Prospectus
Patio
Bahia, Inc.
285,000
Shares of Common Stock
This
prospectus covers the resale of an aggregate of 285,000 outstanding shares of
our common stock being offered by certain selling security holders. We will not
receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares made by the selling security
holders.
There is
currently no market for our common stock and we do not know if an active trading
market will develop. We intend to take customary measures to arrange for an
application to be made with respect to our common stock to be approved for
quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. There are no
assurances that our common stock will be approved for quotation on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or that, if approved, any meaningful market for
our common stock will ever develop. The selling security holders will
offer and sell their shares of common stock, if they choose to offer and sell
their shares, covered by this Prospectus at a fixed price of $0.25 per share
which price was determined by us based in part on the original price of $.20 per
share paid by the selling security holders who purchased the shares in our
private placement of December 2007 to January 2008 and in part that
following the date of this prospectus the shares will be registered and not
restricted for resale. However, if our shares become quoted on
the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, sales will be made at prevailing market
prices or privately negotiated prices.

Our
Company
We are a
development stage company that will specialize in the sale of distinctive
outdoor furniture destined for the high-end and sophisticated sector of the
market. Our business model is to import fashionable, custom designed,
high quality patio and yacht outdoor furniture, handmade to our design
specifications and manufactured from Brazilian hardwoods, and market our
collection to interior designers, yacht brokers and retail distributors as well
as eventually to the end consumer by way of our website at
www.patiobahia.com.
We are a
development stage company and have generated only nominal revenues
(approximately $38,000) since inception through December 31, 2005 and have
generated no revenues in 2006 through 2009. We have reported a net
loss of $360,097 from inception and used cash in operations from inception of
$71,330. In addition, there is a working capital deficiency and stockholders’
deficiency of $281,890 as of December 31, 2009. As a result of our
net losses, our auditors, in their audit report, which covers the period through
December 31, 2009, have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and
implement its business plan.

incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida on November 25, 2002. Our

CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
express our expectations or predictions of future events or results. They are
not guarantees and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. There are a
number of factors - many beyond our control - that could cause actual events or
results to be significantly different from those described in the
forward-looking statement. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this
registration statement or in any other public statements we make may turn out to
be wrong.
We
caution that these statements are further qualified by important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the
following:
|
·
|
our
failure to achieve significant
revenues;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to procure additional
funding;
|
|
·
|
an
adverse change in foreign currency exchange
rates;
|
|
·
|
our
dependence on our key executives;
|
|
·
|
volatility
in the market, if a market ever develops, for shares of our common
stock;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to pay dividends on common stock under Florida law;
and
|
|
·
|
the
effect of economic conditions
generally.
|
Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” or words of similar meaning.
They may also use words such as, “would,” “should,” “could” or “may”. Factors
that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in
forward-looking statements include the risks discussed elsewhere in this
prospectus under the caption “Risk Factors”.
4
An
investment in our common stock is highly speculative. You should be aware you
could lose the entire amount of your investment. Prior to making an investment
decision, you should carefully read this entire prospectus and documents
incorporated by reference into this prospectus and consider the following risk
factors. If the events described in these risks occur, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus
contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. This section discusses the business risk factors
that might cause those differences.
Risks
Related to Our Financial Condition and Business
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
WITH LIMITED REVENUES AND A HISTORY OF LOSSES. WE MAY NEVER GENERATE ANY SIGNIFICANT
REVENUES OR PROFIT AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL
FAIL.
We are a development stage company with
a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of management's performance
and our future prospects can be made. We have never generated any
meaningful sales and our officers have been serving without
compensation. We incurred a net loss of $360,097 from inception
(November 2002) through December 31, 2009 and anticipate our losses to continue
into fiscal 2010. At December 31, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit
since inception of $360,097. For the year ended December 31, 2009 we
did not generate any revenues, and incurred operating losses of
$112,604. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until such
time, if ever, as we generate significant sales of our products. There can be no
assurances whatsoever that we will be able to successfully implement our
business model, penetrate our target markets, develop brand recognition,
successfully establish a distribution medium for our products, generate any
significant revenues, attain profitability or positive cash flow from operating
activities. In addition, following the date of this prospectus we will
become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 with respect to quarterly, annual and other reports to be filed with the
SEC. These reporting obligations will require us to spend significant
amounts on audit and other professional fees. In addition, our management has no
experience in operating a business such as ours. Because of our
limited capital resources we may be unable to meet our working capital
requirements which would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. We are subject to all the risks
inherent in a start-up enterprise. Our prospects must be considered
in light of the numerous risks, expenses, delays, problems and difficulties
frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business.
OUR
AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS GOING CONCERN.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ENTIRE
INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY.
We have
generated only minimal revenues since inception, no revenues since fiscal 2005,
and have incurred net losses of $360,097 since inception in November 2002
through December 31, 2009. Our current operations are not an adequate
source of cash to fund our current operations. Since inception we have
relied on funds from loans from our principals as well as funds raised from the
sale of our securities to provide sufficient cash to operate our business. The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 contains an
explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based
upon our net losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our
obligations and to generate profitable operations in the future.
We
believe our current cash in the amount of approximately $13,000 is sufficient to
fund our operations through the first quarter of 2010, and we will be dependent
on raising additional capital to provide for our capital requirements through
the sale of equity securities and/or debt financing. However, we have no
firm commitments from any third party to provide this financing and we cannot
assure you we will be successful in raising working capital as needed.
There are no assurances that we will have sufficient funds to execute our
business plan, pay our operating expenses and obligations as they become due or
generate positive operating results. If we are unable to generate revenues
and profits in sufficient amounts to fund our operating expenses, and if we are
unable to obtain additional capital as needed, it is possible that we would be
required to curtail some or all of our planned operations, in which event you
could lose your entire investment in our company.
5
WE
WILL NEED SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON
ACCEPTABLE TERMS. ADDITIONAL CAPITAL RAISING EFFORTS IN FUTURE
PERIODS MAY BE DILUTIVE TO OUR THEN CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS OR RESULT IN INCREASED
INTEREST EXPENSE IN FUTURE PERIODS.
We will
need to raise additional working capital to continue to implement our business
model. Our future capital requirements, however, depend on a number
of factors, including our operations, our ability to generate revenues, our
ability to manage the growth of our business and our ability to control our
expenses. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of
debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise
additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities,
the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be
reduced and those shareholders may experience significant
dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights,
preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common
stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working
capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at
all. If we do not raise funds as needed, we will be unable to fully
implement our business model, fund our ongoing operations or grow our
company.
OUR
PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT DESIGNS MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED IN THE MARKET PLACE WHICH WOULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS AND EVER GENERATE SIGNIFICANT
REVENUES OR EARNINGS.
To date
we have made limited sales of our products, primarily to interior
designers. We cannot guarantee our products and product designs will
be well received by our target markets, that any demand for our products will
develop or that we will ever effectively compete in our market segment. If we
are unable to generate any significant revenues from our products we may not be
able to continue our business as presently operated.
WE
MAY FACE UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF OUR PRODUCTS IN BRAZIL
WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SERVICE CUSTOMERS, WHICH COULD LOWER
FUTURE SALES AND POTENTIAL EARNINGS.
We are
subject to risks of defects and manufacturing delays. To date, we
have only ordered a limited number of pieces of furniture from our principal
manufacturer to be used as "floor samples" and have only sold a limited number
of pieces as a "market test". In this small quantity of furniture
delivered to us there have been no defects or delays in the manufacturing
process. However, as we develop a market for our products and place
larger orders, the likelihood that we encounter defects and manufacturing delays
will increase. Any such quality control defects or delays will
adversely impact our ability to favorably develop our brand and to generate
revenues in future periods.
WE
DO NOT HAVE CONTRACTS WITH OUR MANUFACTURERS AND THE PRICES WE PAY FOR OUR
PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE TO US.
We do not have a contract or other
written agreement with our manufacturers which set forth the terms of sale,
quality control procedures, product warranty or other terms of our
purchase. To date, the price we have paid the manufacturer for our
products has been subject to fluctuations based upon prevailing raw material and
labor costs and has therefore been quoted on an order by order
basis. In addition, our principal manufacturer has required us to
payment in Brazilian Reals. If we are to successfully develop
distribution of our furniture collection, we will need to conform to industry
practices and establish fixed retail prices. We have engaged in
preliminary discussions with our principal manufacturer whereby it produce
products for us based upon fixed prices, subject to annually increase, payable
in U.S. Dollars. Our ability to induce the manufacturer to enter into
such an arrangement is predicated in part on our ability to place regular
product orders. As a result of the fluctuating currency, as well as
price fluctuations in wood and labor, until such time as we are able to
negotiate a yearly fixed price purchasing arrangement in U.S. dollars, we may
experience certain difficulties in fixing our retail prices which could
adversely impact our ability to sell our products and fund our operating
expenses which will increase our losses in future periods.
WE
FACE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION FROM NUMEROUS SOURCES, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHICH
HAVE ACCESS TO GREATER RESOURCE, WHICH COULD PREVENT US
FROM GENERATING ANY REVENUE OR FROM EVER ACHIEVING PROFITABILITY.
The
general outdoor furniture industry is well established with several dominant
leaders; however the specialty, upscale outdoor furniture market for patios and
yachts, suitable for sales of our products, is at an early stage of development,
is evolving rapidly, and is characterized by an increasing number of market
entrants who have introduced, or are developing similar or competing
products. As is typical of a new and rapidly evolving industry, the
demand and market acceptance for recently introduced outdoor furniture products
is subject to a certain level of consumer trends which are reflected in the
market acceptance of the finished product. We compete with a diverse group of
wholesalers ranging from internet businesses to traditional brick-and-mortar
companies, most of which have greater resources than our company and brand name
recognition. There are a number of companies which import furniture from Brazil,
as well as a number of companies which sell up market furniture designed for the
outdoors and yachts. We believe that barriers to entry in the home
furnishing market are not significant and start-up costs are relatively low, so
our competition will continue to increase in the future. Our belief that there
are minimal barriers to entry is based on our observation that operations such
as ours do not require the wholesalers to own warehouses, showrooms and
factories to operate, which we think is because
6
|
•
|
our
business model can be operated with minimal warehousing needs and costs,
which are significantly less than traditional
models,
|
|
•
|
wholesale
product orders can be placed after receipt of customer orders, in order to
further reduce warehousing needs,
|
|
•
|
samples
can be shown to customers at little or no cost, without the necessity of
showroom space for actual product,
and
|
|
•
|
all
manufacturing can be done by third party suppliers in Brazil which has
historically lower labor costs, so there is no need to own or lease a
manufacturing facility.
|
New
competitors may be able to launch new businesses similar to ours, and replicate
our business model, at a relatively low cost. In addition, factors
such as inflation and the value of the U.S. Dollar may also adversely affect our
ability to compete and we may not have the resources to compete effectively with
current or future competitors. If we are unable to effectively compete, we will
be unable to establish our brand and generate any meaningful sales in which
event we could be forced to cease operations.
AN
ECONOMIC DOWNTURN COULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN SALES.
The
furniture industry is subject to cyclical variations in the general economy and
to uncertainty regarding future economic prospects. Economic downturns could
affect consumer spending habits by decreasing the overall demand for outdoor or
yacht furnishings, possibly resulting in a decrease in the Company’s sales.
Changes in interest rates, consumer confidence, new housing starts, existing
home sales, and geopolitical factors are particularly significant economic
indicators for our company.
BECAUSE
WE DO NOT MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS IN THE UNITED STATES, A DISRUPTION IN THE
DELIVERY OF IMPORTED PRODUCTS MAY HAVE A GREATER EFFECT ON US THAN ON OUR
COMPETITORS, WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE CUSTOMERS.
Because
our products are made from specific types of Brazilian hardwoods and we import
all of our products from Brazil, we believe that disruptions in shipping
deliveries may have a greater effect on us than on competitors who manufacture
and warehouse products in the United States. Deliveries of our
products may be disrupted through factors such as:
•
|
raw
material and labor shortages;
|
|
•
|
problems
with ocean shipping, including work stoppages and shipping container
shortages;
|
|
•
|
increased
inspections of import shipments or other factors causing delays in
shipments; and
|
•
|
economic
crises, international disputes and
wars.
|
Most of
our competitors warehouse products they import from overseas, which allows them
to continue delivering their products for the near term, despite overseas
shipping disruptions. If our competitors are able to deliver products
when we cannot, our ability to develop a positive reputation may be damaged and
we may lose customers to our competitors.
WE
MAY NEED TO SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE OUR MARKETING EFFORTS IN ORDER TO COMMENCE
ANY SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE AND CURRENTLY WE DO NOT HAVE
SUFFICIENT FUNDS.
In order
to grow our business, we will need to develop and maintain widespread
recognition and acceptance of Patio Bahia, our business model, and our
products. Currently, we rely primarily on word of mouth and contacts
we develop personally through industry events to promote and market our
products. In order to successfully grow our company we will need to
significantly increase our financial commitment to creating awareness and
acceptance of our products among interior designers and retailers, which would
be expensive. We do not have sufficient capital to fund a larger marketing
budget. This lack of sufficient capital may impede our ability to
effectively market and promote our business and our growth efforts may be
ineffective.
7
WE
ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT UPON THE EFFORTS OF OUR TWO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, WHOM
DEVOTE 80% OF THEIR TIME AND ATTENTION TO OUR BUSINESS.
We do not
have any employees and are dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers
who devote only 80% of their time and attention to our business and
operations. We do not have key man insurance on any of these individuals.
As our business grows, we will either seek to increase the amount of time
our two officers devote to our company or hire additional full-time officers.
Our success is materially dependent upon our officer’s efforts. If we
should lose the services of one of these individuals or if they should fail to
devote sufficient time to our business, our ability to implement our business
plan would be in jeopardy which could have a material adverse impacted upon our
business, financial condition, and results of our operations in future
periods.
THE LACK OF PUBLIC COMPANY EXPERIENCE
OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM, COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO
COMPLY WITH THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.
Our management team lacks
public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal
and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The two individuals who now constitute our senior management have never had
responsibility for managing a publicly traded company. Such responsibilities
include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures
on a timely basis. Our senior management may not be able to implement programs
and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such
increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including the
establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. Any
such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially
adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which is necessary to maintain our public
company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to
continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could
loose your entire investment in our company.
WE
WILL INCUR ADDITIONAL LEGAL AND ACCOUNTING FEES AND OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY AND MAY NOT HAVE CASH FROM OPERATIONS SUFFICENT TO PAY
THESE FEES IN FUTURE PERIODS WHICH MAY EFFECT OUR ABILITY TO REMAIN PUBLICLY
REPORTING AND ADVERSELY IMPACT AN INVESTOR’S ABILITY TO SELL OUR
SECURITIES.
As a
public company we incur added legal, accounting and other fees related to
compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that we did not incur as a privately held company. In 2009 our
expenses were approximately $112,604 and we anticipate that they will increase
in 2010 and beyond as we comply with the reporting requirements and with Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 related to an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. While we are
unable at this time to quantify the amount these fees will increase in future
periods, these additional fees will increase our general and administrative
expenses and make it more difficult for us to report income from operations in
future periods. There are no assurances our cash flows from
operations in future periods will be sufficient to pay these costs and any
failure by us to maintain our reporting status as a public company would
adversely impact an investors ability to sell our securities in the future,
assuming a market for our stock is established of which there is no
assurance.

ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST
INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR
MATTERS.
Recent
Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in
the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the
integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these
measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been
adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities
exchanges, such as the NYSE or The Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their
securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required
under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of
directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code
of ethics. Although we have adopted a Code of Ethics, we have not yet adopted
any of these other corporate governance measures and, since our securities are
not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so.
We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other
independent committees of our board of directors as we presently do not have any
independent directors. If we expand our board membership in future periods to
include additional independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit and
other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if we were to
adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would
benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were
being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to
define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and
compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent
directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our
officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of
directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided.
Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate
governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

BECAUSE
THERE IS NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, YOU MAY FIND IT EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO RESELL OUR SHARES. EVEN IF A PUBLIC MARKET IS
ESTABLISHED, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE YOU THAT THERE WILL EVER BE ANY LIQUIDITY IN
OUR COMMON STOCK.
There is
no public market for our common stock, and although we intend to seek quotation
of our common stock in the over-the-counter market, there can be no assurance
that a public market will ever be established. Purchasers of our shares of
common stock will face significant obstacles if they wish to resell the shares.
Absent a public market for our common stock, an investment in our shares
should be considered illiquid. Even if a public market is established, it
is unlikely a liquid market will develop. Because of our small size and lack of
operating history, the investment community may show little or no interest in
our securities and investors may not be readily able to liquidate their
investment, if at all. Investors seeking liquidity in a security should not
purchase our shares of common stock.
IF
WE EVER ESTABLISH A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, THE TRADABILITY IN OUR
COMMON STOCK WILL BE LIMITED UNDER THE PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS WHICH MAY CAUSE
THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK DIFFICULTY SHOULD THEY WISH TO SELL THE
SHARES.
If our
common stock is ever included for quotation in the over the counter market, it
is likely that the trading price of our common stock will be less than $5.00 per
share. In this event, our common stock will be considered a "penny stock",
and trading in our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule
15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule,
broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales
practice requirements. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in
connection with any trades involving a "penny stock", including the delivery,
prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the
penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements will
severely limit the liquidity of our securities in the secondary market because
few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance
activities.
SHOULD
A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK BE ESTABLISHED, IF THE SELLING SECURITY
HOLDERS ALL ELECT TO SELL THEIR SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AT THE SAME TIME, THE
MARKET PRICE OF OUR SHARES MAY DECREASE.
If we
ever establish a trading market for our common stock, it is possible that the
selling security holders will offer all of the shares for sale. Further
because it is possible that a significant number of shares of our common stock
could be sold at the same time hereunder, the sales, or the possibility thereof,
may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock assuming
that a market has developed of which there are no assurances.
The
following table sets forth our capitalization as of December 31, 2009. The
table should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related

