PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary highlights and is qualified in its entirety by information contained elsewhere in this document.  You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this document or incorporated by reference herein.  Unless the context otherwise requires, “SG Blocks,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to SG Blocks, Inc. (formerly CDSI Holdings Inc.), and note the selling stockholders.  Where context requires, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and similar expressions refer to SG Blocks together with SG Building Blocks, Inc. (“SG Building”) our wholly-owned subsidiary and only operating business.  As used in this prospectus, the term “common stock” means SG Blocks common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
 
Our Company
 
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary and only operating business, SG Building, we are a leading provider of code engineered cargo shipping containers used to meet the growing demand for safe and green construction.
 
Rather than consuming new steel and lumber, we capitalize on the structural engineering and design parameters a shipping container must meet and repurposes them for use in buildings.  By offering a product that typically exceeds building code requirements, we seek to enable developers, architects, builders and owners to achieve greener construction, faster execution and stronger buildings of higher value.  We have developed and implemented the technology to break away from standardized container-construction while maintaining reduced costs.  Committed to providing a construction methodology that will lessen the global carbon footprint, we do not simply recycle (which requires additional energy consumption to break down material and then reform it for another purposes) — we utilizes existing steel material and repurposes it into modules that can be put to a higher and better use with significantly less energy input.  In addition to providing code engineered cargo shipping containers for construction use, we also continue to advance a patent pending structural steel framing system and the use thereof.
 
From a design perspective, our repurposed containers can be used to build virtually any style of construction, from traditional to modern.  Repurposed containers can be delivered with a highly durable surface finish or ready to be clad with any type of standard or green technology friendly building skin.  A combination of engineering and architecture is used to make the repurposed containers adaptable for a wide variety of uses including housing, office buildings, barracks, hotels, schools, dormitories, hospitals, clinics and institutional facilities.
 
Our repurposed containers have a particular application in meeting safe and sustainable housing needs in the United States and globally.  The building system is designed to meet the needs of builders, developers, government officials, urban planners, architects, and engineers looking for fast and affordable alternatives that meet safe housing needs and standards, particularly in hurricane and earthquake prone areas. Criteria and testing processes have been developed to evaluate each container.  Conversion and assembly is subjected to quality control, making the containers “code-ready.”  Conformance with International Code Council requirements is an ongoing objective as this standard is used by a vast majority of governmental jurisdictions in the United States.
 
We are a hands-off supplier. Our partners, affiliates and customers carry the responsibility for container storage, modification, transportation and welding, leaving us to manage the logistical task of coordinating the efforts of its strategic partners.  These alliances help us maintain a steady supply of containers available around the world.

We believe that we can distinguish ourselves from our competitors on the basis of cost and construction time.  Our construction methods are typically 10% to 20% less expensive than traditional construction methods, particularly in urban locations and multi-story projects.  Construction time is typically reduced by 30 – 40% using our construction method, reducing construction and soft costs substantially.  Our repurposed containers are designed to withstand harsh climate conditions and their flexibility of construction allows architects, developers, and owners to design the product to meet their needs.
 
Corporate Information
 
Before being known as SG Blocks, Inc., we were known as CDSI Holdings, Inc. and PC411, Inc.  The Company was incorporated in Delaware on December 29, 1993.  On January 12, 1999, the Company’s stockholders voted to change our corporate name from PC411, Inc. to CDSI Holdings Inc. Following consummation of the merger of our wholly-owned subsidiary, CDSI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation with and into SG Building (formerly SG Blocks, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, on November 4, 2011, the Company’s name was changed to SG Blocks, Inc.
 
Prior to May 1998, our principal business was an on-line electronic delivery information service that transmitted name, address, telephone number and other related information digitally to users of personal computers.  In May 1998, we acquired Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc., a company engaged in the marketing and leasing of an inventory control system for tobacco products.  In February 2000, Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc. announced that it would no longer actively engage in the business of marketing and leasing the inventory control system.  In November 2003, we merged with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc., with the Company as the surviving corporation.
 
On July 27, 2011, we entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with CDSI Merger Sub, Inc., SG Building (formerly SG Blocks, Inc.), and certain stockholders of SG Building.  The merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement was completed on November 4, 2011.  Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, CDSI Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into SG Building, with SG Building surviving the merger and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary.  The merger was a reverse merger that will be accounted for as a recapitalization of SG Building, and accordingly SG Building is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Through consummation of this merger, we existed as a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and were seeking acquisition and investment opportunities.
 
Upon consummation of the merger, the holders of common stock of SG Building received an aggregate of 36,050,764 shares of Company common stock and all outstanding SG Building warrants were cancelled and substituted with Company warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 1,145,510 shares of Company common stock. Immediately following the Merger, warrants to purchase 100,926 shares of Company common stock were forfeited by a warrant holder.
 
On October 25, 2010, SG Blocks, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company, merged with and into SG Building Blocks, Inc., which continued the business of SG Blocks, LLC.  SG Blocks, LLC was formed on January 23, 2007 and SG Building Blocks, Inc. was formed on August 16, 2010. SG Building Blocks, Inc. was not engaged in any business prior to the merger with SG Blocks, LLC.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 400 Madison Avenue, Suite 16C New York, NY 10017, and our telephone number is (646) 747-2423.  Our website is www.sgblocks.com

Risk Factors
 
Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read and consider the information set forth in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4.
 
 
 
3

 
 
 
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before making an investment decision.  If any of the following risks or uncertainties occur, our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.  In assessing the risks described below, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and schedules, before deciding to purchase any shares of our common stock.
 
Risks Relating to the Company
 
Our liquidity and ability to raise capital may be limited.
 
As of September 30, 2011, SG Building, our wholly-owned subsidiary and only operating business, had cash and cash equivalents of $955,136.  However, over the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a net loss of $1,136,551.  While we currently believe that based on our current operating plan, we will have sufficient capital to meet our anticipated need for working capital and capital expenditures through October 1, 2012, we may need to obtain debt or additional equity financing prior to October 1, 2012, if our losses for the next year exceed our expectations or in the future.  It will also be difficult for us to make any acquisitions unless we can raise additional capital.  The type, timing and terms of the financing we may select will depend on, among other things, our cash needs, the availability of other financing sources and prevailing conditions in the financial markets.  Any financing would be dilutive to our stockholders.  There can be no assurance that any of these sources will be available to us at any time or that they will be available on satisfactory terms.
 
We have incurred net losses in certain prior periods and there can be no assurance that we will generate income in the future.
 
Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to generate and sustain substantially increased revenues.  We may incur operating losses in the future as we execute our growth strategy.  We intend to make significant expenditures related to marketing, expansion of our website, hiring of additional personnel, and development of our technology and infrastructure.  Although SG Building generated revenue from continuing operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, it has incurred net losses of $1,247,644 and $1,136,551, respectively, during such periods.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we (prior to giving effect to the Merger) incurred net losses of $35,204 and $118,386, respectively, during such periods.  The likelihood that we will generate net income in the future must be considered in light of the difficulties facing the construction and construction management industries as a whole, economic conditions, the competitive environment in which we operate and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus.  Our operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties, and it may not achieve sufficient revenues to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
 
We have a history of losses.
 
We have reported an operating loss in each of our fiscal quarters since inception.  There is a risk that we will continue to incur operating losses.
 
 
 
4

 
 
Revenues earned from currently planned projects may be less than originally anticipated.
 
Since January 1, 2011, SG Building has executed agreements (including design, architectural and engineering agreements) to build projects.  Currently, in our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we have recognized $598,494 of deferred revenue.  While we have collected the amounts relating to deferred revenue, to the extent there is a problem with a project, such revenue is at risk.  The loss of a significant amount of the deferred revenue would have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are dependent on the services of key personnel, and the unexpected loss of their services may adversely affect its operations.
 
Our success depends highly upon the personal efforts and abilities of our senior management team, specifically the efforts of Paul Galvin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Stevan Armstrong, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer and Director.  The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business.  Our ability to achieve profitability and generate increased revenue will depend upon our ability to retain, and attract if necessary, experienced management personnel.
 
An investor in our common stock must consider the uncertainties facing early stage companies in highly regulated industries.
 
An investor in our common stock must consider the uncertainties facing early stage companies in highly regulated industries.  These uncertainties include:
 
  
an evolving business model that makes future success uncertain and an investment in our common stock highly speculative;
 
  
the lack of a well-developed brand that may limit our ability to attract customers;
 
  
the potential development of a comparable product and lack of barriers to entry by better funded competitors; and
 
  
our new corporate organization, regulatory requirements and its anticipated growth could lead to management distractions and higher than expected operating expenses.
 
Our business is susceptible to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters.
 
Our construction projects are susceptible to, and are significantly affected by, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fires.  These adverse weather conditions and natural disasters can cause delays and increased costs in the construction of new buildings.  If insurance is unavailable to us or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses resulting from adverse weather or natural disasters, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.  In addition, damage to new buildings caused by adverse weather or a natural disaster can cause our insurance costs to increase.

Our failure to successfully complete the integration of SG Building or any other businesses acquired in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
Any financing required for acquisitions could dilute the interests of our existing holders of our common stock, result in an increase in our indebtedness or both.  Acquisitions may entail numerous risks, including:
 
  
difficulties in assimilating acquired operations or products, including the loss of key employees from acquired businesses;
 
  
diversion of management’s attention from our core business;
 
  
adverse effects on existing business relationships with supplies and customers; and
 
  
risks of entering markets in which we have limited or no prior experience.
 
Our failure to successfully complete the integration of SG Building or any other acquired business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.  In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or consummate acquisitions on favorable terms.
 
We rely on ConGlobal Industries, Inc. to supply us with containers used in our business and the unexpected termination of our exclusive 10 year Collaboration and Supply contract with ConGlobal to provide these containers would have a negative short-term impact on our business.
 
We rely on ConGlobal to supply us with containers and other resources used in our business and if this relationship were to unexpectedly end, or if the ConGlobal Agreement were to be unexpectedly terminated, such event could have a short-term (1-3 months) negative impact on our business while our alternate sources of supply are being implemented.
 
We rely on certain vendors to supply us with materials and products that if it were unable to obtain could adversely affect our business.
 
