The
offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the
amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(o). Our common
stock is not traded and any national exchange and in accordance with Rule
457, the offering price was determined by the price shares were sold to
the selling security holders in private placement transactions. The
selling shareholders may sell shares of our common stock at a fixed price
of $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The fixed price of $0.05 has been determined as the selling price based
upon the original purchase price paid by the selling security holders of
$0.003 plus an increase based on the fact the shares will be liquid and
registered. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to
file the necessary documents with the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”), which operates the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, nor
can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be
approved. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration
of the shares for the selling security
holders.

In
the event of a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction
involving our common stock, the number of shares registered shall
automatically be increased to cover the additional shares of common stock
issuable pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

The Registrant hereby amends
this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay
its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which
specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become
effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until
the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the
Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.
THE
INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE CHANGED. WE MAY NOT
SELL THESE SECURITIES UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IS EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL
THESE SECURITIES AND IT IS NOT SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY THESE SECURITIES IN
ANY STATE WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED.

Offering
price:
|
The
selling security holders purchased their shares of common stock from the
Company at the price of $0.003 per share and will be offering their shares
of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share, which includes an increase,
based on the fact the shares will be liquid and registered. This is a
fixed price at which the selling security holders may sell their shares
until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, at which time
the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated
prices.

|
26,000,000
shares of common stock.
|
||
Shares
outstanding after offering:
|
26,000,000
shares of common stock.
|
||

Market
for the common shares:
|
There
has been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded on
any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the effective date
of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have
a market maker file an application with the FINRA for our common stock to
eligible for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. We
do not yet have a market maker who has agreed to file such
application.
There
is no assurance that a trading market will develop, or, if developed, that
it will be sustained. Consequently, a purchaser of our common stock may
find it difficult to resell the securities offered herein should the
purchaser desire to do so when eligible for public
resale.

