COMMON STOCK
MOMENTOUS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC.
Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. is offering for sale a total of 21,750,000 shares of its common stock at a fixed price of $0.01 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the offering to close, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares that are sold. The offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means that our president and chief executive officer, Kurt E. Neubauer, and other senior officers, John Pepe and Tim Williams, will attempt to sell the shares. This prospectus will permit our principal executive officers to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares that they may sell. Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams will sell the shares and intend to offer them to friends, family members and business acquaintances. In offering the securities on our behalf, they will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The intended methods of communication include, without limitations, telephone and personal contact. For more information, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Plan of Distribution."
All subscription funds will be deposited in a noninterest-bearing account by the escrow agent. The Company reserves the right to begin using these proceeds as soon as the funds have been received or any time thereafter and will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering. The precise amounts and timing of the Company’s use of the net proceeds will depend upon market conditions and the availability of other funds, among other factors. The offering will be completed 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended by our board of directors for an additional 180 days. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold. All subscription agreements and checks for payment of shares are irrevocable (except as to any states that require a statutory cooling-off period or rescission right). For more information, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Plan of Distribution."
We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings.
There is currently no public or established market for our shares. Consequently, our shareholders will not be able to sell their shares in any organized market place and may be limited to selling their shares privately. Accordingly, an investment in our Company is an illiquid investment. Our shares will be considered a “penny stock” will severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
THIS INVESTMENT INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD PURCHASE ONLY IF YOU CAN AFFORD A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT. SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 9.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
About Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc.
Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. was founded by Kurt E. Neubauer as Financial Equity Partners, Inc., a Texas company, in 2004 and was incorporated as a C corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada as Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. in November 2013. We had very limited activities until June 2013 when we started designing a detailed business plan focused on creating, producing and distributing quality entertainment content across various media channels utilizing direct response media marketing.
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as a company is deemed to be an emerging growth company, it may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are generally unavailable to other public companies.
Our shares will be considered a “penny stock.” Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. This classification will severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
Our mailing address isPO Box 861, Sugar Land, Texas 77487-0861. For the foreseeable future Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams will provide offices in their personal residences. Our telephone number is 800-314-8912.
We may refer to ourselves in this prospectus as "MEG,” the “Company,” "we," or "us.”
The Offering
Although we will not raise a significant amount of funds from this offering, we believe, based solely on our own observations which are not linked to any formal studies, that larger companies will find the proposal from a public company seeking to provide services more appealing than a similar proposal from a small, closely-held private company. We also believe that our ability to raise capital will increase if and when a market develops for our common stock compared to if we were a closely held private company.
MEG is offering for sale a maximum of 21,750,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.01 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the offering to close, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares that are sold. The offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means our principal executive officers, Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams, will attempt to sell the shares themselves making them statutory underwriters under the Securities Act. This prospectus will permit Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares that they may sell. They will sell the shares themselves and intend to offer the shares to friends, family members and business acquaintances. In offering the securities on our behalf, they will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The intended methods of communication include, without limitation, telephone and personal contacts.
The proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering will be payable to Frank J. Hariton, Attorney-at-Law, - Escrow Account. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable and should be delivered to Frank J. Hariton, Attorney-at-Law at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement.
All subscription funds initially will be deposited in a noninterest-bearing account by the escrow agent and will be forwarded to the Company at the end of each week. The Company reserves the right to begin using these proceeds as soon as the funds have been received or any time thereafter and will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering. The precise amounts and timing of the Company’s use of the net proceeds will depend upon market conditions and the availability of other funds, among other factors. We are utilizing an escrow agent to ensure that the subscription agreements are properly executed, that funds clear before shares are released to investors, and that investors receive shares when the Company receives funds.
The offering will be completed 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended by our board of directors for an additional 180 days. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold. All subscription agreements and checks for payment of shares are irrevocable.
4
The Company will deliver stock certificates attributable to shares of common stock purchased directly to the purchasers within 90 days of the close of the offering or as soon thereafter as practicable.
The offering price of the common stock has been determined arbitrarily and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in theJOBS Act. For as long as a company is deemed to be an emerging growth company, it may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are generally unavailable to other public companies. These provisions include:
·
a requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management's Discussion and Analysis included in an initial public offering registration statement;
·
an exemption to provide less than five years of selected financial data in an initial public offering registration statement;
·
an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company's internal controls over financial reporting;
·
an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies;
·
an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer;
·
reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company's executive compensation arrangements; and
·
be exempt from the "say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the "say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of Chief Executive Officers;
As an emerging growth company we are also exempt from:
·
Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley which requires that the registered accounting firm shall attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
·
Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.
Section 107 of theJOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of:
·
the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering,
·
the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1 billion or more,
·
the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or
·
as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

RISK FACTORS
You should be aware that there are various risks to an investment in our common stock. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before you decide to invest in shares of our common stock.
If any of the following risks were to develop, then our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock, if any, could decline, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.
Risks Related to the Business
1.
We have a limited operating history as an entertainment company in which to evaluate our business.
We plan on being an entertainment, direct response marketing, motion picture and music production company. However, we have been unable to implement much of this new business model because of financing and resource constraints and limitations. To date, we have limited revenues from music CD sales and a very limited operating history as a motion picture company upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Current and future Company assets, including scripts and other properties that may be obtained in the future, may not be suitable for development unless additional financing is secured. No assurances of any nature can be made to investors that we will be profitable or that it will remain in business. There can be no assurances that our management will be successful in managing Momentous as an entertainment company.
2.
Our independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have no committed sources of debt or equity financing. Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2013 that states that this lack of resources causes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain necessary financing to continue as a going concern.
3.
Momentous is and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our three founders, the loss of any of one or more of whose services may cause our business operations to cease, and we will need to engage and retain qualified employees and consultants to further implement our strategy.
Our operations and business strategy are completely dependent upon the knowledge and business connections of Mr. Neubauer, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Mr. Pepe, our Secretary and Chief Operations Officer, and Mr. Williams, our Executive Vice President of Business Development. They are under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us. If one or more should choose to leave us for any reason or become ill and are unable to work for an extended period of time before we have hired additional personnel, our operations will likely fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described in this prospectus. We will fail without the services of each of our three founders or an appropriate replacement(s).
We intend to acquire key-man life insurance on the lives of Messrs. Neubauer and Pepe naming us as the beneficiary when and if we obtain the resources to do so and if they are insurable at the time of application. We have not yet procured such insurance, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such insurance in the future. Accordingly, it is important that we are able to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and talented personnel and independent contractors.
4.
Because the entertainment industry is intensely competitive and we lack the name recognition and resources of many of our competitors, we may never generate any revenues or become profitable.
The entertainment industry is highly competitive. We believe that a motion picture’s theatrical success is dependent upon general public acceptance, marketing technology, advertising and the quality of the production. Some of the production and distribution companies with which we will compete to varying extents are The Weinstein Company, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Miramax Films, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc., New Line Cinema, a subsidiary of Time Warner, Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, a subsidiary of News Corp., Buena Vista Motion Pictures Group, a collection of affiliated motion picture studios all subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company, Paramount Pictures Corporation, a subsidiary of Viacom, and Troma Entertainment, Inc. All of these competitors are significantly larger than we are, have a long-standing business relationship with customers, vendors and financial institutions, and have established staying power in the industry over the past 20 years.
