B-MAVEN, INC.

(a Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)

December 31, 2012


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION


B-Maven, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 24, 2011. The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to its founder at inception in exchange for organizational costs incurred upon incorporation. Following its formation, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to our founder, as consideration for the purchase of product formulas and product samples. Our founder paid approximately $2,500 for the product formulas and samples which were acquired over time. The acquisition was valued at $2,500.


The Company has generated limited revenues from its planned principal operations and is considered a development stage company as that term is defined by Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 915, Development Stage Entities.


The Company is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling of a collection of cosmetic products, a skin care line combining science with nature to form an advanced beauty treatment. The Company owns the rights to its intellectual property, E-Scentual, an anti-aging formula that is the main ingredient in the E-Scentual Skin Care Collection.


The Company on August 1, 2012 completed its offering filed on Form S-1. The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to 17 investors. The investors paid $0.01 per share for a combined investment of $25,000.


B-Maven, Inc. was formerly deemed a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12-b2 under the Exchange Act. As of the date of this report on Form 10-Q, filed February 8, 2013, we are no longer deemed a “shell company” due to the sale of our products and purchase orders for additional product.


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a. Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2012 and notes thereto contained in our 10-K Annual Report filed on September 27, 2012.


b. Basis of Accounting - The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company elected a June 30, year-end.


c. Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.


d. Stock-based Compensation -The Company follows ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.


e. Use of Estimates and Assumptions - Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260.



6




f. Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.


g. Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.


Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


No provision was made for Federal income tax.


h. Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenues in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. We recognize revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) shipment of products has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price charged is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. Our shipment terms are FOB shipping point as outlined in our sales agreements.


i. Advertising - Advertising will be expensed in the period in which it is incurred. There has been no advertising expense in the reporting period presented.


j. Intangible Assets - Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful l life. The Company monitors conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. The Company tests its intangible assets with finite lives for potential impairment whenever management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The original estimate of an asset's useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset's useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment.


For the six month period ended December 31, 2012 we recognized $625 in amortization expense. Our product formulas and samples were placed in service on July 1st, 2011. We amortize these costs over twenty four (24) months.


k. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - The Company implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.


NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had negative working capital of $65,721 and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $51,157 at December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Company generated limited revenues and had no committed sources of capital or financing.


While the Company is attempting to generate additional revenues by marketing and distributing its skin care products, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further refine its business plan and produce inventory to generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances that it will accomplish either. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations or obtain adequate financing.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.



7




NOTE 4 – SHARE CAPITAL


The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock ($0.001 par value) and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock ($0.001 par value). The Company upon formation issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to its incorporator, chief executive officer and president for organization costs/services. These services were valued at $5,000. Following its formation, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock to our incorporator, chief executive officer and president, as consideration for the purchase of product formulas and product samples. Our incorporator, chief executive officer and president paid approximately $2,500 in producing the product formulas and other product materials. Purchase price of the product formulas and samples was valued at $2,500.


The Company on August 1, 2012 completed its offering filed on Form S-1. The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to 17 investors. The investors paid $0.01 per share for a combined investment of $25,000.


At December 31, 2012, there are 10,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


NOTE 5 – LOANS - RELATED PARTY


As of December 31, 2012 the Company received $1,338 in loan proceeds from our founder in order to fund working capital expenses. This loan is unsecured and carries no interest rate or repayment terms.


NOTE 6 – LOANS - UNRELATED PARTIES


As of December 31, 2012 the Company received $17,887 in net loan proceeds from three unrelated parties who are business acquaintances of our founder in order to fund working capital expenses. These loans are unsecured and carry no interest rate or repayment terms.


NOTE 7 – DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS – ADDITIONAL PAID IN CAPITAL


Deferred offering costs consist principally of accounting, legal and other fees incurred through the close of the common stock offering (August 1, 2012) that are directly related to the offering. Deferred offering costs were offset against the net proceeds received from our common stock offering. On August 1, 2012, deferred offering costs of $60,439 were offset against additional paid in capital. On or about December 24, 2012 an adjustment was made to additional paid in capital of $14,000, reflecting the final payment to our former legal counsel and a credit received from our current legal counsel which affected deferred offering costs. Accrued expenses include deferred offering costs outstanding of $19,500 as of December 31, 2012.


NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES


As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $51,157 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2031.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance.


NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after December 31, 2012 through February 8, 2013, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company on January 29, 2013 received approval of its 15C-211 application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and received the trading symbol ‘BMAV’.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Forward looking statements: Statements about our future expectations are "forward-looking statements" and are not guarantees of future performance. When used herein, the words "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "believe," "appear," "intend," "plan," "expect," "estimate," "approximate," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors," in this Report, and are subject to change at any time. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. This Form 10-Q does not have any statutory safe harbor for this forward looking statement. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements.


Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Financial Statements”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (“GAAP”). Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis are quoted in United States dollars.


Overview - B-Maven, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 24, 2011, at which time it acquired the business plan and client/customer list from our founder, president, and chief executive officer. As of February 8, 2013, we had one employee, our founder, president, and chief executive officer, Ms. Jones. For the remainder of calendar year 2013, Ms. Jones will devote at least twenty (20) hours a week to us but may increase the number of hours as necessary.


The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to Ms. Jones at inception in exchange for organizational expenses incurred upon incorporation. Following our formation, we issued an additional 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to Ms. Jones, in exchange for a product formulas and samples.


On August 1, 2012 the Company completed its offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed on Form S-1. The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to 17 investors. The investors paid $0.01 per share for a combined investment of $25,000.


We are an early stage company and have limited financial resources. We will continue to rely upon raising capital by selling additional shares in the Company, upon which our current shareholders may be further diluted, or by issuing debt as a source of financing.  In addition to our completed offering, the Company received short-term financing from independent third parties in the form of loans to cover expenses. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report emphasizing the uncertainty of our ability to remain a going concern. We have a significant amount of work that needs to be completed and funds that need to be raised in order to compete within this marketplace. To date, we have had limited sales of our formulated products and cannot predict when our products will be sold or distributed through regular retail outlets, wholesale channels, and/or through our international distribution partner.


During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we continued in the development of our skin care products business through building product inventory and generating sales and sales leads. During December 2012 we received a firm purchase order for which we received advanced monies against the sale of the product. While this purchase order was priced at a discount to anticipated suggested retail price, we believe the turning point of sales generation and beginning product distribution with multiple parties validates our go-to-market strategy and expected initial acceptance of our products.


As of December 31, 2012, we had limited assets which consisted of cash of $3,579. In order to fund the development of our business and working capital needs for the next 12 months, we intend to secure additional funding from the sale of common stock, preferred stock, related and non-related party loans, or funding provided by strategic partners. Furthermore in order to be able to further implement our plan of operations, we anticipate the costs to develop our products on a commercial scale could very well be in excess of $100,000. We will need at least an additional $50,000 to $100,000 to purchase raw material for initial commercial production, professional labeling and packaging, and introductory marketing and advertising programs that will educate as well as connect with our targeted customers who seek all natural ingredient products in their quest to stall aging of the skin. If we are not successful in raising additional financing, we will not be able to further our business plan towards commercial production.


Business - B-Maven is in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling the E-Scentual Skin Care Collection, a skin care line combining science with nature to form what we believe to be an advanced beauty treatment using all natural ingredients. B-Maven has developed what it calls its basic “E-Scentual” product line, a proprietary anti-aging formula that will make up the main ingredient in our E-Scentual Skin Care Collection. B-Maven owns the intellectual property relating to E-Scentual, including the unique formulation of natural ingredients.

Based on the E-Scentual product formulations, B-Maven is developing a full spectrum of skin care products designed to naturally improve skin wellness and provide anti-aging properties through its E-Scentual Skin Care Collection. The E-Scentual system combines science with nature to form an advanced beauty treatment, using a variety of essential oils and other naturally produced and available ingredients. Utilizing aromatherapy and a variety of specific actives and botanically-based formulas that include our proprietary process, E-Scentual products are intended to deliver a dramatic improvement in general health, well-being and increased vitality for the user in great looking skin. The Company is constantly developing and testing its own products through the skills of its president, engaging in discussions with potential suppliers, vendors, and distributors and prospecting initial product placement at select salons and beauty care studios. We believe, and anecdotal evidence suggests that B-Maven’s products stimulates cell renewal, prevents and reduces the appearance of wrinkle and fine lines, dark circles, spider veins, rosacea, and reduced under eye puffiness. Our initial observations, based on limited product development and product testing primarily in the San Diego area, have demonstrated our products provide  these effects. However, we cannot guarantee that our products will continue to have these qualities or generate such positive results on a widespread basis or otherwise.

 

We believe that E-Scentual, our intellectual property, is a unique formula blend made of essential oils, botanicals and other natural ingredients that provide nourishment to the skin. This proprietary formula blend rapidly penetrates the skin delivering essential nutrients beneath the top layer of skin that the body uses in its natural process of collagen regeneration. Numerous anecdotal stories have described a dramatic decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after regular use of our E-Scentual formulas.