An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the following factors and other information in this
prospectus before deciding to invest in our company. If any of the following
risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects for growth would likely suffer. As a result, you could lose all or
part of your investment.
Risk
Factors Relating to Our Company
1. We are a development stage company, have
generated no revenues to date and have a limited operating history upon which we
may be evaluated.
We were
incorporated on September 2, 2009, have generated no revenues from operations to
date, and has no meaningful assets other than $39,661
in available cash at February 7, 2010. Our limited operating history
makes it difficult to evaluate
our business on the basis of historical operations. We face all of the risks
inherent in a new business and those risks specifically inherent in the business
of developing, testing, obtaining regulatory approvals for, manufacturing,
commercializing and selling new prescription drug products, with all of the
unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures
are subject. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate revenues or
profits from operation of our business or that we will be able to generate or
sustain profitability in the future.
2. Our
business model is unproven and our success is dependent on our ability to
develop and then expand our customer base.
Our
business model is to generate revenues from the sale of probiotic,
biotherapeutic drug products. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be
successful in doing this in order to generate revenues in the future. Our
business model is new, and our ability to generate revenue is unproven.
Therefore, it is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for
the products we intend to develop, or if we will be able to effectuate our
business plan. We recognize that if we are unable to generate revenues, we will
not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no
history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will
prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will
generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable
operations.
3. We
require additional funding and our operations could be curtailed if we are
unable to obtain required additional funding when needed.
We will
be required to expend substantial amounts of working capital in order to
acquire, develop, test, obtain the requisite regulatory approvals, manufacture
and market our proposed products and establish the necessary relationships to
implement our business plan. We were incorporated on September 2, 2009. Our
operations to date were funded entirely by a short term loan by The Meister
Group, a company of which our secretary is the vice president, and capital
raised from our private offering of securities from November through December
2009 (the “Offering”) Notwithstanding the Offering, we will continue to require
additional financing to execute our business strategy. We are totally
dependent on external sources of financing for the foreseeable future, of which
we have no commitments. Our failure to raise additional funds in the future will
adversely effect our business operations, and may require us to suspend our
operations, which in turn may result in a loss to the purchasers of our common
stock. We are entirely dependent on our ability to attract and receive
additional funding from either the sale of securities or outside sources such as
private investment or a strategic partner. We currently have no firm agreements
or arrangements with respect to any such financing and there can be no assurance
that any needed funds will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. The
inability to obtain sufficient funding of our operations in the future could
restrict our ability to grow and reduce our ability to continue to conduct
business operations. If we are unable to obtain necessary financing, we will
likely be required to curtail our development plans which could cause us to
become dormant. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution
to our then existing stockholders.
3
4. The loss of key executives or
consultants or the failure to hire qualified employees would damage our
business.
Because
of the highly technical nature of our business, we depend greatly on attracting
and retaining experienced management and highly qualified and trained
personnel. We compete with other companies intensely for qualified
and well trained professionals in our industry. If we cannot hire or retain, and
effectively integrate, a sufficient number of qualified and experienced
professionals, this will have a material adverse effect on our capacity to
sustain and grow our business and develop our products through the clinical
trial process and otherwise.
5. The
products we plan to develop may not satisfy regulatory requirements or become
commercially viable.
The
products that we plan to develop will require development, testing, and
investment in order to market them as prescription drugs. We cannot be sure that
our product research and development efforts will be successful, that candidates
will enter clinical studies as anticipated, that we will satisfy Good Laboratory
Practices (“GLP”), medical food or prescription drug requirements or that any
required regulatory approvals will be expeditiously applied for or obtained, or
that any products, if introduced, will be commercially successful. The results of pre-clinical
and other trials on products we plan to develop are not necessarily predictive
of results that will be obtained from large scale clinical testing. We cannot be
sure that clinical trials of the products under development will demonstrate the
safety and efficacy of such products or will result in a marketable
product. The
failure to demonstrate adequately the safety and efficacy of a therapeutic drug
product under development could delay or prevent regulatory approval, where
required, and delay or prevent commercial sale of the product, any of which
could have a material adverse effect on us. We may encounter
difficulties in manufacturing, process development and formulation activities
that could result in delays in clinical trials, regulatory submissions,
regulatory approvals and commercialization of our products, or cause negative
financial and competitive consequences. We cannot assure you that any product
will be successfully developed, be developed on a timely basis or prove to be
more effective than competing products based on existing or newly developed
technologies. The inability to successfully complete development, or a
determination by us, for financial or other reasons, not to undertake to
complete development of a product, particularly in instances in which we have
made significant capital expenditures, could have a material adverse effect on
us.
6. We
are dependent on new products and continued innovation.
The
pharmaceutical industry in general is characterized by rapid innovation and
advances. These advances result in frequent product introductions and short
product life cycles, requiring a high level of expenditures for research and
development and the timely introduction of new products. We believe our ability
to grow and succeed will be partially dependent upon our ability to introduce
new and innovative products into such markets. We cannot assure you that we will
be successful in our plans to introduce products to the market.
4
7. Intellectual
property rights may not protect our business.
We plan
to use a combination of patents, trademarks and trade secrets to protect any
proprietary intellectual property rights that we may develop or acquire. We
cannot assure you that patent and trademark registration applications will
result in issued patents and registered trademarks, or that, if issued, our
applications will be upheld if challenged. Further, even if granted, we cannot
assure you that these patents and trademarks will provide us with any protection
from competitors or, that if they do provide any meaningful level of protection,
that we will have the financial resources necessary to enforce our patent and
trademark rights. In addition, we cannot assure you that others will not
independently develop technologies similar to those covered by our pending
patents and trade secrets, or design around the pending patents. If others are
able to design around our patents, our results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. Further, we will have very limited, if any, protection of
our proprietary rights in those jurisdictions where we have not affected any
filings or where we fail to obtain protection through our filings. There can be
no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property
infringement claims against us with respect to products we may develop. We may
be responsible for defending against charges of infringement of third party
intellectual property rights by our actions and products and such assertion may
require us to refrain from the sale of our products, enter into royalty
arrangements or undertake costly litigation. Further, challenges may be
instituted by third parties as to the validity, enforceability and infringement
of our patents. Our adherence to industry standards with respect to our product
may limit our opportunities to provide proprietary features which may be
protected. In addition, the laws of various countries in which our product may
be sold may not protect our product and intellectual property rights to the same
extent as the laws of the United States.
8. The
validity of patents covering pharmaceutical and biotechnological inventions and
the scope of intellectual property claims made under such patents is uncertain;
Failure to secure necessary patents could impair our ability to produce and
market our products.
There is
no consistent policy regarding the breadth of intellectual property claims
permitted in specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology patents. In addition,
patents may have been granted, or may be granted, to others covering products or
processes that we need, or may need, for testing and developing our products. If
products or processes that we may develop infringe upon patents held by third
parties, or otherwise impermissibly utilize the intellectual property of others,
we might be unable to develop, manufacture, or sell such products. In such
event, we may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to use such
intellectual property. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain such
licenses on acceptable terms, or at all.
9. Failure
to develop, or contract for, an adequate sales and marketing organization, or
partner with a larger pharmaceutical company would result in the inability to
market and sell our products.
To market
any of products directly, we would have to develop a substantial marketing and
sales force. Alternatively, we may, for certain products, attempt to obtain the
assistance of larger pharmaceutical companies with established distributions
systems and direct sales forces. We do not know if we will be able to enter into
agreements with other companies to assist in the marketing and sales of our
products. If we are not able to sustain such marketing efforts, we may license
marketing rights to a third party. However, we cannot be sure that we would be
able to locate a qualified marketer or distributor or enter into any such agreement
on reasonable terms or at all.
5
10. We
own no manufacturing facilities and will be dependent on third parties to make
our products.
We own no
manufacturing facilities or equipment, and employ no manufacturing personnel. We
currently expect to use third parties to manufacture products we may develop on
a contract basis. We may not be able to obtain manufacturing services on
reasonable terms or at all. If we are not able to contract manufacturing
services, we will not be able to make our products.
11. We
will be required to comply with good manufacturing practices.
The
manufacture of our proposed products will be subject to current Good
Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP") prescribed by the United States Food and Drug
Administration (“FDA”) in the United States. We cannot give assurance that we or
any entity manufacturing products on our behalf will be able to comply with cGMP
or satisfy certain regulatory inspections in connection with the manufacture of
our proposed products. Failure or delay by any manufacturer of our products to
comply with cGMP or similar regulations or satisfy regulatory inspections would
have a material adverse effect on us.
12. Potential
side effects of our product could impair our ability to continue clinical
trials, obtain regulatory approval, or successfully market our
products.
It is
possible that, any time during clinical trials or patient usage, side effects of
products may be encountered. If they are common enough or significant enough,
this could result in the termination of clinical trials, denial of FDA approval,
the inability to market and sell our products, our products being withdrawn from
the market, or liability claims being asserted against us.
13. Our
products may not be accepted by physicians, patients or third party