We have relationships with key materials vendors, and we rely on suppliers for our purchases of products from them.  Any inability to obtain materials or services in the volumes required and at competitive prices from our major trading partners, the loss of any major trading partner, or the discontinuation of vendor financing (if any) may seriously harm our business because we may not be able to meet the demands of our customers on a timely basis in sufficient quantities or at all.  Other factors, including reduced access to credit by our vendors resulting from economic conditions, may impair our vendors’ ability to provide products in a timely manner or at competitive prices.  We also rely on other vendors for critical services such as transportation, supply chain and professional services.  Any negative impacts to our business or liquidity could adversely impact our ability to establish or maintain these relationships.

Risks Relating to our Business
 
We depend on the availability and skill of subcontractors, their willingness to work with us, and their selection of suitable and quality building materials.
 
We rely on subcontractors to perform the actual construction of our building projects, and in many cases, to select and obtain raw materials.  Despite our detailed specifications and quality control procedures, in some cases, improper construction processes or defective materials may be used to finish construction of our building projects.  We may need to spend money to remediate such problems when they are discovered.  Defective products widely used by the construction industry can result in the need to perform extensive repairs to large numbers of buildings.  Though subcontracts are written to protect us from substandard performance or materials, pervasive problems could adversely affect our business.  The cost to us in complying with its warranty obligations in these cases may be significant if it is unable to recover the cost of repair from subcontractors, materials suppliers and insurers.  Further, the timing and quality of our construction depends on the availability and skill of subcontractors.  Although we believe that our relationships with our suppliers and subcontractors are good, there can be no assurance that skilled subcontractors will continue to be available at reasonable rates and in the areas in which we conducts our operations.  The inability to contract with skilled subcontractors or general contractors at reasonable costs on a timely basis could limit our ability to build and deliver buildings and could erode our profit margins and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
 
We may have difficulty protecting our proprietary technology.
 
Intellectual property and proprietary technology are important to the success of our business.  We rely primarily on trade secrets to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology.  While we intend to make the appropriate filings and protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology, there can be no assurance that we will be able to so.  In addition, it is difficult to protect against or monitor all possible misappropriations and unauthorized access to our intellectual property and technology.  To date, we have ordered prior art on five potential intellectual property claims.  Significant challenges in protecting our intellectual property and technology are posed by (a) funding limitations and (b) our rapidly evolving adaptation to new product/market/technology challenges.  Dissemination or dilution of the aforementioned intellectual property and technology could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
 
Growth of operations may strain resources and if we fail to manage growth successfully, our business could be adversely affected.
 
Increased orders for our product have placed, and may continue to place, a strain on our operational, financial and managerial resources and personnel.  Any failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.
 
Our exposure to foreign currency rate risks and inflation could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 We may be exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks and inflation with respect to our sales, profits, and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as a result of possible international operations.  As a result, we may suffer losses as a result of foreign currency rate fluctuations.
 
 
 
7

 
 
Our revenue growth rate depends on our ability to execute our business plan.
 
We may not be able to identify and maintain the necessary relationships within the industries in which we participate.  Our ability to execute our business plan also depends on other factors, including the ability to:
 
  
negotiate and maintain contracts and agreements with acceptable terms;
 
  
implement terms of contracts and agreements according to original specifications;
 
  
hire and train qualified personnel and retain key employees;
 
  
maintain an affordable labor force;
 
  
maintain marketing and development costs at affordable rates;
 
  
ensure the availability of project financing; and
 
  
effectively compete within domestic and international markets.
 
Failure to properly perform any of the foregoing may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.
 
We face continuous pricing pressure from our customers and our competitors.  This will affect our margins and therefore our profitability and cash flow unless we can efficiently manage our manufacturing costs and market our products based on superior quality.
 
Our customers often make purchase decisions based on product pricing.  Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we have, and as a result may be able to withstand the adverse effect of discounted pricing and reduced margins in order to build market share.  While one of our strategies is to offer competitive pricing in order to retain and increase market share, and to seek to manage its manufacturing efficiently to sustain acceptable margins, we may not be able to maintain appropriate prices or to manage product manufacturing costs sufficiently to sustain acceptable margins.  Similarly, we also seek to compete based on product quality rather than just price, but we may not be successful in these efforts.  This could adversely affect our profitability, liquidity and market share.
 
The sale and export of products to a foreign country involves inherent operational risks that may not be adequately covered by insurance.
 
We can give no assurance that we will be adequately insured against all risks or that our insurers will pay a particular claim.  The cost of insurance on foreign business may be substantial and could decrease profitability.  Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates in the future.  We may also be subject to claims by our customers involving disputes or situations that are beyond its control.  There is also a possibility of fraudulent claims or other illicit activities involving our transactions.  Any of these potentialities may give rise to a loss for which we are not insured, or adequately insured.
 
 
 
8

 
 
Our liability for estimated warranties may be inadequate, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
As a construction manager, we are subject to construction defect and warranty claims arising in the ordinary course of its business.  These claims are common in the construction management industry and can be costly.  At this time, the third party providers offer guarantees and warranties in accordance with industry standards that flow through to our clients.  Although we maintain reserves for such claims, which to date have been adequate, there can be no assurance that warranty expense levels will remain at current levels or that such reserves will continue to be adequate.  A large number of warranty claims exceeding our current warranty expense levels could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
 
We can be adversely effected by failures of persons who act on our behalf to comply with applicable regulations and guidelines.
 
Although we expect all of our associates (i.e., employees), officers and directors to comply at all times with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, there are instances in which subcontractors or others through whom we do business may engage in practices that do not comply with applicable regulations or guidelines.  It is possible that our associates may become aware of these practices but do not take steps to prevent them.  If we learn of practices relating to buildings it constructs that do not comply with applicable regulations or guidelines, we will move actively to stop the non-complying practices as soon as possible and we will take disciplinary action with regard to our associates who were aware of the practices, including in some instances terminating their employment.  However, regardless of the steps we take, we may be subject to fines or other governmental penalties, and our reputation may be injured.
 
The cyclical and seasonal nature of the construction and construction management industries causes our revenues and operating results to fluctuate, and we expect this cyclicality and seasonality to continue in the future.
 
The construction and construction management industries are highly cyclical and seasonal and is influenced by many international, national and regional economic factors including the availability of consumer and wholesale financing, seasonality of demand, consumer confidence, interest rates, income levels and general economic conditions, including inflation and recessions.  As a result of the foregoing factors, our revenues and operating results fluctuate, and we currently expect them to continue to fluctuate in the future.  Moreover, we have and may continue to experience operating losses during cyclical downturns in the construction and construction management market.
 
We may not be paid all amounts owed to us by our customers.
 
If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay amounts owed to us, or if our customers are otherwise unable or unwilling to pay us, or if bankruptcy courts require us to refund amounts paid to us, our earnings and financial position could be negatively impacted.

Risks Relating to the Construction and Construction Management Industries
 
The construction management industry suffers from a lack of third-party financing, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if additional third-party financing for the purchases of our buildings does not become available.
 
Our business and earnings depend substantially on our client’s ability to obtain financing for the development of their construction projects.  The availability and cost of such financing is further dependent on the number of financial institutions participating in the industry, the departure of financial institutions from the industry, the financial institutions’ lending practices, the strength of the domestic and international credit markets generally, governmental policies and other conditions, all of which are beyond our control.  In light of the current economic climate, some of our projects may not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all.  The availability of borrowed funds, especially for construction financing, has been greatly reduced, and lenders may require project developers to invest increased amounts of equity in a project in connection with both new loans and the extension of existing loans.  Unfavorable changes in the availability and terms of financing in the industry will have a material adverse effect on certain privately financed projects.
 
Our results of operations also depend on the ability of our potential privately financed customers to obtain loans for the purchase of new buildings.  Over the past few years, lenders have tightened the credit underwriting standards which have reduced lending volumes.  If this trend continues, it would negatively impact our sales.  Our sales depend in large part on the availability and cost of financing.  In addition, where our potential customers must sell their existing buildings or real estate in order to develop the new buildings, increases in mortgage costs and/or lack of availability of mortgages could prevent buyers of potential customers’ existing buildings from obtaining the mortgages they need to complete their purchases, which would result in our potential customers’ inability to make purchases from us.  If our potential buyers cannot obtain suitable financing, our sales and results of operations would be adversely affected.
 
The construction and construction management industries are highly competitive, and competition may increase the adverse effects of industry conditions.
 
We operate in a very competitive environment, which is characterized by competition from numerous local, regional and national builders and others in the real estate development business around the world.  We may compete for financing, raw materials and skilled management and labor resources.  We also compete with the rental market, as well as with the resale, or “previously owned,” building market, which has increased significantly due to the large number of foreclosures due to the current economic downturn.  An oversupply of buildings available for sale and the heavy discounting of building prices by some of our competitors could adversely affect demand for our buildings and our results of operations.  Increased competition could require us to further increase our selling incentives and/or reduce our prices which could negatively affect our profits.
 
Government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our projects, increase our expenses or limit our building activities, which could have a negative impact on our operations.
 
Various domestic and international rules and regulations concerning building, zoning, sales and similar matters apply to and/or affect the construction and construction management industries.  Governmental regulation affects construction activities as well as sales activities, mortgage lending activities and other dealings with consumers.  These industries also have experienced an increase in domestic state and local legislation and regulations that limit the availability or use of land.  Municipalities may also restrict or place moratoriums on the availability of utilities, such as water and sewer taps.  In some areas, municipalities may enact growth control initiatives, which will restrict the number of building permits available in a given year.  In addition, we may be required to apply for additional approvals or modify our existing approvals because of changes in local circumstances or applicable law.  If governments in locations in which we operate take actions like these, it could have an adverse effect on our business by causing delays, increasing our costs or limiting our ability to operate in those areas.  Further, we may experience delays and increased expenses as a result of legal challenges to our proposed projects, whether brought by governmental authorities or private parties.  Failure to comply with laws or regulations applicable to or affecting us, or the passage in the future of new and more stringent laws affecting us, may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Supply risks and shortages relating to labor and materials can harm our business by delaying construction and increasing costs.
 