We will
not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling security
holders.
There is
currently no public market for our common stock. As of the date of this
prospectus, we had approximately 38 stockholders of record.
Dividends
We have
never paid any dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any
cash dividends in the foreseeable future because:
|
·
|
applicable
provisions of Florida law described below limit our ability to pay
dividends if we do not have net
income;
|
|
·
|
we
have experienced losses since
inception;
|
|
·
|
we
have significant capital requirements in the future;
and
|
|
·
|
we
presently intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of
our business.
|
Future
dividend policy will depend on:
|
·
|
our
earnings, if any;
|
|
·
|
applicable
provisions of Florida law described below governing the payment of
dividends;
|
|
·
|
capital
requirements;
|
|
·
|
expansion
plans;
|
|
·
|
legal
or contractual limitations;
|
|
·
|
financial
condition; and
|
|
·
|
other
relevant factors.
|
The
payment of dividends will also depend on our ability to declare dividends under
Florida law. Under Florida law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital
stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Florida statutes, or
if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which
the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however,
the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Florida
statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or
by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the
capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a
preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and
paying out of such net profits any dividends upon any shares of our capital
stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued
and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution
of assets shall have been repaired.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Our business model is to import
fashionable, custom designed, high quality patio and yacht outdoor furniture
that is handmade to our design specifications and manufactured from Brazilian
hardwoods. We intend to market our collection to interior designers,
yacht interior designers and brokers and retail distributors as well as
eventually to the end consumer by way of our website at
www.patiobahia.com. Since inception our activities have been
primarily related to the development of our business plan, raising our initial
capital and administrative start up activities including the designing of our
furniture collection, our brochures and our website, as well as preliminary
marketing activities. During fiscal 2003, 2004 and 2005 we generated
minimal revenues primarily from test marketing our furniture collection to
interior designers. During 2006 through 2009 our efforts have been focused on
our continued designing of furniture, locating a new location, source for raw
materials and manufacturers for our furniture, initial marketing efforts and
fund raising.
10
The furniture market is extremely
competitive and our ability to generate sales is dependent upon the successful
marketing of our furniture collection. We intend to continue focusing
our marketing efforts during 2010 on the South Florida market, marketing our
furniture collection to foreign export distributors, corporate interior
designers, yacht brokers and yacht interior designers. Our management
has extensive contacts in these areas which we believe will be a great resource
which can be exploited at minimal cost. We believe that in order to
fully launch our furniture collection we will need to expand these marketing
efforts into the next phase of marketing to include trade shows, exhibitions
and/or magazine advertisements in lifestyle publications featuring South
Florida. We have budged $20,000 for these marketing
costs.
In conjunction with the launch of these
new marketing efforts, we hope to begin selling our furniture
collection. Our business model is centered around growing our company
on a conservative basis, minimizing capital needs whenever
possible. Once sales begin, because we will incur expenses directly
related to manufacturing and shipping the furniture, our terms of sale will
require a deposit of approximately 50% of the sales price which we believe will
represent the entire cost of manufacturing and shipping the
furniture. Therefore, we intend to pass along all out of pocket costs
to our customers at the time of purchase. We anticipate that these
and any additional direct expenses we may incur in selling our furniture
collection will be substantially, if not completely, offset by revenues from the
sales price as such expenses will not be part of our fixed overhead
costs. As our business grows, we may carry inventory of finished
furniture; however, we do not anticipate holding inventory during the next
several fiscal years.
Our current working capital is not
sufficient to fund our current level of operations nor our marketing budget and
we will not be able to launch our next phase of marketing efforts unless we
raise additional capital. We do not have any exterior sources of
capital and the development stage of our company, lack of liquidity for our
securities and general weaknesses in the capital markets for nano capital
companies such as ours will make our efforts to raise additional capital very
difficult. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in
obtaining additional capital, or that such capital will be available in terms
acceptable to our company. Even if we are successful in raising additional
capital, it is likely that the terms of such capital will be dilutive to our
existing shareholders. If we are not able to raise the additional
capital as necessary, we will be unable to continue to implement our business
plan and it is unlikely that we can remain in business. In that
event, shareholders would lose their entire investment in our
company.
Going
Concern
We have
generated minimal revenue since our inception and have incurred net losses of
$360,097 since November 25, 2002 (inception) through December 31,
2009. Our current operations are not an adequate source of cash to
fund future operations. As a result of our limited operations, net
losses, working capital deficiency, stockholders deficiency and cash used in
operations, our auditors, in their audit report, which covers the period through
December 31, 2009, have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. While we have raised approximately $57,000 of net
proceeds from the sale of our securities since inception, our ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional
capital until such time as we can generate sufficient sales to fund our
operating expenses and to meet our obligations when they become
due. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in
future periods until we are successful in generating sales of our furniture
collection. There are no assurances we will be successful in our
efforts or continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose
their entire investment in our company.
Results
of Operations
We have not generated any revenues
during either fiscal 2009 or fiscal 2008. Total operating expenses
decreased approximately 4% in fiscal 2009 from fiscal 2008, which reflects a
decrease in rent and general and administrative expenses offset by increases in
consulting and professional fees. Because of the early stage of our
company's operations, our overhead expenses are minimal. Our Vice
President provides our company administrative offices at her home at no expense
to us. We anticipate, however, that overall our operating expenses in
fiscal 2010 will increase from fiscal 2009 as a result of increased professional
fees and other related fees and costs in fiscal 2010, estimated to range from
$25,000 to $30,000, to comply with our reporting requirements under Federal
securities laws and for fees and costs associated with the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, subject to
the availability of additional funds, we expect to spend at least $20,000 in
fiscal 2010 on marketing expenses which will increase our total operating
expenses. In addition, and assuming that we begin selling furniture
collection in fiscal 2010, our operating expenses will also likely increase as a
result of additional travel and general and administrative expenses as our
operations develop, as well as increased rent expense when we rent a permanent
location for our business. We are unable at this time to quantify the
amount of any of these increases as they are a factor of the amount of interest
in our furniture collection which may develop resulting in sales of our
products.
11
Interest expense represents interest
paid on notes payable, including notes payable to related
parties. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009 we satisfied a
$10,000 note payable which should serve to reduce interest expense in future
periods. However, as it is possible that the amounts advanced to us
by related parties may increase during fiscal 2010, our interest expense may
also increase based upon these increased obligations.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity means our ability to generate
adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs for cash. At December 31,
2009 we had a working capital deficit of $281,890, an increase of approximately
67% from December 31, 2008. This change is represented by a decrease
in our current assets of approximately 64%, which is primarily attributable to
decreases in cash and prepaid expenses, and an increase in our current
liabilities of approximately 37% which is primarily attributable to increases in
accrued payroll and accrued interest - related party offset by a decrease in
accounts payable and notes payable.
At December 31, 2009 our liabilities
included approximately $41,000 of notes payable and accrued interest therefore
to a related party which becomes due on December 31, 2010, or earlier if we
raise at least $300,000 in new funds. We do not have the funds
necessary to satisfy these obligations. The related party has
indicated that in the absence of funding or revenues sufficient to satisfy the
notes and accrued interest she would extend the notes for one additional year on
the same terms and conditions. In addition, our management has been
accruing the salaries due them and at December 31, 2009 our liabilities for
these salaries were approximately $258,000. These salaries will
continue to accrue in fiscal 2010 until such time as we have total sales of at
least $300,000.
We do not have any capital
commitments. At December 31, 2009 we had cash on hand of
approximately $13,000 which is not sufficient to fund our ongoing operations or
satisfy our obligations. As described earlier in this section, we
need to raise additional capital. If we raise additional capital
through the issuance of debt, this will result in interest
expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity
or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by
existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience
significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain
rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common
stock. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing can be
obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain
the financing necessary to support our operations, we could be unable to
continue as a going concern. In that event, we could be forced to
cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our
company.
Cash
Flow Activities
Net cash used in operating activities
for fiscal 2009 was $17,055 as compared to $24,381 for fiscal
2008. In fiscal 2009 we used cash primarily to decrease prepaid
expenses (which consist of professional fees) and our accounts
payable. In fiscal 2008 we used cash primarily to pay prepaid
expenses and reduce our accounts payable (which include professional
fees).
Net cash used in financing activities
for fiscal 2009 was $10,000 and represented the repayment of a loan as compared
to net cash provided by financing activities of $53,200 in fiscal 2008 which
represented proceeds of notes payable and sales of our common
stock.
Off-balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial
guarantees or commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any entity. We
have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares
and classified as stockholder’s equity. Furthermore, we do not have any retained
or contingent interest in assets transferred to an entity that serves as credit,
liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable
interest in any entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit
support to us or engages in leasing or hedging services with us.
Recent
Capital Raising Transaction
From
December 2007 to January 2008 we completed a private placement of 285,000 shares
of common stock, at a purchase price of $.20 per share, to 36 investors.
We received gross proceeds of $57,000 less $12,458 of direct offering
costs in connection with this transaction. We intend to use the proceeds
of this offering for professional fees and other expenses related to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the cost associated
with being a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and
for working capital through the first quarter of 2010.
12
Overview
We are a
development stage company that will specialize in the sale of distinctive
outdoor furniture destined for the high-end and sophisticated sector of the
market. Our business model is to import fashionable, custom designed,
high quality patio and yacht outdoor furniture, handmade to our design
specifications and manufactured in Brazil from Brazilian hardwoods, and market
our collection to interior designers and retail distributors as well as
eventually to the end consumer by way of our website at
www.patiobahia.com.
Since our
inception in November 2002, we have been developing and refining our furniture
collection, identifying our manufacturing sources and working with and marketing
to interior designers. We have also developed our website,
www.patiobahia.com, which showcases over 20 furniture designs made from three
types of Brazilian woods. Our company and products have been featured
in several magazines including the cover of Florida Architecture, Volume
11, (2007)as well as a feature story in Vogue Espana and Vogue Brasil (December
2006).
From
inception (November 25, 2002) through December 31, 2009 we reported minimal
revenues from operations and net losses of $360,097. Our principal
executive offices are located at 400 South Pointe Drive, #1704, Miami Beach,
Florida 33139 and our telephone number is (754)
234-9455. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Our
Target Markets
Retail
sales of casual and outdoor furniture continue to increase yearly, due in part
to a rising interest by consumers in outdoor living. According to the
American Home Furnishings Alliance in 2007, sales of outdoor furniture have more
than doubled in the last decade. We have seen an increasing number of
consumers now seeing yards and patios, terraces and decks as essential
extensions of their homes - places to retreat and relax, to play and entertain -
and are furnishing them in high style much like they decorate their
interiors.
The
current design trend of "outdoor living rooms" is prominently featured in
catalogs from mass marketers such as Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn and
Crate and Barrel to high end shelter magazines such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decor,
Vogue Living, House Beautiful and Home and
Garden. Innovation in style, design, fabrics and materials has
expanded the selection of casual and outdoor furniture across all price
points.
We intend
to target the high end and sophisticated sector of the outdoor furniture market,
including upscale residences and yachts. Our goal is to maintain and
nurture the potential alliances we will establish with interior designers,
upscale retailers and other sources of referral to build brand recognition for
our product line. We intend to market our products initially in the
State of Florida. Florida has one of the largest incomes per capita
in the world and one of the largest yacht dockage in the world, with more than
11,000 miles of waterways, rivers and streams. It is estimated that
annually more than 3,000 luxury yachts travel the Florida waterways between
Miami and Palm Beach. Additionally, Florida also has one of the
largest luxury residence markets in the world.
Our
Products
We currently offer a line of custom
designed, high quality outdoor and yacht furniture marketed under the "Patio
Bahia" brand. Our current product line is based on our original
designs. The design process begins with initial sketches made by Ms.
McCarthy, our President, which are then refined in consultation with our
principal manufacturer to ensure structural integrity and ease of
construction. A sample piece is then built and final refinements to
the design are completed before the item is added to our product
line. We currently offer a collection of over 20 designs, including
chaise lounges, sofas, occasional chairs, dining chairs, dining tables, coffee