7
Our management believes that in recent years there has been an increase in competition in virtually all facets of the motion picture industry. With increased alternative distribution channels for many types of entertainment, the motion picture business competes more intensely than previously with all other types of entertainment activities as well as television. While increased use of pay per view television, pay television channels, and home video products are potentially beneficial, there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully penetrate these markets. Failure to penetrate these potential distribution channels would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and ability to maintain operations.
5.
We may be unable to obtain or license entertainment media that will be popular in the marketplace.
We will seek to obtain or license entertainment media developed by others. If we are unable to do so or if the entertainment media that we do acquire or license is not well received in the marketplace, our operations will fail.
6.
We intend to distribute our films in various international markets which may be unpredictable and may have unstable and different governments and/or laws than the United States.
We plan to license motion picture and television programming to sub-distributors located in various international markets. If we have any success in this regard, of which we can provide no assurances, a portion of our revenues will be derived from foreign sources. Because of this, our business may become subject to certain risks inherent in international trade, many of which are beyond our control. Such risks include, but are not limited to, changes in laws and policies affecting trade, investment and taxes (including laws and policies relating to the repatriation of funds and to withholding taxes), differing degrees of protection for intellectual property, the instability of foreign economies and governments and in some cases an adverse acceptance to a film may occur, resulting in a demand to renegotiate the license agreement’s terms and conditions. In addition, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may affect our future results of operations.
7.
Piracy of the original motion pictures that we plan to produce or distribute may reduce our revenues and potential earnings.
Based on conversations that we have had with industry participants, we believe that piracy losses in the motion picture industry have increased substantially over the past decade. In certain regions of the world, motion picture piracy has been a major issue for some time. With the proliferation of the DVD format around the globe, along with other digital recording and playback devices, losses from piracy have spread more rapidly in North America and Europe. Piracy of original motion pictures that we produce and/or distribute may adversely impact the gross receipts realized from these films, which could have a material adverse effect on our future business, results of operations or financial condition.
8.
Our three officers will make all decisions concerning their compensation for the foreseeable future. These decisions may not be in the best interests of other investors.
There is no employment contract with any of our three executive officers at this time; nor are there any agreements for compensation in the future. Their compensation has not been fixed or based on any percentage calculations. They will make all decisions determining the amount and timing of compensation for the foreseeable future until, if ever, we establish a compensation committee of the board of directors. Their decisions about compensation may not be in the best interests of other shareholders.
9.
We intend to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.
Following the effective date of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
8
In no case will the proceeds of this offering be sufficient to assist us in any way to meet any portion of these incremental costs of being public.
10.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our internal controls may become inadequate or ineffective if our operations grow, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.
11.
Our operating results will fluctuate significantly from period to period.
Like participants in the entertainment industry, our revenues and results of operations will be significantly dependent upon the timing of releases and the commercial success of the motion pictures and other media that we distribute, none of which can be predicted with certainty. In addition, we will only be able to issue a very limited number of films or other media in any individual accounting period. The level of market acceptance for each release is likely to vary and may vary greatly. Accordingly, our revenues and results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and the results of any one period may not be indicative of the results for any future periods.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and industry practice, we intend to amortize film costs using the individual-film-forecast method under which such costs are amortized for each film in the ratio that revenue earned in the current period for such title bears to management's estimate of the total revenues to be realized from all media and markets for such title. To comply with this accounting principle, our management plans to regularly review, and revise when necessary, our total revenue estimates on a title-by-title basis, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization and/or a write-down of the film asset to net realizable value. Results of operations in future years should be dependent upon our amortization of film costs and may be significantly affected by periodic adjustments in amortization rates. The likelihood of the Company's reporting of losses is increased because the industry's accounting method requires the immediate recognition of the entire loss in instances where it is expected that a motion picture should not recover the Company's investment.
Similarly, should any of our films be profitable in a given period, we will recognize that profit over the entire revenue stream expected to be generated by the individual film.
12.
Film production budgets may and often do increase and film production spending may exceed such budgets.
It is common for future film budgets to increase as the production process is underway for a variety of factors including, but not limited to, (1) escalation in compensation rates of people required to work on the projects, (2) number of personnel required to work on the projects, (3) equipment needs, (4) the enhancement of existing or the development of new proprietary technology and (5) the addition of facilities to accommodate the amended or unseen requirements of the project. Due to production exigencies, which are often difficult to predict, it is not uncommon for film production spending to exceed film production budgets, and our projects may not be completed within the budgeted amounts. In addition, when production of each film is completed, we may incur significant carrying costs associated with transitioning personnel on creative and development teams from one project to another. This situation becomes more severe if several projects are being undertaken at the same time or planned to be done contiguously.
9
Our limited resources may not permit us to meet unexpected costs during productions. If such cost excesses occur and we are unable to arrange for the necessary financial needs, our operations may cease.
13.
If we are alleged or accused of having infringed on the intellectual property or other rights of third parties, we could be subject to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights.
Our business activities are and will be highly dependent upon intellectual property, a field that has encountered increasing litigation in recent years. If third parties allege that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, privacy rights or publicity rights or have defamed them, we could become a party to litigation. These claims and any resulting lawsuits could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights and/or restrict our ability to publish and distribute the infringing or defaming content. In addition, defending such cases involves significant levels of legal costs. There can be no assurance that we would prevail in any such litigation. If we were to lose a litigation relating to intellectual property, we could be forced to pay monetary damages and to cease the sale of certain products or the use of certain technology. Any of the foregoing may adversely affect our business and may cause us to cease operations.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
14.
Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations or to acquire rights to or licenses for films or other products. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.
15.
The interests of shareholders may be hurt because we can issue shares of our common stock to individuals or entities that support existing management with such issuances serving to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of our Company.
Our three executive officers and directors own a significant majority of outstanding shares. In addition, our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. Such issuances may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management and the interests of existing management which may not be the same as the interests of other shareholders. Although transactions, other than those described in this prospectus, are not currently being contemplated or discussed, our ability to issue shares without shareholder approval serves to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of our Company or participate in other transactions, including entering into possible business combinations, without the support of other shareholders.
16.
Our chief executive officer and directors control all corporate activities and can approve all transactions, including mergers, without the approval of other shareholders.
Our chief executive officer and directors have a sufficient number of shares to control all corporate activities and can approve transactions, including possible mergers, issuance of shares and their compensation level, without the approval of other shareholders. The decisions may not be in the best interests of other shareholders.
17.
Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
Our Articles of Incorporation at Article XI provide for indemnification as follows: "No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer: (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any repeal or modification of an Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation of the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification."
10
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, eitherof which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
18.
Currently, there is no established public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any established public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading and, even if quoted, it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations.
Prior to the date of this prospectus, there has not been any established trading market for our common stock, and there is currently no established public market whatsoever for our securities. A market maker has agreed to file an application with FINRA on our behalf so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCBB maintained by FINRA commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the subsequent closing of this offering. There can be no assurance that the market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA nor can we estimate as to the time period that the application will require or that any buying of our shares will ever take place.
Because of the anticipated low price of the securities being registered, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in these securities. Purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock will be subject to the penny stock restrictions.
19.
Our shares may not become eligible to be traded electronically which would result in brokerage firms being unwilling to trade them.
If we become able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCBB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all companies on the OTCBB. What this boils down to is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
20.
Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.
Our shares will be considered a “penny stock.” Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. This classification will severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
21.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.
Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
·
"Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons;
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
·
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
11
22.
Any trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws that prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.