Though the availability of talented consultants and subcontractors is high in the current economic environment, the construction and construction management industries from time to time have experienced significant difficulties with respect to:
 
  
shortages of materials;
 
  
volatile or sustained increases in the cost of raw materials, including containers, traditional finish materials which are significant components of its construction costs;
 
  
shortages of qualified trades people and other labor;
 
  
changes in laws relating to union organizing activity;
 
  
inadequately capitalized or uninsured local subcontractors;
 
  
lack of availability of adequate utility infrastructure and services; and
 
  
transportation cost increases.
 
These difficulties can, and often do, cause unexpected short-term increases in construction costs and cause construction delays.  In addition, to the extent our subcontractors incur increased costs associated with higher insurance premiums and compliance with regulations, these costs may be passed on to us.  We are generally unable to pass on any unexpected increases in construction costs to those customers who have already entered into sales contracts, as those contracts generally fix the price of the building at the time the contract is signed.  Pricing competition, oversupply of new and existing buildings and tightening mortgage qualifications, among other factors may restrict our ability to pass on any additional costs, and may negatively impact its profit margins.
 
We have not experienced any work stoppages due to strikes by unionized workers, but there is no assurance that there will not be any work stoppages due to strikes or other job actions in the future.

Risks Relating to the Merger
 
As a result of the merger between a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and SG Building in November 2011, we have become subject to more reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive.
 
As a result of the Merger between a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and SG Building in November 2011, we have become an operating company. See the section entitled “Description of Business - History - SG Blocks Merger”, for a description of the Merger.  Accordingly, we may be subject to more information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other Federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including reporting of the Merger) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders may increase and may cause our expenses to be higher.
 
In addition, it may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
Because we were previously a shell company and acquired an operating entity by means of a reverse merger with one of our subsidiaries, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
 
There may be risks associated with us formerly being a shell company and acquiring an operating entity through a “reverse merger”.  Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock.  No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf.
 
Risks Relating to our common stock
 
Our stock price may be volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
 
  
technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
 
  
intellectual property disputes;
 
  
additions or departures of key personnel;
 
  
sales of our common stock;
 
  
our ability to execute our business plan;
 
  
operating results that fall below expectations;
 
 
 
12

 
 
  
loss of any strategic relationship;
 
  
industry developments;
 
  
economic and other external factors; and
 
  
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Our limited operating history makes evaluating our common stock more difficult, and therefore, investors have limited information upon which to rely.
 
We have limited historical data upon which to forecast operating expenses or future needs and operating results.  Our limited operating history will make it difficult for investors to evaluate our business and prospects.  Investors must consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties we face as an early stage company with a limited operating history, new organizational structure and operating in a highly regulated and competitive industry.
 
Our directors, executive officers and affiliated persons beneficially own a substantial number of shares of  our common stock, which gives them significant control over certain major decisions upon which its stockholders may vote and may discourage an acquisition of the Company.
 
Our executive officers, directors and affiliated persons beneficially own a substantial number of shares of our common stock.  The interests of our officers, directors and affiliated persons (as stockholders) may differ from the interests of other stockholders.  As a result, these officers, directors and affiliated persons will have significant influence over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:
 
  
elect or defeat the election of the our directors;
 
  
amend or prevent amendment the our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws;
 
  
effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
 
  
control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.
 
Management’s ownership of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce its stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over its stock price.
 
 
 
13

 
 
Trading of our common stock may be restricted by Blue Sky eligibility and our common stock may be deemed a “penny stock”, which would make it more difficult for the Company’s investors to sell their shares.
 
We currently are not Blue Sky eligible in certain states so trading of the Company’s stock in such states may be restricted. In addition, our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act.  The penny stock rules apply to non-Nasdaq companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years).  These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances.  Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited.  If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, that could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities.  If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the common stock.  In addition, the Blue Sky eligibility rules may discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, the common stock.
 
Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc., it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.
 
Sale of a substantial number of shares of the common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
 
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of the common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall.  These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that it deems reasonable or appropriate.
 
The exercise of outstanding warrants and options will dilute the percentage ownership of then-existing stockholders.
 
As of the date of this Prospectus, there are outstanding Warrants to purchase 1,044,584 shares of common stock and options to purchase 5,397,500 shares of common stock.  The options were granted under our 2011 Incentive Stock Plan.  The exercise of such outstanding warrants and options would dilute the then-existing stockholders' percentage ownership of the Company's stock, and any sales in the public market of common stock underlying such securities could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock.  Moreover, the terms upon which the Company would be able to obtain additional equity capital could be adversely affected since the holders of such securities can be expected to exercise them at a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to the Company than those provided by such securities.  See sections entitled "Executive Compensation - Stock Options" and "Description of Capital Stock".
 
The issuance of additional securities by the Board will dilute the ownership interests of our current stockholders and could discourage the acquisition of the Company.
 
Our Board, without any action by our stockholders, is authorized to designate and issue additional classes or series of capital stock (including classes or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such classes or series.  The issuance of any new class or series of capital stock would not only dilute the ownership interest of our current stockholders but may also adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of common stock.  The rights of holders of preferred stock and other classes of common stock that may be issued may be superior to the rights of the holders of the existing class of common stock in terms of the payment of ordinary and liquidating dividends and voting rights.
 
 
 
14

 
 
In addition, the ability of the Board to designate and issue such undesignated shares could impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal regarding the Company and the issuance of additional shares having preferential rights could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of common stock and render more difficult the removal of current management, even if such removal may be in the stockholders’ best interests.  See the sections titled “Description of Securities - Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws for a more detailed description of the Company’s securities and the anti-takeover effect of Delaware law and certain provisions in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.
 
Additional equity offerings may dilute current stockholders.
 
As a result of acquisitions or additional capital raisings, we may issue additional securities or instruments that may by convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitle the holder thereof to receive common stock.  The issuance of such additional securities will dilute the ownership of our then current stockholders.
 
If we do not implement necessary internal control over financial reporting in an efficient and timely manner, or if we discover deficiencies and weaknesses in existing systems and controls, we could be subject to regulatory enforcement and investors may lose confidence in our ability to operate in compliance with existing internal control rules and regulations, either of which could result in a decline in our stock price.
 
It may be difficult to design and implement effective internal control over financial reporting for combined operations as the Company integrates the business of SG Building it acquired as a result of the Merger, and perhaps other acquired businesses in the future.  In addition, differences in existing controls of acquired businesses may result in weaknesses that require remediation when internal controls over financial reporting are combined.
 
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, we may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud.  If we are unable to assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective at any time in the future, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to attest to the effectiveness of internal controls, is unable to deliver a report at all or can deliver only a qualified report, we could be subject to regulatory enforcement and investors may lose confidence in our ability to operate in compliance with existing internal control rules and regulations, either of which could result in a decline in the our stock price.
 
We do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
 
We have never paid nor do we expect in the foreseeable future to pay any dividends.
 
There is a limited trading market for our common stock.
 
Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board since 1999 and is currently quoted under the symbol “SGBX”.  Prior to November 9, 2011, our common stock was quoted under the symbol “CDSI.”  There is a limited trading market in our shares and a stockholder could likely find it difficult to sell or to obtain quotations as to prices of our common stock.  During 2010, the average daily trading volume of our common stock was approximately 1,209 shares, with 207 days of 252 trading days having no trading activity.  Between consummation of the Merger on November 4, 2011, and December 1, 2011, the average daily trading volume of our common stock was approximately 5,852 shares, with 7 days of 17 trading days having no trading activity.

No assurances can be given that our common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or that an orderly trading market will be maintained for our common stock.

History
 
Background of SG Blocks, Inc.
 
The Company was previously known as CDSI Holdings, Inc. and PC411, Inc., and was incorporated in Delaware on December 29, 1993.  On January 12, 1999, the Company’s stockholders voted to change the corporate name of the Company from PC411, Inc. to CDSI Holdings Inc.  Prior to May 1998, the Company’s principal business was an on-line electronic delivery information service that transmitted name, address, telephone number and other related information digitally to users of personal computers.  In May 1998, the Company acquired Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc. (“CDS”), a company engaged in the marketing and leasing of an inventory control system for tobacco products.  In February 2000, the Company announced that CDS, will no longer actively engage in the business of marketing and leasing the inventory control system.  In November 2003, the Company and CDS (a wholly-owned subsidiary) merged, with the Company as the surviving corporation.  Immediately Prior to the merger between the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CDSI Merger Sub, Inc. and SG Building (described below under the heading “SG Blocks Merger”) the Company was a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, seeking acquisition and investment opportunities.
 
Background of SG Building Blocks, Inc.
 
On October 25, 2010, SG Blocks, LLC (“SG LLC”), a Missouri limited liability company, merged with and into SG Building, which then continued the business of SG LLC. SG LLC was formed on January 23, 2007 and SG Building (formerly SG Blocks, Inc.) was formed in Delaware on August 16, 2010.  SG Building was not engaged in any business prior to the merger with SG LLC in 2010.
 
SG Blocks Merger
 
On July 27, 2011, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, CDSI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), SG Building, and certain stockholders of SG Building.  The merger contemplated by Merger Agreement was completed on November 4, 2011 (the “Merger”).  Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into SG Building, with SG Building surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary, and only operating business of, the Company.  The Merger was a reverse merger that will be accounted for as a recapitalization of SG Building, and accordingly SG Building is deemed to be the accounting acquirer.
 
Upon consummation of the Merger, the holders of common stock of SG Building received an aggregate of 36,050,764 shares of common stock in the Company.  Additionally, Ladenburg received in the Merger 408,750 shares of Company common stock pursuant to contractual obligations between SG Building and Ladenburg. Upon consummation of the Merger, all outstanding SG Building warrants were cancelled and substituted with warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 1,145,510 shares of Company common stock.  Immediately following the Merger, warrants to purchase 100,926 shares of Company common stock were forfeited by a warrant holder.  As a result of the foregoing, the holders of Company common stock prior to the Merger owned an aggregate of 8% of the Company common stock on a fully diluted basis immediately after the Merger, the stockholders and warrant holders of SG Building before the Merger beneficially owned an aggregate of 91% of the Company common stock on a fully diluted basis immediately after the Merger, and Ladenburg owned an aggregate of 1% of the Company common stock on a fully diluted basis immediately after the Merger (not including warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock it received in the Merger as a result of it holding warrants to purchase shares of SG Building common stock prior to the Merger).