payers.
Patients,
doctors and third-party payers must accept our products as medically useful and
cost effective for us to be successful. Doctors and patients are very important
constituents because they directly make all medical decisions. Third party
payers are also very important because they pay for a major portion of all
medical care expenses. Third party payers consist of health maintenance
organizations (“HMOs”), health insurers, managed care providers, Medicare and
Medicaid, and their equivalent organizations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
There can be no assurance that patients, doctors or third-party payers will
accept our products, even if approved for marketing, on a timely
basis.
14. Government
and private insurance plans may not pay for our products.
The
success of our products in the United States and other significant markets will
depend, in part, upon the extent to which a consumer will be able to obtain
reimbursement for the cost of such product from governmental authorities,
third-party payers and other organizations. We cannot determine in advance the
reimbursement status of newly approved therapeutic products. Even if a product
is approved for marketing, we cannot be sure that adequate reimbursement will be
available. Also, future legislation or regulation, or related announcements or
developments, concerning the healthcare industry, or third party or governmental
coverage and reimbursement, may adversely affect our business. In particular,
legislation or regulation limiting consumers' reimbursement rights could have a
material adverse effect on our business and revenues.
6
15. We
may lose any technological advantage because pharmaceutical research
technologies change rapidly.
The
pharmaceutical research field is characterized by rapid technological progress
and intense competition. As a result, our business strategy may not be
successful and our products may not reach the marketplace or be saleable.
Businesses, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and other public and
private research organizations, may conduct research to develop technologies
that may compete with our technologies. It is possible that competitors could
acquire or develop technologies that would render our technology obsolete or
noncompetitive. We cannot be certain that we will be able to access the same
technologies at an acceptable price, or at all.
16. We
may not be able to procure required insurance coverage.
We will
need to procure liability insurance coverage required by clinical investigators,
patients and other third parties with respect to clinical studies. There can be
no assurance that such coverage will be available to us or that, even if
available, we will be able to bear the expense of such insurance coverage.
Absent such coverage, we will not be able to perform required clinical
studies.
17. We
may be subject to product liability claims which could result in significant
losses and adverse product publicity.
We face
an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims and negative publicity
in the event that the use of our product results in injury. We face the risk
that materials used in the manufacture of the final product may be contaminated
with substances that may cause sickness or injury to persons who have used the
products, or that sickness or injury to persons may occur if the product
distributed by us is ingested in dosages that exceed the dosage recommended on
the product label. In the event that insurance coverage or contractual
indemnification is not adequate, product liability claims could have a material
adverse effect on our business. The successful assertion or settlement of any
uninsured claim, a significant number of insured claims, or a claim exceeding
any future insurance coverage, could have a material adverse effect on our
business. Additionally, negative publicity asserting that our products, or
similar products of others, may be harmful could have a material adverse effect
on our business, regardless of whether such reports are scientifically
supported, regardless of whether the harmful effects would be present at the
dosages recommended for such products, and regardless of whether such adverse
effects resulted from failure to consume the product as directed.
18. Intense competition may result in our inability to generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably.
The
pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. Numerous companies, many of which
are significantly larger than us, and which have greater financial, personnel,
distribution and other resources than us and may be better able to withstand
volatile market conditions, will compete with us in the development, manufacture
and marketing of probiotics for the treatment of GI disorders. There can be no
assurance that national or international companies will not seek to enter or
increase their presence in the industry. In addition, large nationally known
companies may compete with us and they have already spent millions of dollars to
develop treatments for GI disorders. Current or increased competition could have
a material adverse effect on our business, as many of our competitors have far
greater financial and other resources and possess extensive manufacturing,
distribution and marketing capabilities far greater than ours.
18. We
may be dependent on our collaborative agreements for the development of our
technologies and business development which exposes us to the risk of reliance
on the viability of third parties.
In
conducting research and development activities, we may rely upon numerous
collaborative agreements with universities, governmental agencies, charitable
foundations, manufacturers, contract research organizations, and corporate
partners. The loss of, or failure to perform under, any of these arrangements by
any of these entities may substantially disrupt or delay our research and
development activities.
7
19.
Since our officers and directors work or
consult for other companies, their activities could slow down our
operations.
Our
officers and directors are not required to work exclusively for us and do not
devote all of their time to our operations. Therefore, it is possible that a
conflict of interest with regard to their time may arise based on their
employment for other companies. Their other activities may prevent them from
devoting full-time to our operations which could slow our operations and may
reduce our financial results because of the slow down in
operations.
20. Due
to our limited marketing, sales, and distribution experience, we may be
unsuccessful in our efforts to sell our products, enter into relationships with
third parties, or develop a direct sales organization.
We have
no marketing, sales, or distribution capabilities. At the appropriate time, we
expect to enter into agreements with third parties to sell products we may
develop or we may develop our own sales and marketing force. We may be unable to
establish or maintain third party relationships on a commercially reasonable
basis, if at all. In addition, these third parties may have similar or more
established relationships with competitors who may exist after the introduction
of our existing products, if any. If we do not enter into relationships with
third parties for the sales and marketing of our products, we will need to
develop our own sales and marketing capabilities. We have no experience in
developing, training, or managing a sales force. We may be unable to build a
sales force on a cost effective basis or at all. Any such direct marketing and
sales efforts may prove to be unsuccessful. In addition, we will compete with
many other companies that currently have extensive marketing and sales
operations. We may be unable
to establish a sufficient sales and marketing organization on a timely basis, if
at all, and may be unable to engage qualified distributors. Even if engaged,
these distributors may:
• fail
to satisfy financial or contractual obligations;
• fail
to adequately market our assigned products;
• cease
operations with little or no notice; or
• offer,
design, manufacture, or promote competing products.
If we
fail to develop sales, marketing, and distribution channels, we would experience
delays in product sales and incur increased costs, which would harm our
financial results.
21. Our
principal stockholders, who are our officers and directors, own a controlling
interest in our voting stock. Therefore investors will not have any voice in our
management, which could result in decisions adverse to our general
shareholders.
Our
officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately or have
the right to vote 34.85% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these
stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control substantially
all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:
• election
of our board of directors;
• removal
of any of our directors;
• amendment
of our Articles of
Incorporation or bylaws; and
•
|
adoption
of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a
merger, takeover or other business combination involving
us.
|
8
As a
result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers
collectively are able to influence all matters requiring shareholder approval,
including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate
transactions. In addition, the future prospect of sales of significant amounts
of shares held by our directors and executive officers could affect the market
price of our common stock if the marketplace does not orderly adjust to the
increase in shares in the market and the value of your investment in the Company
may decrease. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential
acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of
us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from
realizing a premium over our stock price.
RISK
FACTORS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
22. We
may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce
investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of which 26,000,000 shares are
currently issued and outstanding. The future issuance of common stock may result
in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then
existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an
arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or
acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the
value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on
any trading market for our common stock.
23. Our
common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the trading market in our securities is limited,
which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an
investment in our stock.
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which
establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us,
as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or
with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the
investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's
account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (i) obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
(ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience
in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in
penny stocks.
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market,
which, in highlight form: (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer
made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received
a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the
transaction.
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
9
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend
to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our
business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in
the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be
able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them at a price higher
than that which they initially paid for such shares.
24. The
market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could
adversely impact investors in our stock.
We
believe that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and
abuse. Such patterns include:
·
|
Control
of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are
often related to the promoter or
issuer;
|
·
|
Manipulation
of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false
and misleading press releases;
|
·
|
"Boiler
room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic
price projections by inexperienced sales
persons;
|
·
|
Excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling
broker-dealers; and
|
The
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after
prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable
collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
25. The
offering price of our common stock could be higher than the market value,
causing investors to sustain a loss of their investment.
The price
of our common stock in this offering has not been determined by any independent
financial evaluation, market mechanism or by our auditors, and is therefore, to
a large extent, arbitrary. Our audit firm has not reviewed management's
valuation, and therefore expresses no opinion as to the fairness of the offering