There is currently no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any established public market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in at least 17 states which do not offer manual exemptions (or may offer manual exemptions but may not to offer one to us if we are considered to be a shell company at the time of application) and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one. See also “Plan of Distribution-State Securities-Blue Sky Laws.”
23.
Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.
Our articles of incorporation allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval, including large blocks of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.
24.
The ability of our executive officers and directors to control our business may limit or eliminate minority shareholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.
Upon the completion of this offering, our executive officers and directors will beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 62.6% of our outstanding common stock. Because of their beneficial stock ownership, they will be in a position to continue to elect our board of directors, decide all matters requiring stockholder approval, including potential mergers or business changes, and determine our policies. The interests of our executive officers and directors may differ from the interests of other shareholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority shareholders would have no way of overriding decisions made by our executive officers and directors. This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our shares because our three executive officers may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that may result in losses, may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and/or may sell sufficient numbers of shares to significantly decrease our price per share.
25.
All of our presently issued and outstanding common shares are restricted under rule 144 of the Securities Act, as amended. When the restriction on any or all of these shares is lifted, and the shares are sold in the open market, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
All of the presently outstanding shares of common stock (48,595,450 shares) are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who is not an affiliate and has held restricted securities for a prescribed period of at least six months if purchased from a reporting issuer or 12 months (as is the case herein) if purchased from a non-reporting Company, may, under certain conditions, sell all or any of his/her shares without volume limitation, in brokerage transactions. Affiliates, however, may not sell shares in excess of 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock each three months. As a result of revisions to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008, there is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for the aforementioned prescribed period of time. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
12
26.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.
27.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our president and other two officers have the ability, among other things, to determine ther own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
28.
You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.
As of effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying (see “Where You Can Find More Information” elsewhere in this prospectus). Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may (in our discretion) be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8A (which we have no current plans to file). If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted. After this registration statement on Form S-1 becomes effective, we will be required to deliver periodic reports to security holders. However, 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. Previously, a company with more than 500 shareholders of record and $10 million in assets had to register under the Exchange Act. However, the JOBS Act raises the minimum shareholder threshold from 500 to either 2,000 persons or 500 persons who are not "accredited investors" (or 2,000 persons in the case of banks and bank holding companies). The JOBS Act excludes securities received by employees pursuant to employee stock incentive plans for purposes of calculating the shareholder threshold. This means that access to information regarding our business and operations will be limited.
29.
If our stock becomes quoted on the OTCBB, we could subsequently be removed from the OTCBB if we fail to remain current with our financial reporting requirements.
Companies trading on the OTCBB must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCBB. If we become quoted on the OTCBB, but we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we would be removed from the OTCBB. As a result, the market liquidity of our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

30.
Our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with new or revised accounting standards.
We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period that Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides an emerging growth company, as provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Because the JOBS Act has only recently been enacted, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
31.
Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act OF 2012 may make it more difficult to raise capital when we need to do so.
Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
32.
We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations that affect public companies, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.
As a public company and particularly after we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting and corporate governance requirements. These requirements include compliance with provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the SEC and NASDAQ. In addition, our management team will also have to adapt to the requirements of being a public company. We expect that compliance with these rules and regulations will substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
The increased costs associated with operating as a public company will decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.
However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”
33.
We will not be required to comply with certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company.”
We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with certain of these rules, which will require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Though we will be required to disclose changes made in our internal control procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of (i) the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC or (ii) the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act.
14
Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.
34.
Reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
As an “emerging growth company” , we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk.
USE OF PROCEEDS
MEG will apply the proceeds from the offering for working capital.
Instruction 7 to Item 504 of Regulation S-K permits us to reserve the right to change the use of proceeds, provided that such reservation is due to certain contingencies that are discussed specifically and the alternatives to such use in that event are indicated. We are not aware of any contingencies and, therefore, we will not avail ourselves of this right. Our plans will not change regardless of whether the maximum proceeds are raised, except to the extent that as indicated in the “Liquidity” section ofManagement's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, our president is responsible for all costs relating to the offering if these costs are not paid within six months of the effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part provided that we have received a trading symbol for our shares.
THE OFFERING
MEG is offering a total of 21,750,000 shares of common stock for sale at a fixed price of $0.01 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the offering to close, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares that are sold. The offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means our principal officers, Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams, will attempt to sell the shares. This prospectus will permit our three principal officers to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares that they may sell. They will sell the shares and intend to offer them to friends, family members and business acquaintances. In offering the securities on our behalf, they will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The intended methods of communication include, without limitations, telephone and personal contact.
In connection with MEG’s selling efforts in the offering, Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams will not register as broker-dealers pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Exchange Act. Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer’s securities. Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams are not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. They will not be compensated in connection with their participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams are not, nor have they been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and they are not, nor have any of them been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
The proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering will be payable to Frank J. Hariton, Attorney-at- Law, - Escrow Account. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable and should be delivered to Frank J. Hariton, Attorney-at-Law, at the address provided on the Subscription Agreement.
15
MEG will receive all proceeds from the sale of the 21,750,000 shares being offered. The price per share is fixed at $0.01 for the duration of this offering. The Company reserves the right to begin using these proceeds as soon as the funds have been received or any time thereafter and will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering.
The offering will be completed 180 days from the effective date of this prospectus (or such earlier date when all 21,750,000 shares are sold), unless extended by our board of directors for an additional 180 days. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold. All subscription agreements and checks for payment of shares are irrevocable.
The Company will deliver stock certificates attributable to shares of common stock purchased directly to the purchasers within 90 days of the close of the offering or as soon thereafter as practicable.
We have the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without interest or deductions. Subscriptions for securities will be accepted or rejected within 48 hours after we receive them.
The offering may terminate on the earlier of:
i.
the date when the sale of all 21,750,000 shares is completed,
ii.
180 days from the effective date of this document or any extension thereto.
The offering price of the common stock has been determined arbitrarily and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth.
The purchase of the common stock in this offering involves a high degree of risk. The common stock offered in this prospectus is for investment purposes only, and currently no market for our common stock exists. While a market maker has agreed to file a Rule 211 application with FINRA in order to apply for the inclusion of our common stock in the OTCBB, such efforts may not be successful, and our shares may never be quoted and owners of our common stock may not have a market in which to sell the shares. Also, no estimate may be given as to the time that this application process will require.
If we become able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCBB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the DTC to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all the companies on the OTCBB). What this means is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
Please refer to the sections of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" and "Dilution" before making an investment in this stock.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the common stock has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth. In determining the offering price, management considered such factors as the prospects, if any, for similar companies, anticipated results of operations, present financial resources and the likelihood of acceptance of this offering. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business. We cannot assure you that a public market for our securities will develop or continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price.
DILUTION
“Dilution” represents the difference between the offering price of the shares of common stock hereby being offered and the net book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of this Offering. "Net book value" is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities from total assets. In this Offering, the level of dilution is increased as a result of the relatively low net book value of our issued and outstanding common stock and because the proceeds of the offering are substantially less than our estimated costs. Assuming all of the shares of common stock offered herein are sold, the purchasers in this Offering will lose the entire value of their shares purchased in that each purchased share will have a negative net book value of ($0.002) if 21,750,000 shares are sold. The net book value of existing shareholders’ shares will also decrease because the estimated costs will exceed the proceeds received from this Offering.

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid cash or any other form of dividend on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Moreover, any future credit facilities might contain restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends on our common stock. We plan to retain all earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future for use in the operation of our business and to fund the pursuit of future growth. Future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, capital requirements and on such other factors as our board of directors, in its discretion, may consider relevant.
