Overview
The Company was incorporated in Nevada in August 2008. We are currently a development stage company and plan to operate as a restaurant holding company specializing in the development and expansion of proven independent restaurant concepts into multi-unit locations through corporate-owned stores, licensing, and franchising opportunities, funding permitting. We have not generated any significant revenues to date, nor do we currently have any significant assets. Our mailing address is 4300 Quinlan Park Road, Suite 105, Austin, Texas 78732, our telephone number is (512) 585-5511 and our fax number is (512) 331-5896.
Business Overview
We believe there are compelling opportunities in the restaurant industry to acquire proven independent restaurant concepts and expand through the opening of corporate-owned stores offering franchise opportunities. The Company envisions that there will be acquisition opportunities in the sandwich, bakery-cafe, quick-casual, casual dining and family dining segments of the restaurant industry, and the Company hopes to actively pursue acquisitions in such dining segments in the future, funding permitting. The Company will not, however, actively pursue quick service restaurant (“QSR”), or “fast food” restaurant opportunities, but will evaluate potential QSR acquisitions on a case-by-case basis.
The Company believes that the ideal independent restaurant concept acquisition candidate has the following characteristics:
|
•
|
Average unit volumes (“AUVs”) higher than comparable concepts within its segment;
|
|
|
•
|
Unit build-out costs which are less than the AUV’s historically generated by the concept;
|
2
|
•
|
Unit-level earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) that is higher than comparable concepts within its segment;
|
|
|
•
|
Prime costs, equal to food and variable labor costs, that are lower than comparable concepts within its segment;
|
|
|
•
|
A strong presence in a desirable demographic marketing area (“DMA”) that can act as a strong foundation from which to grow; and
|
|
|
•
|
Appeal across multiple day-parts (i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner).
|
The Company’s current business plan anticipates franchising its future concepts once they have been incubated and sufficiently developed to generate interest from potential franchisees, of which there can be no assurance. The Company plans to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of franchising for any of its future portfolio concepts assuming each concept has been developed through corporate-owned locations, of which there can be no assurance, to a point where franchising is feasible. It is important to note that we have had no discussions pertaining to any acquisitions and none have been identified to date. Furthermore, we do not currently have sufficient cash on hand to complete any acquisitions, in the event any are located, and will need to raise significant additional capital in the future to complete any proposed acquisitions. The Company offers no assurances that it will complete any acquisitions in the future.
The Company believes that franchising typically provides the most cost-effective way to rapidly expand successful concepts by mitigating the risk involved with new concepts and providing a steady stream of cash flow to the franchisor in the form of royalty payments. Our management typically sees royalty payments of 3% to 6% of gross restaurant revenue, which are not affected by cost increases at the franchisee level. In fact, based on the Company’s discussions with various finance groups and private equity firms, the revenue stream from franchisee royalty payments to the franchisor is predictable and steady enough that many restaurant concept buyouts are being financed through securitization of future royalty payments from the concept’s franchisees, a trend that the Company can make no assurances will continue in the future.
The Company plans to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of franchising for each of future portfolio concepts (if any) once such concept has been developed through corporate-owned locations to a point where franchising is feasible, of which there can be no assurance. It is important to note that we have had no discussions pertaining to any acquisitions and none have been identified to date. Additionally, the Company offers no assurances that it will complete any acquisitions in the future.
On or around August 4, 2009, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Restaurant Growth Partners (“Restaurant Growth” and the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Restaurant Growth agreed to retain our services for a term of three months. We agreed to perform services for Restaurant Growth as an independent contractor including: making recommendations of prospective acquisition targets for Restaurant Growth; analyzing any such prospective targets; providing consultation on new concept development; assistance with preparing presentation materials to potential targets or funding sources; and assistance with the preparation of operational and marketing plans, and other consulting services as requested by Restaurant Growth from time to time.
Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Restaurant Growth paid us a $5,000 non-refundable retainer fee for the entire three month term of the Consulting Agreement. The Consulting Agreement has since expired and the Company does not anticipate receiving any additional consideration in connection with the Consulting Agreement moving forward.