price as determined by our management. As a result, the price of the common
stock in this offering may not reflect the value perceived by the market. There
can be no assurance that the shares offered hereby are worth the price for which
they are offered and investors may therefore lose a portion or all of their
investment.
10
26. State
securities
laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and
conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this
prospectus.
Secondary
trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state
until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities
laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in
certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the
state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption
for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the
common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of
that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit
secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could
be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your
investment.
27. Currently
there is no public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances
that any public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted
for trading and, even if quoted, it is likely to be subject to significant price
fluctuations.
There has
not been any established trading market for our common stock, and there is
currently no public market whatsoever for our securities. Additionally, no
public trading can occur until we file and have declared effective a
registration statement with the SEC. There can be no assurances as to whether,
subsequent to registration with the SEC:
·
|
any
market for our shares will develop;
|
·
|
the
prices at which our common stock will trade;
or
|
·
|
the
extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an
active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally
result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and
sell orders for investors.
|
In
addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts,
and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock.
Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price
of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly
market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is
likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be
determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including
the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock,
developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors
referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of our company
and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given
that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common
stock.
28. If
a market develops for our shares, sales of our shares relying upon Rule 144 may
depress prices in that market by a material amount.
The
majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock held by present
stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may
be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement, such as this one
(for the shares registered hereunder) or under the requirements of Rule 144 or
other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required
under applicable state securities laws. On November 15, 2007, the SEC adopted
changes to Rule 144, which, would shorten the holding period for sales by
non-affiliates to six months (subject to extension under certain circumstances)
and remove the volume limitations for such persons. The changes
became effective in February 2008. Rule 144 provides in essence that an
affiliate who has held restricted securities for a prescribed period may, under
certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number
of shares that does not exceed 1% of a company's outstanding common stock. The
alternative average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior
to the sale is not available to our shareholders being that the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board (if and when listed thereon) is not an "automated
quotation system" and, accordingly, market based volume limitations are not
available for securities quoted only over the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board.
As a result of the revisions to Rule 144 discussed above, there is no limit on
the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a
stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least
90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner
for a period of six months, if we have filed our required reports.. A sale
under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or
pursuant to registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may
have a depressive effect upon the price of our common stock in any market that
may develop.
11
29. We
may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your
rights as holders of our common stock.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of
"blank check" preferred stock, none of which are issued and outstanding.
Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine
the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the
authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. As a
result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of
preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon
liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to
holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred
shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To
the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your
rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without
limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of
preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a
change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be
in your interest as holders of common stock
30. We
may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
If we
become registered with the SEC, we will be required, pursuant to
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to include in our annual
report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting. We do not have a sufficient number of employees to
segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or
engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of
employees.
31. Because
we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain
corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against
interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar
matters.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the
SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a
result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures
relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the
integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to
securities which are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate
governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial
additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than necessary, we
have not yet adopted these measures.
Because
none of our directors are independent, we do not currently have independent
audit or compensation committees. As a result, the director has the ability,
among other things, to determine his own level of compensation. Until we comply
with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance
is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our
stockholders without protections against interested director transactions,
conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to
provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
12
32. The
costs to meet our reporting and other requirements as a public company subject
to the Exchange Act of 1934 will be substantial and may result in us having
insufficient funds to expand our business or even to meet routine business
obligations.
If we
become a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act of 1934, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees
for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy
statements. We estimate that these costs will range up to $25,000 per year for
the next few years and will be higher if our business volume and activity
increases but lower during the first year of being public because our overall
business volume will be lower, and we will not yet be subject to the
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result,
we may not have sufficient funds to grow our operations.
This
prospectus relates to the resale by certain selling security holders of the
Company of up to 15,700,000 shares of our common stock. Such shares
were offered and sold by us at a purchase price of $0.003 per share to the
selling security holders in a fully subscribed private placement conducted from
November through December 2009 pursuant to the exemptions from registration
under the Securities Act provided by Regulation D of the Securities
Act.
The
selling stockholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this
prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from
the resale of these shares. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the
registration of the shares for the selling stockholders.
The
selling stockholders will be offering the shares of common stock being covered
by this prospectus at a fixed price of $0.05 per share until a market develops
and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The
fixed price of $0.05 has been determined as the selling price based upon the
original purchase price paid by the selling shareholders of $0.003 plus an
increase based on the fact the shares will be liquid and
registered.
Such
offering price does not have any relationship to any established criteria of
value, such as book value or earnings per share. Because we have no significant
operating history, the price of our common stock is not based on past earnings,
nor is the price of our common stock indicative of the current market value of
the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our
business and potential business expansion. Our common stock is presently not
traded on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing
or quotation on any public market.
13
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or
our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”,
“plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or
“continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the
section entitled “Risk Factors,” that may cause our or our industry’s actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements.
While
these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based,
are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction
of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially,
from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future
performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including
the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the
forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual
results.
The
following table sets forth the shares beneficially owned, as of February 12,
2010, by the selling security holders prior to the offering contemplated by this
prospectus, the number of shares each selling security holder is offering by
this prospectus and the number of shares which each would
own beneficially if
all such offered shares are
sold.
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. Under these rules, a
person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or
shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of
the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct
the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner
of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership
within 60 days. Under the SEC rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a
beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a
beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary
beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and
investment power.
None of
the selling security holders is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a
registered broker-dealer. Each of the selling security holders has
acquired his, her or its shares pursuant to a private placement solely for
investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of such
securities. The shares were offered and sold to the selling security
holders at a purchase price of $0.003 per share in a fully subscribed private
placement held from November through December 2009, pursuant to the
exemption from the registration under the Securities Act provided by Regulation
D of the Securities Act. None of the selling security holders are
affiliates or controlled by our affiliates and none of the selling security
holders are now or were at any time in the past an officer or director of ours
or any of any of our predecessors or affiliates.
The
percentages below are calculated based on 26,000,000 shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding as of February 12, 2010. We do not have any outstanding
options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares
of our common stock.

offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any
statement in this prospectus, or the related registration statement, untrue in
any material respect, or that requires the changing of statements in these
documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading. We will
file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to reflect any
material changes to this prospectus.
There has
been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded on
any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the effective date of the
registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market
maker file an application with FINRA for our common stock to be eligible for
trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market
maker who has agreed to file such application. The selling security
holders will be offering the shares of common stock being covered by this
prospectus at a fixed price of $0.05 per share until a market develops and
thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The fixed
price of $0.05 has been determined as the selling price based upon the original
purchase price paid by the selling shareholders of $0.003 plus an increase based
on the fact the shares will be liquid and registered.
Once
a market has been developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or
distributed from time to time by the selling security holders directly to one or
more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be
changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the
following methods: (a) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which
the broker solicits purchasers; (b) privately negotiated transactions; (c)
market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal
securities laws); (d) at the market to or through market makers or into an
existing market for the shares; (e) through transactions in options, swaps or
other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and (f) a combination
of any of the aforementioned methods of sale.
16
In the
event of the transfer by any of the selling security holders of its common
shares to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus
and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the
filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or
other transferee in place of the selling security holder who has transferred
his, her or its shares.
In
effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling security holders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from a selling security holder or, if any of
the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a
purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those
customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a
selling security holder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock
at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the
broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the
price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling security
holder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the
selling security holder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as
principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in
transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other
broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales
by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time
of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated
transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or
receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described
above.
The
selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with
the selling security holders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common
stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.
From time
to time, any of the selling security holders may pledge shares of common stock
pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements with brokers. Upon a
default by a selling security holder, their broker may offer and sell the
pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of
common stock, the selling security holders intend to comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to
each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other
necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required
in the event any of the selling security holders defaults under any customer
agreement with brokers.
To the
extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this
registration statement will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers,
the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common
stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to
such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct
any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference
in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction.
We and
the selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without
limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as a selling security holder is a
distribution participant and we, under certain circumstances, may be a
distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect
the marketability of the common stock.
17
All
expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal,
accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any
commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection
with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling
security holders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or
both.
Any
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under
Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
Penny
Stock Regulations
You
should note that our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9
which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a
market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered
by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and
"accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which
provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with
current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account
statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's
account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson
compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing
prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing
before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules
require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that
the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently,
these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our
securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest
in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
Blue
Sky Restrictions on Resale
If a
selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this
registration statement in the United States, the selling security holders will
also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,”
with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of
exemption from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for
example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for securities of
issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial
information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard &
Poor’s. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to
advise a selling security holder which states our common stock is exempt from
registration with that state for secondary sales.
Any
person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder
under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also
have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.
18
When the
registration statement becomes effective, and a selling security holder
indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to
identify whether it will need to register or will rely on an exemption there
from.
The
following description of our capital stock is a summary and is qualified in its
entirety by the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation which has been filed
as an exhibit to our registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part.
Common
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of
which 26,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of February 12,
2010. Each holder of shares of our common stock is entitled to one
vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to the vote of
stockholders, including the election of directors. The holders of
shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or
cumulative voting rights. There is no provision in our Articles of
Incorporation or By-laws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control
of our Company.
Preferred
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, none
of which is issued and outstanding. Our board of directors has the
right, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with rights
superior to the rights of the holders of shares of common stock. As a result,
preferred shares could be issued quickly and easily, negatively affecting the
rights of holders of common shares and could be issued with terms calculated to
delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more
difficult. Because we may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in
order to raise capital for our operations, your ownership interest may be
diluted which results in your percentage of ownership in us
decreasing.
Warrants
and Options
Currently,
there are no warrants, options or other convertible securities
outstanding.
No expert
or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of
this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities
being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration
or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or
is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly
or indirectly, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was
any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents,
subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee,
director, officer or employee.
History
We were
incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 2,
2009. We are an early stage company, with plans to engage in the
development of proprietary probiotic bio-therapeutic products for the treatment
of various gastrointestinal disorders. We intend to market these products as
FDA-approved prescription drugs.
19
Strategy
We intend
to pursue our business plan of developing prescription biologics and drugs for
treating various gastrointestinal disorders, subject to the availability of
funding. We currently intend to finance the development of our business,
including our prescription drug development efforts, from outside sources
including through the sale of equity, debt or convertible securities, third
party financing and strategic partnering.
Overview
We are an
early stage biopharmaceutical company with plans to focus on the identification,
licensing and development of treatments for GI disorders, such as pouchitis,
irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and
Clostridium difficile (“C. difficile”) infections, that we believe are poorly
addressed by current therapies.
Regulatory
Considerations
Enterologics
currently does not have any products in development. Our intended
products, probiotic bacteria, fall into the class of biologics. Our
current regulatory strategy involves pursuing FDA approvals of biologic products
we may develop as prescription medications. Industry studies indicate
that it takes approximately eight to 10 years for the average prescription drug
or biologic to progress from the IND filing to market
introduction. Biologics are derived from living organisms and include
a wide range of products such as vaccines, blood and blood components,
allergenics, somatic cells, gene therapy, tissues, and recombinant therapeutic
proteins. Biologics can be composed of sugars, proteins, or nucleic acids or
complex combinations of these substances, or may be living entities such as
cells and tissues. Biologics are isolated from a variety of natural sources —
human, animal, or microorganism — and may be produced by biotechnology methods
and other cutting-edge technologies. Gene-based and cellular biologics, for
example, often are at the forefront of biomedical research, and may be used to
treat a variety of medical conditions for which no other treatments are
available.
Biologics
are approved for marketing under the provisions of the Public Health Service
(PHS) Act. The Act requires a firm who manufactures a biologic for
sale in the United States to hold a license for the product. A biologics license
application (BLA) is such an application. The BLA is a submission that contains
specific biologic product information on the manufacturing processes, quality
assessments, pharmacology, clinical pharmacology and the medical affects of the
biologic product. If the information provided meets FDA requirements, the
application is approved and a license is issued allowing the firm to market the
product in the US. A BLA is issued for approved biologics and a New
Drug Application (NDA) is issued for drugs. Each BLA includes information that
is specific for the process and facility where the biologic product is
manufactured, tested, and stored.
A
prescription drug or biologic can be assigned orphan drug status by the FDA and
European regulatory authorities if the indication addresses a target population
of less than 200,000 sufferers in the U.S. or less than 5 sufferers per 10,000
persons in Europe. There is a separate Office of Orphan Drug Product Development
at the FDA designed to help facilitate rapid approval of orphan drug
applications. Once approved, orphan drugs are given seven year exclusivity in
the U.S. and ten years of exclusivity in Europe. Additional benefits of
receiving orphan drug status in the U.S. include study design assistance, a 50%
reduction in the filing cost of the NDA/BLA (new drug application/biological
licensing application) and may also include partial funding of clinical costs by
the FDA. The NDA/BLA requests permission from FDA to market a drug in the U.S.
In Europe, a drug product is filed with the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) for
marketing throughout the European Commission area. The EMEA has a Committee for
Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) whereby drugs are designated "orphan drug"
status for the European Union.
20
Before an
experimental drug or biologic can be sold over the counter or with a
prescription, it must undergo rigorous testing. Clinical trials are studies done
with human subjects to answer specific questions about the new biologic product.
The questions that are usually asked in a clinical trial involve the safety and
effectiveness of the product in humans. The results of these clinical studies
define the ways to use the potentially new product in humans. Carefully
