Item 1. Business

 

History

 

Stark Beneficial, Inc., (the “Company” or “Stark Beneficial”), was originally incorporated on April 20, 1984 in the state of Oregon as Brandenfels Industries, Inc. for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing wooden cutting blocks, spice grinders and related products. At the time of formation the Company was authorized to issue 5,000,000 common shares, $0.001 par value. The Company increased its authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock on June 29, 1984.

 

Effective July 19, 1988, the Company changed its name to FAFC, Inc. and increased its authorized capital stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, no par value. On October 18, 1988 the Company changed its name to Weatherbilt, Inc., but on March 9, 1989 it changed it back to FAFC, Inc. The Company continued as FAFC, Inc. until August 23, 1994 when it changed its name to First August Financial Corporation. On February 20, 1996 the Company changed its name to Mortgage Bankers Service Corp, NA. On April 26, 1996 the Company changed its name to Harcourt-Symes, Ltd.

 

On June 4, 1997, Harcourt Symes, Ltd was incorporated in Nevada for the purpose of merging with Harcourt-Symes, Ltd., the Oregon Corporation so as to effect a re-domicile to Nevada. The Delaware Corporation was authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock. On June 5, 1997 both Harcourt Symes, Ltd the Oregon corporation and Harcourt Symes, Ltd the Nevada corporation signed and filed Articles of Merger with their respective states, pursuant to which the Oregon Corporation’s shareholders received one share of new (Nevada) common stock for every one share of old (Oregon) common stock they owned. All outstanding shares of the Oregon Corporation’s common stock were effectively purchased by the new Nevada Corporation, effectively merging the Oregon Corporation into the Nevada Corporation, and making the Nevada Corporation the surviving entity.

 

On or near that time the Company’s common stock began trading on the over the counter bulletin under the symbol “HSYM”. On or near January 23, 1995, the Company filed a Form 10 Registration Statement and became subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). On or near October 17, 1996 the Company de-registered its securities and ceased to be subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements. In late 1999, concurrently with the enactment of the requirement that over the counter bulletin board entities be reporting, the Company ceased being quoted on the over the counter bulletin board and began being quoted on the pinksheets.

 

On June 16, 1997, the Company changed its name to Nordic American, Inc.

 

In 2006, the state of Nevada administratively dissolved the Company for the failure to file its annual report and pay the associated franchise taxes. Other than its current business plan to merge with or acquire an operating business, as more fully described in this section under “Current Business Plan,” Stark Beneficial has not conducted any business operations since approximately February 2006.

 

Effective December 31, 2007, the Company approved and authorized a plan of quasi reorganization and restatement of accounts to eliminate the accumulated deficit and related capital accounts on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company concluded its period of reorganization after reaching a settlement agreement with all of its significant creditors. The Company, as approved by its Board of Directors, elected to state its May 31, 2008, balance sheet as a “quasi reorganization”, pursuant to ARB 43. These rules require the revaluation of all assets and liabilities to their current values through a current charge to earnings and the elimination of any deficit in retained earnings by charging paid-in capital. From June 1, 2008 forward, the Company has recorded net income (and net losses) to deficit accumulated since quasi reorganization.

 

On September 24, 2007, in its Order Appointing Century Capital Partners, LLC as Custodian of Nordic America, Inc., Pursuant to NRS 78.347 the Eighth District Court, Clark County, Nevada entered an Order granting the custodianship of the Company to Century Capital Partners, LLC. The material terms of the transaction confirmed by the Clark County Court generally authorize Century Capital Partners, LLC to appoint new officers and new members to the Company’s board of directors and to take any and all actions on behalf of the Company permitted by Nevada Statutes Section 78.347.

 

 

The actions authorized under NRS 78.347 include:

 

- To settle the affairs, collect the outstanding debts, sell and convey the property, real and personal

 

- To demand, sue for, collect, receive and take into his or their possession all the goods and chattels, rights and credits, moneys and effects, brands and tenements, books, papers, choses in action, bills, notes and property, of every description of the corporation

 

- To institute suits at law or in equity for the recovery of any estate, property, damages or demands existing in favor of the corporation

 

- To exercise the rights and authority of a Board of Directors and Officers in accordance with state law, the articles and bylaws

 

Mr. Michael Anthony is the sole member of Century Capital Partners.