The Company’s plan is to reach the point where we begin generating sufficient revenue from our skincare products to meet our financial obligations on a timely basis. In the early stages of our operation, we will keep costs to a minimum, and gradually introduce products into the market beginning the first or second calendar quarter of 2013; however there can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving or adhering to this schedule. The cost to develop the various products on a commercial scale could very well be in excess of $100,000. We will need at least an additional $50,000 to $100,000 to purchase raw material for initial commercial production, professional labeling and packaging, and introductory marketing and advertising programs that will educate as well as connect with our targeted customers.


Our only source of capital at this time has been the proceeds of our offering and loans provided by third parties and our President and founder. We must raise additional capital in the form of equity or debt financing in order to continue our business strategy. Once we become a publicly traded company, we expect to contact private equity funds, angel investors and others known to our president and professionals with whom we may deal with in order to raise the necessary financing. The Company believes that if it can secure at least 50% or more of its current financing requirements, it will be able to move forward and complete the first phase of its business plan.


Management believes that if it is successful in securing the necessary funds, of which there can be no assurances, we may generate sufficient sales revenue within 12 months of receiving those funds. However, while we hope that we will be successful in all of these efforts, additional equity or debt financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.


Despite the aforementioned, in order to execute on our plan, we must seek additional financing and our ability to continue to execute our business plan is limited until we receive additional financing. If and when we obtain the required financing, we should be able to undertake our business plan through the following phases:


Phase 1 (3-4 months in duration; $15,000 est. costs)

·

 initial product formula program combined with local (grass roots) promotional efforts, simple but effective method of getting product out there

·

Web site offering primarily static content and brochure-ware to support advertising, promotion and marketing communications of the E-Scentual products

·

simple feedback mechanisms, typically using email or product surveys from customers who participate in sampling and tester development

·

 market prospecting and outside sales professional training


Phase 2 (3-4 months in duration; $15,000 est. costs)

·

 interactive Web applications for real-time content capture and delivery

·

leverage progressive formula development from existing and potential:

·

 sources tester and sample users

·

 manufacturing building with world class efforts and quality control

·

 clients, prospects, suppliers, partners, stakeholders

·

 a framework for collaboration and community interest in our products all natural



10




Phase 3 (3-4 months in duration; $30,000 est. costs)

·

develop transaction-based systems to enhance product sales and target marketing

·

 customer profile building, using geographic, demographic, psychographic, and transaction behavior data to pinpoint ideal consumer

·

 targeted one to one delivery with retail operations using distributors

·

 integrated information and communications environments, combining voice, image, and data to assist with product sales and target marketing

·

 simple system-to-system exchanges for routine transactions


Phase 4 (3-4 months in duration; $40,000 est. costs)

·

 real-time dynamic information exchange while building psychodynamic customer profiles and ‘world class’ product development

·

advanced system-to-system exchanges for all transactions

·

real-time performance support systems – sales, production, and marketing


Based upon our recent efforts, we have begun to generate limited revenues by selective placement and grass roots marketing efforts within the Southern California market. Continuing with these product placement and marketing efforts are conditional upon us receiving additional financing as our current financial resources are not enough to pursue on a regular ongoing basis.


Intellectual Property - We have no patents or trademarks.


Government Regulation and Industry Standards - We believe that our business is not subject to material regulation under the laws of the United States or any of the states in which we plan to sell our products. Laws and regulations often differ materially between states and within individual states such laws and regulations are subject to amendment and reinterpretation by the agencies charged with their enforcement. If we become subject to any licensing or regulatory requirements, the failure to comply with any such requirements could lead to a revocation, suspension or loss of licensing status, termination of contracts and legal and administrative enforcement actions. We cannot be sure that a review of our current and proposed operations will not result in a determination that could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, regulatory requirements are subject to change from time to time and may in the future become more restrictive, thereby making compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise affecting or restricting our ability to conduct our business as now conducted or proposed to be conducted.


Employees- As of February 8, 2013, we had one employee, our founder, president, and chief executive officer, Ms. Jones. During calendar year ended December 31, 2012, Ms. Jones devoted at least twenty (20) hours a week to us and increased that number as necessary. Ms. Jones is allowed to devote this time to our Company as she is not limited or restricted from being involved with us by her current employer. Ms. Jones is under no contractual arrangement with the Company. However, our founder, president, and chief executive officer’s current plan is to provide all administrative and planning work as well as perform the basic product formulation and product packaging on her own without any cash compensation while she seeks other sources of funding for the Company and its business plan.