conducted and well controlled sound clinical trials are the fastest and safest
way to test if a biotech drug or treatment is safe and effective in humans. The
entire development of a new product can take up to nine years, over which time
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) carefully reviews each study before,
during and after the study is started. There are many factors that can influence
the overall time for the biological approval process.
Clinical
trials proceed in several well-defined phases, beginning with a demonstration
that the proposed product is safe in animal or cell-culture based studies before
it is tested for the first time in humans, and ending with the product being
approved for marketing by the FDA or corresponding regulatory agency in Europe
and elsewhere. The stages of development generally proceed as
follows:
·
|
Non-clinical
studies. An experimental drug or biologic
that is examined in a test tube experiments or in animal experiments is
referred to as non-clinical research. The non-clinical research that
occurs before an experimental drug or biologic is tested in humans is
called pre-clinical research. If early pre-clinical research in animal
studies shows that the product appears to be safe, the company will then
provide this information to the FDA along with a request to begin testing
of the experimental drug in humans. This request is referred to as an IND
or an Investigational New Drug application. It is estimated that only
about 0.1% (or one in one thousand) compounds developed in laboratories
pass the pre-clinical studies and advance to FDA-regulated clinical
trials. All studies monitor the safety of the product in
humans.
|
·
|
Phase 1
trials. Researchers test their experimental product in a
small group of people (20-100) to determine the metabolic and
pharmacologic actions of the product, the side effects that may be
associated with increasing doses, and any early evidence of effectiveness.
These early studies could last up to 2-3 years before moving on to the
next phase of study (Phase 2). About 70% of the early phase studies move
the experimental product into Phase 2
studies.
|
·
|
Phase 2
trials. A larger population of subjects (up to 300) is
included in this phase of study. It is here that the experimental product
can be test in comparison to another product or a placebo, to see if the
experimental product offers any benefit of effectiveness. The comparison
of the product with another group is called a “controlled study”, and a
comparison of the 2 or more groups is made for safety, effectiveness.
These Phase 2 studies also help to define the dose and frequency of dosing
for this disease. It is in the Phase 2 study that some indication of the
potential benefits and risks associated with the use of the experimental
product can be first seen. This phase could last up to 2 years, before
moving on to the next phase of study (Phase 3). About 50%
of the early phase studies move the experimental product into Phase 3
studies.
|
21
·
|
Phase 3
trials. The decision to pursue a Phase 3 study is
a big decision given the time and enormous costs to conduct a pivotal
trial. Results from these Phase 3 studies will provide the necessary data
for the FDA to make its final decision on approving the experimental
product and awarding a BLA. These studies also provide the needed
information for the drug dosing and administration. These studies are
usually large studies (several hundred to thousands) using control groups
that are designed to confirm the experimental product’s effectiveness and
safety when used in the target clinical population. In general, these
studies may last several years and of those experimental products that
successfully complete this phase of study, approximately 70-90% achieve
marketing approval in the US.
|
·
|
Filing of NDA or BLA
for marketing approval. After the successful completion
of clinical phases of the experimental product’s development, Phases 1-3,
a company will assemble and submit to the FDA the results of these studies
to obtain marketing authorization to the public, which comes as a BLA for
a biologic product and a NDA for a drug product. The license process under
FDA review could take anywhere from 12-18 months. Enterologics
anticipates that most of its products will be approved via the BLA
pathway.
|
·
|
Phase 4
trials. The FDA may request post-marketing clinical
and/or non-clinical studies to define additional information (for example,
risks, benefits, and optimal use) for the new
product.
|
In
addition to a proposed product moving through the development stages outlined
above, a particular product may qualify for special designation by the FDA or
corresponding regulatory agency, depending on the clinical need for the product
or the size of the population with the particular disease that the product is
intended to treat.
·
|
Fast track approval
status. If granted by the FDA, fast track approval
status allows for expedited review and approval. This could reduce the FDA
product approval time to 6 months.
|
·
|
Orphan product
status is granted to drugs or biologics addressing patient
populations of less then 200,000. The FDA, through the Orphan Drug Act of
1983, grants seven-year market exclusivity and tax breaks to companies
with Orphan drugs. Additional benefits of receiving orphan drug status in
the U.S. include FDA assistance with clinical study design, a 50%
reduction in the costs of filing for the marketing authorization (NDA or
BLA) and potentially partial FDA funding of clinical
costs.
|
The
clinical trial process is an important part of biotechnology drug development,
and investors who understand this process are most likely to make informed and
educated investment decisions.
Manufacturing
We do not
have manufacturing facilities. Any products that we develop will be required to
be manufactured in a facility maintained and operated under FDA laboratory and
current good manufacturing procedure (“cGMP”) requirements as a prescription
drug or biologic product.
The manufacturer of any
future product, whether done
by third-party contractors or internally, will
be subject to
rigorous regulations, including the need to
comply with the FDA's cGMP standards. As part of obtaining FDA
approval for a product, manufacturing facilities must be inspected, approved by
and registered with the FDA. For a biologic, this includes licensing of the
facility under a BLA. In addition to obtaining FDA approval of
the prospective manufacturer's quality control and
manufacturing procedures, domestic and foreign manufacturing
facilities are subject to periodic inspection by
the FDA and/or foreign regulatory
authorities which have the authority to suspend or withdraw
approvals.
22
Intellectual
Property
We do not
have any intellectual property rights. However, we may use a combination of
patents, trademarks and trade secrets to protect any intellectual property we
may develop.
Competition
We
currently have no products or drugs in commercial production. Accordingly, we do
not compete with any product or in any market or industry. While
there is no assurance that we will develop any products capable of
commercialization, we believe that competition, should we develop products which
obtain regulatory clearances required for commercialization, will be intense
competition from large pharmaceuticals companies with resources far greater than
ours and which have been in business longer than us and have established brand
recognition and consumer loyalty. We will compete based on factors including,
effectiveness of our products for the approved indications, delivery, price,
insurance availability, price, quality, service and distribution.
Governmental
Regulations
The manufacturing and marketing
of drug and drug delivery and research and
development activities are subject
to regulation for
safety, efficacy and quality
by numerous governmental authorities in
the United States and other countries. Compliance with
these regulations will involve a considerable amount of time, expense and
uncertainty.
In the
United States, drugs are subject to rigorous federal regulation and, to a lesser
extent, state regulation. The United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the
regulations promulgated thereunder, and other federal and
state statutes and regulations govern, among other things,
the testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, record
keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of
drugs. Drug development and approval within
this regulatory framework is difficult to predict and will
take a number of years and involve material expenditures that are difficult to
accurately projected but
which will exceed our
current resources and will require additional
funding.
We will
be subject to a variety of state laws and regulations relating to, among other
things, advertising, pricing, charging and collecting state sales or use tax and
product safety/restrictions. We will be subject to certain federal,
state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment and human health and safety.
Employees
We
currently have no employees. All functions including development, strategy,
negotiations and administration are currently being provided by our executive
officers on a voluntary basis.
23
The
Company currently maintains its executive offices, which consist of
approximately 1,050
square feet at 657 Central Avenue, Cedarhurst, New York 11516 in space provided
to us by Lisa Grossman, our secretary. We are not paying
anything for this space and believe that its current office space will be
adequate for the foreseeable future.
There are
no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any director,
officer or affiliate of ours, any owner of record or beneficially of more than
5% of any class of our voting securities, or security holder is a party adverse
to us or has a material interest adverse to us. The Company’s
property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
Market
Information
There has
been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded on any
exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the effective date of the
registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market
maker file an application with the FINRA for our common stock to be eligible for
trading on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market
maker who has agreed to file such application. There is no assurance that a
trading market will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained.
Consequently, a purchaser of our common stock may find it difficult to resell
the securities offered herein should the purchaser desire to do so when eligible
for public resale.
We have
not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we
do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable
future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any,
in the future, will be at the
discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend
on our then current
financial condition, results of operations,
capital requirements and other
factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.
There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay
dividends.
Security
Holders
As of
February 12, 2010, there were 26,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding,
which were held by 53 stockholders of record.
Transfer
Agent
We have
not engaged a transfer agent to serve as transfer agent for shares of our common
stock. Until we engage such a transfer agent, we will be responsible
for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with the
shares of our common stock.
24
Admission
to Quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board
We intend
to have a market maker file an application for our common stock to be quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board. However, we do not have a market maker that has agreed
to file such application. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or
to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC
Bulletin Board differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that
it:
(1) is
not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids,
offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and
(2)
securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more broker-dealers
rather than the "specialist" common to stock exchanges.
To
qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have
one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or
sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. If they meet the
qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board our securities
will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. We may not now or ever qualify for
quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. We currently have no market maker who is
willing to list quotations for our securities.
Certain
statements contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding the
development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current
expectations, primarily with respect to the future operating performance of
Enterologics, Inc., and the products we plan to offer and other statements
contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are
"forward-looking" statements. Future filings with the SEC, future press releases
and future oral or written statements made by us or with our approval, which are
not statements of historical fact, may contain forward-looking statements,
because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
All
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are
made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect
events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are
made.
Overview
We are an
early stage company, with plans to engage in the development of proprietary
probiotic bio-therapeutic products for the treatment of various gastrointestinal
disorders. We intend to market these products as FDA approved prescription
drugs. We intend on using the proceeds of $47,100 from the sale of
15,700,000 shares of our common stock, which were offered in a fully subscribed
private placement from November through December 2009. We do not
believe that such funds will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses over
the next twelve months.
Over the
next twelve months, the Company intends to focus on establishing business
operations, recruiting additional management to guide the development program,
engaging expert consultants to assist in identifying products and intellectual
property for in-licensing and further development, evaluating and expanding the
intellectual property coverage for those products, and establishing the clinical
and regulatory development program for the first in-licensed
product.
The
Company estimates that it will require an approximate minimum of $1,000,000 in
the next 12 months to implement its activities. The following chart indicates
how we would utilize such funds:

