VACATION HOME SWAP, INC.


4,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK


Prior to this registration, there has been no public trading market for the common stock of Vacation Home Swap, Inc.  (“Vacation Home Swap”) and it is not presently traded on any market or securities exchange. 4,000,000 shares of common stock are being offered for sale by the Company to the public.  A public market for the Company’s common stock may never develop, or, if any market does develop, it may not be sustained. 4,000,000 shares of common stock are being offered for sale by the Company to the public at an offering price of $0.02 per share.  


The price per share will be $0.02 for the duration of the offering. The offering will be open for 90 days after this registration statement becomes effective unless extended for an additional period of 90 days by the Company.

After the effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market maker file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority 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 can be no assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on a stock exchange or a quotation service or that any market for our stock will develop.

RISK FACTORS

Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus relating to our business and prospects before deciding to invest in our common stock.

This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.



The Company considers the following to be the most significant material risks to an investor regarding this offering. Vacation Home Swap should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount. Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.

THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT VACATION HOME SWAP ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

Our auditor’s report on our April 30, 2009 and January 31, 2010 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Since our sole officer and director may be unable to loan or advance additional monies to, we believe that if we do not raise additional monies within 12 months of the effective date of this registration statement, we may be required to suspend the implementation of our business plans. You may be investing in a company that will not have the funds necessary to continue to its business strategies. See “April 30, 2009 Audited and January 31, 2010 Financial Statements - Auditors Report.”

As the company has been issued an opinion by its auditors that substantial doubt exists as to whether the company can continue as a going concern, it may be more difficult for the company to attract investors.  

Risks Related To Our Financial Condition

SINCE THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES OPERATING EXPENSES WILL INCREASE PRIOR TO EARNING REVENUE, WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.

The company anticipates increases in its operating expenses, without realizing any revenues from its products. Within the next 12 months, these increases in expenses will be attributed to the cost of (i) procuring the computer hardware and software systems required to set up a website,(ii) attract customers from other similar website through advertisings, (ii) website cost, (iii)magazine advertisings (iv) other general corporate and working capital purposes.

In funding space for offices along with the cost of webmasters, the company will incur significant financial losses in the future. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that the company will prove to be a success. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our online transaction services will attract customers away from the customer base of established exchange programs providers and generate any operating revenue or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unable to address these risks, there is a high probability that our business will fail, which will result in the loss of your entire investment.

IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADEQUATE FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

We will require additional capital over the next twelve months, to set up advertising on other websites and to advertise with various Internet search engines. We will require additional funds to establish our client base through advertising in various travel and home design magazines throughout the world. If we are not successful in earning revenues once we have established our initial product offering and commenced business operations, we may require additional financing to sustain business operations. Currently, we do not have any arrangements for financing and can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to obtain financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the company’s ability to attract customers away from the customer base of established home exchange providers. These factors may have an effect on the timing, terms, or conditions of additional financing, and make such additional financing unavailable to us. See “Description of Business.”

No assurance can be given that the company will obtain access to capital markets in the future or that financing, adequate to satisfy the cash requirements of implementing our business strategies, will be available on acceptable



terms. The inability of the company to gain access to capital markets or obtain acceptable financing could have a material adverse effect upon the results of its operations and upon its financial conditions.

Risks Related To This Offering

THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR STOCK


There is no traded public market for the company’s common stock at the present time. There are no assurances that any public market will be established or maintained for the company’s stock. As a result, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to the company’s shares have been arbitrarily determined by the company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. Additionally, as the company was formed recently and has only a limited operating history and no earnings, the price of the offered shares is not based on its past earnings and no banker/appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.


INVESTING IN THE COMPANY IS A HIGHLY SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT AND COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.


A purchase of the offered shares is significantly speculative and involves substantial risks. The offered shares should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford the loss of their entire purchase price. The business objectives of the company are also speculative and we may be unable to satisfy those objectives. The shareholders of the company may be unable to realize a substantial return on their purchase of the offered shares, or any return whatsoever, and may lose their entire investment in the company. For this reason, each prospective purchaser of the offered shares should read this prospectus and all of its exhibits carefully and consult with their attorney, business advisor and/or investment advisor.


INVESTORS WILL PAY MORE FOR VACATION HOME SWAP’S COMMON STOCK THAN THE PRO RATA PORTION OF OUR ASSETS ARE WORTH; AS A RESULT, INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK MAY RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS.


The offering price and other terms and conditions regarding the company’s shares have been arbitrarily determined by the company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. Additionally, since the company has recently formed and has only a limited operating history and no earnings, the price of the offered shares is not based on its past earnings. No investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted about the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.