MARKET FOR SECURITIES
There is no established public market for our common stock, and a public market may never develop. A market maker has filed an application with FINRA so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCBB maintained by FINRA commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the subsequent closing of this offering. There can be no assurance that the market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA nor can we estimate as to the time period that the application will require. We are not permitted to file such application on our own behalf. If the application is accepted, there can be no assurances as to whether:
·
any market for our shares will develop;
·
the prices at which our common stock will trade; or
·
the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.
If we become able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCBB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the DTC to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all the companies on the OTCBB). What this boils down to is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
17
In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to inRisk Factors, investor perception of MEG and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter market which is commonly referred to as the OTCBB as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.
Because of the anticipated low price of the securities being registered, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in these securities. Purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock will be subject to the penny stock restrictions.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
·
the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
There is no MEG common equity subject to outstanding options or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into our common equity. Also, 90.6% of the shares of our outstanding common stock are held by members of our board of directors (44,009,300 shares). In general, under Rule 144, a holder of restricted common shares who is an affiliate at the time of the sale or any time during the three months preceding the sale can resell shares, subject to the restrictions described below.
If we have been a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days immediately before the sale, then at least six months must have elapsed since the shares were acquired from us or one of our affiliates, and we must remain current in our filings for an additional period of six months; in all other cases, at least one year must have elapsed since the shares were acquired from us or one of our affiliates.
18
The number of shares sold by such person within any three-month period cannot exceed the greater of:
·
1% of the total number of our common shares then outstanding; or
·
The average weekly trading volume of our common shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale is filed with the SEC (or, if Form 144 is not required to be filed, the four calendar weeks preceding the date the selling broker receives the sell order) This condition is not currently available to the Company because its securities do not trade on a recognized exchange.
Conditions relating to the manner of sale, notice requirements (filing of Form 144 with the SEC) and the availability of public information about us must also be satisfied.
All of the presently outstanding shares of our common stock are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available.
At the present time, the currently outstanding shares of our common stock may be sold subject to the rules and limitations of Rule 144 one year from the date of issuance provided that we are current in all of our Reporting Requirements at that date.
Current Public Information
In general, for sales by affiliates and non-affiliates, the satisfaction of the current public information requirement depends on whether we are a public reporting company under the Exchange Act:
·
If we have been a public reporting company for at least 90 days immediately before the sale, then the current public information requirement is satisfied if we have filed all periodic reports (other than Form 8-K) required to be filed under the Exchange Act during the 12 months immediately before the sale (or such shorter period as we have been required to file those reports).
·
If we have not been a public reporting company for at least 90 days immediately before the sale, then the requirement is satisfied if specified types of basic information about us (including our business, management and our financial condition and results of operations) are publicly available.
However, no assurance can be given as to the:
·
likelihood of a market for our common shares developing,
·
liquidity of any such market,
·
ability of the shareholders to sell the shares, or
·
prices that shareholders may obtain for any of the shares.
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares or the availability of shares for future sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the common shares.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under theJOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
·
have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
·
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
·
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
·
disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.
In addition, Section 107 of theJOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of
i.
the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion,
ii.
the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or
iii.
the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.
Operations
We have been general inactive from inception until the last half of 2012 when we developed our current business plan. Our chief executive officer and chief operating officer both have extensive experience and contacts in the entertainment and sales markets covered by this business plan.
A summary of operations for 2013 and 2012 follows:

All revenue relates to sales of a music CD,The Greatest Story Ever Sung,which was issued in October 2013.
The principal marketing, general and administrative costs were:
2013 – Officer compensation ($41,500) and professional/consulting fees ($143,854). The officer compensation was satisfied through the issuance of shares of common stock. The professional/consulting fees relate to services used to assist us in structuring our business plan and organization as well as to understand how best to arrange for financing of projects.
2012 - Professional/consulting fees were incurred in 2012 for similar purposes as in 2013. A total of $60,000 was incurred with two of our officers/directors prior to them assuming those roles with us.
Other
As a corporate policy,we will not incur any cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, of which there are currently none except as described in “Liquidity” below and/or elsewhere in this prospectus. We believe that the perception that many people, including potential customers and business associates, have of a public company make it more likely that they will be more likely to engage a public company for services or accept restricted securities from a public company as consideration for indebtedness to them than they would from a private company. We have not performed any studies of this matter. Our conclusion is based on our own observations. However, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts even if we are a public entity. Additionally, issuance of restricted shares would necessarily dilute the percentage of ownership interest of our stockholders.
Liquidity
We will have to obtain financing on an ongoing basis as we get involved in film and other entertainment projects. Our management believes that being a public company will increase the likelihood of success in obtaining financing both by increasing our credibility and visibility to potential investors. In addition if a market is developed for our common stock, some vendors and others may accept shares of our stock in lieu of cash.
We will pay all costs relating to this offering.
The Company has two demand loan payables outstanding in the principal amounts of $15,000 and $10,000, respectively. Both lenders are not affiliated to the Company. The loan with the balance of $10,000 is convertible at the holder’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $.25 per share.
Private capital, if sought, will be sought from former business associates of our founder or private investors referred to us by those business associates. To date, we have not sought any funding source and have not authorized any person or entity to seek out funding on our behalf. If a market for our shares ever develops, of which there can be no assurances, we may attempt to use shares of our common stock to compensate employees/consultants and independent contractors wherever possible. The prices that will be used will be determined during negotiations and may or may not be at perceived market values. We also believe that if a market does develop for our shares that our chances to raise funds will increase significantly.
We have embarked upon an effort to become a public company and, by doing so, have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and other services. Once we become a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of '34, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required. We estimate, based on verbal discussions with consultants, accountants and lawyers, that these costs may range up to $50,000 per year for the next few years. In the next one to two fiscal years, we will take every step possible to minimize these costs. Through their past work and various participations in business organizations, our three executive officers know many professionals who are knowledgeable in the area of public company obligations. Although we have no formal commitments, we believe that some of these professionals may assist us for very reasonable costs. We also hope to be able to use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use noncash means of settling obligations and compensate independent contractors who provide professional and other services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts. We will reduce the compensation levels paid to management if there is insufficient cash generated from operations to satisfy these costs.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
21
Section 107 of theJOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.
Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Note 2to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this prospectus, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Seasonality
We expect that business volume will typically be highest during the period May through October.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future.
BUSINESS
MEG was founded by Kurt E. Neubauer as Financial Equity Partners, Inc., a Texas company, in 2004 and was incorporated as a C corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada as Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. in November 2013. We had very limited activities until June 2011 when we started designing a detailed business plan focused on:
·
creating, producing and distributing quality entertainment content across various media channels including feature film, television, radio, the Internet, as well as various forms of digital media for use in the home or on mobile devices; and
·
utilizing direct response media marketing for our music and film products as well as adding key consumer products.
Direct response media and sales provide us with the potential of generating ongoing revenue on a consistent and relatively low risk basis.
In 2011 and 2012 we worked on the production of a movie with an entity affiliated with our president. Ultimately the movie was not released and all costs have been written off. Our share of costs were loaned by our president and are reflected in the account, Accounts Payable to President on our Balance Sheet.