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, the Company had a cash balance of $43,694. The Company does
not believe that such funds will be sufficient to fund its expenses over the
next twelve months. The Company raised $47,100 in a fully subscribed
private placement of its common stock. There can be no assurance that
additional capital will be available to the Company. The Company currently has
no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds
through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the
Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to
raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its
ability to remain a viable company.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements.

other reporting companies. None of our directors or officers has been
affiliated with any company that has filed for bankruptcy within the last five
years. We are not aware of any proceedings to which any of our
officers or directors, or any associate of any such officer or director, is a
party adverse to us or any of our or has a material interest adverse to us or
any of our subsidiaries.
Each
director of the Company serves for a term of one year or until such director’s

the pleasure of the board of directors, for a term of one year and until such
officer’s successor is duly elected and is qualified.
Code
of Ethics; Financial Expert
We do not
currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial
and accounting officers. We do not have a “financial expert” on the board or an
audit committee or nominating committee.
Potential
Conflicts of Interest
Since we
do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent
directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are
performed by our directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of
interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine
issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect
management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of
interest with any of our executives or directors.
We are
not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or
national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time
required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”
We do not believe that any of our directors currently meet the definition of
“independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of the American Stock
Exchange.
Summary

incorporation on September 2, 2009 we have not paid any compensation to our

stock of our company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity
known to our company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the
outstanding common stock; (ii) each named executive officer and director of our

to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and
management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial
ownership” concepts under the rules of the SEC. Under these rules, a person is
deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares
voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the
security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the
voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of
any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership
within 60 days. Under the SEC rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a
beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a
beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary
beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and
investment power.
The
percentages below are calculated based on 26,000,000 shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding as of February 12, 2010. We do not have any
outstanding options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible
into shares of our common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the

