DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES AND WITHDRAWAL OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT Pinoak, Inc., a Nevada corporation, filed an Amendment No. 9 to Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-76242) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2002. The Amendment No. 9 was declared effective on April 25, 2002. Pinoak then commenced an offering of its common stock pursuant to the Amendment No. 9 and Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pinoak sold 2,399,334 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a purchase price of $0.025 per share in the offering. In accordance with Rule 419(b)(2)(i) and 419(b)(3), Pinoak placed $59,983.35 into an insured escrow account and the shares of Common Stock were also placed into the escrow account. Pinoak did not engage in any commercial or other business activities which generated cash flow after the offering. Pinoak is a "blank check" company which was formed with the intent of utilizing cash (derived from the proceeds of the offering), equity, debt or a combination thereof to effect a business combination with another entity with active business operations. Pinoak recently determined that it would be unable to consummate a business combination within the 18 month time period from the date of the effectiveness of its Registration Statement, as established by Rule 419(e)(2)(iv). As such, the funds in the escrow account were returned to the investors who purchased Common Stock in the offering. The shares of Common Stock in the escrow account were returned to Pinoak. In connection with these activities, Pinoak hereby files this post-effective amendment to remove from registration all of its shares of Common Stock that were sold in the offering and to confirm its withdrawal of the Registration Statement. SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements of filing on Form SB-2 and authorized the registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Mesa, Arizona, on October 31, 2003.