There are no written employment contracts or agreements in place with our founder, president, and chief executive officer.


Property- Our office and mailing address is 3272 Reynard Way, San Diego, CA. The space is provided to us by our president and CEO at no cost. Ms. Jones incurs no incremental costs as a result of our using this space. Therefore, she does not charge us for its use. There is no written lease agreement.


Litigation - We are not party to any pending, or to our knowledge, threatened litigation of any type.


Critical Accounting Policies- The preparation of financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.


An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.


Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Note 2 to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Material Events and Uncertainties - Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable early stage companies in the cosmeceutical and skin care markets. The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of product development, marketing and distribution, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.


There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We will pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.


Seasonality-We have not noted a significant seasonal impact in our business (or businesses like ours) although having just commenced operations it is too early to tell.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements-We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future.


Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Operations - We incorporated on June 24, 2011 and acquired our product formulas and samples on June 27, 2011. All of the activity through December 31, 2012 involved business development efforts, planning, acquiring of, and developing our product formulas, establishing and adding to our E-Scentual product line, completing our registered offering, as well as establishing initial marketing relationships for our products.


We have limited cash reserves and need substantial amounts of capital to implement our planned business strategies. Given the currently unsettled state of the capital and credit markets, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the amount of capital that we need to support our working capital requirements or for further investment in current or future operations. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital at the time we require such funding, we may have to materially change our plans, delay the implementation of our business strategy or curtail or abandon our business plan. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their report for our annual report filed on Form 10-K emphasizing the uncertainty of our ability to remain a going concern.


Other - As a corporate policy, we will not incur any cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, of which there are currently none except as described in “Liquidity” below and/or elsewhere in this report. We believe the perception that many people have of a public company makes it more likely they will accept restricted securities as consideration for indebtedness than they would from a private company. We have not performed any studies on this matter. Our conclusion is based solely on our own observations. However, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in getting anyone to accept restricted securities as payment for service or indebtedness. Additionally, the issuance of restricted shares will dilute the percentage of ownership of our current stockholders.


Six month period ended December 31, 2012 compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2011:


The Company generated limited revenues for the six month period ended December 31, 2012 of $625 and none for the six month period ended December 31, 2011. Cost of goods sold for the six month period ended December 31, 2012 was $105 and none for the six month period ended December 31, 2011. Gross margin on sales of product was $520 or 83.2% for the six month period ended December 31, 2012.



12




Consulting and other expense for the six month period ended December 31, 2012 was $22,362 compared to $8,364 for the six month period ended December 31, 2011. For the six month period ended December 31, 2012, this consisted primarily of consulting expense of $9,200, audit and accounting, and other costs associated with being a publicly reporting company of $12,603, and other expense of $559, compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2011 where we incurred $7,700 in consulting expense, and other expense of $664. Samples/marketing expense for the six month period ended December 31, 2012 consisted of costs for raw material and packaging to develop product samples of $226, and marketing expense of $500 compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2011 where we incurred costs for raw material and packaging to develop sample products of $1,088. For the six months ended December 31, 2012, and for the six months ended December 31, 2011 we recognized amortization expense of $625. For the six month period ended December 31, 2012 we recorded state income tax expense of $800. We anticipate that as we continue to expand our business operations our costs will increase substantially thereby limiting our ability to secure or spend funds on product development and marketing.  


Net loss per share for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(0.00) and $(0.00), respectively.  


Three month period ended December 31, 2012 compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2011:


The Company generated limited revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 of $625 and none for the three month period ended December 31, 2011. Cost of goods sold for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 was $105 and none for the three month period ended December 31, 2011. Gross margin on sales of product was $520 or 83.2% for the three month period ended December 31, 2012.


Consulting and other expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 was $12,829 compared to $3,587 for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 For the three month period ended December 31, 2012, this consisted primarily of consulting expense of $4,600, audit and accounting, and other costs associated with being a publicly reporting company of $7,881, and other expenses of $348, compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2011 where we incurred $3,100 in consulting expenses, and other expenses of $487. Samples/marketing expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 consisted of costs for raw materials and packaging to develop sample products of $226 and marketing expense of $500 compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2012 where we incurred costs for raw materials and packing to develop sample products of $334 For the three months ended December 31, 2012, and for the three months ended December 31, 2011 we recognized amortization expense of $312.


Net loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(0.00) and $(0.00), respectively.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since acquiring the product formulations, most of our resources and work have been devoted to planning, implementing systems and controls, completing our registered offering, developing formulas and samples and continued testing of our products, as well as initiating marketing and sales relationships.