tables, occasional tables, bar stools and a distinctive towel/hat
rack. Retail prices for our furniture range from $900 to
$1,500. As is customary in the furnishings industry, it is our goal
to regularly update our collection through the addition of new pieces and the
careful editing of other, less popular pieces.
Our handcrafted outdoor furniture
pieces are manufactured in Bahia, Brazil, the center of the hardwood
manufacturing in Brazil. Brazilian tropical hardwoods are very
impervious to weather and require minimal maintenance while avoiding the
"graying" associated with teak. We offer furniture made from three
types of Brazilian wood, including tatajuba, jatoba and angelim pedra, all of
which are highly resistant to insects and fungus. Tatajuba is golden
brown that turns to a pleasing shade of maroon with exposure to the sun. This
high-density wood that can be easily worked with manual and mechanical tools and
is considered a premier wood used for outdoor conditions. Jatoba,
also known as Brazilian cherry, is a plentiful hardwood found in various regions
throughout South America and one of the most high-density woods available
today. The heartwood of Jatoba is salmon red to orange brown becoming
russet to reddish brown when seasoned. Jatoba, which is used for fine
furniture making, is also used extensively for outdoor construction and casual
outdoor furniture. Angelim pedra is a heartwood found abundantly in
the northeast of Brazil which is light orange tan turning pale brown on
exposure.
13
Furniture
artisans at the manufacturer handcraft each furniture piece. The choices of
hardwoods are determined by esthetic, ecological and durability
considerations. The woods used in our furniture are high density,
superior to teak and able to withstand outdoor exposure with minimum wear while
retaining their deep, rich and vibrant colors.
We are
initially focusing our sales efforts on interior designers. We offer
designers a customary "to the trade" discount of 15% from our retail
pricing. We are seeking to expand the distribution of our products to
sources such as a retail furniture, specialty home decor, garden, yacht and
similar stores. While we have not solidified our pricing structure
for these potential additional outlets for our products, we anticipate that we
will offer quantity discounts in amounts to be determined. Finally,
in the future we intend to expand our website to permit consumers to order
pieces directly from our company.
Our
existing outdoor furniture designs are ready to be ordered from
samples. We can also accept custom design orders from interior and
furniture designers and have the furniture manufactured in accordance with the
customer's design. Our outdoor furniture is shipped fully assembled
from Brazil to the Port of Miami. Our furniture prices are FOB,
Miami. We will request a customer pay a 50% deposit on the order with
the balance due prior to items being shipped to the customer's
destination.
We offer
a one year guarantee on the wood used in our outdoor furniture during which time
we will replace free of charge all wood pieces that can no longer be used due to
the rotting of the wood or to wood bores. We do not guarantee the
fixtures and fitting or the workmanship of the piece, and the wood must have
been maintained and treated on a regular basis. We have an oral
agreement with the principal manufacturer of our furniture that it will supply
the wood and pay all costs associated with this guarantee as
necessary.
Manufacturing
and Product Delivery from Brazil
According
to the March 2008 Wood Products Report by the Office of Global Analysis, Foreign
Agricultural Service, United States Department of Agriculture, the Brazilian
furniture sector is comprised of more than 70,000 firms, mostly small companies,
with a total gross income of $4.1 billion. In the Brazilian state of
Bahia there are a number of small to medium sized furniture
manufacturers. We have initially established relationships with two
such manufacturers. We identified our principal manufacturer, which has been in
business for approximately 15 years, through a contact of our President, Ms.
McCarthy, who maintains a home in the area. We identified our
secondary manufacturer, who has been in business for approximately 30 years,
through investigation of furniture manufacturers in Bahia. We believe
that both of these companies are capable of producing high quality products to
our specifications.
Given our
early stage of operations, we are unable at this time to accurately estimate our
needs with respect to product quantities and product mixes. Based on
our discussions with our principal manufacturer, if our product demand exceeds
its production capacity and that of our secondary manufacturer, our principal
manufacturer will assist us in outsourcing the excess capacity or it will
increase its capacity to meet our demands. In addition, we believe we
could use a number of other furniture manufacturers in Bahia to produce our
product line with quality levels acceptable to us.
Our principal manufacturer purchases
wood from a variety of wholesale sources, including local farms. The wood used
in our furniture collection is readily available and not currently subject to
any harvesting or export restrictions. To date, prior to the
production of any products Ms. McCarthy has inspected the wood to be used prior
to the manufacture of our products to ensure the quality of our
products.
Other
than the agreement related to our customer guarantee, we do not have any
contracts with either of our identified manufacturers. Our principal
manufacturer quotes prices in Brazilian Real (BRL) on an order by order
basis. We purchase our products FOB Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. The current terms of sale with our principal manufacturer
are:
•
|
a
deposit equal to 50% of the order total at the time of
order,
|
|
•
|
a
progress payment equal to 25% of the order total during the manufacturing
process, and
|
|
•
|
the
balance of 25% when the shipment is loaded on the ship in Rio for
transport to Miami.
|
The
amount of our final payment is adjusted at the time the wire is sent to the
current value of the BRL.
14
We have
yet to purchase products from the secondary manufacturer, but anticipate that
the terms of sale will be substantially similar.
During
our limited operating history, our management has generally traveled to Bahia as
the orders are complete to inspect the finished product prior to final payment
and its transit to the Port of Rio de Janerio. From time to time we
have relied upon the manufacturer to inspect the quality of the finished goods
prior to shipment to us. While we have used 20 foot shipping
containers in the past, we intend to place orders which will fully fill a 40
foot shipping container. Based on our experience to date, we believe
this strategy will both minimize potential product damage from shifting during
transit and permit us to amortize the shipping costs over a greater number of
pieces. Based upon an average mix of products and the most recent
prices charged to us by the manufacturer for our last shipment in 2005, our cost
of a 20 foot shipping container was approximately $6,000. The cost
for a 40 foot shipping container will be higher, but a final price has yet to be
fixed.
We are
responsible for all transportation costs from the manufacturer to our customer.
During our limited operations to date, for logistics in Brazil we use a
commercial freight forwarder. This company is responsible for
transporting the finished goods from Bahia to the Port of Rio de Janerio,
properly loading the container, all export documentation and insuring the
finished goods at replacement. We are responsible for transit
taxes. Once the shipment arrives at the Port of Miami we hire a
commercial shipping agent to handle all offloading, customs and similar
documentation and transportation of the container to our
customer. Based on our historical experience, the total cost of
shipping a 40 foot container from Bahia to delivery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
is approximately $6,000. There are a number of freight forwarders in
Brazil and shipping agents in Miami and we do not anticipate any difficulties in
engaging sufficiently experienced agents to efficiently handle our logistics
needs.
Time of
delivery to the Port of Miami from the date of order is approximately 90 days,
which includes approximately 60 days for the products to be manufactured and
approximately 30 days transit from Bahia to Port of Miami.
Special
Considerations Regarding Brazilian Wood
A
significant feature in the design and style of our products is the Brazilian
hardwoods from which they are constructed. We are committed to
protecting the environment and the need to sustain a long-term supply of
forests. Approximately 50% to 60% of the wood used in our furniture
is recycled lumber made from reclaimed wood, with the balance seasoned new
wood. We do not use mahogany or any other Amazonian wood in our
products. We intend to only use contract manufacturers who are
supervised by Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais or
"IBAMA". IBAMA insures that the forest resource is managed in a
sustainable manner and that the rainforest is preserved.
Marketing
We intend
to market our products initially in the State of Florida before branching out to
other regions. We will rely heavily upon the contacts and knowledge
of foreign (export) distributors, corporate interior designers and distributors,
yacht brokers and yacht interior designers of Ms. McCarthy, our President, in
our marketing efforts.
Subject
to the availability of sufficient capital, we also intend to attend major
national and international trade shows and exhibitions including furniture,
outdoor living and boat and yacht shows and exhibitions. Finally, we
intend to utilize magazine advertising in various high end shelter magazines
that focus on South Florida and our web site to further develop brand
recognition. We estimate the costs of marketing for 2010 to be
approximately $20,000
Intellectual
Property
Our business is largely dependent
upon our product designs and we believe that our product designs are unique and
are a significant component in our ability to gain market share. We
believe our furniture designs are our proprietary property and we have an oral
agreement with our principal manufacturer to that effect. We also
rely on trade secrets as we do not have any contractual confidentiality
provisions, design patents, copyrights or trademarks, to protect our proprietary
rights. Accordingly, our intellectual property position is more vulnerable than
it would be if it were protected by design patents, other intellectual property
rights or contractual confidentiality provisions. We have not engaged
counsel in Brazil to determine if we can seek legal protection for our designs,
nor do we have any present intention to seek design patent or other intellectual
property right protections in the United States.
15
We have
also obtained the right to the Internet address
www.patiobahia.com. As with phone numbers, we do not have and cannot
acquire any property rights in an Internet address. We do not expect to lose the
ability to use this Internet address; however, there can be no assurance in this
regard and the loss of this address could materially adversely affect our
efforts to develop brand recognition for our products and our
business.
Competition
The
outdoor furniture market is highly competitive and rapidly evolving, resulting
in a dynamic competitive environment with several dominant national and
multi-national leaders, both in up-scale and mass market outdoor furniture
suppliers that have a limited up-scale outdoor furniture product
line. Competitive factors in the outdoor furniture manufacturing and
distributing segments, include product quality, marketing and distribution
resources, customer service and support and price of product. We will
compete with a number of existing companies as well as new companies which may
enter the market with new designer products. Several of the
competitive challenges facing our company include:
•
|
anticipating
and quickly responding to changing consumer
demands;
|
•
|
developing
brand and customer awareness;
|
•
|
achieving
customer perception of value;
|
|
•
|
effectively
marketing and competitively pricing our products to our target market
segment; and
|
|
•
|
competing
with entities that have substantially longer operating histories and
greater financial and other resources than we
do.
|
Most of
our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition,
larger client bases and significantly greater financial and marketing resources
than we do. These competitors are able to undertake more extensive
marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more
attractive offers to potential clients. In addition, many of our
current or potential competitors, such as Tropitone, Brown Jordan, Tidelli and
Artisan House, have broad recognition and distribution channels that may be used
to distribute competing handcrafted outdoor furniture products directly to
end-users or purchasers. We believe that our designs, manufacturing
relationships, ability to import, and product quality and value are significant
competitive advantages.
We
expects competition to persist and intensify in the future as the overall market
for casual and outdoor furnishings continue to expand. Given our
limited operating history, lack of experience by our management in our specific
business model, lack of working capital and the competitive environment of our
market segment there are no assurances that we will ever be effective in
establishing our brand or effectively competing in our target
market.
Government
Regulations; Imports and Import Restrictions
Our transactions with foreign
manufacturers are subject to the risks of doing business
abroad. Imports into the United States are affected by, among other
things, the cost of transportation, import duties and restrictions and
compliance with Homeland Security regulations. Our products are not
subject to any quota, duty, tariff or other restrictions currently imposed by
either Brazil or the United States. The United States and Brazil may,
from time to time, however, impose quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions
which could affect our business and our ability to import our
products. We cannot predict the likelihood or frequency of any such
events occurring.
We are
also subject to compliance with import procedures and controls, including those
of the United States Department of Homeland Security. Because our
products will be shipped to us in containers, we may also be subject to
regulations promulgated in the United States seeking to protect the integrity of
international commerce and prevent the use of containers for international
terrorism or other illicit activities. For example, the Container Security
Initiative, the Customs - Trade Partnership Against Terrorism and Operation Safe
Commerce are among the programs administered by the United States Department of
Homeland Security that are designed to enhance security for cargo moving
throughout the international transportation system by identifying existing
vulnerabilities in the supply chain and developing improved methods for ensuring
the security of containerized cargo entering and leaving the United
States.
Employees
At
present, we have no employees other than our two officers, each of whom devote
80% of their time to our business operations.
16
Description
of Property
We
currently operate without charge out of space donated by our vice president in
her home. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement until such time as
the scale of operations warrant and require relocation to a larger facility,
whether leased or purchased. This space consists of 15 square feet of executive
office space. We believe that this space is sufficient for us at this time to
conduct our operations.
At such
time as we commence selling our furniture we intend to lease commercial office
space for our principal executive offices, lease storage space at a local
storage company to hold the purchased furniture upon delivery from our
manufacturer and pending delivery to our customers, and lease a small showroom
for our products. We do not believe we will have any difficulty in
locating suitable space at such time as we are able to relocate and or expand
our operations.
Our
History
We were
incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on November 25, 2002. In
December 2004 we changed our name to Jeannot’s Furnishings of Florida, Inc. to
better describe our intended business. In August 2007 we changed our
name back to Patio Bahia, Inc. as the better name to describe our intended
business. We were incorporated with capital stock consisting of 7,500 shares of
common stock, par value $1.00 per share. In December 2004 we increased our
capital stock to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share,
and created 10,000,000 shares of authorized but undesignated shares of preferred
stock, par value $.001 per share. On December 30, 2004 we completed a forward
stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the basis of
1,000 shares for each outstanding share.