The arbitrary offering price of $0.02 per common share as determined herein is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of Vacation Home Swap common stock. Vacation Home Swap assets do not substantiate a share price of $0.02 per share. This premium in share price applies to the terms of this offering and does not attempt to reflect any forward looking share price subsequent to the company obtaining a listing on any exchange, or becoming quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.


SINCE THE COMPANY HAS 75,000,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES, THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT COULD ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES, DILUTING THE COMPANY’S CURRENT SHARE HOLDERS’ EQUITY.


The company has 75,000,000 authorized shares, of which only 10, 000,000 are currently issued and outstanding and only 14, 000,000 will be issued and outstanding after this offering terminates. The company’s management could, without the consent of the company’s existing shareholders, issue substantially more shares, causing large dilution in the equity position of the company’s current shareholders. Additionally, large share issuances by the



company would generally have a negative impact on the company’s share price. It is possible that, due to additional share issuance, you could lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment.


AS WE DO NOT HAVE AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT FOR INVESTORS' SUBSCRIPTIONS, IF WE FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION OR ARE FORCED INTO BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION, INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.


Invested funds for this offering will not be placed in a trust account. Accordingly, if we file for bankruptcy protection, or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. As such, you will lose your investments and your funds will be used to pay creditors and will not be used for Vacation Home Swap.

SINCE WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY, WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS IN THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE AND AS SUCH OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT UNLESS THEY SELL THEIR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the near future, but plan rather to retain earnings, if any, for growth and expansion of our business.  Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.  There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.

AS WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CREATE OR SUSTAIN A MARKET FOR THE COMPANY’S SHARES, THEY MAY BE EXTREMELY VOLATILE.

If no market develops, the holders of our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares. Further, even if a market develops, our common stock will be subject to fluctuations and volatility.


The company cannot apply directly to be quoted on the Nasdaq’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC Bulletin Board”). Additionally, the stock may be listed or traded only to the extent that there is interest by broker-dealers in acting as a market maker in the company’s stock. Despite the company’s best efforts, the company may not be able to convince any broker/dealers to act as market-makers and make quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board. The company may consider pursuing a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board after this registration becomes effective and the company has completed its offering.


IN THE EVENT THAT THE COMPANY’S SHARES ARE TRADED, THEY MAY TRADE UNDER $5.00 PER SHARE AND THUS WILL BE A PENNY STOCK. TRADING IN PENNY STOCKS HAS MANY RESTRICTIONS AND THESE RESTRICTIONS COULD SEVERLY AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDITY OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES.


In the event that our shares are traded, and our stock trades below $5.00 per share, our stock would be known as a “penny stock”, which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock”. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is often volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want to.



SINCE OUR COMPANY’S SOLE OFFICER  AND DIRECTOR CURRENTLY OWNS 100% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS MAY FIND THAT HIS DECISIONS ARE CONTRARY TO THEIR INTERESTS.

The company’s sole officer and director own 100% of the outstanding shares and will own over 71% after this offering is completed. As a result, he may be able to choose all of our directors and control the direction of the company. The company’s sole officer and director’s interests may differ from the interests of other stockholders. Factors that could cause his interests to differ from the interests of other stockholders include the impact of corporate transactions on the timing of business operations and his ability to continue to manage the business given the amount of time he is able to devote to the company.


All decisions regarding the management of the company’s affairs will be made exclusively by its sole officer and director. Purchasers of the offered shares may not participate in the management of the company and, therefore, are dependent upon the management abilities of the company’s sole officer and director. The only assurance that the shareholders of the company, including purchasers of the offered shares, have that the company’s sole officer and director will not abuse his discretion in executing the company’s business affairs, is his fiduciary obligation and business integrity. Such discretionary powers include, but are not limited to, decisions regarding all aspects of business operations, corporate transactions and financing. Accordingly, no person should purchase the offered shares unless that person is willing to entrust all aspects of management to the company’s sole officer and director, or his successors. Potential purchasers of the offered shares must carefully evaluate the personal experience and business performance of the company’s management.

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.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF NEVADA STATE LAW HINDER A POTENTIAL TAKEOVER OF VACATION HOME SWAP.


Though not now, we may be or in the future we may become subject to Nevada’s control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation.  The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.


The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.




If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares.


Nevada’s control share law may have the effect of discouraging takeovers of the corporation.


In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interested stockholders” for three years after the “interested stockholder” first becomes an “interested stockholder,” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “business combination” is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.


The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of Vacation Home Swap from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

Risks Related to Investing in Our Company

AS THE COMPANY’S SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS OTHER OUTSIDE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, HE MAY NOT BE IN A POSITION TO DEVOTE A MAJORITY OF HIS TIME TO THE COMPANY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERIODIC INTERRUPTIONS OR BUSINESS FAILURE.