Blank Check Company Issues
Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) governs offerings by “blank check companies.” Rule 419 defines a “blank check company” as a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and issuing “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Our management believes that the Company does not meet the definition of a “blank check company,” because, while we are in the development stage, we do have a specific business plan and purpose as described above, and our current purpose is not to engage in a merger or acquisition, and as such, we should not therefore be characterized as a “blank check company.”
3
Critical Accounting Policies:
Development Stage Policy
The Company complies with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915-205 “Development Stage Entities” in its characterization of the Company as a development stage enterprise.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from restaurant sales will be recognized when food and beverage products are sold. Revenues from the sales of franchises are recognized as income when substantially all of our material obligations under the franchise agreement have been performed. Continuing royalties, which are anticipated to be a percentage of net sales of franchised restaurants, will be accrued as income when earned. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities will be presented on a net basis within net sales.
Basic Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Share-Based Payment
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC Topic 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting, and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely then not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
4
The amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and advances from shareholders are short-term in nature and their carrying values approximate fair values.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2009
We had no revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2010 or for the three months ended February 28, 2009. The Company is currently in the development stage of its business development and has had only limited operations to date.
We had operating expenses consisting entirely of general and administrative expenses of $13,962 for the three months ended February 28, 2010, compared to general and administrative expenses of $5,441 for the three months ended February 28, 2009, an increase in total expenses of $8,521 or 157% from the prior period. The general and administrative expenses were mainly attributable to professional fees, including legal and accounting fees, and filing fees in connection with the Company’s ongoing public company reporting obligations and transfer agent expenses associated with the Company’s entry into an agreement with Island Stock Transfer (“Island”) to serve as the Company’s transfer agent, which included the requirement to pay Island $7,500 and issue Island 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended February 28, 2010, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009, due to the fact that we were not a publicly reporting company during the three months ended February 28, 2009, as we were for the three months ended February 28, 2010, and therefore did not have the increased expenses associated with such reporting and filing obligations.
We had a net loss of $13,962 for the three months ended February 28, 2010, compared to a net loss of $5,441 for the three months ended February 28, 2009, an increase in net loss of $8,521 or 157% from the prior period. Net loss increased mainly due to the one-time expenses associated with our entry into the agreement with Island, as well as additional expenses associated with our status as a reporting company with the SEC, for the three months ended February 28, 2010, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009, when we had limited operations and no filing requirements with the SEC.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2009
We had no revenues for the six months ended February 28, 2010 or for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The Company is currently in the development stage of its business development and has had only limited operations to date.
We had operating expenses consisting entirely of general and administrative expenses of $39,926 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to general and administrative expenses of $8,481 for the six months ended February 28, 2009, an increase in total expenses of $31,445 or 371% from the prior period. The general and administrative expenses were mainly attributable to professional fees, including legal and accounting fees, and filing fees in connection with the Company’s ongoing public company reporting obligations and transfer agent expenses associated with the Company’s entry into an agreement with Island described above. General and administrative expenses increased for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to the six months ended February 28, 2009, due to the fact that we were not a publicly reporting company during the six months ended February 28, 2009, as we were for the six months ended February 28, 2010, and therefore did not have the increased expenses associated with such reporting and filing obligations.
5
We had a net loss of $39,926 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to a net loss of $8,481 for the six months ended February 28, 2009, an increase in net loss of $31,445 or 371% from the prior period. Net loss increased mainly due to the one-time expenses associated with our entry into the agreement with Island, as well as additional expenses associated with our status as a reporting company with the SEC, for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to the six months ended February 28, 2009, when we had limited operations and no filing requirements with the SEC.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had total assets, consisting solely of cash of $270 as of February 28, 2010.
We had total liabilities consisting solely of current liabilities of $60,800 as of February 28, 2010, which included $45,650 of accounts payable in connection with legal, accounting and auditing fees (which included $15,000 of expenses associated with the Island agreement, including $7,500 in cash and $7,500 representing the value of the 50,000 restricted shares of common stock that the Company agreed to issue to Island, as described above) and $15,150 of loan payable to related party, which amount was due to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, David Cho (as described below).