To help undertake our efforts in a potentially effective way, in December 2013 we entered into a joint venture with Dixie Worldwide Productions, Inc. (“DWP”) which is a producer, developer, marketer and distributor of film, video news releases, commercials, infomercials and sellers of consumer products through Direct Response Television. We will assist DWP in selecting consumer products, design advertising and develop films and videos. DWP has several arrangements which have the potential for developing or carrying out the first few joint projects. These arrangements include a production service agreement with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to be the official production house for the Church and a strategic partnership with Dixie State University establishing The James Woods School of Cinematic Arts in St. George, Utah with a ten-year exclusive engagement to expand and use its campus television and film production facilities. DWP also has an agreement for the sale of fitness products designed by Nabile Innovations to be sold through direct response, international and retail.
MEG along with DWP has a combined management and marketing sales staff with over 150 years of collective experience in identifying, producing, marketing and selling film and music entertainment and consumer products.
22
Under the terms of the agreement with DWP, we will split profits equally on all joint projects. The agreement renews automatically each year unless terminated by one of the parties 30 days prior to the automatic renewal date. A copy of the joint venture agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part.
DWP’s principal executives have become members of MEG’s board of directors and received an aggregate of 1,507,500 shares of our common stock.
Current Status
In order to implement its business plan, MEG believes that we will need to raise approximately $2,000,000. We believe that being a public company will increase our credibility in the business community and the likelihood of us raising those proceeds through the issuance of shares for cash or services. However, we cannot give any assurances as to the likelihood or timing of being able to do so.
For the Christmas season of 2013, MEG issued its first product, a music CD entitledThe Greatest Story Ever Sung.This CD was assembled by Mr. Neubauer with assistance from several advisors and was sold principally from exhibit booths.
Direct Response Marketing
Our chief operating officer, John Pepe, has experience in the fields of advertising and marketing as well as entertainment.
MEG plans on using Direct Response Marketing to promote and sell:
·
Products that it obtains access to through its arrangements with DWP, and
·
Consumer entertainment products developed by MEG.
MEG will utilize direct response marketing and a variety of advertising channels to increase its exposure among prospective customers. The direct response industry, consisting of direct response television and radio marketing, live home shopping channels, direct mail, catalogs, internet marketing and advertising, and outbound telemarketing, is one of the fastest growing segments of the retailing industry.
MEG’s planned use of direct response TV, if implemented, will allow customers the opportunity to purchase products directly from the infomercial, thereby generating immediate sales and leads. Websites, email, and social media will be additional priorities for MEG in building its future sales channels.
MEG will promote its products through the use of predominantly short and long form infomercials as the basis of its promotional strategy. We believe that television advertising is an effective means of reaching a large target population when marketing consumer products allowing customers the opportunity to immediately answer the “call to action” and purchase products directly from the infomercial, thereby generating immediate sales and leads.
Infomercials are aired on local broadcast stations and national cable networks in over 200 broadcast markets. The scripts for our initial infomercials will be prepared jointly by us and representatives DWP. They will then be filmed through facilities arranged by DWP.
We will use an outside independent call center to handle telephone calls originating from the infomercials. Products will be stored at and shipped from an independent distribution center. There will generally be shipping and handling charges included with product sales to cover the costs of these centers.
Each station or cable network will be assigned a toll free telephone number by the call center and provided with an individual copy of the show digitally marked to display its unique number throughout the airing. Orders will be recorded by the inbound call center tracking each one as it corresponds to individual stations. Results will be analyzed and presented in a report to compare station results and quantify overall sales.
We have had preliminary discussions with call and distribution centers but have not entered into any formal agreements.
Going forward, we plan to expand marketing internationally and on social media and the Internet.
23
Films
MEG’s strategies for films are:
Develop Projects Jointly with DWP – the arrangement with DWP gives MEG access to the facilities at Dixie State University, including all cinematic equipment, staff and studios including a 16,000 square foot sound stage. This gives us the ability to produce films under our own direction.
Co-Productions - involve raising and providing funds for films that have started production and require additional financing. If we are able to obtain financing from contacts of our management, we could be selective in these ventures which are potentially beneficial for several reasons, including MEG can be the last in, meaning it has a shorter investment span than other investors and can also negotiate to be first out. The co-financing scenarios and requirements would look like this:
·
A studio project that is well packaged with a good script, key actors, and notable director;
·
An independent film project that is well packaged with a good script, key actors, and notable Director with 50% financing in place; or
·
An independent film project that is well packaged with a good script, key actors, and notable director with worldwide distribution in place.
Studios also often hire film production companies to produce films from their large inventories because they do not have the time and/or financial capability to undertake these projects due to emphasis being placed on larger mega productions. When the studio and the production company agree on a budget for the film, the production company keeps the difference between the budget and the actual cost of production, as well as a producer’s fee and a fixed percentage of the film's income from all distribution sources.
MEG’s ability to produce quality films at or under budget will stem from low overhead and strong relationships with industry suppliers. As MEG will not receive funds (other than the producer’s fee which is paid over the course of production) from the studio until after the film is delivered, interim financing will be arranged to cover the cost of producing the film. A completion bond will be mandatory.
Acquisition to Rights of Finished Films – We will identify potentially profitable, generally low budget, films through our network of independent filmmakers as well as industry festivals and trade shows like Sundance, Tribeca, Cannes, and Toronto. While it is possible that one or more of these films will be distributed in theaters, our business plan only relates to revenue sources from non-theatrical outlets.
We will negotiate to acquire the rights to license (as sales agent) these films for a period of seven to 25 years in return for a commission ranging from 10-30% of the licensing fees paid by the distributors. In some cases, we will incur minimal upfront costs including: advances to the filmmaker, costs for finalizing the film, and marketing costs. Upon signing a sales agent contract, we and the filmmakers will agree on the “market attendance fees”, trailer/artwork and other marketing costs. These costs, along with any advances to the filmmaker and/or costs to complete the film, will be recouped before any proceeds are paid to the filmmaker. We estimate that we will incur costs of approximately $25,000 to $150,000 per film to prepare marketing materials including the production of a trailer, artwork, etc.
MEG will market these films to distributors in domestic and international outlets by utilizing its relationships with distributors for various markets as well as through industry shows and conferences.
Competition
The direct response marketing industry includes numerous companies that market their products on television through infomercials. Competition among these companies is largely based on the ability to place infomercials into television time slots that yield the highest number of views and customer purchases for a particular product and the ability to purchase air time at competitive prices, create brand awareness, and generate profitable sales. Quality, reputation, and pricing are also vitally important in determining the profitability of infomercial products.
The competition in the film industry ranges from major film production companies to small independent film makers and distributors.
Many of these competitors have significantly more financial resources than do we. Our principal method to compete is to utilize the knowledge, experience and contacts of our management team. We cannot provide any assurances as to the likelihood of our success in this regard.

Possible Potential Conflicts
The OTCBB on which we plan to have our shares of common stock quoted does not currently have any director independence requirements.
No member of management will be required by us to work on a full time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer(s) and director(s) in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer's understanding of his/her fiduciary duties to us.
Currently we have only one officer and director (who is the same person), who are related to each other, and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which is applicable to our future employees and which also includes a Code of Ethics for our chief executive and principal financial officers and any persons performing similar functions. A code of ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
·
honest and ethical conduct,
·
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements,
·
compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations,
·
the prompt reporting violation of the code, and
·
accountability for adherence to the code.
A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Board of Directors
We currently have nine directors.
All directors hold office until the completion of their term of office, which is not longer than one year, or until their successors have been elected. Our directors’ terms of office expire on December 31, 2014. All officers are appointed annually by the board of directors and, subject to existing employment agreements (of which there are currently none) and serve at the discretion of the board. Currently, a person serving as a director receives no compensation for serving in the role as a director.