Mr. MacDow, our sole officer and director, has other outside business activities and currently devotes approximately 10 hours per week to our operations. Our operations may occur at times which are not convenient to Mr. Mac Dow, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of our business plan. If the demands of the company’s business require the full business time of our sole officer and director, he is prepared to adjust his timetable to devote more time to the company’s business. However, he may not be able to devote sufficient time to the management of the company’s business, which may result in periodic interruptions in implementing the company’s plans in a timely manner. Such delays would have a negative effect on the success of the business.



KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MAY LEAVE THE COMPANY, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.


The company is entirely dependent on the efforts of its sole officer and director. The loss of its sole officer and director, or of other key personnel that may be hired in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the business and its prospects. We the company believes that all commercially reasonable efforts have been made to minimize the risks attendant with the departure by key personnel from service. The company plans to continue these efforts in the future. However, there is no guarantee that replacement personnel, if any, will help the company to operate profitably. The company does not maintain key person life insurance on its sole officer and director.


SINCE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS VERY LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN THE VACATION HOME EXCHANGE INDUSTRY, THE COMPANY MAY NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL IN IMPLEMENTING ITS BUSINESS STRATEGY, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

Our sole officer and director have no direct experience in the sales or marketing of home exchange. As a result, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements on operating an Internet-based business. Management’s decisions and choices may not account for the purchasing or sales strategies which are



commonly deployed in websites. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreversible damage due to management’s lack of experience in these areas. As a result, we may have to cease operations, which will result in the loss of your investment.


IF THE COMPANY IS DISSOLVED, THERE WILL BE INSUFFICIENT ASSETS REMAINING TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.  


In the event of the dissolution of the company, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of its assets, if any, will be distributed to the shareholders only after the claims of the company’s creditors, if any, and are satisfied. In that case, the ability of purchasers of the offered shares to recover all or any portion of his or her purchase price for the offered shares will depend on the amount of funds realized and the claims to be satisfied there from.


COMPENSATION MAY BE PAID TO OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES REGARDLESS OF THE COMPANY’S PROFITABILITY. SUCH PAYMENTS MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR CASH FLOW AND THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO FINANCE ITS BUSINESS PLAN, WHICH WOULD CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.  


The sole officer and director and any future employees of the company may be entitled to receive compensation, payments and reimbursements regardless of whether the company operates at a profit or a loss. Any compensation received by our sole officer and director, or any other management personnel in the future, will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. We expect to reimburse our sole officer and director and any future management personnel for any direct out-of-pocket expenses they incur on behalf of the company.


LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT COULD BE EXPENSIVE AND DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS.

We cannot be certain that our operations do not, or will not, infringe upon patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties, or that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us.  From time to time, we may be involved in disputes with these third parties.  Any claim of infringement of proprietary rights of others, even if ultimately decided in our favor, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.  Successful claims against us may result in an injunction or substantial monetary liability, which could, in either case, significantly impact our results of operations or materially disrupt the conduct of our business.  If we are enjoined from using a technology, we will need to obtain a license to use the technology, but licenses to third-party technology may not be available to us at a reasonable cost, or at all.

Risks Related to the Company’s Market and Strategy

SINCE WE ARE A NEW COMPANY AND LACK AN OPERATING HISTORY, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

Vacation Home Swap is a development stage company formed recently to carry out the activities described in this prospectus and thus has only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. We were incorporated on March 31,  2009 and to date have been involved primarily in the research end of vacation home exchange websites, organizational activities and advertising research; to date we haven’t transacted any business. Thus, there is no internal or industry-based historical financial data upon which to estimate the company’s planned operating expenses.


The company expects that its results of operations may also fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors. These include, among others, the entry of new competitors into the web based home exchange business, our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, the initiation, renewal or expiration of our customer base, pricing changes by the company or its competitors, specific economic conditions operating in  home swapping and general economic conditions. Accordingly, our future sales and operating costs are difficult to forecast.




The company’s anticipated expenses are relatively fixed in the short term and we expect that they will be partially offset by our future revenues. The company may not be able to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in relation to its expectations would have an immediate adverse impact upon the company’s business, financial condition, and the results of its operations. In addition, the company may decide from time to time to make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a short-term material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or the results of its operations, and may not result in the long-term benefits intended. Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is probable that in some future period the company’s operating results may be less than the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the company’s securities, including its common stock, would probably be materially adversely affected.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have earned no revenue. Failure to generate revenue will cause us to go out of business, which will result in the complete loss of your investment.

WE MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF YOUR INTESTMENT.   