McCarthy. Ms.
McCarthy is a founder of our company and has served as our CEO and President
since December 2004, and Chairman of the Board of Directors since incorporation
in November 2002.
Ms. McCarthy attended Georgetown
University from 1982-1984, pursuing a degree in Biology. In 1985, Ms. McCarthy
managed a small resort "Silver Star" in Jamaica and chartered her future
husband's yacht to small groups of tourists. During that time, Ms. McCarthy
traveled extensively to Mexico and founded "Final Touch, Inc.", a company that
manufactured cowboy boots, which she operated from 1985 to 1987. Final Touch
Inc. appeared in the German edition of Vogue, and had a large market in Europe
and Canada. Ms. McCarthy sold her interest to her German partner to be able to
devote herself to motherhood. In 1988, Ms. McCarthy moved to Porto Seguro,
Brazil to raise her daughter and became acquainted with and admired the unique
craftsmanship in the region. She studied with various artists and wood craftsmen
and began to design and produce various pieces of furniture that were bought by
homeowners and hotels in the area.
In 1991, Ms. McCarthy returned to South
Florida and from 1991 to 1993 managed Le Loft, a night club located in Miami
Beach, where she was responsible for the day to day operation of the club, and
working with and organizing promoters. In 1993, Ms McCarthy became Editor in
Chief of Riveria Magazine, the first bilingual (French-English) magazine in
Miami Beach Florida. Ms. McCarthy continued with the magazine until 1994, when
the owner, a French investor, decided to return to Europe. In the beginning of
1995 and through to 1996, Ms. McCarthy joined Wimbish Realty, a realtor firm in
Miami Florida.
Ms. McCarthy has traveled extensively
over the past decade throughout South America, Asia, and Europe with a yearning
desire to learn as much as she could about artisan crafts and artisan woodwork.
It was her intention to start her own manufacturing company and distribution
company for hardwood outdoor furniture. In November 2002, Ms. McCarthy teamed up
with her partner Ms. Jerobkova to form our company.
Ms. McCarthy speaks fluent English,
French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and semi-fluent Italian and
German.
17
Ms.
McCarthy devotes approximately 80% of her time to our company and provides
approximately 20% of her time to unrelated companies.
Zlatuse
Jerabkova. Ms. Jerabkova is a founder of our company and has
served as vice president since December 2004, and as secretary and director
since incorporation in November 2002.
Ms. Jerabkova is a native of the Czech
Republic. In 1990, as a very young woman, she owned a small supermarket in her
village of Celedna. She sold her share of the supermarket to her partner in the
end of 1991. From 1990 to 1993, Ms. Jerabkova graduated from the Electro
University, acquiring a degree in Electrical Engineering. From 1992 to 1993, Ms.
Jerobkova was a partner in The Miva Model Agency in the Republic. From February
1993 until March 1995, Ms. Jerobkova worked in the marketing department of
Phillip Morris. In 1995, Ms. Jerobkova decided to pursue a modeling career and
went on to be crowned Miss Morivea in May 1995 and was then signed by, and
worked from October 1995 to October 1997 with, Metropolitan Models (Paris,
France), modeling throughout Europe and the United States. In 1997 to 2000, Ms.
Jerobkova decided to study acting and appeared in numerous movies such as "Any
Given Sunday" and commercials such as "7-UP". In 2001, Ms. Jerobkova was a
founder of Farenheit, Inc., a lingerie company, which has been inactive since
2007.
Ms.
Jerabkova speaks fluent Czech, English and Russian.
Ms.
Jerabkova currently devotes approximately 80% of her time to our company and
provides approximately 20% of her time to unrelated companies.
Management
Generally
There are
no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors.
Each director is elected at our annual meeting of shareholders and holds
office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, or until her successor is
elected and qualified.
As our
business grows, we will either seek to increase the amount of time our officers
devote to our company from 80% to 100% or hire additional employees. In
addition, in order for us to undertake our operations as contemplated, it will
be necessary for us to locate and hire a Chief Financial Officer and Chief
Operating Officer. The Company has approved the hiring of persons for these
positions at such time as the full implementation of our business plan, and we
generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital sufficient to
compensate persons for these positions.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
On June
13, 2007 we adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to provide guiding
principles to all of our employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics does
not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide
our employees and provides that all of our employees must conduct themselves
accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. Any
employee which violates our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be subject
to disciplinary action, up to an including termination of his or her employment.
Generally, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides guidelines
regarding:
|
·
|
compliance
with laws, rules and regulations,
|
|
·
|
conflicts
of interest,
|
|
·
|
insider
trading,
|
|
·
|
corporate
opportunities,
|
|
·
|
competition
and fair dealing,
|
|
·
|
discrimination
and harassment,
|
|
·
|
health
and safety,
|
|
·
|
record

