COST 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 June 18, 2013 (date of inception) through June 30, 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 June 18, 2013 (date of inception) through June 30, 2013 the Company incurred losses of $2,100. 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.

NOTE 5. SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY
COMMON STOCK
The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 250,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0001.
The Company issued 9,000,000 shares of our $.0001 par value common stock to Matthew Egna , our CEO and sole director, on June 18, 2013 for cash in the amount of $9,000 (per share price of $.001).
There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock of the Company.
NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On June 18, 2013 the Company sold 9,000,000 shares of common stock to its founder for $0.001 per share.
The officer and director of the Company is or may be involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. He may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
The Company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the Company was arranged by the founder of the Company to use at no charge.
The above is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been incurred had a comparable transaction been entered into with independent parties.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through July 12, 2013, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date that would have a material effect on the financial statements thereby requiring adjustment or disclosure.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Title XXXVI, Chapter 607, of the Florida Statutes (the “Florida Business Corporation Act”) 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.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Florida 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.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the last three fiscal years we have had the following issuances of unregistered securities:
| |
(a) | On June 18, 2013, we issued 9,000,000 shares to Mr. Egna, the Company’s founder, in exchange for cash of $9,000. We relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts from registration “transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering |
It is our belief Mr. Egna had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment and therefore did not need the protections offered their shares under Securities and Act of 1933, as amended. Mr. Egna certified that he was purchasing the shares for their own accounts, with investment intent. This offering was not accompanied by general advertisement or general solicitation and the shares were issued with a Rule 144 restrictive legend.

II-2
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
