Risk Factors Dashboard
Once a year, publicly traded companies issue a comprehensive report of their business, called a 10-K. A component mandated in the 10-K is the ‘Risk Factors’ section, where companies disclose any major potential risks that they may face. This dashboard highlights all major changes and additions in new 10K reports, allowing investors to quickly identify new potential risks and opportunities.

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have limited operating business, and our shareholders will not know what future business we will enter into until we effectuate a transaction.
As we have a limited operating history and revenue and only minimal assets, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and consummate a business combination.
We have no significant assets or financial resources.
We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without adequate corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. There can be no assurances that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination. Our independent auditor has issued a going concern opinion.
Management May Be Entrenched and may increase the risks of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change of control.
Because it may be difficult to effect a change in control of the Company without current management consent, management may be entrenched even though stockholders may believe other management may be better and a potential suitor who may be willing to pay a premium to acquire us may not attempt to do so.
Such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company and entrenching current management even though stockholders may believe other management may be better. Potential suitors who otherwise might be willing to pay a premium to acquire us may decide not to acquire us because it may be difficult to effect a change in control of us without current management’s consent. Mr. Kistler has the ability to control the outcome on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors; any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets; and the ability to control our management.
We Are Dependent on The Services of a Certain Key Employee. The Loss of His Services Could Harm Our Business.
Our success largely depends on the continuing services of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman John Vivian. We believe that Mr. Vivian possesses valuable knowledge, experience and leadership abilities that would be difficult in the short term to replicate. Kistler possess valuable knowledge, experience and leadership abilities that would be difficult in the short term to replicate. The loss of him as a key employee could harm our operations, business plans and cash flows.
Shareholder approval will likely not be obtained for any acquisition or business combination and that if it is obtained that, “may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders.”
Because of the voting control of John Vivian, our CEO, shareholder approval will likely not be obtained for any acquisition or business combination and that if it is obtained that, “may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders”, due to the cost and time of soliciting the approval of all shareholders. As a result, the decision for a merger or acquisition lies solely upon the judgement of our CEO.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.
Target companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirement may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise, suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
We may be subject to further government regulation which would adversely affect our operations.
Although we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, management believes we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Investment Company Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.
Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.
If we enter into a business combination with a foreign company, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.
There is currently a limited and sporadic trading market for our common stock, and liquidity of shares of our common stock is limited.
Our shares of common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter market for our common stock. Further, no increased public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until the Company completes a business combination with an operating business and the Company thereafter files a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Therefore, outstanding shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.
Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
There are issues impacting liquidity of our securities with respect to the fact that we will need to file a resale registration statement to create liquidity in our common stock.
Since our shares of common stock issued prior to a business combination or reverse merger cannot currently, nor will they for a considerable period of time after we complete a business combination, be available to be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred without being registered pursuant to the Securities Act, we will likely file a resale registration statement on Form S-1, or some other available form, to register for resale such shares of common stock. We cannot control this future registration process in all respects as some matters are outside our control. Even if we are successful in causing the effectiveness of the resale registration statement, there can be no assurances that the occurrence of subsequent events may not preclude our ability to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. There may be resale restrictions imposed by rule 144(i) for one year following the company no longer being considered a shell company. Any of the foregoing items could have adverse effects on the liquidity of our shares of common stock.
There are issues impacting liquidity of our securities with respect to the fact that it carries this warning on OTC Markets
Warning! This security is eligible for Unsolicited Quotes Only
This stock is not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations. All quotes in this stock reflect unsolicited customer orders. Unsolicited-Only stocks have a higher risk of wider spreads, increased volatility, and price dislocations. Investors may have difficulty selling this stock. An initial review by a broker-dealer under SEC Rule15c2-11 is required for brokers to publish competing quotes and provide continuous market making.
The Company has applied with FINRA to have the 15c211 reactivated
The is no assurance that FINRA will approve the 15c211 reactivated.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and if we do not pay dividends in the future then our shareholders can only benefit from their shares by selling such stock either in the public marketplace or in a private transaction.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into us to further our business strategy.
We may be subject to certain tax consequences in our business, which may increase the cost of doing business.
We may not be able to structure our acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with us or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction. Currently, a transaction may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target entity; however, we cannot guarantee that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.
Our business will have no meaningful increase of revenue unless and until we merge with or acquire an operating business.
We are a development stage company and have had limited revenue from operations. We may not realize any revenue increases unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.
We intend to issue more shares in a merger or acquisition, which will result in substantial dilution.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 500,000,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interested of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected.
Our principal stockholders may engage in a transaction to cause us to repurchase their shares of common stock.
In order to provide an interest in us to a third party, our stockholders may choose to cause us to sell our securities to one or more third parties, with the proceeds of such sale(s) being utilized by us to repurchase shares common stock held by them. As a result of such transaction(s), our management, principal stockholder(s) and Board of Directors may change.
We anticipate that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky.
Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will have and/or perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation.
Our business focus has changed four times since inception in 2005 and Management has limited experience.
At inception the Company was formed to serve the mortgage industry, however as a result of the failure of the mortgage industry the Company focus was amended to focus on the energy markets which was not successful. The Company then focused on marketing an asphalt shingle recycling technology which ultimately was also unsuccessful. Since 2017 the Company has been solely focused on the business consulting of our CEO. Since 2017 the Company was solely focused on the business consulting of our CEO. He has had limited participation in mergers/acquisitions of private companies into public companies, therefore he may not be successful finding a business combination.
We have conducted no market research or identification of business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with or acquire.
We have not conducted market research concerning prospective business opportunities, nor have others made the results of such market research available to us. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our management has not identified any specific business combination or other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be expected that any such target business or transaction will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our stockholders.
Our shares may be subject to the “penny stock” rules, following such a reverse merger transaction which might subject you to restrictions on marketability and may not be able to sell your shares.
The common stock is quoted and tradable on the Over-the- Counter Pink Sheets, we are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Additional risks may exist since we will assist a privately held business to become public through the “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our post-merger company in the future. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market for our common stock will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock and you may be unable to sell your common stock, or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price. Your investment could be a partial or complete loss.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system.) Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price of liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
We cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business, our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange and therefore it is possible that our stockholders will not be able to liquidate their investment in our stock and we may not access to capital available to companies trading on these exchanges.
Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange. After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such a rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.
Our authorization of blank-check preferred stock could be used to discourage a takeover transaction involving an actual or potential change in control of us or our management.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.
Lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk.
Our management anticipates that it will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is like to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another. This lack of diversification should be considered to a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