|

·
|

|
|
·
|
protection
and proper use of company assets,
|
|
·
|

to government personnel,
|
|
·
|
waivers
of the Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics,
|
|
·
|
reporting
any illegal or unethical behavior,
and
|
|
·
|
compliance
procedures.
|
In
addition, we have also adopted a Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer
and Senior Financial Officers. In addition to our Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics, our CEO and senior financial officers are also subject to specific
policies regarding:
18
|
·
|
disclosures
made in our filings with the SEC,
|
|
·
|
deficiencies
in internal controls or fraud involving management or other employees who
have a significant role in our financial reporting, disclosure or internal
controls,
|
|
·
|
conflicts
of interests, and
|
|
·
|
knowledge
of material violations of securities or other laws, rules or regulations
to which we are subject.
|
A copy of
our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part.
Director
Independence; Committees of the Board of Directors
As our
Board of Directors is comprised of individuals who were integral in the founding
and operations of our company, we do not have any directors who are
“independent” within the meaning of definitions established by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. We anticipate that if we expand our Board of
Directors in the future, that we will seek to include members who are
independent. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has
requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not
currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or
any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent”
directors.
Our Board
of Directors has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a
Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a
similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the
entire board as a whole. Our board of directors does not believe that it is
necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such
committees can be adequately performed by our Board of Directors as a whole.
Further, since our securities are not listed on an exchange, we are not
subject to any qualitative requirements mandating the establishment of any
particular committees.
We do not
have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may
be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for
director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for
identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy
regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by
our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not
considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a
recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of
Directors. Given the nature of our operations and lack of directors and officers
insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make
such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations
of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all
members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director
nominees.
None of
our directors is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of
Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In general, an "audit committee financial
expert" is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors
who:
|
·
|
understands
generally accepted accounting principles and financial
statements,
|
|
·
|
is
able to assess the general application of such principles in connection
with accounting for estimates, accruals and
reserves,
|
|
·
|
has
experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial
statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial
statements,
|
|
·
|
understands
internal controls over financial reporting,
and
|
|
·
|
understands
audit committee functions.
|
We
believe that the members of our Board of Directors are collectively capable of
analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal
controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining
an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial
expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our
circumstances.

How
our Executive Officers Compensation Will be Determined
We are a
party to an employment agreement with our chief executive officer and vice
president. Compensation for our executive officers pursuant to the employment
agreements was arbitrarily determined by the Board of Directors, of which each
executive officer is a member. We also believe that compensation for any other
executive officer retained by us will also be arbitrarily determined by the
Board of Directors. It is anticipated that the amount of compensation
will not be tied to any performance goals or other traditional measurements and
may be increased from time to time at the sole discretion of our
Board.
Employment
Agreements
Each of
Ms. McCarthy and Ms. Jerabkova devote approximately 80% of their time to the
business and affairs of our company. We do not anticipate that this
will materially change in the foreseeable future.
Effective
June 1, 2007, we entered into a two-year employment agreement with Jeannot
McCarthy to serve as our chief executive officer. The agreement automatically
renews for additional one-year terms upon its expiration, unless terminated
under the terms of the agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, Ms.
McCarthy shall receive an annual base salary of $50,000, which amount shall
accrue until such time as we generate $300,000 in sales, and bonuses to be
determined by the Board of Directors. The agreement also provides for paid
vacation, fringe benefits commensurate with her duties and responsibilities, as
well as containing certain non-disclosure and non-competition provisions. Under
the terms of the agreement, we may terminate Ms. McCarthy's employment for
cause. If the agreement is terminated by us without good cause, we would be
obligated to pay her base salary and continue her benefits for a period of six
months. To the extent that Ms. McCarthy is terminated for cause, or she
voluntarily resigns, no severance benefits will be paid.
Effective
June 1, 2007, we entered into a two-year employment agreement with Zlatuse
Jerabkova to serve as our Vice President. The agreement automatically renews for

an annual base salary of $50,000, which amount shall accrue until such time as
we generate $300,000 in sales, and bonuses to be determined by the Board of
Directors. The agreement also provides for paid vacation, fringe benefits
commensurate with her duties and responsibilities, as well as containing certain