Although the company intends to pursue a strategy of aggressively marketing our website throughout the global economy, implementation of this strategy will depend in upon a number of factors. These include our ability to establish a significant base of customers, maintain favorable relationships with our customers, effectively offer a  superior product, obtain adequate financing on favorable terms in order to fund our business, maintain appropriate procedures, policies and systems and to continue to operate within an environment of increasing competition. The inability of the company to obtain or maintain any or all of these factors could impair our ability to implement our business strategy successfully, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of its operations and its financial condition.


WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GAIN ANY SIGNIFICANT MARKET ACCEPTANCE FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR ESTABLISH A SIGNIFICANT MARKET PRESENCE


The strategy of the company for growth is substantially dependent upon its ability to market its products successfully to prospective clients. However, Vacation Home Swap may not achieve significant acceptance among travelers and home exchangers. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant period of time. There is no guarantee that we can attract any home exchanges to our concept that will be sufficient to permit the company to recover our associated costs. Failure of the company’s products to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and the results of our operations.


THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING IF IT IS UNABLE TO MANAGE ITS FUTURE GROWTH.  


The company expects to experience growth and expects such growth to continue for the foreseeable future. The company’s growth may place a significant strain on its management, financial, operating and technical resources. Failure to manage this growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition or the results of its operations.  


THERE IS A RISK THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE ITS SERVICES OR CONTINUE OPERATIONS IF IT EXPERIENCES UNINSURED LOSSES OR AN ACT OF GOD.  


The company may, but is not required to, obtain comprehensive liability and other business insurance of the types customarily maintained by similar businesses. There are certain types of extraordinary occurrences, however, which may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. For example, in the event of a major storm, our offices may be unusable and our computer systems could be rendered inoperable for a prolonged period of time.  This would impair our ability to develop market our website or collect revenues and thus adversely affect our financial condition. In the event of a major civil disturbance, the company’s operations could be adversely



affected. Such an uninsured loss should occur; the company could lose significant revenues and financial opportunities in amounts that would not be partially or fully compensated by insurance proceeds.


THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON THE CONTINUED USE AND GROWTH OF THE INTERNET AS A COMMERCE PLATFORM


The existence and growth of our service depends on the continued acceptance of the Internet as a commerce platform for individuals and enterprises. We have no control over search engine results. The Internet could possibly lose its viability as a tool to pay for online services by the adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility and quality of service.  The acceptance and performance of the Internet has been harmed by “viruses,” “worms,” and “spy-ware”.  If for some reason the Internet was no longer widely accepted as a tool to pay for online services, the demand for our service would be significantly reduced, which would harm or cause our business to fail


THE COMPANY’S ENTIRE BUSINESS STRATEGY IS DEPENDENT ON THE HOME EXCHANGE CONCEPT. IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO ACHIEVE ITS SUBSCRIPTION ESTIMATES IT MAY FAIL AND SHAREHOLDERS MAY LOSE THEIR INVESTMENT.


The company’s growth is substantially dependent upon its ability to market and attract subscribers in Vacation Home Swap concept successfully and introduce new products and services in the future as needed. Other companies, including those with substantially greater financial, marketing, and sales resources, compete with the company. There can be no assurance that the company will be able to market its products on acceptable terms, or at all. There can be no assurance that the company will be able to market new products that will be commercially successful. Failure to market its products successfully, or develop, introduce and market new products successfully, could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.  


THE COMPANY IS DEPENDENT ON THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS FOR CERTAIN SERVICES AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS IF THERE IS A DISRUPTION IN THE SUPPLY OF SUCH SERVICES.


Our website will be hosted and maintained by a third party hosting service.  Any mismanagement, service interruptions, or damage to the data of our company or our customers, could result in the loss of customers, or other harm to our business.


Risks Related to Investing in Our Industry

AS THE COMPANY’S PRODUCTS ARE INTENDED FOR THE HOME EXCHANGE INDUSTRY, A DOWNTURN IN THE INDUSTRY WOULD REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND COULD MAKE OUR BUSINESS UNPROFITABLE.

The company has identified a strong market exists for Vacation Home Swap. This business provides an excellent market for a much needed product.  Since the market for home exchange is so saturated with similar websites, any downturn in the leisure travel and tourism industry resulting from factors such as gasoline or airfare price increases, would significantly affect the company’s ability to conduct its business and achieve profitability.


Risks Related to Investing in Our Business


WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION IN THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE OPERATE, WHICH COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO SUCCEED.

 

There are low barriers to entry by new or existing businesses seeking to offer the same services aw we do on the Internet.  As a result, our business environment is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and rapidly changing.  



Competition can come from many sources and may be focused on different segments of our business.  Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we have.  Any of these competitors may combine or form strategic partnerships, gaining competitive advantages as a result.  Our competitors may be able to develop and market products and services that are superior to our own in terms of features, quality, pricing or other factors.  In that event, our products and services may not achieve the market acceptance necessary for us to achieve success.