We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we financed operations to date through the proceeds of our registered offering and with loans from independent unrelated parties. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) acquisition of raw material for inventory production; (ii) expenses associated with product packaging, labeling and associated marketing, (iii) development expenses associated with an early stage business; (iv) research and development costs associated with new product offerings, and (v) management/consulting costs, as well as general and administrative expenses, including those costs of being a publicly reporting company. We intend to finance these expenses with the further issuance of debt and equity securities. Thereafter, we expect we need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in further dilution to our current stockholders. Further, such financial instruments or securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock and/or as debt in the form of loans.  



13




Raising private capital, we believe, will be sought from business associates of our founder, president, and chief executive officer, possibly from our existing shareholders, or through private investors referred to us by those same business associates or shareholders. To date, we have not received a financing commitment from any funding source and have not authorized any person or entity to seek funding on our behalf. If a market for our shares ever develops, of which there can be no assurance, we may use restricted shares of our common stock to compensate employees/consultants and independent contractors wherever possible. We cannot predict the likelihood or source of raising capital or funds that may be needed to complete the development of our business plan and its stages as outlined above.


We are a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, and incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required. We estimate that these costs will range up to $50,000 per year and may be significantly higher if our business volume and transactional activity increases but may be lower during our first year of being public because our overall business volume (and financial transactions) should be lower. These obligations will certainly reduce our ability and resources to expand our business plan and activities. We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use other noncash means of settling outstanding obligations (i.e. issuance of restricted shares of our common stock) and compensate independent consultants and contractors who provide professional services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of these efforts. We will also reduce compensation levels paid to management (if we are able to attract or retain outside personnel to perform this function) if there is insufficient cash generated from operations to satisfy these costs.


As of December 31, 2012, we owed $64,725 in connection with legal fees and other professional services related to the offering, general business expenses, and product development costs incurred. We have not entered into any formal agreements, written or oral, with any vendors or other providers for payment of services or expenses except for that disclosed above. As of December 31, 2012, we received $1,338 from our founder and $17,887 from unrelated parties in the form of loans to cover some of the costs associated with the offering, general business expenses, and our product development costs. There are no other significant liabilities recorded at December 31, 2012.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Ms. Jones, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including both Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Changes in Internal Controls


There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.


Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.


PART II: OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


No legal proceedings have been initiated by or served upon the Company during the period ending December 31, 2012.


From time to time the Company may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS


Risks Related to the Business

B-Maven has virtually no financial resources. Our independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


B-Maven is an early stage company and has virtually no financial resources. We had a cash balance of $3,579 as of December 31, 2012. We have negative working capital of $65,721 and a stockholders’ deficit of $65,096 at December 31, 2012. Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2012 that states that Company losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. We will seek additional financing beyond the amount that we received from our offering. The financing sought may be in the form of equity or debt financing from various sources not yet identified. We shall seek the necessary additional financing to further pursue our business plan. No assurances can be given that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain the necessary financing to continue as a going concern.


Our current resources and source of funds, which primarily consist of loans from our founder, president, and chief executive officer, as well as unaffiliated third parties, are sufficient to keep our business operations functioning for the next three to six months. We do not have a formal agreement with our founder, president, and chief executive officer to fund the Company’s working capital needs; however our founder, president, and chief executive officer’s current plan is to do almost of the work on her own without cash compensation while she seeks other sources of funding. The Company started production of sample inventory for its product line through Ms. Jones’s efforts, as well as through the efforts of a consulting firm working with us on an as “needed basis.” We currently spend between $3,000 and $4,000 per month in operational expenses. We have generated limited revenues from sale of our products, and our expenses will be accrued or deferred until sufficient financing is obtained or our founder, president, and chief executive officer or others who know our founder, president, and chief executive officer loans the necessary funds to pay for these expenses. No assurances can be given that we will be able to receive funds from our founder, president, and chief executive officer or others to continue our operations beyond a month-to-month basis.


B-Maven is and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our founder, president, and chief executive officer, Ms. Jones, the loss of whose services may cause our business operations to cease, and we will need to engage and retain qualified employees and consultants to further implement our strategy.


B-Maven’s operations and business strategy are completely dependent upon the knowledge and business connections of Ms. Jones our founder, president, and chief executive officer. She is under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us. If she should choose to leave us for any reason or if she becomes ill and is unable to work for an extended period of time before we have hired additional personnel, our operations will likely fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described in this report. We will fail without the services of Ms. Jones or an appropriate replacement(s).


We intend to acquire key-man life insurance on the life of Ms. Jones naming us as the beneficiary when and if we obtain the resources to do so and if she is insurable. We have not yet procured such insurance, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such insurance in the future. Accordingly, it is important that we are able to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and talented personnel and independent contractors.