If at any point we have an even number of directors, tie votes on issues are resolved in favor of the chairman’s vote.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years, no present director, executive officer or person nominated to become a director or an executive officer of MEG:
1.
had a petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he/she was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he/she was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing (except for Tim Williams who was an executive office of a private company that filed for bankruptcy under federal bankruptcy laws in 2008);
2.
was convicted in a criminal proceeding or subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other similar minor offenses);
3.
was subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him/her from or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any of the following activities:

5.
was found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and for which the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Concurrent with having sufficient independent members and resources, if ever, the MEG board of directors will establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. The audit committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The compensation committee will manage any stock option plan we may establish and review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers. No final determination has yet been made as to the size of memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees. See “Executive Compensation” hereinafter.
All directors will be reimbursed by MEG for any expenses incurred in attending board meetings provided that MEG has the resources to pay these fees. MEG will consider applying for officers and directors liability insurance at such time when it has the resources to do so.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The promoters of MEG are Kurt E. Neubauer, John Pepe and Tim Williams, our three executive officers.
The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to our president, Kurt E. Neubauer, concurrent with the formal incorporation process of MEG in Nevada in November 2013. The shares were valued at par value, or an aggregate of $1,000, as there is no verifiable market value for the shares due to a lack of trading activity.
In November 2013, MEG issued 18,750,000 shares of common stock to Kurt E. Neubauer, 18,750,000 shares of common stock to John Pepe and 4,001,800 shares of common stock to Tim Williams for services.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had accounts payable of $162,746 due to Kurt E. Neubauer . This amount principally relates to payments made by Mr. Neubauer on behalf of the Company in connection with the production of a movie that was being done jointly with a company affiliated with Mr. Neubauer. Most of the payments were made in 2011 and 2012. The movie was never released and all amounts related to it have been expensed.
The Company entered into consulting agreement in 2013 with John Pepe and Tim Williams who are currently officers and directors prior to either becoming an officer and director. The agreements were completed prior to either consultant becoming an officer or director. The caption, accrued expenses at December 31, 2013, includes $60,000 relating to these agreements.
The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with DWP. The senior executives of DWP have become members of the MEG board of directors.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Introduction
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in November 2013. MEG is authorized to issue 450,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board of directors. No shares of preferred stock have been designated, issued or are outstanding. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue up to authorized but unissued 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with voting, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any of these shares of preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
Among other rights, our board of directors may determine, without further vote or action by our stockholders:
·
the number of shares and the designation of the series;
·
whether to pay dividends on the series and, if so, the dividend rate, whether dividends will be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority of payment of dividends on shares of the series;
·
whether the series will have voting rights in addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of the voting rights;
·
whether the series will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or series of stock and, if so, the terms and conditions of conversion or exchange;
·
whether or not the shares of the series will be redeemable and, if so, the dates, terms and conditions of redemption and whether there will be a sinking fund for the redemption of that series and, if so, the terms and amount of the sinking fund; and
·
the rights of the shares of the series in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of shares of the series.
We presently do not have plans to issue any additional shares of preferred stock. However, preferred stock could be used to dilute a potential hostile acquirer. Accordingly, any future issuance of preferred stock or any rights to purchase preferred shares may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. This may delay, defer or prevent a change of control in our Company or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings attributable to, and assets available for distribution to, the holders of our common stock and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock.
Common Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 450,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001 per share. There are 48,595,450 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at March 6, 2014 that are held by 50 shareholders. Holders of our common stock:
·
have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available for payment of dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors;
·
are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
·
do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or access to any sinking fund; and
·
are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote at any meeting of stockholders
The rights of shareholders of Nevada corporations are described below. In addition, the Board of Directors, without a shareholder vote, has the right to amend our bylaws to make it harder or easier to effect a change in our control. A majority of shareholder votes are required for persons to become directors. In addition, shareholders may submit proposals to be voted on at annual meetings, but such items may be rejected by the Board of Directors.
See also Plan of Distribution regarding negative implications of being classified as a “Penny Stock.”
30
Authorized but Un-issued Capital Stock
Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of un-issued and unreserved common stock (and/or preferred stock) may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our board by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Shareholder Matters
As an issuer of "penny stock" the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us if our shares are considered to be penny stocks which they currently are and probably will be for the foreseeable future. Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us, including this prospectus, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to theNevada Revised Statutes ("NRS" or "Nevada law"). Certain provisions ofNevada law described below create rights that might be deemed material to our shareholders. Other provisions might delay or make more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control or might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management or might make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that some of our shareholders may believe to be in their best interests.
Directors' Duties. Section 78.138 of the Nevada law allows our directors and officers, in exercising their powers to further our interests, to consider the interests of our employees, suppliers, creditors and customers. They can also consider the economy of the state and the nation, the interests of the community and of society and our long-term and short-term interests and shareholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by our continued independence. Our directors may resist a change or potential change in control if they, by a majority vote of a quorum, determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in our best interest. Our board of directors may consider these interests or have reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time, any debt which might be created as a result of the change in control would cause our assets to be less than our liabilities, render us insolvent, or cause us to file for bankruptcy protection
Dissenters' Rights. Among the rights granted underNevada law which might be considered material is the right for shareholders to dissent from certain corporate actions and obtain payment for their shares (seeNevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") 92A.380-390). This right is subject to exceptions, summarized below, and arises in the event of mergers or plans of exchange. This right normally applies if shareholder approval of the corporate action is required either byNevada law or by the terms of the articles of incorporation.
A shareholder does not have the right to dissent with respect to any plan of merger or exchange, if the shares held by the shareholder are part of a class of shares which are:
·
listed on a national securities exchange,
·
included in the national market system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, or
·
held of record by not less than 2,000 holders.
This exception notwithstanding, a shareholder will still have a right of dissent if it is provided for in the articles of incorporation or if the shareholders are required under the plan of merger or exchange to accept anything but cash or owner's interests, or a combination of the two, in the surviving or acquiring entity, or in any other entity falling in any of the three categories described above in this paragraph.
Inspection Rights.Nevada law also specifies that shareholders are to have the right to inspect company records (see NRS 78.105). This right extends to any person who has been a shareholder of record for at least six months immediately preceding his demand. It also extends to any person holding, or authorized in writing by the holders of, at least 5% of outstanding shares. Shareholders having this right are to be granted inspection rights upon five days' written notice. The records covered by this right include official copies of:
i.
the articles of incorporation, and all amendments thereto,
ii.
bylaws and all amendments thereto; and
iii.
a stock ledger or a duplicate stock ledger, revised annually, containing the names, alphabetically arranged, of all persons who are stockholders of the corporation, showing their places of residence, if known, and the number of shares held by them, respectively.
31
In lieu of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, Nevada law provides that the corporation may keep a statement setting out the name of the custodian of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, and the present and complete post office address, including street and number, if any, where the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger specified in this section is kept.
Control Share Acquisitions. Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of Nevada law contain provisions that may prevent any person acquiring a controlling interest in a Nevada-registered company from exercising voting rights. To the extent that these rights support the voting power of minority shareholders, these rights may also be deemed material. These provisions will be applicable to us as soon as we have 200 shareholders of record with at least 100 of these having addresses in Nevada as reflected on our stock ledger. While we do not yet have the required number of shareholders in Nevada or elsewhere, it is possible that at some future point we will reach these numbers and, accordingly, these provisions will become applicable. We do not intend to notify shareholders when we have reached the number of shareholders specified under these provisions of Nevada law. Shareholders can learn this information pursuant to the inspection rights described above and can see the approximate number of our shareholders by checking under Item 5 of our annual reports on Form 10-K. This form is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days of the close of each fiscal year hereafter. You can view these and our other filings at www.sec.gov in the "EDGAR" database.