OUR SERVICE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH ITSELF IN THE MARKET


There are a wide range of companies that offer similar products. If we are unable to demonstrate clearly that our company offers the best value for the money, we may be unable to attract enough clients.


THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO MAKE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS AT ACCEPTABLE COSTS


Because we are a small business, with limited assets, we are not able to assume significant additional costs to operate. If we are unable to make any necessary change in the company structure, do the proper negotiations with the webmaster or are faced with circumstances that are beyond our ability to afford, we may have to suspend operations or cease them entirely which could result in a total loss of your investment.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE


As there is no established public market for our shares, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarily determined by Vacation Home Swap and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.


DILUTION


The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.02 per share. This price is significantly greater than the price paid by the Company’s sole officer and director for common equity since the Company’s inception on March 31, 2009. The Company’s sole officer and director paid $0.001 per share, a difference of $0.019 per share lower than the share price in this offering.


Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


10,000,000 common shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The Company is registering an additional of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock for possible resale at the price of $0.02 per share. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the offerings on the price of the stock.

 

In connection with the Company’s selling efforts in the offering, Mr. MacDow will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer’s securities. Mr. MacDow is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. Mr. MacDow will not be compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Mr. MacDow is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and he is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, Mr. MacDow will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Mr. MacDow will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).  


Vacation Home Swap will receive all proceeds from the sale of the 4,000,000 shares being offered. The price per share is fixed at $0.02 for the duration of this offering. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we intend to seek a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by the Company must be made at the fixed price of $0.02 until a market develops for the stock.


The Company’s shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and subject to the discretion of the Company. Further, the Company will not offer its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares sold by the Company may be occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.02 per share.


In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which Vacation Home Swap has complied.




In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.


Vacation Home Swap will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states).



DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock


Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of our common stock:


· have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our Board of Directors;


· are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;


· do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights;


· and are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.


We refer you to the Bylaws of our Articles of Incorporation and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.


Non-cumulative Voting


Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, present stockholders will own approximately 71.4% of our outstanding shares.


Cash Dividends


As of the date of this prospectus, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings in our business operations.


Anti-Takeover Provisions


Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders and since this offering will not be made in the State of Nevada, no shares will be sold to its residents. Further, we do not do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do so. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.




Stock Transfer Agent


We have not engaged the services of a transfer agent at this time. However, within the next twelve months we anticipate doing so. Until such a time a transfer agent is retained, Vacation Home Swap will act as its own transfer agent.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Development


On March 31, 2009, Mr. Donald MacDow, president and sole director, incorporated the Company in the State of Nevada and established a fiscal year end of April 30. The objective of the Company is to enter into the vacation home exchange market.


The mission of Vacation Home Swap is to make listing and searching for home exchange the easiest, most accessible and cost-effective method of vacation travel available through its website.  


Our business office is located at 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89703; our telephone number is (775) 321-8201 and our fax number is (480) 772-4144


The Company has not yet implemented its business model and to date has generated no revenues.


Vacation Home Swap has no plans to change its business activities or to combine with another business and is not aware of any circumstances or events that might cause this plan to change.


Market Opportunity

 We believe that our business can be effective with the high cost of traveling and tourism. We think that a business opportunity exists in targeting travelers who desire to eliminate the cost of lodging by exchanging their home for that of another person for a limited period of time.

Description of our Services




Vacation Home Swap intends to develop a website where travelers will be able to list a home they are willing to exchange with other vacationers around the globe. There will be a annual fee for listing (approximately $40), but it will be free to view potential exchanges.  If two Vacation Home Swap members can agree to swap homes vacation home swap will charge a fee of $20.00 per night per house for its services listed below.


To date, the Company’s operations have been limited to the testing of our Vacation Home Swap research on the Internet. We have not yet implemented our business plan and we have generated no revenues from our operations.  We intend to generate revenues from fees for member listings of homes available for exchange on our website.  As our site becomes established, we intend to create additional revenue streams, including fees for advertising and premium placement on our site. 

At the moment a Vacation Home Swap user becomes a member, the member will have the ability to contact other members and arrange home exchanges and update his or her property details at anytime from anywhere in the world.

Vacation Home Swap, plans to develop a so the Company can offer a wide range of subscriptions, trying to fulfill the member’s needs giving the chance of travelling in an easy, comfortable and safe way.


Services which will be included in the website are:

? Maps

? Community information

? Tips for home swapping

?  FAQ

? Resources for consumers

? Local services and stores

? Temporary rental insurance

Prospective home exchanger will have the ability to search according to a number of criteria, including:

? Property type,

? Area / neighborhood,

? Number of bedrooms (if appropriate).