Ms. Jones’ current employment does not limit or restrict her from being involved with our Company, and her employment allows her the flexibility to provide at least 20 hours per week to our Company.


Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.


We were formed in June 2011. All of our efforts to date have related to developing our business plan and beginning business activities. Through December 31, 2012, we had limited operating revenues. We face a high risk of business failure. The likelihood of the success of the Company must be considered in light of the expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of new businesses and the competitive environment in which the Company will operate. There can be no assurance that future revenues from sales of the Company’s products will occur or be significant enough or that we will be able to sell its products at a profit, if at all. Future revenues and/or profits, if any, will depend on many various factors, including, but not limited to both initial and continued market acceptance of the Company’s products and the successful implementation of its planned growth strategy.



15




We operate in a highly competitive direct response market and retail environment and face a high risk of business failure or at the very least a competitive disadvantage.


We are aware of many competitors to our skin care collection, many of which are more established and have significantly more financial resources than we do. Our success in this industry will be largely dependent on our ability to educate the consumer as to why our product will be better than our competition’s and establish the consumer’s need for our intended products. Our ability to compete effectively in this industry also depends on our ability to be competitive in pricing, servicing and performance.

We will need to engage and retain qualified employees and consultants. No assurance can be given that we will be able to attract these employees or consultants when needed.


The interruption of services of Anna C. Jones will have a material adverse effect on the Company's future operations, potential profits and development, if suitable replacements are not promptly obtained, and there can be no assurance that such key personnel would accept compensation other than cash for their services in the future. In addition, the Company's success depends, in part, upon its ability to attract and retain other talented personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain such personnel necessary for the development of the Company’s business.


Because we will be dependent on advertising and marketing firms, we will be at a competitive disadvantage to companies having greater resources to pay larger fees.


We will require aggressive efforts in placing quality advertisements for our budgeted price that will reach the expected number of consumers. We do not know if we will be able to obtain optimal advertising placement within our projected budget or will even find advertising placement.


Fluctuations in our financial results make quarterly comparisons and financial forecasting difficult.


Any revenues and operating results are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter because our industry experiences seasonal fluctuations, which reflect seasonal trends for health and beauty products.


We expect that our results will vary significantly in the future because of a number of reasons, including:


Our ability to establish acceptance and usage of our products,

Our ability to contract with competent manufactures and appropriate wholesalers and retailers,

Costs related to future growth and capital investment,

Results of strategic agreements with companies that may supply and produce our products,

Our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.


We have not started revenue producing activities so we have no direct experience with seasonality. However, we understand that other entities in our industry have experienced seasonal impacts. Many skin products sell better during the summer months because of the impact on skin from the exposure to sun and others during the winter months because of the dryness associated with winter weather.


Because of these fluctuations and uncertainties, our operating results may fail to meet the expectations of investors. If this happens, any trading price of our common stock, if and when a trading market is established for our stock, would almost certainly be materially adversely affected.

 

There is no guarantee that our products will be accepted by consumers.


We have not yet commercially released any of our proposed products on a wide scale. The market acceptance of skincare and cosmetic products varies significantly and cannot be predicted. Factors that may cause a skincare and cosmetic product to be accepted or rejected by consumers include price, quality of ingredients, effectiveness, packaging, availability, advertising, and numerous other intangible factors. Consumer demand for our proposed products also may be affected by word of mouth testimonials, fads, and general consumer trends. Since we have not consumer test marketed our products, we are not certain if any of our products will appeal to our target consumer market. While we have distributed samples of our products the targeted consumer market could be quite different from the end-users that have used our samples to date. There can be no assurance that any of our products will gain broad acceptance among consumers. Unless we can achieve a sufficient following of consumers who purchase our products, we will not operate profitably and may have to cease our operations. No assurance can be given that any of our products will achieve sufficient consumer acceptance.



16




We will be dependent on programs designed by independent advertising and marketing firms.


The Company will require aggressive efforts in placing quality advertisements that will reach our target audience of potential consumers. We do not know if we will be able to obtain optimal advertising placement given the likelihood of an extremely limited budget.


The ability to obtain prime advertising slots in various forms of media (online, print, radio, television, etc.) will be reliant upon the expertise and capabilities of the advertising and marketing firms that we may work with, as well as what the available budget is to initiate a marketing campaign.


There are no assurances that we will obtain sufficient financing or resources to enter into agreements with advertising or marketing firms.


We will face competition from companies with significantly greater resources and name recognition.