We had negative working capital of $60,530 and a total accumulated deficit of $94,531 as of February 28, 2010.
We had net cash used in operating activities of $7,068 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, which was due to $39,926 of net loss offset by $25,358 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $7,500 of common stock issued for services, representing the 50,000 restricted shares of common stock due to Island (as described above).
We had net cash provided from financing activities of $5,000 for the six months ended February 28, 2010, which represented funds loaned to the Company by Mr. Cho in December 2009, as described in greater detail below.
On or around October 7, 2008, the Company entered into a $10,150 Promissory Note with its President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, David Cho, to evidence amounts loaned to the Company by Mr. Cho. The Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and was due and payable on October 7, 2009. Prior to the maturity date of the Promissory Note, Mr. Cho agreed to extend the due date of such Promissory Note for an additional year to October 7, 2010.
On December 21, 2009, the Company entered into a $5,000 Promissory Note with its President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, David Cho, to evidence amounts loaned to the Company by Mr. Cho. The Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and is due and payable on December 21, 2010.
On March 17, 2010, the Company entered into a $3,000 Promissory Note with Mr. Cho, to evidence amounts loaned to the Company by Mr. Cho. The Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and is due and payable on March 17, 2011.
On March 31, 2010, the Company entered into a $1,200 Promissory Note with Mr. Cho, to evidence amounts loaned to the Company by Mr. Cho. The Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and is due and payable on March 31, 2011.
The Company estimates the need for approximately $500,000 of additional funding during the next 12 months to continue its business operations and expand its operations as planned (i.e., by building out corporate owned restaurant concepts in and around Texas), which amount does not include any funds we will require to repay Mr. Cho’s promissory notes (as described above) and we can provide no assurances that such funding can be raised on favorable terms, if at all. We anticipate the need for approximately $150,000 to $250,000 to construct and implement each restaurant concept which we choose to acquire in the future. As such, in the event we raise more than approximately $150,000 to $250,000 in additional funds, but less than $500,000, we will seek to build out at least one corporate owned restaurant concept.
6
If we are unable to raise adequate working capital for fiscal 2010, we will continue to market our services as funding permits and will continue to actively seek out additional funding for the Company’s planned expansion (as described above), but we will be restricted in the implementation of our business plan.
Moving forward, we plan to seek out additional debt and/or equity financing; however, we do not currently have any specific plans to raise such additional financing at this time. The sale of additional equity securities, if undertaken by the Company and if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders. We cannot assure you, however, that future financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our securities are highly speculative and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this filing before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.
The Company's business is subject to the following Risk Factors (references to "our," "we," "RCOA" and words of similar meaning in these Risk Factors refer to the Company):
WE HAVE FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS AND WITHOUT ADEQUATE CAPITAL WE MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OR CURTAIL OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
Our growth and continued operations could be impaired by limitations on our access to capital markets. Furthermore, we can give no assurances that the limited capital we have raised and the additional capital available to us from our principals, if any, will be adequate for our long-term growth. If financing is available, it may involve issuing securities senior to our common stock, or equity financings which are dilutive to holders of our common stock. In addition, in the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, such as our existing investors or commercial banks, there is every likelihood that our growth will be restricted and we may be forced to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan (see also the description of our required capital for fiscal 2010 as described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).
Even if we are successful in raising capital in the future, we will likely need to raise additional capital to continue and/or expand our operations. If we do not raise the additional capital, the value of any investment in our Company may become worthless. In the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, it is likely that we may need to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan. As of the date of this filing, we have only limited operations and have not generated any significant revenues since the Company’s inception on August 1, 2008.
WE HAVE NOT GENERATED ANY SIGNIFICANT REVENUES SINCE OUR INCEPTION IN AUGUST 2008.
Since the our inception in August 2008, we have yet to generate any significant revenues, and currently have only limited operations, as we are presently in the development stage of our business. We make no assurances that we will be able to generate any significant revenues in the future and/or that we will be able to gain clients in the future to build our business to the level of revenue generation.