500,000, 500,000 and 7,800,000 shares of our common stock to Dr. Hoerr, Dr.
Levitan, Mr. Welwart and Mrs. Grossman, respectively, our executive officers and

consideration of $1,030. This transaction was conducted in reliance
upon an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each issuance was made in
reliance upon an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each of the above persons is a
founder of our Company and had access to all of the information which would be
required to be included in a registration statement, and the transaction did not
involve a public offering.
On March

loan was unsecured, accured interest at 5% per annum and matured on January 31,
2010. The loan and accrued interest thereon was paid in full on January 31,
2010. Our secretary, Ms. Lisa Grossman, is the vice president of The Meister
Group.The Meister Group also provides us with offices at no cost.
Other
than as set forth above, there are no transactions during the last two years, or
proposed transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which any of
the following persons had or is to have a direct or indirect material
interest:
·

We have
agreed to pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale to the public of
the shares being registered other than any commissions and discounts of
underwriters, dealers or agents and any transfer taxes, which shall be borne by

David
Lubin & Associates, PLLC has opined on the validity of the shares of common
stock being offered hereby.
The
financial statements included in this prospectus and in the registration
statement have been audited by Webb & Company, P.A. an independent
registered public accounting firm, to the extent and for the period set forth in
their report appearing elsewhere herein and in the registration statement, and
are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm
as experts in auditing and accounting.
Our
By-laws provide to the fullest extent permitted by law, our directors or
officers, former directors and officers, and persons who act at our request as a
director or officer of a body corporate of which we are a shareholder or
creditor shall be indemnified by us. We believe that the indemnification
provisions in our By-laws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons
as directors and officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
We have
filed a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act with the SEC
for the securities offered hereby. This prospectus, which constitutes a part of
the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in
the registration statement or the exhibits and schedules which are part of the
registration statement. For additional information about us and our securities,
we refer you to the registration statement and the accompanying exhibits and
schedules. Statements contained in this prospectus regarding the contents of any
contract or any other documents to which we refer are not necessarily complete.
In each instance, reference is made to the copy of the contract or document
filed as an exhibit to the registration statement, and each statement is
qualified in all respects by that reference. Copies of the registration
statement and the accompanying exhibits and schedules may be inspected without
charge (and copies may be obtained at prescribed rates) at the public reference
facility of the SEC at Room 1024, 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C.
20549.
You can
request copies of these documents upon payment of a duplicating fee by writing
to the SEC. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on
the operation of its public reference rooms. Our filings, including the
registration statement, will also be available to you on the Internet web site
maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors of: Enterologics, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Enterologics, Inc. (the "Company") as
of December 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from September 2. 2009
(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 audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Enterologics,
Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the period from September 2, 2009 (Inception) to December 31. 2009
then ended 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 5 to the
financial statements. the Company has a net loss of 58.099 and a negative
cash flow from operations of $7,916. 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 5. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE PERIOD SEPTEMBER 2, 2009 (INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 2009
NOTE 1
|
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
(A)
Organization
Enterologics,
Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 2,
2009
to develop, test, and
obtain regulatory approvals for, manufacturing, commercializing and selling new
prescription drug products.
Activities
during the development stage include developing the business plan, acquiring
technology 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 the Company did not have
any balances that exceeded FDIC insurance limits.
(F)
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 there were
no common share equivalents outstanding.
(G) Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of the Company's accounts payable, accrued expenses and
notes payable - related partyapproximate fair value due to the relatively short
period to maturity for these instruments.
(H)
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.

As of
December 31, 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $8,099
available to offset future taxable income through 2029. This results
in deferred tax assets of $3,126 as of December 31, 2009. The valuation
allowance at December 31, 2008 was $0. The change in the valuation allowance for
the year ended December 31, 2009 was an increase of $3,126 .

(I)
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 Company is
evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 860 will have on its
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 Company is evaluating the
impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 810 will have on its 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 Adpotion of FASB ASC No.
105 did not have a impact on our financial statements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
On March
23, 2009 a related party loaned $3,500 to the Company for initial start-up
costs. The loan is unsecured, carries an interest rate of 5%, and matures on
January 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2009 the Company recorded
accrued interest of $135. (See Note 6).
NOTE
5
|
GOING CONCERN
|
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the
development stage with no operations, a net loss of $8,099 and used cash in
operations of $7,916. 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.

INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
Our
officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the
Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its
shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is
specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Our
Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit our directors'
immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to
deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in
which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of
criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or
her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Our
bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent
of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors
and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify
any director or officer in connection with
any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such
indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the
proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in
our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under Nevada law or (d)
is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our
bylaws also provide that we may indemnify a director or former director of
subsidiary corporation and we may indemnify our officers, employees or agents,
or the officers, employees or agents of a subsidiary corporation and the heirs
and personal representatives of any such person, against all expenses incurred
by the person relating to a judgment, criminal charge, administrative action or
other proceeding to which he or she is a party by reason of being or having been
one of our directors, officers or employees.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to our directors, officers and control persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy, and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(a)(1)
File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change
in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
(iii) Include any additional or changed
material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For
determining liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement of the securities offered,
and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering.
(3) File
a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities
that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For
determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to
any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of
the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or
prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus
relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant
or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free
writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information
about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an
offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the
purchaser.
(b)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.
33
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
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
(c) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any
purchaser:
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.
