Most acquisitions of private operating companies by public shell companies are completed by way of merger pursuant to which the shareholders of the private company own a substantial majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the public company after completion of the merger. These transactions are often referred to as “reverse acquisitions” or “reverse mergers” and generally result in substantial additional dilution to the ownership interests of the stockholders of the public company. If any transaction is structured in this manner, our stockholders will suffer substantial dilution and all or a majority of our directors may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders. We may complete such an acquisition upon the sole determination of our board of directors without any vote or approval by our stockholders. In certain circumstances, however, it may be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain approval of our stockholders, which may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and may also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, we will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.
Our sole business objective is to acquire an operating company. As of the date of this report, we have identified and evaluated potential acquisition targets, engaged in discussions and due diligence activities regarding the acquisition of an operating company, and entered into an agreement to acquire an operating company which was subsequently terminated. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify a suitable operating company to acquire or complete such an acquisition. In the event that we complete such an acquisition, we expect that we will need to raise substantial additional capital. We intend to rely on external sources of financing to meet any capital requirements and to obtain such funding through the debt and equity markets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is required or that it will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we fail to obtain such necessary funding, any such acquisition may not be successful.
Our current business plan consists solely of identifying and acquiring a suitable operating company and compliance with our reporting obligations under federal securities laws. On August 31, 2012, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with click2cause.com Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation (“C2C”) and C2C Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, C2C was to merge with and into Acquisition Sub and thereafter become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On December 10, 2012, the Company notified C2C that it was terminating the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e) of the Merger Agreement as the closing had not occurred on or prior to October 15, 2012. As of the date of this report, our current focus is on the crowdfunding industry, however, we are not restricting our search for a target company to any specific business, industry or geographical location.
We anticipate that the selection of a business combination will be complex and subject to substantial risk. Based on general economic conditions, technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, we believe that there are numerous firms seeking access to the capital markets and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to incentivize key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary; (3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8 the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, in which the parent’s power to control exists.