Overview
 
The principal business of the Company, through SG Building, is to provide code engineered cargo shipping containers. SG Building modifies and delivers containers to meet the growing demand for safe and green construction. Rather than consuming new steel and lumber, SG Building capitalizes on the structural engineering and design parameters a shipping container must meet and repurposes them for use in building. Offering a product that typically exceeds building code requirements, SG Building seeks to enable developers, architects, builders and owners to achieve greener construction, faster execution and stronger buildings of higher value. Since its inception in 2007, SG Building has developed and implemented the technology to break away from standardized container-construction while maintaining reduced costs. Committed to providing a construction methodology that will lessen the global carbon footprint, SG Building does not simply recycle (which requires additional energy consumption to break down material and then reform it for another purposes) — it utilizes existing steel material and repurposes it into modules that can be put to a higher and better use with significantly less energy input. In addition to providing code engineered cargo shipping containers for construction use, SG Building also continues to advance a patent pending structural steel framing system and the use thereof.
 
SG Building’s products have been featured in reports by several leading media outlets including Fortune, NY Post, USA Today, CNN, Washington Post, ABC World News, NBC Nightly News and Bob Vila. In addition, Popular Mechanics selected one of SG Building’s buildings as a “best green design” in its April 2009 edition.
 
Description of Business
 
SG Building first selects shipping containers appropriate for the project, often that have reached the end of their useful life. These durable steel containers are then designed, proprietarily engineered and manufactured into a modified structure that is referred to in this “Description of Business” section as “SG BlocksTM”.  A combination of engineering and architecture are used to make the containers adaptable for a wide variety of uses including housing, office buildings, barracks, hotels, schools, dormitories, hospitals, clinics and institutional facilities.
 
From a design perspective, SG BlocksTM can be used to build virtually any style of construction, from traditional to modern. SG BlocksTM can be delivered with a highly durable surface finish or ready to be clad with any type of standard or green technology friendly building skin.
 
SG BlocksTM have a particular application in meeting safe and sustainable housing needs in the United States and globally. The building system is designed to meet the needs of builders, developers, government officials, urban planners, architects, and engineers looking for fast and affordable alternatives that meet safe housing needs and standards, particularly in hurricane and earthquake prone areas. Criteria and testing processes have been developed to evaluate each container. Conversion and assembly is subjected to quality control, making the containers “code-ready.” Conformance with International Code Council requirements is an ongoing objective as this standard is used by a vast majority of governmental jurisdictions in the United States.
 
SG Building is a hands-off supplier. Partners, affiliates and customers carry the responsibility for container storage, modification, transportation and welding, leaving SG Building to manage the logistical task of coordinating the efforts of its strategic partners. These alliances help SG Building maintain a steady supply of containers available around the world. SG Building is actively exploring international opportunities, including in Brazil where it has formed a subsidiary.

Green Building
 
There is a worldwide movement toward green and carbon neutrality. Sustainable or “green” building is the practice of designing, constructing, operating, maintaining and removing buildings in ways that conserve natural resources and reduce their impact on climate change. Builders are increasingly incorporating “green” components in all projects as they adopt the LEED system, a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. We believe SG Building’s structural system contributes significantly towards LEED certification, and help minimize the wasteful practices of traditional construction methods.
 
Description of the Product
 
SG Building’s structural building system represents a change from the way buildings have typically been built in the past. It also represents a contribution to the greening of the construction industry with the advancement of new technology. Of great importance to the technology is the recycling of standard shipping containers. Intermodal containers generally come in either 40 foot or 20 foot long units that are either 8’6” (standard cube) or 9’6” (high cube).
 
The payload rating in a shipping configuration for a 40 foot container is roughly 60,000 pounds. The payload rating normally associated with residential or commercial structures is in most cases half of that amount. These units are designed for 9-high stacking aboard ships. The structures in this condition need to be able to withstand 15 long tons of load transversely and 7.5 long tons longitudinally. This far exceeds any gravity or lateral loads a normal residential or commercial building will ever experience.
 
This strong structure is the beginning of the SG Building building system. Various combinations as desired of siding, brick, and stucco can be added and the interior finished as any conventional structure would be. Upon completion, structures look and feel as if they were erected using traditional construction methods. However, the SG Building product is generally stronger, more durable, environmentally sensitive, and finished in less time than traditional construction methods.
 
The Process of the SG Building Conversion
 
Containers are selected, tested and evaluated against SG Building’s engineering, environmental, and utilization criteria and standards. The used containers are then certified as SG Building, ready for the manufacturing and fabrication processes. SG Building then provides specific and detailed engineering and fabrication details and modifies the containers in various configurations which often require structural changes, wall reconfigurations, the creation of window and door openings, and ceiling alterations to allow sheetrock hanging. The exterior walls and roof structure are then insulated with a high tech waterproof ceramic insulation. The SG BlocksTM are then shipped directly to the building site or are run through a modular factory and then delivered to the site. The builder places them into position on their foundation and connects them together by welding. The builder may then add roof trusses or other roof systems, and quickly the builder has an insulated structure under roof. The potential for savings in building time can be significant, particularly if interior pre-finish modularization is introduced at this step.
 
Historical Use of Shipping Containers in Construction
 
Although shipping containers have been reused as building structures since their introduction in the 1950s, such applications have been limited. Typically, shipping containers have been re-used to provide temporary shelter or storage. However, the idea of fabricating containers in large quantities for the building sector market is a relatively novel idea.
 
 
 
20

 
 
Over the past few years, several companies and individuals have been touting the use of shipping containers for construction purposes. Very few, however, have actually designed and built structures to meet building code requirements. In contrast, SG Building has already completed projects for the US Military, municipalities and Fortune 500 companies. As a result, we believe SG Building is positioned as the leader in this new technology industry.
 
We believe SG Building has debunked the architectural notion that structures built with containers look as if they were built with containers. Through concentrated education and promotion, we believe SG Building has already begun to position its concept into the vocabulary of the architecture and building industries.
 
Competition
 
The construction industry is highly competitive. SG Building competes against numerous local, regional, national and international builders and others in the real estate business around the world. Going forward, SG Building is committed to further educating the building community on the benefits of its technology to illustrate SG Building is more of a complement to than competition for builders. SG Building may compete for investment opportunities, financing, available land, raw materials and skilled labor with entities that possess greater financial, marketing and other resources than it does. Competition may increase if there is future consolidation in the land development and construction industry or from new building technologies that could arise. Additionally, many of those working with containers focus on the architecture and design element. As they are not fabricators, SG Building can provide the final product.
 
We believe SG Building can distinguish itself from its competitors on the basis of cost and construction time. SG Building’s construction method is typically 10% to 20% less expensive than traditional construction methods, particularly in urban locations and multi-story projects. Construction time is typically reduced by 30 – 40% using SG Building’s construction method, reducing construction and soft costs substantially. The SG BlocksTM are designed to be hurricane, tornado and blast resistant, able to withstand harsh climate conditions and their flexibility of construction allows architects, developers, and owners to design the product to meet their needs.
 
Having already worked with regulatory agencies and obtained jurisdictional approvals from building departments, SG Building has gained practical experience needed to complement its engineering, architectural and technological knowledge. Standard permit approvals at the municipal level is the principal compliance and approval requirement for SG Building.
 
Intellectual Property
 
The creation of a proprietary, patentable intellectual property platform, driven by technological innovation, is a central strategy and a key differentiator for SG Building. This use of advanced technology is positioning SG Building as a primary resource for container based structure information and support. Such advanced application of technology creates a valuable marketing and closing tool for leads, a barrier to competitive entry, and is a cornerstone in the strategic development of SG Building’s global, scalable business platform. SG Building is now routinely called upon to provide the product for innovative architects who design container based systems. SG Building relies primarily on trade secrets to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technology at this time.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules included elsewhere in this prospectus.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, intensified competition and/or operating problems in its operating business projects and their impact on revenues and profit margins or additional factors, and those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus.  In addition, certain information presented below is based on unaudited financial information. There can be no assurance that there will not be changes to this information once audited financial information is available.
 
General
 
SG Building, our wholly-owned subsidiary and only operating business, offers the construction industry a safer, greener, faster, longer lasting and more economical alternative to conventional construction methods. SG Building redesigns, repurposes, and converts heavy-gauge steel cargo shipping containers into safe green building blocks for commercial, industrial, and residential building construction.
 
On July 27, 2011, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into SG Building (known as SG Blocks, Inc. prior to the Merger), with SG Building surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Upon consummation of the Merger, SG Building became the principal operating business of the Company and the Company was renamed “SG Blocks, Inc.”
 
SG Building is a provider of code engineered cargo shipping containers that it modifies and delivers to meet the growing demand for safe and green construction. Rather than consuming new steel and lumber, SG Building capitalizes on the structural engineering and design parameters a shipping container must meet and repurposes them for use in building.
 
Upon consummation of the Merger, the holders of common stock of SG Building received an aggregate of 36,050,764 shares of Company common stock. Additionally, Ladenburg received in the Merger 408,750 shares of Company common stock. Upon consummation of the Merger, all outstanding SG Building warrants were cancelled and substituted with Company warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 1,145,510 shares of Company common stock. Immediately following the Merger, warrants to purchase 100,926 shares of Company common stock were forfeited by a warrant holder.
 
The Merger was a reverse merger that will be accounted for as a recapitalization of SG Building, and accordingly SG Building is deemed to be the accounting acquirer.

Net Loss
  $ (1,247,644 )   $ (299,119 )   $ (948,525 )

Revenue
 
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,916,565 compared to $478,340 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase of $1,438,225 results from significantly increased block “green steel” sales to a single customer (2010 sales of approximately $990,000 vs 2009 sales of approximately 285,000)  and an increase in new engineering and project management jobs during 2010.
 