? Pet policy.

? Other – including amenities (balcony, pool, laundry, parking, storage, etc.)

? Auto availability

In addition, several ’friendly’ features are envisioned for the site, which may include:

? Development of a mapping tool to show locations of attractions

? The website may include an option for prospective swappers to post want ads.

2. Choose the offers inside the website, choose the destination that suits the member best

3. Get in contact with a member

4. Share information with the people that a member likes most


The exchange can be:

· DIRECT: with this kind of exchange a Vacation Home Swap member goes to another member's home and they come to yours, at the same time. A member must determines whether the person contacted is available to exchange at the same time.  Another option will be to list a second home, so a member does not need to trade concurrently.

· HOSPITALITY:  A member will also have the ability to invite another member as a guest in your home, and in a different period of the year you will be their guest, under the same conditions.


The Vacation Home Swap member will be able to exchange homes in his own country also.


Competitive Advantages


Vacation Home Swap has reviewed many similar websites and has determined they change, on average, approximately $100 per year to list properties. We are only going to charge a ‘one-time’ listing fee of $40 per home listing per year.  We intend to offer for a fee of $20.00 per rental night per property  various services including rental damage insurance which could act like a damage deposit.


Given that home exchanges are international in nature, the company will pursue a strategy of constructing multiple websites links to cater to this market through advertising on other sites and in print magazines. The Company intends to develop its initial website in one area, and expand later through creating additional, complementary “sister” sites in this geography, thereafter refining its business strategy based on its experience and duplicate this strategy in additional market areas.



Besides, the Company intends to provide the following:


· website visiting

· search options , to find efficiently locate a desired home i

· include color photographs and a flash video player allowing the member to share videos of his home 

· feedback of all other members who put another member up and were put up by the member, to check the reliability of the system

· information regarding the main attractions and special events occurring during the year in all countries

· Internal inbox with all the messages received from others members and all the message sent to other

· Each member can swap as many times as he wants for no extra charge

· privacy control

· In case an exchange partner cancels the home exchange agreement because of an unforeseen circumstance, Vacation Home Swap will reimburse for paying for alternative accommodation

· 24-hour customer service phone number will be


Marketing


Our planned initial marketing efforts include:




In our initial web site launch we will offer a free listing for 90 days for new members in an effort to populate the website with homes that are available. Once the 90-day trial period has lapsed the company intends to ask for the $40.00 listing fee or we will remove the listing. The company wll entertain cooperative listing arrangements with other vacation web sites that are non competitive to the company’s core business. The web site will be backed by an SQL data base holding all the member information and vacation home pictures, the company will use a server system offered by AOL or Yahoo that will give the company required bandwidth and storage capabilities at very reasonable costs. The company would buy some Google key word searches to assure that Vacation Home Swap is at the top of the search engines.


· Developing a website to have members join

· Website advertising

· Print advertisements in travel and home design magazines

· Various web-based search engines

· Agreements with well-known entertainment venues to get discounts for Vacation Home Swap members

 

Intellectual Property


We intend, in due course to apply for trademark protection and/or copyright protection in the United States, Canada, and other jurisdictions.


We intend to assert our rights under trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property. These rights are protected through the acquisition of trademark registrations, the maintenance of copyrights, and, where appropriate, litigation against those who are, in our opinion, infringing these rights.


While there can be no assurance that registered trademarks and copyrights will protect our proprietary information, we intend to assert our intellectual property rights against any infringer. Although any assertion of our rights can result in a substantial cost to, and diversion of effort by, our Company, management believes that the protection of our intellectual property rights is a key component of our operating strategy.

 


Regulatory Matters


We are unaware of and do not anticipate having to expend significant resources to comply with any governmental regulations of the vacation home exchange market. We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to sell our services, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors of

Vacation Home Swap, Inc.



We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Vacation Home Swap, Inc. (A Development Stage “Company”) as of January 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2010; and for the period from March 31, 2009 (inception) through January 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.


We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.


Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  Because of the Company’s current status and limited operations there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to its current status are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VACATION HOME SWAP, INC.

(A Development Stage Enterprise)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

January 31, 2010


NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Vacation Home Swap, Inc. (“Vacation Home Swap, “we”, “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company on March 31, 2009 and established a fiscal year end of April 30. We are a development-stage Company organized to enter into an Internet based vacation home swapping company. The company will have a website where people can exchange homes for their holidays and travels.

Vacation Home Swap will compete with other Internet based exchanging companies.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements present the balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.


Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and clarified by FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of ASC No. 109.”  Under this method, 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 balances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.  

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company.  Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.


Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.  In accordance with ASC No. 830, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the periods presented.  Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate

component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Prior authoritative literature: FASB SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, issued March 2008 (“SFAS 161”), an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133). FASB ASC 815-10 (SFAS 161) requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under FASB ASC 815-10 (SFAS 161), entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure related to (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS. 133”), and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB ASC 815-10 (SFAS 161)must be applied prospectively to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 for all financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. The adoption of FASB ASC 815-10 (SFAS 161) had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.


FASB ASC 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Prior authoritative literature: FASB SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”), issued May 28, 2009), which establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  FASB ASC 105-10 (SFAS 165) is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of FASB ASC 105-10 (SFAS 165) did not have a material effect on the company’s financial position or results of operations.  


FASB ASC 105-10-65, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Prior authoritative literature: FASB SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”), issued June 2009), establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 105-10-65 (SFAS 168) did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.



Going concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Currently, the Company does not have cash nor material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs giving substantial doubt for it to continue as a going concern.  The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern.  The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s

(A Development Stage Enterprise)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

January 31, 2010


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company is funding its initial operations by way of issuing Founder’s shares.   As of January 31, 2010, the Company had issued 10,000,000 Founder’s shares at $0.001 per share for net funds to the Company of $10,000.


NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


In accordance with the requirements of ASC 825-10-50 and ASC 270-10-50,, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STOCK


The Company’s capitalization is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.  No preferred shares have been authorized or issued.


As of January 31, 2010, the Company has not granted any stock options and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Per Statement of Accounting Standard No. 109 – Accounting for Income Tax and FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109, when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit.  We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded as of January 31, 2010 are as follows:


 

 

January 31, 2010

 

Net operating loss carry forward

$           15,684

 

Effective Tax rate                                                                          

35%

 

Deferred Tax Assets

$             5,489

 

Less: Valuation Allowance

                   (5,489)

 

Net deferred tax asset

$                    0






The net federal operating loss carry forward will expire between 2027 and 2028.  This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.


NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


The amount due to the related party is $1,200, which is unsecured and non-interest bearing with no set terms of repayment.


NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT


The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 23, 2010 , the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company has determined that there were no such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Vacation Home Swap, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vacation Home Swap, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the Company) as of April 30, 2009 and the related financial statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from March 31, 2009 (inception) to April 30, 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 Vacation Home Swap, Inc. as of April 30, 2009 and the results of its operation and its cash flows for the period from March 31, 2009 (inception) to April 30, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Vacation Home Swap will compete with other Internet-based exchanging companies.


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation

The financial statements present the balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.


Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and clarified by FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  Under this method, 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 balances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.  

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company.  Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.


Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.  In accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the periods presented.  Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations



Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS 141(R) - In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations.” This Statement replaces SFAS 141, “Business Combinations,” and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual contingencies, any contingent consideration, and any non-controlling  interest in the acquire at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. SFAS 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquire, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141(R)). In addition, SFAS 141(R)'s requirement to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquire at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interest in addition to that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It also amends SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” to, among other things, provide guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible assets and assets that the

acquirer intends not to use. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) could have on our financial statements.


SFAS 160 - In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SFAS 160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the non-controlling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) could have on our financial statements.


SFAS 161 - In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of SFAS 133 and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS 133. SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operation.


SFAS 162 - In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the

AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.


SFAS 163 - In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of  premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.


Going concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Currently, the Company does not have cash nor material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs giving substantial doubt for it to continue as a going concern.  The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern.  The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company is funding its initial operations by way of issuing Founder’s shares.   As of April 30, 2009, the Company had issued 10,000,000 Founder’s shares at $0.001 per share for net funds to the Company of $10,000.



NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107and SFAS No. 157, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STOCK


The Company’s capitalization is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.  No preferred shares have been authorized or issued.


As of April 30, 2009, the Company has not granted any stock options and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Per Statement of Accounting Standard No. 109 – Accounting for Income Tax and FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109, when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit.  We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.


The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded as of April 30, 2009 are as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This section of the Registration Statement includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.


Plan of Operation


Over the 12 month period starting upon completion of the offering under this registration statement, Vacation Home Swap must raise capital and start its sales. The first stage of our operations over this period is to establish our office and acquire the computer and office equipment we need to begin operations during the initial 60 days after the completion of the offering under this registration statement. We believe that it will cost $8,000 to buy and secure the necessary computer equipment. We do not intend to hire employees. Our sole officer and director will handle our administrative duties.


The second stage is to hire consultants to develop the key part of the business: create the website. Our Company`s website will include links to maps, weather information, country habits, local services and stores, community information, information about neighborhood and special events. Concurrently we intend to purchase a software system to comply with our needs, which the client can add home pictures, videos from his home, indicate through a link the local services and stores nearby, and create an internal inbox for messages received/sent. We believe that it will cost $15,000 initially to have our website operational. The initial operation of the website is anticipated to be ready in 120 days of the completion of the offering under this registration statement.