SHAREHOLDERS WHO HOLD UNREGISTERED SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARE SUBJECT TO RESALE RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO RULE 144, DUE TO OUR STATUS AS A “SHELL COMPANY.”
Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Consequently, we are a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 are not able to be made until 1) we have ceased to be a “shell company; 2) we are subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have filed all of our required periodic reports for at least the previous one year period prior to any sale pursuant to Rule 144; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company.” Because none of our non-registered securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after we cease to be a “shell company”, any non-registered securities we sell in the future or issue to consultants or employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose will have no liquidity until and unless such securities are registered with the Commission and/or until a year after we cease to be a “shell company” and have complied with the other requirements of Rule 144, as described above. As a result, it may be harder for us to fund our operations and pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder or us to raise funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. Our status as a “shell company” could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions (although none are currently planned), which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless.
8
OUR AUDITORS HAVE RAISED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO WHETHER WE CAN CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
We have generated only limited revenues through February 28, 2010, had a working capital deficit of $60,530 as of February 28, 2010, and a net loss of $39,926 for the six months ended February 28, 2010. These factors among others indicate substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, particularly in the event that we cannot obtain additional financing and/or attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if we cannot continue as a going concern, your investment could become devalued or even worthless.
THE SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY DEPENDS HEAVILY ON DAVID CHO AND PETE WAINSCOTT AND THEIR INDUSTRY CONTACTS.
The success of the Company will depend on the abilities of David Cho, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, and Pete Wainscott, our Director, to generate business from their existing contacts and relationships within the restaurant industry. The loss of Mr. Cho or Mr. Wainscott will have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations (if any) and financial condition of the Company. In addition, the loss of Mr. Cho or Mr. Wainscott may force the Company to seek a replacement or replacements, who may have less experience, fewer contacts, or less understanding of the Company’s business. Further, we can make no assurances that we will be able to find a suitable replacement for either Mr. Cho or Mr. Wainscott, which could force the Company to curtail its operations and/or cause any investment in the Company to become worthless. The Company does not have an employment agreement with Mr. Cho or Mr. Wainscott.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS EXERCISE MAJORITY VOTING CONTROL OVER THE COMPANY AND THEREFORE EXERCISE CONTROL OVER CORPORATE DECISIONS INCLUDING THE APPOINTMENT OF NEW DIRECTORS.
David Cho, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, can vote an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares, equal to 54% of our outstanding common stock and Pete Wainscott, our Director can vote an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares, equal to 34% of our outstanding common stock. Therefore, Mr. Cho and Mr. Wainscott are able to vote an aggregate of 89% of our outstanding shares of common stock and therefore exercise control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Any other shareholders of the Company will be minority shareholders and as such will have little to no say in the direction of the Company and the election of Directors. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible for other shareholders to remove Mr. Cho or Mr. Wainscott as Directors of the Company, which will mean they will remain in control of who serves as officers of the Company as well as whether any changes are made in the Board of Directors. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of the Company's common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special shareholder meetings, your shares will likely have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE OTHER EMPLOYMENT OUTSIDE OF THE COMPANY, AND AS SUCH, MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DEVOTE SUFFICIENT TIME TO OUR OPERATIONS.
David Cho, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director is our only employee, and he along with Pete Wainscott, our Director, are our only officers and Directors. Further, Mr. Cho and Mr. Wainscott each currently have employment outside of the Company. As such, Mr. Cho spends approximately 40 hours per week on Company matters and Mr. Wainscott only spends approximately 5-10 hours per week on Company matters; and as such, they may not be able to devote a sufficient amount of time to our operations. This may be exacerbated by the fact that Mr. Cho is currently our only officer. If Mr. Cho and Mr. Wainscott are not able to spend a sufficient amount of their available time on our operations, we may never gain any clients, may not ever generate any significant revenue and/or any investment in the Company could become worthless.
9
OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FORECAST OUR FUTURE RESULTS, MAKING ANY INVESTMENT IN US HIGHLY SPECULATIVE.
We have a limited operating history, and our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could then force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
OUR INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE.