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
 
Cost of revenue increased by $1,049,466 to $1,339,159 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $289,693 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in cost of revenue results from an increase in sales offset by a decrease in the gross profit percentage.  Gross profit increased to $577,406 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from a gross profit of $188,647 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The gross profit percentage was 30.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a gross profit percentage of 39.4% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  This decrease in gross profit percentage results from a decrease in gross profit percent in engineering (from 58.9% in 2009 to 42.4% in  2010) and project management (from 49.1% in 2009 to 20.1 % in 2010) projects offset by an increase in the gross profit percent in block “green steel” sales (from 29.6% in 2009 to 32.5% in 2010). The decrease in gross profit percentage for engineering and project management projects resulted from jobs which were priced below our normal margin in order to obtain product acceptance and building approvals.
 
Payroll and Related Expense
 
Payroll and related expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $963,075 compared to $172,537 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase of $790,538 results from an increase in sales, marketing and administrative personnel.
 
Other Operating Expenses
 
Other operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $548,189 compared to $234,247 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase of $313,942 results from an increase of approximately (i) $81,000 in consulting and professional fees, (ii) $65,000 in marketing costs, (iii) $25,000 in travel and entertainment expenses,  (iv) $64,000 in insurance costs and (v) $78,000 other general and administrative expenses.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $ 396,155 compared to $81,083 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase results from the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the convertible notes and related debt discount and contractual interest on increased borrowings.
 
 
 
24

 
 
Other income (expense)
 
During 2010 there was other income recognized from a cancellation of trade liabilities and accrued interest of $73,057 while there were no such debt cancellations during 2009.  Additionally in 2010 there was other income of $9,275 recognized due to a change in fair value of derivative conversion option liabilities.
 
Income Tax Provision
 
A 100% valuation allowance was provided against the deferred tax asset consisting of available net operating loss carryforwards and accordingly no income tax benefit was provided.
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months ended September 30, 2010:

Net Loss
  $ (1,136,551 )   $ (586,351 )   $ (550,200 )

Revenue
 
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2,821,613 compared to $1,538,013 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase of $1,283,600 results from an increase of $1,799,728 in block “green steel” sales reduced by $516,128 of lower sales in engineering and project management jobs.
 
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
 
Cost of revenue increased by $1,369,077 to $2,417,082 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $1,048,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cost of revenue results from an increase in sales offset by a decrease in the gross profit percentage.  Gross profit decreased to $404,531 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from a gross profit of $490,008 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The gross profit percentage was 14.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to a gross profit percentage of 31.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease in gross profit percentage results from a decrease in the gross profit percent in block “green steel” sales (from 33.5% during the period in 2010 compared to 13.3% during the period in 2011) offset by an increase in gross profit percent in project management (from 25.6% during the period in 2010 to 44.4% during the period in 2011) and engineering (from 45.2% during the period in 2010 to 68.7% during the period in 2011). The decrease in the gross profit percentage for block “green steel”  sales was partially the result of the Company bidding projects with lower than usual gross profit margins in order to achieve regulatory approvals and establish market share and proof of concept in certain product  classes. The Company intends to leverage these initial projects to successfully execute similar projects at higher gross margin percentages. The decrease in gross profit percentage also resulted from an increase in commodities costs related to containers used in production.
 
Payroll and Related Expense
 
Payroll and related expense was relatively unchanged for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 ($697,305) compared to compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 ($704,207).
 
 
 
25

 
 
Other Operating Expenses
 
Other operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $853,948 compared to $277,056 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of $576,892 results from an increase of approximately (i) $326,000 in consulting and professional fees, (ii) $97,000 in marketing costs, (iii) $70,000 in travel and entertainment expenses, and (iv) $84,000 of general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses partially increased by approximately $125,000 due to non-recurring legal and accounting fees associated with the Merger.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2,520 compared to $146,388 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease results from the maturity and payment or conversion of outstanding interest bearing debts.
 
Other income (expense)
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 there was other income recognized from (1) cancellation of trade liabilities and unpaid interest of $61,733 and $41,982, respectively and (2) a change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $49,111 and ($9,275), respectively.
 
Income Tax Provision
 
A 100% valuation allowance was provided against the deferred tax asset consisting of available net operating loss carryforwards and accordingly no income tax benefit was provided.
 
Impact of Inflation
 
The impact of inflation upon SG Building’s revenue and results from continuing operations during each of the past two fiscal years has not been material to its financial position or results of operations for those years.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since SG Building’s inception in 2008, SG Building has generated losses from operations and it anticipates that it will continue to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, SG Building’s stockholders’ equity/(deficit) was approximately $440,200 and ($1,191,200), respectively. SG Building’s net loss from operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $933,858 and $218,137, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $646,267 and $804,405 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Operations since inception have been funded with the proceeds from equity and debt financings and sales activity. As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,038,661.  As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $955,136.  We anticipate that our existing capital resources will enable us to continue operations through at least October 1, 2012.
 
SG Building incurred a net loss of $1,247,644 for the year ended December 31, 2010. SG Building’s cash balance as of December 31, 2010 was $1,038,661 and SG Building had working capital as of that date of $435,793.
 
 
 
26

 
 
Since inception, SG Building has funded its operations and working capital needs primarily with proceeds from equity and debt financings and sales activity. During 2009, SG Building generated net cash proceeds of $1,027,858 from the issuance of notes payable and capital contributions. During 2009, SG Building repaid  $124,834 of outstanding notes payable. During 2010, SG Building generated net cash proceeds of $2,739,797 from the issuance of notes payable and issuance of common stock. During 2010, SG Building repaid $999,224 of outstanding notes payable. Also, from January 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011 SG Building generated net cash proceeds of $1,200,000 from the issuance of common stock.
 
Based on the recent progress SG Building made in the execution of its business plan, we believe that our currently available cash, which includes funds we expect to generate from operations, will enable us to operate our business through at least October 1, 2012.  However, SG Building will require additional capital in order to execute the longer term aspects of its business plan.  If we are unable to raise additional capital or encounter unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on our capital resources, we will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing business development activities or suspending the pursuit of our business plan. We cannot provide any assurance that we will raise additional capital. We have not secured any commitments for new financing at this time, nor can we provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on acceptable terms, if at all.
 
Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December, 2010 and September 30, 2011, SG Building had no material off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases.
 
In the ordinary course of business, SG Building enters into agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions which, in its judgment, are normal and customary for companies in its industry sector. These agreements are typically with consultants and certain vendors. Pursuant to these agreements, SG Building generally agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties with respect to actions taken or omitted by SG Building. The maximum potential amount of future payments SG Building could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. SG Building has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. As a result, the estimated fair value of liabilities relating to these provisions is minimal. Accordingly, SG Building has no liabilities recorded for these provisions as of December 31, 2010.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
Share-Based Payments. SG Building adopted authoritative accounting guidance which establishes standards for share-based transactions in which we receive employee's services in exchange for equity instruments, such as common stock. These authoritative accounting standards require that we expense the fair value of stock options and similar awards, as measured on the awards' grant date.
 
 
 
27

 
 
SG Building estimates the value of stock awards using valuation models developed by the Company. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by our stock price as determined by the valuation model and the assumptions used regarding a number of complex and subjective variables.
 
If factors change and SG Building employs different assumptions in the application of the relevant accounting guidance in future periods, the compensation expense that it records may differ significantly from what it has recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when determining the fair value of our stock to estimate share-based compensation. Consequently, there is a risk that SG Building’s estimates of the fair values of its share-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination or forfeiture of those share-based payments. Employee stock grants may be forfeited as worthless or otherwise result in zero value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in SG Building’s financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in SG Building’s financial statements.
 
Derivative Instruments. Since inception, SG Building has issued warrants to purchase its common stock and convertible notes. In accordance with current accounting guidelines, SG Building has treated these derivative financial instruments as liabilities on its balance sheet, measured at fair value at issuance date, and re-measured at fair value on each reporting date. SG Building records changes in the fair value of these derivative liabilities in income or loss on each balance sheet date. SG Building uses both a Black-Scholes option and lattice pricing model, which uses the underlying price of its common stock as one of the inputs to determine the fair value at issuance date and at each subsequent reporting period. As a result, the fair value of the derivative instruments is impacted by changes in the market price of its common stock. The market price of its common stock can be volatile and is subject to factors beyond SG Building’s control. These factors include, but are not limited to, trends in the industry in which SG Building operates, the market of OTCBB quoted stocks in general and sales of SG Building’s common stock. As a result, the value of its common stock may change from measurement date to measurement date, thereby resulting in fluctuations in the fair value of the derivative instruments, which can materially impact its operating results.
 
Revenue Recognition. SG Building accounts for its long-term contracts associated with the design, engineering, manufacture and project management of building projects and related services, using the percentage-of-completion accounting method. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the long-term contract.
 
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs, marketing and business development expenses and pre-project expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
 
The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billing on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billing in excess of revenue recognized.
 
 
 
28

 
 
SG Building offers a one-year warranty on completed contracts. SG Building has not incurred any losses to date and nor does it anticipate incurring any losses for warranties that are currently outstanding.  Accordingly no warranty reserve is considered necessary for any of the periods presented.
 
SG Building also supplies repurposed containers to its customers. In these cases, SG Building serves as a supplier to its customers for standard and made to order products that it sells at fixed prices. Revenue from these contracts is generally recognized when the products have been delivered to the customer, accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized upon completion of the following: an order for product is received from a customer; written approval for the payment schedule is received from the customer and the corresponding required deposit or payments are received; a common carrier signs documentation accepting responsibility for the unit as agent for the customer; and the unit is delivered to the customer’s shipping point.
 
Amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Products sold are generally paid for based on schedules provided for in each individual customer contract including upfront deposits and progress payments as products are being manufactured.
 
Funds received in advance of meeting the criteria for revenue recognition are deferred and are recorded as revenue when they are earned.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on SG Building’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures and removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on SG Building’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 –Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. Embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting as clarified by recently issued FASB guidance. Other embedded credit-derivative features are required to be analyzed to determine whether they must be accounted for separately. This update provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. The guidance is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on SG Building’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 
29

 
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. SG Building is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard.
 
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Generally, this ASU is not intended to change the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. It is not expected to have any material impact on SG Building’s s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

The amounts allocated were immaterial for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010.