Under NRS Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, an acquiring person who acquires a controlling interest in company shares may not exercise voting rights on any of these shares unless these voting rights are granted by a majority vote of our disinterested shareholders at a special shareholders' meeting held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. If the acquiring person's shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any shareholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote for authorizing voting rights for the control shares, is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares, and we must comply with the demand. An "acquiring person" means any person who, individually or acting with others, acquires or offers to acquire, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in our shares. "Controlling interest" means the ownership of our outstanding voting shares sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or acting with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of the voting power of our shares in the election of our directors. Voting rights must be given by a majority of our disinterested shareholders as each threshold is reached or exceeded. "Control shares" means the company's outstanding voting shares that an acquiring person acquires or offers to acquire in an acquisition or within 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person becomes an acquiring person.
These Nevada statutes do not apply if a company's articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by an acquiring person provide that these provisions do not apply.
According to NRS 78.378, the provisions referred to above will not restrict our directors from taking action to protect the interests of our Company and its shareholders, including without limitation, adopting or executing plans, arrangements or instruments that deny rights, privileges, power or authority to a holder of a specified number of shares or percentage of share ownership or voting power. Likewise, these provisions do not prevent directors or shareholders from including stricter requirements in our articles of incorporation or bylaws relating to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed by NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, nor do they impose any more stringent requirements.
Certain Business Combinations. Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada law may restrict our ability to engage in a wide variety of transactions with an "interested shareholder." As was discussed above in connection with NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, these provisions could be considered material to our shareholders, particularly to minority shareholders. They might also have the effect of delaying or making more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control. These sections of NRS are applicable to any Nevada company with 200 or more stockholders of record and that has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, unless the company's articles of incorporation provide otherwise. With the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be required to file reports with the SEC under section 15(d) of the Securities Act. Accordingly, upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to these statutes when and if we have 200 shareholders as our Articles of Incorporation do not exempt us from them. We cannot predict the likelihood that we will ever meet the criteria of number of shareholders and being registered under Section 12 of 1934 Securities Exchange Act which would cause us to fall under these statutes or, if we do, what the timeframe will be.
32
These provisions of Nevada law prohibit us from engaging in any "combination" with an interested stockholder for three years after the interested stockholder acquired the shares that cause him to become an interested shareholder, unless he/she had prior approval of our board of directors. The term "combination" is described in NRS 78.416 and includes, among other things, mergers, sales or purchases of assets, and issuances or reclassifications of securities. If the combination did not have prior approval, the interested shareholder may proceed after the three-year period only if the shareholder receives approval from a majority of our disinterested shares or the offer meets the requirements for fairness that are specified in NRS 78.441-42. For the above provisions, "resident domestic corporation" means a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more shareholders. An "interested stockholder" is defined in NSR 78.423 as someone who is either:
·
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting shares; or
·
our affiliate or associate and who within three years immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares at that time.
Amendments to Bylaws -Our articles of incorporation provide that the power to adopt, alter, amend, or repeal our bylaws is vested exclusively with the board of directors. In exercising this discretion, our board of directors could conceivably alter our bylaws in ways that would affect the rights of our shareholders and the ability of any shareholder or group to effect a change in our control; however, the board would not have the right to do so in a way that would violate law or the applicable terms of our articles of incorporation.
Transfer Agent
The Transfer Agent for our common stock is Action Stock Transfer Company, 2469 E. Ft. Union Blvd., Suite 214, Salt Lake City, UT 84121. Its telephone number is 801-274-1088.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
There is no public market for our common stock. Therefore, the current and potential market for our common stock is limited and the liquidity of our shares may be severely limited. A market maker has filed an application with FINRA so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCBB maintained by FINRA commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the subsequent closing of this offering. There can be no assurance as to whether such market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA nor can we estimate the time period that will be required for the application process. In the absence of quotation or listing, no market is available for investors in our common stock to sell their shares. We cannot provide any assurance that a meaningful trading market will ever develop or that our common stock will ever be quoted or listed for trading.
If the shares of our common stock ever become tradable, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at or greater than the price at which they are being offered.
This offering will be conducted on a best-efforts basis utilizing the efforts of Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams, who will be considered to be a statutory underwriters under the Securities Act for purposes of this offering. Potential investors include, but are not limited to, family, friends and acquaintances of Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams . The intended methods of communication include, without limitation, telephone calls and personal contact. In his endeavors to sell this offering, Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams will not use any mass advertising methods such as the internet or print media.
Funds received by the sales agent in connection with sales of our securities will be transmitted immediately into an escrow account. There can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold.
Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams will not receive commissions for any sales originated on our behalf. We believe that Mr. Neubauer is exempt from registration as a broker under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In particular, Messrs. Neubauer, Pepe and Williams :
1.
Are not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)39 of the Act, at the time of his participation;
a.
Are not to be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;
b.
Are not an associated person of a broker or dealer; and
c.
Meet the conditions of the following:
33
i.
Primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities;
ii.
Was not a broker or dealer, or associated persons of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and
iii.
Did not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs within this section, except that for securities issued pursuant to rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, the 12 months shall begin with the last sale of any security included within a rule 415 registration
There can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold. As of this date, we have not entered into any agreements or arrangements for the sale of the shares with any broker/dealer or sales agent. However, if we were to enter into such arrangements, we will file a post-effective amendment to disclose those arrangements because any broker/dealer participating in the offering would be acting as an underwriter and would have to be so named herein. In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available and with which we have complied. The purchasers in this offering and in any subsequent trading market must be residents of such states where the shares have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available. As of this date, we have not identified the specific states where the offering will be sold.
The proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering will be payable to Frank J. Hariton, Attorney-at-Law, – Escrow Account. ("Escrow Account"). Failure to do so will result in checks being returned to the investor who submitted the check. No interest will be paid to any shareholder or the Company. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable. The Company reserves the right to begin using these proceeds as soon as the funds have been received or any time thereafter and will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering.
Investors can purchase common stock in this offering by completing a Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and sending it together with payment in full. All payments must be made in United States currency either by personal check, bank draft, or cashier check. There is no minimum subscription requirement. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable. The Company expressly reserves the right to either accept or reject any subscription. Any subscription rejected will be returned to the subscriber within five business days of the rejection date. Furthermore, once a subscription agreement is accepted, it will be executed without reconfirmation to or from the subscriber. Once we accept a subscription, the subscriber cannot withdraw it.
Any purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our common stock will be subject to “penny stock” restrictions.
We will pay all expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have 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.
Any purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock will be subject to the penny stock restrictions.
The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter markets which are commonly referred to as the OTCBB as maintained by FINRA (once and if and when quoting thereon has occurred). As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our securities.
OTCBB Considerations
OTCBB securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTCBB securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTCBB stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
To be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. We are not permitted to file such application on our own behalf. A market maker has filed an application with FINRA on our behalf so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCBB maintained by FINRA commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. There can be no assurance that the market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA, nor can we estimate as to the time period that the application will require.
34
The OTCBB is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTCBB. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTCBB.
Although the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the OTCBB has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company assuming all FINRA questions relating to its Rule 211 process are answered accurately and satisfactorily. The only requirement for ongoing inclusion in the OTCBB is that the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.