Ms. McCarthy has served as our chief executive officer and president since
December 2004.
Equity
Compensation Plan
On June
13, 2007, our board of directors authorized, and the holders of all of our
outstanding common stock approved and adopted, our 2007 Stock Option and Stock
Award Plan covering 10,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this
prospectus, we have granted no options under the Plan.
The
purpose of the plan is to encourage stock ownership by our officers, directors,
key employees and consultants, and to give such persons a greater personal
interest in the success of our business and an added incentive to continue to
advance and contribute to us. Our board of directors, or a committee of the
board, will administer the Plan including, without limitation, the selection of
the persons who will be awarded stock grants and granted options, the type of
options to be granted, the number of shares subject to each option and the
exercise price.
Plan
options may either be options qualifying as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or non-qualified
options. In addition, the plan allows for the inclusion of a reload option
provision, which permits an eligible person to pay the exercise price of the
option with shares of common stock owned by the eligible person and receive a
new option to purchase shares of common stock equal in number to the tendered
shares. Furthermore, compensatory stock amounts may also be issued. Any
incentive option granted under the plan must provide for an exercise price of
not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date
of grant, but the exercise price of any incentive option granted to an eligible
employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less
than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The term of each plan
option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of
directors or the committee, provided that no option may be exercisable more than
10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option
granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no
more than five years after the date of the grant.
Eligibility
Our
officers, directors, key employees and consultants are eligible to receive stock
grants and non-qualified options under the plan. Only our employees are eligible
to receive incentive options.
21
Administration
The plan
will be administered by our board of directors or an underlying committee. The
board of directors or the committee determines from time to time those of our
officers, directors, key employees and consultants to whom stock grants or plan
options are to be granted, the terms and provisions of the respective option
agreements, the time or times at which such options shall be granted, the type
of options to be granted, the dates such plan options become exercisable, the
number of shares subject to each option, the purchase price of such shares and
the form of payment of such purchase price. All other questions relating to the
administration of the plan, and the interpretation of the provisions thereof and
of the related option agreements, are resolved by the board of directors or
committee.
Shares
Subject to Awards
We have
currently reserved 10,000,000 of our authorized but unissued shares of common
stock for issuance under the plan, and a maximum of 10,000,000 shares may be
issued, unless the plan is subsequently amended, subject to adjustment in the
event of certain changes in our capitalization, without further action by our
board of directors and stockholders, as required. Subject to the limitation on
the aggregate number of shares issuable under the plan, there is no maximum or
minimum number of shares as to which a stock grant or plan option may be granted
to any person. Shares used for stock grants and plan options may be authorized
and unissued shares or shares reacquired by us, including shares purchased in
the open market. Shares covered by plan options which terminate unexercised will
again become available for grant as additional options, without decreasing the
maximum number of shares issuable under the plan, although such shares may also
be used by us for other purposes.
The plan
provides that, if our outstanding shares are increased, decreased, exchanged or
otherwise adjusted due to a share dividend, forward or reverse share split,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange
of shares, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment will be made in the
number or kind of shares subject to the plan or subject to unexercised options
and in the purchase price per share under such options. Any adjustment, however,
does not change the total purchase price payable for the shares subject to
outstanding options. In the event of our proposed dissolution or liquidation, a
proposed sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or tender
offer for our shares of common stock, the board of directors may declare that
each option granted under the Plan terminates as of a date to be fixed by the
board of directors; provided that not less than 30 days written notice of the
date so fixed shall be given to each participant holding an option, and each
such participant shall have the right, during the period of 30 days preceding
such termination, to exercise the participant's option, in whole or in part,
including as to options not otherwise exercisable.
Terms
of Exercise
The plan
provides that the options granted thereunder shall be exercisable from time to
time in whole or in part, unless otherwise specified by the committee or by the
board of directors.
The plan
provides that, with respect to incentive stock options, the aggregate fair
market value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the shares of
common stock, with respect to which incentive stock options are first
exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year shall not exceed
$100,000.
Exercise
Price
The
purchase price for shares subject to incentive stock options must be at least
100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option is
granted, except that the purchase price must be at least 110% of the fair market
value in the case of an incentive option granted to a person who is a "10%
stockholder." A "10% stockholder" is a person who owns, within the meaning of
Section 422(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, at the time the
incentive option is granted, shares possessing more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding shares. The plan
provides that fair market value shall be determined by the board of directors or
the committee in accordance with procedures which it may from time to time
establish. If the purchase price is paid with consideration other than cash, the
Board or the Committee shall determine the fair value of such consideration to
us in monetary terms.
The
exercise price of non-qualified options shall be determined by the board of
directors or the committee, but shall not be less than the par value of our
common stock on the date the option is granted.
The per
share purchase price of shares issuable upon exercise of a plan option may be
adjusted in the event of certain changes in our capitalization, but no such
adjustment shall change the total purchase price payable upon the exercise in
full of options granted under the plan.
22
Manner
of Exercise
Plan
options are exercisable by delivery of written notice to us stating the number
of shares with respect to which the option is being exercised, together with
full payment of the purchase price therefor. Payment shall be in cash, checks,
certified or bank cashier's checks, promissory notes secured by the shares
issued through exercise of the related options, shares of common stock or in
such other form or combination of forms which shall be acceptable to the board
of directors or the committee, provided that any loan or guarantee by us of the
purchase price may only be made upon resolution of the board of directors or
committee that such loan or guarantee is reasonably expected to benefit
us.
Option
Period
All
incentive stock options shall expire on or before the tenth anniversary of the
date the option is granted except as limited above. However, in the case of
incentive stock options granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of
the common stock, these options will expire no later than five years after the
date of the grant. Non-qualified options shall expire 10 years and one day from
the date of grant unless otherwise provided under the terms of the option
grant.
Termination
All plan
options are nonassignable and nontransferable, except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the optionee, may be
exercised only by such optionee. If an optionee shall die while our employee or
within three months after termination of employment by us because of disability,
or retirement or otherwise, such options may be exercised, to the extent that
the optionee shall have been entitled to do so on the date of death or
termination of employment, by the person or persons to whom the optionee's right
under the option pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such
right, by his executors or administrators.
In the
event of termination of employment because of death while an employee or because
of disability, the optionee's options may be exercised not later than the
expiration date specified in the option or one year after the optionee's death,
whichever date is earlier, or in the event of termination of employment because
of retirement or otherwise, not later than the expiration date specified in the
option or one year after the optionee's death, whichever date is
earlier.
If an
optionee's employment by us terminates because of disability and such optionee
has not died within the following three months, the options may be exercised, to
the extent that the optionee shall have been entitled to do so at the date of
the termination of employment, at any time, or from time to time, but not later
than the expiration date specified in the option or one year after termination
of employment, whichever date is earlier.
If an
optionee's employment shall terminate for any reason other than death or
disability, optionee may exercise the options to the same extent that the
options were exercisable on the date of termination, for up to three months
following such termination, or on or before the expiration date of the options,
whichever occurs first. In the event that the optionee was not entitled to
exercise the options at the date of termination or if the optionee does not
exercise such options (which were then exercisable) within the time specified
herein, the options shall terminate.
If an
optionee's employment shall terminate for any reason other than death,
disability or retirement, all right to exercise the option shall terminate not
later than 90 days following the date of such termination of
employment.
If an
optionee's employment with us is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and
within three months after the date thereof optionee either (i) accepts
employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with us,
or (ii) discloses to anyone outside our company or uses any confidential
information or material of our company in violation of our policies or any
agreement between the optionee and our company, the committee, in its sole
discretion, may terminate any outstanding stock option and may require optionee
to return to us the economic value of any award that was realized or obtained by
optionee at any time during the period beginning on that date that is six months
prior to the date optionee's employment with us is terminated.
The
committee may, if an optionee's employment with us is terminated for cause,
annul any award granted under this plan to such employee and, in such event, the
committee, in its sole discretion, may require optionee to return to us the
economic value any award that was realized or obtained by optionee at any time
during the period beginning on that date that is six months prior to the date
optionee's employment with us is terminated.
23
Modification
and Termination of Plan
The board
of directors or committee may amend, suspend or terminate the plan at any time.
However, no such action may prejudice the rights of any holder of a stock grant
or optionee who has prior thereto been granted options under the plan. Further,
no amendment to this plan which has the effect of (a) increasing the aggregate
number of shares subject to this plan (except for adjustments due to changes in
our capitalization), or (b) changing the definition of "Eligible Person" under
the plan, may be effective unless and until approved by our stockholders in the
same manner as approval of this plan is required. Any such termination of the
plan shall not affect the validity of any stock grants or options previously
granted thereunder. Unless the plan shall theretofore have been suspended or
terminated by the board of directors, the plan will terminate on June 13,
2017.
Director
Compensation
Our Board
of Directors is comprised of Ms. McCarthy and Ms. Jerabkova. Our
directors do not receive any compensation for their services as a member of the
Board of Directors. Compensation, if any, paid to Ms. McCarthy, who
is our chief executive office, is provided under the Summary Compensation
Table.
We have
not established standard compensation arrangements for our directors and the
compensation, if any, payable to each individual for their service on our Board
will be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors based upon the
amount of time expended by each of the directors on our behalf. No member
of our Board of Directors received compensation for their services for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 or December 31, 2009.
Limitation
on Liability
Under our
articles of incorporation, our directors are not liable for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty, except in connection with:
|
·
|
breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
shareholders;
|
|
·
|
acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of
law;
|
|
·
|
a
transaction from which our director received an improper benefit;
or
|
|
·
|
an
act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly
provided under Nevada law.
|
In
addition, our bylaws provides that we must indemnify our officers and directors
to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law for all expenses incurred in the
settlement of any actions against such persons in connection with their having
served as officers or directors.
Insofar
as the limitation of, or indemnification for, liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling
us pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such limitation or
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
Other
than receiving certain loans from our officer, we have not entered into any
transactions with our affiliates. Any transaction we enter into in the future
with any affiliate will be approved, and the terms thereof determined, by our
board of directors excluding interested members of the board, if any. We intend
for the terms of any transaction with an affiliate, if any, including the terms
of the loans from our officers, to be at least as beneficial to us as terms we
could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.

executive officers. The term per the agreements started on June 1, 2007 and
expired on May 31, 2009 and extends automatically for additional one year terms.
The Company agreed to compensate each officer $50,000, which salary accrues
until such time the Company generates in excess of $300,000 in revenues per

Our Board
of Directors has determined that it does not have a member that is “independent”
as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The
following table shows certain information regarding our voting securities

|
Under
federal securities laws, a person is considered a beneficial owner of any
securities that the person owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership
of within 60 days. Beneficial ownership may also attribute shares
owned of record by one person to another person, such as the record holder’s
spouse, minor children, corporation or other business entity. As of the date of
this prospectus, there were 7,935,000 shares of our common stock, the sole

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
Common
Stock
We are
currently authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 7,935,000
shares of our common stock outstanding.
Common
stockholders share dividends on a proportionate basis, as may be declared by the
board of directors. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after
payment to creditors, our remaining assets, if any, will be divided
proportionately on a per share basis among the holders of our common
stock.
Each
share of our common stock has one vote. Holders of our common stock do not have
cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders of a plurality of the
shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. In
that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any
directors. Our by-laws provide that a majority of the outstanding shares of our
common stock constitute a quorum to transact business at a stockholders’
meeting. Our common stock has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights,
and our common stock is not redeemable.
Preferred Stock
The Board
of Directors, without further shareholder approval, may from time to time issue
preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the
designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications,
limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The
rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of
preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on
liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking
fund provisions and other matters. The Board of Directors may
authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our Common
Stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on
liquidation. In addition, the Board of Directors can fix limitations
and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on our Common Stock to
be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding. The
rights granted to the holders of any series of preferred stock could adversely
affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock and issuance of preferred
stock may delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.
26
Options
and Warrants
As of the
date of this prospectus, there are no issued and outstanding Options or Warrants
to purchase shares of our Common Stock.
Transfer
Agent
Our
transfer agent is Globex Transfer, LLC, 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202 Deltona, FL
32725, telephone number (386) 206-1133.

|
This
prospectus relates to periodic offers and sales of shares of our
common stock by the selling security holders listed below and their
pledgees, donees and other successors in interest, which shares include
285,000 shares issued pursuant to a private placement of securities sold
in December 2007 to January 2008.
|
The
following table sets forth:
|
·
|
the
name of each selling security
holder;
|
|
·
|
the
amount of common stock owned beneficially by each selling security
holder;
|
|
·
|
the
number of shares that may be offered by each selling security holder
pursuant to this prospectus;
|
|
·
|
the
number of shares to be owned by each selling security holder following
sale of the shares covered by this prospectus;
and
|
|
·
|
the
percentage of our common stock to be owned by each selling security holder
following sale of the shares covered by this prospectus (based on
7,935,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this
prospectus).
|
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally
includes voting or investment power with respect to outstanding voting
securities, as well as any voting securities which the person has the right to
acquire within 60 days, through the conversion or exercise of any security or
other right. The information as to the number of shares of our common
stock owned by each selling security holder is based upon our books and records
and the information provided by our transfer agent.
We may
amend or supplement this prospectus, from time to time, to update the disclosure
set forth in the table. Because the selling security holders identified in
the table may sell some or all of the shares owned by them which are included in
this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or
understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no estimate can be
given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held
by the selling security holders upon termination of this offering. We
have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that the
selling security holders will sell all of the shares owned beneficially by them,
which are covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other shares of our
common stock that they presently own.