On March 26, 2009, the Company entered into a $50,000 Revolving Credit Promissory Note (the “Revolver”) with Vector due December 31, 2012. The loan bears interest at 11% per year. There was a balance $37,500 outstanding under the Revolver at December 31, 2010.  On January 26, 2011, the Company and Vector entered into an amendment to the Revolver increasing the amount that it may borrow thereunder from $50,000 to $100,000.  As of November 18, 2011, the Revolver had $73,500 of principal and $11,253.15 of interest outstanding.
 
As a pre-Merger stockholder of SG Building and now a stockholder of the Company, Vector received 2,018,519 shares of Company common stock in exchange for the SG Building common stock it held at the time of the Merger.  Messrs. Lampen and Kirkland are each executive officers of Vector.
 
Transactions with Ladenburg
 
In October and December 2010, Ladenburg acted as placement agent for SG Building in a private placement and raised aggregate gross proceeds of $2,875,000 (the “Private Placement”). Ladenburg was paid an aggregate cash fee of $201,250 for its services in the Private Placement and was also issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock of SG Building, which represents the right to purchase an aggregate of 1,044,584 shares of Company common stock. SG Building also agreed that if Ladenburg introduced it to an existing publicly traded company with which to consummate a merger, it would cause Ladenburg to be issued shares of common stock of the combined merger entity equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of such entity on a fully diluted basis.  Ladenburg introduced the Company to SG Building and accordingly, was issued an aggregate of 408,750 shares of Company common stock (representing 1% of the Company’s stock on a fully diluted basis at the time of the Merger) upon consummation of the Merger. Vector invested $500,000 in SG Building as part of the Private Placement.
 
Mr. Lampen is the president and chief executive officer of Ladenburg’s parent company. Additionally, Vector, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns approximately 8% of the outstanding common stock of Ladenburg.
 
Director Independence and Board Committees
 
Prior to consummation of the Merger on November 4, 2011, our Board of Directors consisted of Messrs. Lampen, Kirkland, Halpryn and Lundgren. Upon consummation of the Merger, Messrs. Halpryn and Lundren resigned and Paul Galvin, Joseph Tacopina, Stevan Armstrong, J. Scott Magrane and Christopher Melton were appointed to our Board of Directors.
 
We currently utilize the definition of “independent” set forth in the NASDAQ Stock Market’s listing standards.  We believe that Messrs. Kirkland, Tacopina, Magrane and Melton are “independent” as defined by NASDAQ listing standards and under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.
 
We currently have an audit committee consisting of J. Bryant Kirkland III, J. Scott Magrane and Christopher Melton each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Kirkland is an “audit committee financial expert.” Prior to consummation of the Merger, our Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Lundgren and Halpryn, with Mr. Lundgren being the “audit committee financial expert.”
 
As the Company is not a “listed company” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are not required to have a compensation committee.  Furthermore, we do not believe it is necessary for the Board of Directors to appoint such committee, or have a separately designated lead director, because the volume of matters that came before the Board of Directors for consideration permits all directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have established a Stock Option Committee consisting of Messrs. Magrane and Melton, which is responsible for reviewing and approving all stock option grants.
 
 
 
36

 
 
The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee because the Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time. Given the scope of our operations, the Board of Directors believes a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level.  Currently, the entire Board of Directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of any member of the Board of Directors, followed by a review by the Board of Directors of the candidates’ resumes and interviews of candidates.
 
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing risk management, and receives reports from management periodically.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships among the Company’s existing or incoming directors or officers.

On November 7, 2011, we entered into the Wasserman Agreement with Mr Wasserman and BAW, which provides for certain consulting services to be provided by BAW and for Mr. Wasserman to serve as our Chief Financial Officer from November 7, 2011 until November 7, 2014, unless the Agreement is terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the Wasserman Agreement).  The Wasserman Agreement provides that BAW will be paid $10,000 per month and for Mr. Wasserman will receive options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock at fair market value on the grant date ($0.20); one-third of which vest on the grant date, one-third vesting on November 7, 2012, and the remaining one-third vesting on November 7, 2013.
 
Stock Options
 
On July 27, 2011, in connection with the Merger, the Company obtained the written consent of holders of a majority of its outstanding common stock approving the 2011 Incentive Stock Plan.  The 2011 Plan covers up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock, and is designed to enable us to offer our employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors whose services are considered valuable an opportunity to acquire an interest in the Company, to encourage a sense of proprietorship in the Company and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The various types of incentive awards that may be provided under the 2011 Plan (including options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights) are intended to enable us to respond to changes in compensation practices, tax laws, accounting regulations and the size and diversity of its business.  All of our officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors, as well as those of its subsidiaries, are eligible to be granted awards under the 2011 Plan.  An incentive stock option may be granted under the 2011 Plan only to a person who, at the time of the grant, is an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries.  The 2011 Plan expires on July 26, 2021 and is administered by the Company’s Board.
 
2011 Option Grants
 
 On November 7, 2011 and November 11, 2011, the Stock Option Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors granted an aggregate 4,387,500 options to purchase common stock to the Named Executive Officers and certain other employees of the Company, to directors of the Company and to Mr. Wasserman, who is serving as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company pursuant to the Wasserman Agreement (the “2011 Options”), and approved the granting of 2,000,000 more options to Mr. Galvin (the “Galvin Options”) on January 2, 2012, which are to be granted on same terms as the 2011 Options.  The 2011 Options are 10 year options and were granted under the 2011 Plan at fair market value (as defined in the 2011 Plan) and, as approved by the Stock Option Committee, the Galvin Options (when granted) will be granted at fair market value on the day of grant.  One third of the 2011 Options and the Galvin Options vest upon grant, the second third vests on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining third vests on the second anniversary of the grant date.

The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.  The following table provides, as of December 1, 2011, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each selling stockholder, the shares that may be sold by each selling stockholder under this prospectus and the number and percentage of shares of common stock that each selling stockholder will beneficially own after this offering.  Applicable percentages are based on 39,779,506 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 1, 2011.

Because each selling stockholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of the shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be beneficially owned by a selling stockholder upon termination of this offering.  For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders and further assumed that the selling stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares during the offering.  In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the shares of our common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) after the date on which the information in the table is presented.
 
In connection with the Merger Agreement, we entered into an escrow agreement on November 4, 2011, with SG Building, a representative of the shareholders of SG Building and a representative of our stockholders (the “Escrow Agreement”) in order to provide for any payment to which we may be entitled with respect to our post-closing rights to indemnification under the Merger Agreement.  Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the former shareholders of SG Building placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) a total of 817,500 shares of common stock received by them in the Merger, which escrowed shares includes 427,974 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders and covered by this prospectus.  Such shares of common stock held in escrow will be our sole remedy for our rights to indemnification under the Merger Agreement.  Claims for indemnification may be asserted by us until the 5th business day after we have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change this selling stockholders list and the shares that may be resold.
 
See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the stockholders’ method of distributing these shares.

In October and December 2010, Ladenburg acted as placement agent for SG Building in a private placement and raised aggregate gross proceeds of $2,875,000 (the “Private Placement”). Ladenburg was paid an aggregate cash fee of $201,250 for its services in the Private Placement and was also issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock of SG Building, which represents the right to purchase an aggregate of 1,044,584 shares of Company common stock. SG Building also agreed that if Ladenburg introduced it to an existing publicly traded company with which to consummate a merger, it would cause Ladenburg to be issued shares of common stock of the combined merger entity equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of such entity on a fully diluted basis.  Ladenburg introduced the Company to SG Building and accordingly, was issued an aggregate of 408,750 shares of Company common stock (representing 1% of the Company’s stock on a fully diluted basis) upon consummation of the Merger. Vector invested $500,000 in SG Building as part of the Private Placement.  Richard J. Lampen, a member of our Board of Directors, is the president and chief executive officer of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc., the parent company and sole owner of Ladenburg.  Vector, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns approximately 8% of the outstanding common stock of Ladenburg. J. Bryant Kirkland III, a member of our Board of Directors, is Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Vector.
 
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB. The actual offering price of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions negotiated by the selling stockholders. The offering price will thus be determined by prevailing market prices, at privately negotiated prices, or as otherwise described in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
 
 
We are registering the shares offered by this prospectus on behalf of the selling stockholders.  The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
 
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
 
  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
  
short sales;
 
 
 
44

 
 
  
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
  
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
  
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.  The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any.  Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants if they are exercised by the selling stockholder.
 
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of securities might be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the securities sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
 
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

Penny Stock Regulations
 
Our common stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the value of the primary residence) or annual income of $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse (in each of the two most recent years exceeding). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
 
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
 
If a selling stockholder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this prospectus in the United States, the selling stockholders will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales.  All states offer a variety of exemption from registration for secondary sales.  Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor’s.  The broker for a selling stockholder will be able to advise a selling stockholder which states our common stock is exempt from registration with that state for secondary sales.
 
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling stockholder offered this prospectus who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.

When the registration statement that includes this prospectus becomes effective, and a selling stockholder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether it will need to register or will rely on an exemption there from.
 
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates.  In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.  We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective until the earlier of (1) the date by which all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any volume restriction and (2) such time as all shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are sold.
 
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. Otherwise, all discounts, commissions or fees incurred in connection with the sale of common stock offered hereby will be paid by the Selling Stockholders.
 
 
As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.  In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
 
As of December 1, 2011, there were:
 
  
39,779,506 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which includes the shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus; and
 
  
no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
 
  
upon consummation of the Merger, warrants issued by SG Building were automatically converted into warrants of the Company to purchase 1,044,584 shares of common stock having terms and conditions substantially identical in all material respects to the terms and conditions pertaining to the Warrants issued by SG Building.
 
The following is a summary of some of the terms of our capital stock.  Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our By-Laws.

Common Stock
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than one half of the outstanding shares of common stock, subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, if any, can elect all of our directors, if they choose to do so. In this event, the holders of the remaining shares of common stock would not be able to elect any directors.
 
Subject to the prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably, dividends when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose and, upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on the preferred stock, if any.
 