Although we anticipate that quotation on the OTCBB will increase liquidity for our stock, investors may have difficulty in getting orders filled because trading activity on the OTCBB in general is not conducted as efficiently and effectively as with NASDAQ-listed securities. As a result, investors’ orders may be filled at a price much different than expected when an order is placed.
Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTCBB securities. Investors do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board securities, there only has to be one market maker.
OTCBB transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the OTCBB, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders - an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price - it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting execution.
If we become able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCBB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the DTC to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all the companies on the OTCBB). What this boils down to is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
Because OTCBB stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act
Our shares will be covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses).
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules (but is not applicable to us).
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approved the transaction for the customer's account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.
35
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker/dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that 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, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.
Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. Since our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers, many broker/dealers may not want to make a market in our shares or conduct any transactions in our shares. As such, your ability to dispose of your shares may be adversely affected.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
·
the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, which is likely, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.
State Securities – Blue Sky Laws
There is no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as "Blue Sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.
We will consider applying for listing in Mergent, Inc., a leading provider of business and financial information on publicly listed companies, which, once published, will provide MEG with “manual” exemptions in approximately 33 states as indicated in CCH Blue Sky Law Desk Reference at Section 6301 entitled “Standard Manuals Exemptions.”
36
Thirty-three states have what is commonly referred to as a "manual exemption" for secondary trading of securities such as those to be resold by selling stockholders under this registration statement. In these states, so long as we obtain and maintain a listing in Mergent, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporate Manual, secondary trading of our common stock can occur without any filing, review or approval by state regulatory authorities in these states. These states are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming. We cannot secure this listing, and thus this qualification, until after our registration statement is declared effective. Once we secure this listing (assuming that being a development stage and shell company is not a bar to such listing), secondary trading can occur in these states without further action.
At some point in the future following the effectiveness of this Prospectus, the Company may consider becoming a “reporting issuer” under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, as amended, by way of filing a Form 8-A with the SEC. However, there are no plans of doing so in the foreseeable future. A Form 8-A is a “short form” of registration whereby information about the Company will be incorporated by reference to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus is a part. Upon filing of the Form 8-A, if done, the Company’s shares of common stock will become “covered securities,” or “federally covered securities” as described in some states’ laws, which means that unless you are an “underwriter” or “dealer,” you will have a “secondary trading” exemption under the laws of most states (and the District of Columbia, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico) to resell the shares of common stock you purchase in this offering. However, four states do impose filing requirements on the Company: Michigan, New Hampshire, Texas and Vermont. The Company intends, at its own cost, to make the required notice filings in Michigan, New Hampshire, Texas and Vermont immediately after filings its Form 8-A with the SEC.
We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in other states which require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders.
Limitations Imposed by Regulation M
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Frank J. Hariton, Attorney-at-Law, 1065 Dobbs Ferry Road, White Plains, NY 10607.

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc.
Sugar Land, TX
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MOMENTOUS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded by Kurt E. Neubauer as Financial Equity Partners, Inc., a Texas company, in 2004 and was incorporated as a C corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada as Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. in November 2013. It had very limited activities until June 2011 when it started designing a detailed business plan focused on creating, producing and distributing quality entertainment content across various media channels utilizing direct response media marketing.
The transaction in which the Company became an incorporated entity in the State of Nevada has been accounted for in a manner similar to a recapitalization for financial accounting purposes. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as if the transaction had occurred on the first day of the first period (January 1, 2012) included in the financial statements, and all operating data represents an ongoing continuation of the Company’s operations.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a calendar year end.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at cost using the first-in, first-out cost flow assumption. All inventory consists of finished products ready for sale.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company will follow Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718-10,Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45. Basic and diluted net income per common share has been calculated by dividing the net income for the period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. There were no dilutive shares outstanding as of December 31, 2013.
F-7
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740—Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company provides for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company follows section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASC 605-10-S99-1 for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 855-10-50 for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company evaluates subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet through the date when the financial statements are issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them with the SEC on the EDGAR system.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
The Company is an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has very limited financial resources, with working capital and net shareholder deficits and had generated limited revenue at December 31, 2013.
While the Company is undertaking its business plan to generate additional revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s basic business plan and product development efforts. Management believes that the actions presently underway to increase the number of contracts undertaken have a realistic chance of succeeding. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations or obtain adequate financing.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – SHARE CAPITAL
The Company is authorized to issue 450,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. At the time of incorporation in Nevada, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to its President in exchange for the business of Financial Equity Partners, Inc. The shares were valued at par value as there is no verifiable market value for the shares due to a lack of trading activity.
In December 2013 the Company issued 47,595,450 shares of common stock for services, including 41,501,800 shares to the Company’s principal executive officers and 1,507,500 to outside directors. All shares were valued at par since they have a negative book value, and there is no trading market.
At December 31, 2013, there were 48,595,450 shares of common stock outstanding.
NOTE 5 – LOANS
The Company has two demand loan payables outstanding in the principal amounts of $15,000 and $10,000, respectively. Both lenders are not affiliated to the Company. The loan with the balance of $10,000 is convertible at the holder’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $.25 per share. The notes are non-interest bearing and unsecured.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
Momentous operates in the United States; accordingly, federal and state income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates of the U.S. The Company has incurred losses since inception and, accordingly has a net operating loss carry forward as of December 31, 2013 of approximately $272,000. This loss carry forward expires according to the following schedule:
Year Ending December 31, |
| Amount |
2032 | $ | 65,000 |
2033 |
| 207,000 |
Total | $ | 272,000 |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the federal income tax rate to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, due to the following:
Description |
| 2013 |
| 2012 |
Tax provision at expected tax rate | $ | (70,105) | $ | (22,668) |
Application of valuation allowance |
| 70,105 |
| 22,668 |
Income tax provision | $ | - | $ | - |
Deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are comprised of net operating loss carry forwards. The amounts for tax purposes could vary from those disclosed above as the Company has not addressed the differences in valuation of share based compensation for tax purposes.
Tax years 2009-2013, remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.
NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At December 31, 2013, the Company had accounts payable of $162,746 due to its President. This amount principally relates to payments made by the Company’s President on behalf of the Company in connection with the production of a movie that was being done jointly with a company affiliated with the Company’s president. Most of the payments were made in 2011 and 2012. The movie was never released and all amounts related to it have been expensed.
The Company entered into consulting agreement in 2013 with two current officers and directors prior to either becoming an officer and director. Accrued expenses at December 31, 2013 includes $60,000 relating to these agreements.
The Company entered into a joint venture with Dixie Worldwide Productions, Inc. (“DWP”) which is a producer, developer, marketer and distributor of film, video news releases, commercials, infomercials and sellers of consumer products through Direct Response Television. Following the execution of the agreement several executives of DWP became members of the Company’s Board of Directors and were issued an aggregate of 1,507,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.

ITEM 14
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company has a provision in its Certificate of Incorporation at Article VII thereof providing for indemnification of its officers and directors as follows.
Our Articles of Incorporation at Article XI provide for indemnification as follows: "No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer: (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any repeal or modification of an Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation of the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification."
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 15

ITEM 17
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1.
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i.
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii.
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
iii.
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
2.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4.
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
i.
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
II-2
5.
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i.
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii.
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii.
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv.
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(h)
Request for Acceleration of Effective Date or Filing of Registration Statement Becoming Effective Upon Filing.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