(1) Christopher
Smith has voting and dispositive control over the shares owned by SB Consultants
Ltd.
(2) Richard
Smith has voting and dispositive control over the shares owned by Castletown
Properties, Inc.
None of
the selling security holders are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Association (FINRA). None of the selling security holders have, or within
the past three years has had, any position, office or other material
relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, other than as
described previously in this section.
We have
agreed to pay full costs and expenses, incentives to the issuance, offer, sale
and delivery of the shares, including all fees and expenses in preparing, filing
and printing the registration statement and prospectus and related exhibits,
amendments and supplements thereto and mailing of those items. We will not
pay selling commissions and expenses associated with any sale by the selling
security holders.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling security holders will offer and sell their shares, if they choose to
offer and sell their shares, at $0.25 per share until our shares are quoted in
the OTC Bulletin Board market or on a national securities exchange and
thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. This
initial offering price of $0.25 per share was arrived at based in part upon our
private placement in December 2007 to January 2008 in which we sold shares of
our common stock at $0.20 per share and in part that following the date of this
prospectus the shares will be registered and not restricted for resale.
The offering price of the shares in our private placement was determined
by us and does not necessarily bear any specific relation to our assets, book
value or potential earnings or any other generally recognized criteria of value.
Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities
exchange. Following such time as our shares of common stock are quoted in the
OTC Bulletin Board market or on a national securities exchange, if ever, each
selling security holder and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or
trading facility, on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.
These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling security
holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling
shares:
28
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
·
|
settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a
part;
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of
such shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
|
·
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or
otherwise;
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
or
|
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, as amended, if available, rather than under this
prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for
the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but,
except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) NASD Rule 2440; and in the case
of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD
IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling
security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the
common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The
selling security holders may also sell shares of the common stock short and
deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge
the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.
The selling security holders may also enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation
of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such
broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this
prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may
resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
The
selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling security
holder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common
stock..
Because
selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In
addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather
than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker
acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling
security holders.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any
person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the
applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the
commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling security
holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which
may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the
selling security holders or any other person. We will make copies of this
prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of
the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to
the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities
Act).
29
Shares
Eligible For Future Sale
At the
date of this prospectus, we had 7,935,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding, of which approximately 7,650,000 shares are "restricted securities"
and 285,000 shares are registered for resale pursuant to the registration
statement that this prospectus forms a part. In general, under Rule 144,
as currently in effect, a person, or person whose shares are aggregated, who is
not our affiliate or has not been an affiliate during the prior three
months and owns shares that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at
least six months previously, is entitled to make unlimited public resales of
such shares provided there is current public information available at the time
of the resales. A person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, who are
affiliates of our company and own shares that were purchased from us, or any
affiliate, at least six months previously is entitled to sell within any
three month period, a number of shares of our common stock that does not exceed
the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, subject to
manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current
public information about us.
Any
person who is not deemed to have been our affiliate at any time during the 90
days preceding a sale, and who owns shares within the definition of "restricted
securities" under Rule 144 under the Securities Act that were purchased from us,
or any affiliate, at least one year previously, is entitled to sell such shares
under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations, manner of sale
provisions, public information requirements or notice requirements.
Future
sales of restricted common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise or of the shares
which we are registering under this prospectus could negatively impact the
market price of our common stock if and when a market for our common stock
develops. We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold
in the future by our existing shareholders or the effect, if any, that sales of
shares by such shareholders will have on the market price of our common stock
prevailing from time to time when and if a market for our common stock develops.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by existing shareholders
could adversely affect prevailing market prices if and when a market for our
common stock develops.
The
validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us
by Schneider Weinberger & Beilly LLP.
Our
financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
included in this prospectus have been audited by Webb & Company, P.A.,
independent registered public accounting firm, as indicated in their report with
respect thereto, and have been so included in reliance upon the report of such
firm given on their authority as experts in accounting and
auditing.

SEC through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system

Following
the effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we
will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and in
accordance with these requirements, will file annual, quarterly and special
reports, and other information with the SEC. We also intend to furnish our
shareholders with annual reports containing audited financial statements and
other periodic reports as we think appropriate or as may be required by
law.

The
Florida Business Corporation Act permits the indemnification of directors,
employees, officers and agents of Florida corporations. Our Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Florida Business Corporation
Act.
The
provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in
appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of non-monetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of
criminal laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b)
deriving an improper personal benefit from a transaction, (c) voting for or
assenting to an unlawful distribution and (d) willful misconduct or conscious
disregard for our best interests in a proceeding by or in the right of a
shareholder. The statute does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any
other law, such as the Federal securities laws. The effect of the foregoing is
to require our company to indemnify our officers and directors for any claim
arising against such persons in their official capacities if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed 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.
Following
are all issuances of securities by the small business issuer during the past
three years which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). In each of these issuances the recipient
represented that he/she/it was acquiring the shares for investment purposes
only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance
with applicable securities laws. No general solicitation or advertising was used
in connection with any transaction, and the certificate evidencing the
securities that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability
absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an
applicable exemption therefrom. Unless specifically set forth below, no
underwriter participated in the transaction and no commissions
were paid in connection with the transactions.
In
December 2007 and January 2008 pursuant to a private offering of securities we
sold an aggregate of 285,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of
$.20 per share to 36 accredited investors in a private placement exempt from
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption provided by
Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D of that act as to 14 investors and
Regulation S of that act as to 22 investors. We received proceeds of $57,000 in
this offering. We did not pay any commissions, placement agent fees, finder’s
fee or other compensation in the transaction and we intend to use the proceeds
from this offering for general working capital.

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) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) 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;
Provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a
form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the
registration statement.
II-2
(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) 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.
(5)
For determining liability of the undersigned under the Securities Act to
any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned 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
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 small business issuer
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to;
(ii) Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned
small business issuer;
(iii) The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its
securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer;
and
(iv) Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
small business issuer to the purchaser.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant,
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.
II-3
Pursuant
to 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 for
filing on Form S-1 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in Miami
beach, Florida, on February 9, 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors of:
Patio-Bahia,
Inc.
(A
Development Stage Company)
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Patio-Bahia, Inc. (A Development
Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity/deficiency and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from
November 25, 2002 (Inception) to December 31, 2009. 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 audits 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 Patio-Bahia, Inc as of December 31, 2009
and 2008 the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from November 25, 2002 (Inception)
to December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the
financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no
operations, a net loss of $360,097 and used cash in operations from inception of
$71,330. In addition, there is a working capital deficiency and stockholders’
deficiency of $281,890 as of December 31, 2009. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also
described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AS
OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 and DECEMBER 31, 2009
NOTE 1
|
ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
(A)
Organization
The
Company was organized in the state of Florida on November 25, 2002, as
Patio-Bahia, Inc. and on December 29, 2004, changed its name to Jeannots'
Furnishings of Florida, Inc. On August 15, 2007, the Company changed its name to
Patio-Bahia, Inc.
The
Company was incorporated with authorized 7,500 shares of common stock with par
value of $1.00. On December 29, 2004, the Company increased its authorized
common stock to 100,000,000 shares at a par value of $.001 and 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock at a par value of $.001. On December 30, 2004, the Company
completed
a forward stock split of its issued common shares of 1,000 shares for each
outstanding share.
There are
no preferred shares outstanding and therefore, their terms have not yet been
determined by the board of directors.
The
Company is engaged in the design of furniture and the wholesale and retail sales
of its custom made, outdoor patio and yacht furniture designs made exclusively
from Brazilian hardwoods. The Company sub-contracts the manufacturing
to custom furniture makers in Brazil.
Activities
during the development stage include developing the business plan, and raising
capital.
(B)
Use of Estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(C)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company did
not have any balances that exceeded FDIC insurance limits.
(D)
Reclassifications
Prior
amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s
presentation.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS
OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 and DECEMBER 31, 2009
(E)
Loss Per Share
Basic and
diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average
common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of December 31, 2009 and 2008
there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
(F)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of the Company's accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes
payable and notes payable - related party approximate fair value due to the
relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
(G)
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC
740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

(H)
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Codification
Topic 605, “Revenue
Recognition” (“ASC Topic 605”). Under ASC Topic 605, revenue
is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized
when products are received and accepted by the customer.
(I) Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or
slow moving inventory is made based on management's analysis of inventory levels
and future sales forecasts. During 2006, the Company determined that inventory
on hand was not going to be sold and recognized an impairment loss of $7,706.
Inventory consisted of the following at December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 –
Transfers and Servicing. FASB ASC No. 860 improves the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any,
in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting
period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of
FASB ASC No. 860 did not have a an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 –
Consolidation. FASB ASC No. 810 is effective as of the beginning of each
reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for
interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of FASB ASC No.
810 did not have on an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No.
105-GAAP. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the
SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative
GAAP for SEC registrants. FASB ASC No. 105 is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are
superseded as described in FASB ASC No. 105. All other accounting literature not
included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The adoption of FASB ASC No.
105 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

accrues until such time the Company generates in excess of $300,000 in revenues.
In addition, the Board of Directors may declare a bonus for the officers. For

GOING
CONCERN
|
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the
development stage with no operations, a net loss of $360,097 from inception and
used cash in operations from inception of $71,330. In addition, there is a
working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $281,890 as of
December 31, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its
business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
Management
believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and
implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to
continue as a going concern.