The skincare and cosmetic products business is highly competitive. We will be competing with hundreds of large and small cosmetics companies, including such companies as L’Oreal S.A., The Procter & Gamble Company, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. and numerous other multi-national manufacturers. Most of our competitors market products that are well known and trusted by the consumer marketplace. Since virtually all of our competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do, our competitors have the ability to spend more aggressively on advertising and marketing, spend more on product development and testing, and have more flexibility than we do to respond to changing business and economic conditions. Competition in the skincare business is based on pricing of products, the quality of the products, innovation, perceived value, promotional activities, advertising, new product introductions, name recognition, and other factors. It is difficult for us to predict how we will be able to effectively compete with our competitors’ actions in these areas. As a result, they may be better able to respond or adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in client requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, marketing and sales of their services than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully. In addition, the Company will be faced with numerous competitors, both strategic and financial, in attempting to obtain competitive products. Many actual and potential competitors we believe are part of much larger companies with substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively against any of its future competitors.


We will have to rely on third parties to manufacture our products who may not perform to our standards or timeline.


Our business plan assumes that we will have our products manufactured by one or more third-party manufacturing companies on a contract basis. No contractual arrangement is currently in place. We will seek to enter into agreements with third-party manufacturers to manufacture both the ingredients and the containers for our products. We will be dependent on the timeliness and effectiveness of their efforts.


Failure or lack of reliability in the manufacture of our products is likely to result in loss of business. Among other risks:

 

Our products may fail to provide the expected results,

We may experience limited availability of quality ingredients for manufacturing,

We may experience poor quality manufacturing,

Our products may have new competition from other companies attempting to duplicate our formulas, and

Our customers could experience results different from our test results.


There are also no assurances that we will obtain sufficient financing or resources to enter into agreements with manufacturers.


We have no patent protection and may not be able to protect our proprietary rights.


Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, on the quality and uniqueness of our products. Although we intend to have trademark protection for our “E-Scentual” brand, we have no product patent protection for any of our proposed products or any of the ingredients or compounds used in our products. We may claim proprietary rights in various unpatented technologies, know-how and trade secrets relating to our products and manufacturing processes, and we intend to protect our proprietary rights in our product formulas and operations through contractual obligations with consultants and vendors. However, because we do not currently have patent protection on any of our products or compounds, other companies can attempt to compete with us by imitating our products. We cannot guarantee the adequacy of the protections we intend to take to protect our proprietary rights, or that our competitors will not independently develop or produce products or processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products or processes.



17




While we will attempt to protect our proprietary information as trade secrets through agreements with each of our employees, licensing partners, consultants, agents and other organizations to which we disclose our proprietary information, we cannot give any assurance that these agreements will provide effective protection for our proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.


We may be subject to product liability claims.


The development, manufacture and sale of skincare and cosmetic products expose us to the risk of damages from product liability or other consumer claims. Although each of our proposed products will be subject to industry accepted product tests to reduce the likelihood of any successful product liability claim against us, no assurance is given that we will not be subject to product liability claims in the future. We intend to obtain and maintain product liability insurance for liabilities arising from the use of our products when they enter the marketplace assuming that we have sufficient funds therefore. Additionally, we intend to use manufacturers of our products that maintain appropriate levels of liability insurance. If we are unable to locate or engage manufacturers of our products that maintain or will agree to maintain appropriate levels of liability insurance, we may be at risk for product liability claims. A successful claim in excess of our products liability coverage, if any, could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


There are significant potential conflicts of interest.


Our key personnel are required to commit time to our affairs and, according­ly, these individual(s) (particularly our president) may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. In the course of other business activities, certain key personnel (particularly our president) may become aware of business opportu­nities which may be appropriate for presenta­tion to us, as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. As such, there may have con­flicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.


In an effort to resolve such potential conflicts of interest, we entered into a written agreement with Ms. Jones specifying that any business opportunities that she may become aware of independently or directly through her association with us (as opposed to disclosure to her of such business opportunities by management or consultants associated with other entities) would be presented by her solely to us.


We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.


Following the effective date of our Registration Statement, which went effective on June 19, 2012, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.


Following the effective date of our registration statement, which was granted on June 19, 2012, we are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major affect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from any new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.


Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:



18




·

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.


The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.


As a public company, we have to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits, quarterly reporting and internal controls. The costs of this compliance could be significant. If our revenues are insufficient, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of our shares, we may be unable to satisfy these costs through the normal course of business which would result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.


Having only one director limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures and increases the control of our founder, president, and chief executive officer.