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights pertaining to the common stock and have no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities.  The absence of preemptive rights could result in a dilution of the interest of the existing stockholders should additional shares of common stock be issued. In addition, the rights of holders of our common stock may become subject in the future to prior and superior rights and preferences in the event the Board establishes one or more additional classes of common stock or one or more series of Preferred Stock. The Board has no present plan to establish any such additional class or series. See section entitled “Risk Factors - The issuance of additional securities by the Board will dilute the ownership interests of our current stockholders and could discourage the acquisition of the Company.” for a further description of risks related to the common stock.
 
Preferred Stock
 
We are authorized (without any further action by the stockholders) to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rates, conversion rights, redemption rights and terms, including sinking fund provisions, and certain other rights and preferences. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends, if any, on the common stock. Also holders of the preferred stock would normally be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company before any payment is made to the holders of common stock. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company’s securities, or the removal of incumbent management. The Board of Directors of the Company, without stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights, which could adversely affect the holders of common stock.
 
Warrants
 
We currently have 1,044,584 warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 1,044,584 shares of Company common stock for $0.2477 per share (the “Warrants”).  The Warrants, which are held by Ladenburg, have registration rights and expire on October 28, 2015 and contain redemption provisions that make them redeemable for cash by the holder of the warrant under certain circumstances that are not within the control of the Company.   The Warrants are governed by the terms of the Warrant Agreements between the Company the Ladenburg.  The warrants are exercisable, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to their expiration.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
 
Certain provisions of Delaware law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated By-Laws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us.  These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.  These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors.  We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals, including proposals that are priced above the then-current market value of our common stock, because, among other reasons, the negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
 
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
 
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated By-Laws include provisions that authorize our Board of Directors, without any action by our stockholders, to designate and issue shares in such classes or series (including classes or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. Our amended restated certificate of incorporation provides that our authorized capital consists of 105,000,000 shares of capital stock of which 100,000,000 shares are designated as common stock and 5,000,000 shares are designated as Preferred stock.
 
The rights of holders of Preferred Stock and other classes of common stock that may be issued may be superior to the rights granted to the holders of the existing classes of common stock.  Further, the ability of the Board of Directors to designate and issue such undesignated shares could impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal regarding the Company and the issuance of additional shares having preferential rights could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of common stock.  Issuance of preferred stock, which may be accomplished though a public offering or a private placement, may dilute the voting power of holders of common stock (such as by issuing preferred stock with super voting rights) and may render more difficult the removal of current management, even if such removal may be in the stockholders’ best interests.  Any such issuance of preferred stock could prevent the holders of common stock from realizing a premium on their shares. See section entitled “Description of Capital Stock”.
 
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 203”) regulating corporate takeovers.  In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:
 
  
prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
  
upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
 
 
 
49

 
 
  
at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
 
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.  An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock.  We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our Board of Directors does not approve in advance.  We also anticipate that Section 203 may discourage business combinations or other attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC.  The transfer agent’s address is 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, and its telephone number is (718) 921-8200.
 
 
The validity of the issuance of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP of New York, New York (“Olshan”).
 
 
The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules of SG Building as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement that includes this prospectus have been audited by Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accountants, and is included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said reports.
 
 
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, two members of Olshan are stockholders of the Company, but none of the common stock held by such stockholders is being registered in the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
SG Building Blocks, Inc. (fka SG Blocks, Inc.) financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Stockholders of
SG Blocks, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SG Blocks, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SG Blocks, Inc., as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Description of Business

SG Blocks, LLC (a Missouri Limited Liability Company formed on January 23, 2007) began operations in 2007.  On October 25, 2010, SG Blocks, LLC completed a common control merger with SG Blocks, Inc. (a Delaware corporation incorporated on August 16, 2010), with SG Blocks, Inc. being the surviving Corporation (the “Company”).  In connection with the merger, all of the outstanding membership units were retroactively restated to shares of common stock.  The Company is a provider of code engineered cargo shipping containers modified for use in “green” construction.  The Company also provides engineering and project management services related to the use of modified containers in construction.

2.
Liquidity and Financial Condition

Since inception, the Company has generated losses from operations and the Company anticipates it will continue to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s stockholders’ equity (deficit) was approximately $440,200 and ($1,191,200), respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $646,267 and $804,405 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operations since inception have been funded with the proceeds from equity and debt financings and sales activity. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,038,661. It is anticipated that existing capital resources will enable the Company to continue operations through at least October 1, 2012.

3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant areas which require the Company to make estimates include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, derivatives and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Operating cycle – The length of the Company’s contracts varies, but is typically between one to two years. Assets and liabilities relating to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, which at times could exceed one year.

Revenue recognition – The Company accounts for its long-term contracts associated with the design, engineering, manufacture and project management of building projects and related services, using the percentage-of-completion accounting method. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the long-term contract.

3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs, marketing and business development expenses and pre-project expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billing on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billing in excess of revenue recognized.

The Company offers a one-year warranty on completed contracts.  The Company has not incurred any losses to date and nor does it anticipate incurring any losses for warranties that are currently outstanding.  Accordingly no warranty reserve is considered necessary for any of the periods presented.

The Company also supplies repurposed containers to its customers. In these cases, the Company serves as a supplier to its customers for standard and made to order products that it sells at fixed prices.  Revenue from these contracts is generally recognized when the products have been delivered to the customer, accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured.  Revenue is recognized upon completion of the following: an order for product is received from a customer; written approval for the payment schedule is received from the customer and the corresponding required deposit or payments are received; a common carrier signs documentation accepting responsibility for the unit as agent for the customer; and the unit is delivered to the customer’s shipping point.

Amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction for shipping and handling are classified as revenue.  Products sold are generally paid for based on schedules provided for in each individual customer contract including upfront deposits and progress payments as products are being manufactured.

Funds received in advance of meeting the criteria for revenue recognition are deferred and are recorded as revenue when they are earned.

Marketing expenses - Marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable are receivables generated from sales to customers and progress billings on performance type contracts.  Amounts included in accounts receivable are deemed to be collectible within the Company’s operating cycle.  Management provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions.  Periodically, management reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have been exhausted and the prospects for recovery are remote.

The Company has a factoring agreement in place as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and September 30, 2011. The agreement provides for the Company to receive an advance of 75% of any accounts receivable of which it factors. The factoring agreement also provides for discount fees ranging from 2.5% to 7.5% of the face value of any accounts receivable factored. The factoring agreement is with recourse except in an instance where the customer is insolvent. For years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there has been no activity with regard to this agreement.

Inventory - Raw construction materials (primarily shipping containers) are valued at the lower of costs (first-in, first-out method) or market.  Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are valued at the lower of costs or market, using the specific identification method.

Equipment - Equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of each asset.  Estimated useful lives for significant classes of assets are as follows: computer and software 3 to 5 years and equipment 5 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.

Convertible instruments - The Company accounts for hybrid contracts such as convertible notes that feature conversion options in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” (“ASC 815”) requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments, when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC 470-20”). Under ASC 470-20 the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 815.  Under ASC 815, a portion of the proceeds received upon the issuance of the hybrid contract are allocated to the fair value of the derivative. The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reporting in results of operations.

Common stock purchase warrants and other derivative financial instruments – The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provides a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company's own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 "Contracts in Entity's Own Equity". The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).  The Company assesses classification of common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities or equity is required.

The Company’s free standing derivatives consist of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued to a placement agent involved with the private offering memorandum as described in Note 14.  The Company reevaluated the common stock purchase warrants to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and determined that the common stock purchase warrants feature a characteristic permitting cash settlement at the option of the holder. Accordingly, these instruments have been classified as derivative liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair value measurements – Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximized the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2
Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets
or inputs that are observable.
Level 3
Inputs that are observable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are discussed in Note 8 and 14 (disclosure of convertible promissory notes and warrants).

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, the Company presented the conversion option liability and warrant liabilities at fair value on its balance sheet, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s statement of operations for the applicable reporting periods. As disclosed in Note 8 and Note 14, the Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the date of issuance and the reporting dates of December 31, 2009 and 2010 using both the Black-Scholes option pricing and lattice pricing methods. The value calculated using the lattice pricing method is within 1% of the value determined under the Black-Scholes method.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company developed the assumptions that were used as follows: The fair value of the Company’s common stock was obtained from valuation models developed by the Company. The results of the valuation were accessed for reasonableness by comparing such amount to sales of other equity and equity linked securities to unrelated parties for cash and intervening events affected in the price of the Company’s stock. The term represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative; the volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the Company’s historical stock price volatility and the historical volatility rates of several other similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue); the risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available US Treasury yield curve rates; the dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Share-based payments – The Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” which results in the recognition of expense under applicable GAAP and requires measurement of compensation cost for all share based payment awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the fair value of our common stock on date of grant. The recognized expense is net of expected forfeitures.

Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, and provides for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach.  Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid.  The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year.  Deferred taxes result from the differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations.  The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due.  If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined to be necessary.  If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

As a result of the merger, described in Note 1, beginning on October 25, 2010, the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C Corporation. Prior to the merger, the Company’s operations were organized as a limited liability company, whereby the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership and the income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying financial statements for periods prior to October 25, 2010.

This change in tax status to a taxable entity resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2010.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods.  If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.

Concentrations of credit risk - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the account.

With respect to receivables, concentrations of credit risk are limited to a few customers in the construction industry.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers other than normal lien rights.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, 54% and 67%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer. That customer’s balance has subsequently been received in full. At September 30, 2011, 60% of the Company’s accounts receivables were due from one customer.

8.
Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

(A)         On November 25, 2009, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Plaza Construction Corporation (“Plaza”) in exchange for $500,000.  The note and all accrued and unpaid interest was due on November 25, 2010, bore interest at an annual rate of 5% per annum, compounded monthly and was guaranteed by a stockholder of the Company. Plaza had the right to convert any unpaid principal and interest on this note, at any time, into a fixed percentage of the then outstanding shares of common stock. The conversion price was subject to an adjustment in the event that the Company subsequently issues equity securities or equity linked securities at a price more favorable than the exercise price of the conversion option embedded in the note.  The Company bifurcated the derivative from its debt host in accordance with ASC 815. The issuance date fair value of the derivative amounted to $99,261. Consequently, the Company recorded a discount of $99,261 on the note, which was amortized over the term of the note, using the effective interest method.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, $90,989 and $8,272, respectively, of the discount has been charged to interest expense. Amortization of the discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $74,446.

The significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value at November 29, 2009 (issuance date) and December 31, 2009 of conversion option liability was as follows:

Stock price
  $ 4.73  
Term
 
1 year
 
Volatility
    50 %
Risk-free interest rate
    2.01 %
Current equity value
  $ 4,000,000  
Dividend yield
    0.00  
Return
    0.47 %
Up Ratio
    1.144  
Down Ratio
    0.857  
Up Transition Probability
    0.5001  
 
The difference in fair value at the issuance date of November 25, 2009 and December 31, 2009 was insignificant. The Company estimated the fair value of this derivative using the lattice valuation model.  The fair value of this conversion liability at the settlement date (October 29, 2010) was $89,986 and at December 31, 2009 was $99,261. The difference in fair value at September 30, 2010 and the settlement date was insignificant. The fair value of this conversion liability at the settlement date was calculated based on the potential converted value over principal and interest that Plaza received upon settlement of the note. The conversion option liability was reclassified into equity upon settlement of the convertible note.

8.
Convertible Promissory Notes (continued)

On October 29, 2010, Plaza received $523,014 for both principal and interest as part of the proceeds from the private offering. As a result of the Company retiring the note prior to maturity, Plaza also received 2% of all outstanding shares of the Company. At such time there were 966,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and therefore, Plaza received 19,320 shares of common stock with a fair value of $96,600. In addition, the Company owes Plaza a cash obligation fee of $50,000 which is included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 and consequently is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011.

(B)         As part of a maximum loan facility of $310,000, during May and June of 2009, the Company issued three convertible notes; two notes were issued to The Stahmer Family Trust (“Stahmer Trust”) in the amounts of $60,000 and $50,000, and one note was issued to William LeBahn (“LeBahn”) in the amount of $50,000.  The notes had original maturity dates ranging from May 28 to June 19, 2010, bore interest at an annual rate of 24% per annum, and were convertible into a fixed percentage of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.  The fair value of this conversion option liability was de minims.  In the event of a default, as outlined in the underlying agreements, the entire unpaid balances of the notes were convertible into common stock of the Company. The entire principal amounts outstanding on all three notes, were repaid during 2010.

As a result of settlement agreements with Stahmer Trust and LeBahn, during 2010, unpaid interest totaling $13,749 was forgiven, and is included as other income on the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Also, unpaid interest totaling $41,247 on the notes, were included into new notes payable agreements, as disclosed in Note 9.

(C)         In August 2010, the Company issued three convertible promissory notes to certain partners and associates of Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzqeig & Wolosky, LLP (“OGFRW, LLP”) in the aggregate principal amount of $65,000 and also issued one convertible promissory note to Christopher Melton in the principal amount of $30,000. The OGFRW, LLP notes had an original maturity date of February 5, 2011 and the note to Christopher Melton had an original maturity date of August 3, 2011. All of these notes bore interest at an annual rate of 1% per annum, and were convertible into a fixed percentage of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The fair value of these conversion option liabilities were determined to be $72,795 utilizing the Black-Scholes method.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, $72,795 for the amount of the discount on the notes is included as a component of interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations. In 2010 in conjunction with the private offering memorandum, these notes were converted into 33,559 shares of the Company’s common stock based upon the contractual terms of the conversion option. The conversion option liability was reclassified into equity upon settlement of the convertible notes.

Short-Term Notes Payable (continued)

(A)         During 2008, the Company received an advance totaling $75,000 from Mike Labadie (“Labadie”) and was due on demand.  The note bore interest at the rate of 15% per annum.  The note was guaranteed by a related party.  During 2010 the Company settled outstanding interest on this loan by negotiating forgiveness of $11,326 of accrued interest (See Note 17) and repaying the remaining interest and outstanding principal in full.

(B)         On March 3, 2009, the Company issued a $50,000 promissory note to Roger Hackett. The note and unpaid interest had an original maturity date of March 3, 2010, and bore interest at an annual rate of 7% per annum.  The note was repaid in 2010.

(C)         During 2010, the Company settled outstanding interest on convertible notes with Stahmer Trust in the amount of $28,425, as disclosed in Note 8, by issuing this promissory note.  This note bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The note matured and was paid on August 12, 2011.

(D)         During 2010, the Company settled outstanding interest on a convertible note with LaBahn in the amount of $12,822, as disclosed in Note 6, by issuing this promissory note.  This note bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The note matured and was paid on August 12, 2011.

(E)         On August 18, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Labadie and Martha Labadie (“Martha”), in which the Company received $150,000 for the purpose of constructing a 1,600 square foot shipping container home (“Harbinger House”) as a demonstration unit to be used for display at conventions.  Per the terms of the agreement, the Company had the option, if exercised by February 28, 2009, to repay the $150,000 of principal and 12.5% interest, or to sell the property to a third party and repay the $150,000 of principal and 30% of any net profits received from the sale.  If neither event occurred, the Company had the obligation to repay Martha $150,000 plus $25,000 to settle the note. The Company repaid the $150,000 plus $25,000 during 2010.

The Harbinger House was damaged during transport during 2008 and was written down to an impaired value of $35,000 as of December 31, 2009 and included as part of inventory.  The Harbinger House was scrapped in 2011, and therefore the book value has been written off as of December 31, 2010.

(F)         During March 2009, the Company received an advance from James Southard in the amount of $10,000. The note is non-interest bearing and is due on demand.

Interest expense for other short-term notes payable amounted to $2,340, $30,096, $2,520 and $1,971 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes
 
Prior to the merger on October 25, 2010, the Company’s results of operations were taxed as a limited liability company, whereby the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership and the income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to October 25, 2010. As a result of the Acquisition, beginning on October 25, 2010, the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C Corporation. The Company’s benefit for income taxes consists of the following for the year ended December 31, 2010:

The change in tax status to a taxable entity resulted in a net deferred tax benefit of $0 being recognized and included in the tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010 also includes a tax benefit of $0 which was determined using an effective tax rate of 0.00% for the period from October 26, 2010 (the date on which the tax status changed to a C Corporation) to December 31, 2010.

The Company establishes a valuation allowance if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred assets will be realized. The valuation allowance increased $202,400 during 2010, offsetting the increase in the deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss and reserves.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $403,000 for Federal tax purposes.  The net operating loss expires through 2030.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has no unrecognized tax positions, including interest and penalties. The tax years 2007-2010 are still open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these shares, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws.  The selling stockholder, however, will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to its sale of shares.
 
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
We are subject to the laws of Delaware on corporate matters, including its indemnification provisions.  Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides that Delaware corporations are empowered, subject to certain procedures and limitations, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding (including a derivative action) in which such person is made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employee, or agent of the company (each, an “Indemnitee”); provided that the right of an Indemnitee to receive indemnification is subject to the following limitations: (i) an Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification unless he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, and (ii) in the case of a derivative action, an Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in the event that he is judged to be liable to the company (unless and only to the extent that the court determines that the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court deems proper). The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to our provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
 
Certificate of Incorporation
 
The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director of the Company will have personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that nothing in the Certificate of Incorporation will eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  In the event the DGCL is amended so as to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors of the Company, the liability of the directors will thereupon be eliminated or limited to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended from time to time.
 
 
 
II-1

 
 
The Company will indemnify any person: (a) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe such person’s action was unlawful, or (b) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matters as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought will determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court will deem proper.
 
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in clauses (a) and (b) in the preceding paragraph, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person will be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The rights conferred on any director of the Company under the Certificate of Incorporation will inure to the benefit of any entity that is affiliated with such director and that is a stockholder of the Company.  Any indemnification under clauses (a) and (b) in the preceding paragraph (unless ordered by a court) will be made by the Company only as authorized in the specified case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in clauses (a) and (b) in the preceding paragraph. Such determination will be made (1) by the board of directors of a majority vote of the quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
 
Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it will ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in the Certificate of Incorporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.
 
 
 
II-2

 
 
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which one seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
 
The Company may purchase and maintain, insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
 
For purposes of the Certificate of Incorporation, references to “the Company” includes, in addition to the resulting Company, any constituent Company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, will stand in the same position under the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the resulting or surviving Company as he or she would have with respect to such constituent Company if its separate existence had continued.
 
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the Certificate of Incorporation will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
 
Employment Agreements
 
The SGB Employments Agreements provide that the Company will indemnify and hold Messrs. Galvin and Armstrong and Ms. Strumingher harmless from any liabilities arising out of, or related to, their employment as an employee, officer and, if applicable, director of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to the maximum extent allowable by law, provided such liabilities do not arise out of or relate to any fraudulent or criminal activity on their part.
 
Indemnification Agreements.
 
The Company has also entered into seperate indemnification agreements, each dated November 7, 2011, with Paul Galvin, Joseph Tacopina, Stevan Armstrong, J. Scott Magrane, Christopher Melton, J. Bryant Kirkland III, Richard J. Lampen, and Jennifer Strumingher, the Company’s executive officers and directors (such agreements, the “Company Indemnification Agreements”) and with Brian A. Wasserman, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (such agreement, the “Wasserman Indemnification Agreement”).
 
The Company Indemnification Agreements and the Wasserman Indemnification Agreement are substantively the same and provide that the Company will, with regard to each indemnified party thereunder (each an “SG Indeminitee”): (a) advance expenses to any SG Indeminitee, as provided in such indemnification agreements and to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (b) indemnify any SG Indeminitee against expenses, including, without limitation, amounts paid in an approved settlement, as well as any judgments, fines and penalties levied or awarded against any SG Indeminitee in connection with such proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the SG Indeminitee acted in good faith and in a manner SG Indeminitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the SG Indeminitee’s conduct was unlawful.

The Merger Agreement
 
The Merger Agreement provides that for a period of six (6) years, the Company will cause to be maintained in effect policies of director and officer insurance covering claims arising from facts and events that occurred prior to consummation of the Merger.  As representatives of the Company, the Company’s directors and officers have certain right to indemnification as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

UNDERTAKINGS
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)  
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i)  
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)  
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent 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; and
 
(2)  
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed 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)  
That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