The last stage is our Marketing and Sales campaign. We intend to include advertisements in travel and home design magazine and various Internet search engines; and promote and sell ads into our website along famous coffee shops, outlets, restaurants and bars, technology companies and airline companies. We believe that marketing and sales campaign will cost up to $45,000. We expect to be fully operational within 180 days of the completion of the offering under this registration statement.


The Company will incur additional expenses by becoming a reporting issuer; the Company’s net proceeds would first be allocated to keep the company current in its Security and Exchange commission obligations. The Company may to amend its use of proceeds if it does not raise at least 75% of the funds anticipated in this offering.  The company feels that a minimum of $12,000 would be required over a 12-month period to meet its reporting obligations. The company’s president has stated that he would lend the company money to maintain its reporting status if required but there is no written contract between the company and the president and there can be no assurance that the president will  lend the company funds if required.


Marketing is anticipated to be an ongoing matter that will continue during the life of our operations.


Results of Operations

 



For the period from inception through January 31 , 20 10 , we had no revenue. Expenses for the period totaled $ 15,684 resulting in a Net loss of $ 15,684 .

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

As of January 31 , 20 10 we had $516 cash  in the corporate account .


Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us to operate for at least one year.


Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.


We are highly dependent upon the success of the anticipated private placement offering described herein. Therefore, the failure thereof would result in need to seek capital from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the Company. However, if such financing were available, because we are a development stage Company with no operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing.  If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing, it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investment.


We do not anticipate researching any further products or services nor the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees.


As of the date of this registration statement, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. The Company’s sole officer and director, Mr. MacDow has indicated that he may be willing to provide funds required to maintain the reporting status in the form of a non-secured loan for the next twelve months as the expenses are incurred if no other proceeds are obtained by the Company. However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing this agreement. Management believes if the Company cannot maintain its reporting status with the SEC it will have to cease all efforts directed towards the Company. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.


Off-balance sheet arrangements


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company



has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

There were no grants of stock options since inception to the date of this Prospectus.


We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.


The Board of Directors of Vacation Home Swap has not adopted a stock option plan. The Company has no plans to adopt it but may choose to do so in the future. If such a plan is adopted, this may be administered by the board or a committee appointed by the board (the “Committee”). The committee would have the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding options and to authorize the grant of new options in substitution therefore, provided that any such action may not impair any rights under any option previously granted. Vacation Home Swap may develop an incentive based stock option plan for its officers and directors and may reserve up to 10% of its outstanding shares of common stock for that purpose.

The Company has not adopted a Stock Awards Plan, but may do so in the future. The terms of any such plan have not been determined.

[1] The person named above may be deemed to be a “parent” and “promoter” of our Company, within the meaning of such terms under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of his direct and indirect stock holdings. Mr. MacDow is the only “promoter” of our Company.

Our sole officer and director will continue to own the majority of our common stock after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold. Since he will continue control the Company after the offering, investors will be unable to change the course of the operations. Thus, the shares we are offering lack the value normally attributable to voting rights. This could result in a reduction in value of the shares you own because of their ineffective voting power. None of our common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants, or securities convertible into common stock.



CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


On April 20, 2009, we issued a director’s resolution allowing Donald MacDow, our sole officer and director, to Purchase 10,000,000 common shares for total consideration of $10,000, or $0.001 per share. On June 3, 2009 the company received US$10,000.00 for payment for the founder’s shares. On June 18, 2009 the company has issued the shares. This was accounted for as a purchase of common stock, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Under Rule 144, a shareholder can sell up to 1% of total outstanding shares every three months in brokers’ transactions. Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales



of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES


Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.

We have allocated a portion of the above proceeds to pay for costs associated with this prospectus and expect the balance of the proceeds to be mainly applied to further costs of this prospectus and administrative costs.  The president paid for his shares on June 3, 2009, the company incurred an accounts payable of $1200.00 in connection to the filing if this document. No shares were issued to the president of the company until consideration had been paid.


We shall report the use of proceeds on our first periodic report filed pursuant to sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of this Registration Statement and thereafter on each of our subsequent periodic reports through the later of disclosure of the application of all the offering proceeds, or disclosure of the termination of this offering.

UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i.         To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

ii.        To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

iii.       To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided however, that:

A.   Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 15 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and

B.   Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

2.    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3.    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4.    If the registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

5.    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

i.         If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:



A.   Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

B.   Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date; or

ii.        If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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.

6.    That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to our director, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our director, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our director, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

For the purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act for any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, 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.