We have only one director who also serves as our founder, president, and chief executive officer. Accordingly, we cannot establish board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues. In addition, currently a vote of board members is decided in favor of the chairman (who is our founder, president, and chief executive officer), which gives him complete control over all corporate issues.


Until we have a larger board of directors that would include some independent members, if ever, there will be limited oversight of our founder, president, and chief executive officer’s decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.


Risks Related to Our Common Stock


Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.


We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized (100,000,000) shares but unissued (90,000,000) shares. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.


The interests of shareholders may be hurt because we can issue shares of our common stock to individuals or entities that support existing management with such issuances serving to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of our company.


Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. Such issuances may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management and the interests of existing management which may not be the same as the interests of other shareholders. Our ability to issue shares without shareholder approval serves to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of our company.


Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.



19




Our Articles of Incorporation at Article XI provide for indemnification as follows: "No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer: (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any repeal or modification of an Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation of the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification."


We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.


Currently, there is no established public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any established public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading and, even if quoted, it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations.


Through to date there has been no established trading market for our common stock, and most likely in the near future no established public market will ever be created for our securities. Our application to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCBB, maintained by FINRA, has just recently been approved. We are not permitted to file an application on our own behalf. While the application was accepted, there can be no assurance as to whether –


(i)

any market for our shares will develop;

(ii)

the prices at which our common stock will trade; or

(iii)

the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.


While we are able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCBB, we will try, through a broker-dealer and clearing firm, to become eligible with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually) between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all companies on the OTCBB. While DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.


In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of the Company and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.


Because of the anticipated low price of the securities being registered, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in these securities. Purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock will be subject to the penny stock restrictions.



20




We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain whether the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors


We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding an annual non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and nonbinding stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.


In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.


Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.


The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter market which is commonly referred to as the OTCBB as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.


Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.


For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.


The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:


·

the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and

·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.


Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.


Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.



21




The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.


Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:


·

Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·

Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·

"Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons;

·

Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·

Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.


Any trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws that prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.


There is currently no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any established public market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in at least 17 states which do not offer manual exemptions (or may offer manual exemptions but may not to offer one to us if we are considered to be a shell company at the time of application) and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.


Our board of directors (consisting of one person, our founder, president, and chief executive officer) has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.


Our articles of incorporation allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval, including large blocks of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.


The ability of our founder, president, and chief executive officer to control our business may limit or eliminate minority shareholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.


Upon completion of our offering on August 1, 2012, our founder, president, and chief executive officer decreased her beneficial ownership from 100% to 75%. Because of her beneficial stock ownership, our founder, president, and chief executive officer continues to be in a position to elect our board of directors, decide all matters requiring stockholder approval and determine our policies. The interests of our founder, president, and chief executive officer may differ from the interests of other shareholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority shareholders would have no way of overriding decisions made by our founder, president, and chief executive officer. This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our shares because our founder, president, and chief executive officer may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that may result in losses, may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and/or may sell sufficient numbers of shares to significantly decrease our price per share.


The vast majority of our presently issued and outstanding common shares are restricted under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as amended. When the restriction on any or all of these shares is lifted, and the shares are sold in the open market, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected..



22




Of the 10,000,000 presently outstanding shares of common stock, 7,500,000 shares are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who is not an affiliate and has held restricted securities for a prescribed period of at least six (6) months if purchased from a reporting issuer or twelve (12) months (as is the case herein) if purchased from a non-reporting company, may, under certain conditions, sell all or any of his shares without volume limitation, in brokerage transactions. Affiliates, however, may not sell shares in excess of 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock every three months. As a result of revisions to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008, there is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for the aforementioned prescribed period of time. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.


We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.


Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.


The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.


Because none of our directors (currently one person) are independent directors, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, these directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.


We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.


You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.



23




As of the effective date of our registration statement (June 19, 2012), we became subject to certain informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as amended and we are required to file periodic reports (i.e., annual, quarterly and material events) with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may (in our sole discretion) be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 500 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8A (of which we have no current plans to file). If this occurs after the first year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted. We may still be required to deliver periodic reports to security holders, however, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Previously, a company with more than 500 shareholders of record and $10 million in assets had to register under the Exchange Act. However, the JOBS Act raises the minimum shareholder threshold from 500 to either 2,000 shareholders of record or 500 shareholders of record who are not "accredited investors" (or 2,000 shareholders of record in the case of banks and bank holding companies). The JOBS Act excludes securities received by employees pursuant to employee stock incentive plans for purposes of calculating the shareholder threshold. This means that access to information regarding our business and operations will be limited.


For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk.