The restaurant industry is highly competitive and fragmented. The Company expects competition to intensify in the future. The Company expects to compete with numerous national, regional and local restaurants, restaurant holding companies and restaurant chains, many of which have substantially greater financial, managerial and other resources than those presently available to the Company. Further, in the event the Company acquires and/or establishes restaurant concepts that can be franchised, the Company will compete with numerous other restaurants for potential franchisees. Numerous well-established companies are focusing significant resources on building and establishing profitable restaurant concepts that currently compete and will compete with the Company's business in the future. The Company can make no assurance that it will be able to effectively compete with other restaurant developers or that competitive pressures, including possible downward pressure on the restaurant industry as a whole, will not arise. In the event that the Company cannot effectively compete on a continuing basis or competitive pressures arise, such inability to compete or competitive pressures will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
OUR GROWTH WILL PLACE SIGNIFICANT STRAIN ON OUR RESOURCES.
The Company is currently in the development stage, with only limited operations, and is currently seeking out potential restaurant concepts and sources of revenue, and has not generated any significant revenues since inception on August 1, 2008. The Company's growth, if any, is expected to place a significant strain on the Company's managerial, operational and financial resources as David Cho is our only officer and employee; and the Company will likely continue to have limited employees in the future. Furthermore, assuming the Company is able to acquire and develop successful restaurant concepts, of which there can be no assurance, it will be required to manage multiple relationships with various customers, franchisees and other third parties. These requirements will be exacerbated in the event of further growth of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support the Company's operations or that the Company will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully implement its business plan. The Company's future operating results, if any, will also depend on its ability to add additional personnel commensurate with the growth of its business, if any. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
10
OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED, AND BYLAWS LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF, AND PROVIDE INDEMNIFICATION FOR, OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, generally limit our officers' and Directors' personal liability to the Company and its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or Director except for breach of the duty of loyalty or acts or omissions not made in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws provide indemnification for our officers and Directors to the fullest extent authorized by the Nevada General Corporation Law against all expense, liability, and loss, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by an officer or Director in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "Proceeding") to which the officer or Director is made a party or is threatened to be made a party, or in which the officer or Director is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or Director of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer or director of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise whether the basis of the Proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as an officer or Director, or in any other capacity while serving as an officer or Director. Thus, the Company may be prevented from recovering damages for certain alleged errors or omissions by the officers and Directors for liabilities incurred in connection with their good faith acts for the Company. Such an indemnification payment might deplete the Company's assets. Stockholders who have questions regarding the fiduciary obligations of the officers and Directors of the Company should consult with independent legal counsel. It is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission that exculpation from and indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
Risks Relating To the Company’s Securities
WE HAVE NEVER ISSUED CASH DIVIDENDS IN CONNECTION WITH OUR COMMON STOCK AND HAVE NO PLANS TO ISSUE DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE.
We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock to date and it is not anticipated that any cash dividends will be paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of our business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion.
INVESTORS MAY FACE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON THE RESALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK DUE TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS OF PENNY STOCKS.
Our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g)9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock.
11
Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.
In addition, various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" and as a result, investors in the common stock may have their ability to sell their shares of the common stock impaired.
SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE DILUTED SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH OUR EFFORTS TO OBTAIN FINANCING AND SATISFY OBLIGATIONS THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
STATE SECURITIES LAWS MAY LIMIT SECONDARY TRADING, WHICH MAY RESTRICT THE STATES IN WHICH AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH YOU CAN SELL SHARES.
Secondary trading in our common stock may 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 cannot 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.
BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH RULES REQUIRING THE ADOPTION OF CERTAIN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, OUR STOCKHOLDERS HAVE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.
Because our Directors are not independent directors, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our Directors have the ability to, among other things, determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and any potential investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
12
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, Directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of Directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES. IF THERE IS A MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES IN THE FUTURE, SUCH MARKET MAY BE VOLATILE AND ILLIQUID.
In October 2009, we obtained quotation for our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol RCNC.OB. However, there is currently no public market for our common stock, and we can make no assurances that there will be a public market for our common stock in the future. If there is a market for our common stock in the future, we anticipate that such market would be illiquid and would be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:
(1) actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
(2) our ability or inability to generate new revenues;
(3) increased competition; and
(4) conditions and trends in the market for restaurants and eateries.
Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
IF WE ARE LATE IN FILING OUR QUARTERLY OR ANNUAL REPORTS WITH THE SEC, WE MAY BE DE-LISTED FROM THE OVER-THE-COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD.
Pursuant to Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") rules relating to the timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC, any OTCBB issuer which fails to file a periodic report (Form 10-Q's or 10-K's) by the due date of such report (not withstanding any extension granted to the issuer by the filing of a Form 12b-25), three (3) times during any twenty-four (24) month period is automatically de-listed from the OTCBB. Such removed issuer would not be re-eligible to be listed on the OTCBB for a period of one-year, during which time any subsequent late filing would reset the one-year period of de-listing. If we are late in our filings three times in any twenty-four (24) month period and are de-listed from the OTCBB, our securities may become worthless and we may be forced to curtail or abandon our business plan.
NEVADA LAW AND OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AUTHORIZE US TO ISSUE SHARES OF STOCK, WHICH SHARES MAY CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.
We have authorized capital stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of the date of this filing, we have 10,160,003 shares of common stock outstanding, which number includes 50,000 shares of common stock which we have agreed to issue, but which have not been physically issued as of the date hereof (as described below) and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As a result, our Board of Directors has the ability to issue a large number of additional shares of common stock without shareholder approval, which if issued could cause substantial dilution to our then shareholders. Additionally, shares of preferred stock may be issued by our Board of Directors without shareholder approval with voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and powers as determined by our Board of Directors, which may be greater than the shares of common stock currently outstanding. As a result, shares of preferred stock may be issued by our Board of Directors which cause the holders to have super majority voting power over our shares, provide the holders of the preferred stock the right to convert the shares of preferred stock they hold into shares of our common stock, which may cause substantial dilution to our then common stock shareholders and/or have other rights and preferences greater than those of our common stock shareholders. Investors should keep in mind that the Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, which could cause substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any preferred stock, which we may issue may be exacerbated given the fact that such preferred stock may have super majority voting rights and/or other rights or preferences which could provide the preferred shareholders with voting control over us subsequent to this filing and/or give those holders the power to prevent or cause a change in control. As a result, the issuance of shares of common stock and/or Preferred Stock may cause the value of our securities to decrease and/or become worthless.
13
WE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED IN CONNECTION WITH VARIOUS MERGER AND ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES AND MAY CHOOSE TO ENTER INTO A MERGER AND/OR ACQUISITION TRANSACTION IN THE FUTURE.
We have been contacted by parties seeking to merge and/or acquire us. While we have no immediate plans to merge with or acquire any entity, in the event that we do enter into a merger and/or acquisition with a separate company in the future, our majority shareholders will likely change and new shares of common or preferred stock could be issued resulting in substantial dilution to our then current shareholders. As a result, our new majority shareholders will likely change the composition of our Board of Directors and replace our current management. The new management will likely change our business focus and we can make no assurances that our new management will be able to properly manage our direction or that this change in our business focus will be successful. If we do enter into a merger or acquisition, and our new management fails to properly manage and direct our operations, we may be forced to scale back or abandon our operations, which will cause the value of our common stock to decline or become worthless. We have not entered into any merger or acquisition agreements as of the date of this filing.
IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF OPERATING AS A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES OXLEY ACT, AND OUR MANAGEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEVOTE SUBSTANTIAL TIME TO NEW COMPLIANCE INITIATIVES.
Moving forward, we anticipate incurring significant legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with our status as a fully reporting public company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. As such, our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure of controls and procedures. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
14
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In October 2009, we entered into an agreement with Island Stock Transfer (“Island”) to serve as the Company’s Transfer Agent. In connection with the agreement, we agreed to pay Island $7,500 and to issue Island 50,000 shares of our restricted common stock, which shares have not been physically issued to date. We claim an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the shares for investment and not resale and we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions.