 

In accordance with the Order, Mr. Anthony appointed himself as sole interim Director and President, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Anthony agreed to assist the Company in its efforts to reinstate the Company in good standing with the State of Nevada, conduct asset and liability searches, retain legal counsel and accountants and to generally assist in performing the duties and functions of the custodian. Mr. Anthony has also agreed to advise the Company as to potential business combinations. Mr. Anthony and Stark Beneficial do not have a written agreement. Under Century Capital Partner’s receivership, and using its own funds, the Company reinstated its corporate charter and paid all past due franchise taxes; paid the outstanding debt with the transfer agent; and made an analysis of the Company’s debts and potential for viability as a merger candidate.

 

In exchange for a capital investment of $2,500 by Century Capital Partners on or near October 16, 2007, Stark Beneficial issued to Century Capital Partners 2,100,000 shares of its common stock representing approximately 88% of its common stock outstanding on that date. The funds were used to pay ongoing administrative expenses, including but not limited to, outstanding transfer agent fees, state reinstatement and filing fees and all costs associated with conducting a shareholders meeting.

 

Following notice to the shareholders, the Company conducted an annual shareholder’s meeting on November 14, 2007 for the purpose of electing directors. At the meeting of shareholders Michael Anthony was elected the sole director by those shareholders that attended either in person or by proxy. Immediately following the shareholder meeting, at a meeting of the Board of Directors, Michael Anthony was appointed President, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer.

 

On November 27, 2007, the Company changed its name to Stark Beneficial, Inc. The Company’s name change is not meant to be reflective of any business plan or particular business industry but rather is thought by management to be neutral and therefore may assist in the Company’s current business plan as described herein.

 

On October 26, 2007, Stark Beneficial, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of merging with Stark Beneficial, Inc., a Nevada Corporation so as to effect a re-domicile to Delaware. The Delaware Corporation was authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock and 2,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock.

 

In December 2007, both Stark Beneficial the Nevada corporation and Stark Beneficial the Delaware corporation signed and filed Articles of Merger with their respective states, pursuant to which the Nevada Corporation’s shareholders received one share of new (Delaware) common stock for every one share of old (Nevada) common stock they owned. All outstanding shares of the Nevada Corporation’s common stock were effectively purchased by the new Delaware Corporation, effectively merging the Nevada Corporation into the Delaware Corporation, and making the Delaware Corporation the surviving entity.

 

 

On December 7, 2007, the certificate of incorporation for the Delaware Corporation was amended to increase the authorized capital stock to 310,000,000 of which 300,000,000 shares are common stock, $.001 par value and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock, $.001 par value. In addition, at the same time, the Company completed a 1:20 reverse split of its outstanding common stock.

 

On November 20, 2007, following the submittal of reports by Century Capital Partners, the Court discharged the receiver and returned the Company to the control of its Board of Directors.

 

In addition, during the period from September 25, 2007 through May 31, 2013, Century Capital Partners loaned the Company $30,941. These funds are separate from and in addition to the $2,500 capital contribution previously made by Century Capital Partners. Stark Beneficial used these funds to pay the costs and expenses necessary to revive the Company’s business and implement the Company’s business plan. Such expenses include, without limitation, fees to redomicile the Company to the state of Delaware; payment of state filing fees; transfer agent fees; calling and holding a shareholder’s meeting; accounting and legal fees; and costs associated with preparing and filing a Registration Statement, etc.

 

On May 23, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to increase the authorized preferred stock from 10,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares and to designate 5,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders; is convertible into 10 shares of common stock per one share of Series B Preferred Stock; has equal dividend rights with the common stock; and has a $1.00 per share liquidation preference. On May 23, 2012 Corporate Services International, a company owned and controlled by our CEO, paid $10,000 to Stark Beneficial in a non-cash exchange for the 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. This payment was made by an reduction of the Due to Related Party balance. Also on May 23, 2012, Century Capital Partners transferred all of it share ownership in our Company to Corporate Services International. Our sole officer and director, Michael Anthony, is the sole owner and officer and director of both Century Capital Partners and Corporate Services International.

 

The Company’s transfer agent is Clear trust, LLC.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 on June 5, 2012 which went effective on August 5, 2012 subjecting the Company to the Exchange Act reporting requirements.

 

Current Business Plan

 

Stark Beneficial is a shell company in that it has no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets. At this time, Stark Beneficial’s purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company’s virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to shareholders of the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.

 

Although there is no guarantee that a merger with a private, operating business would result in any benefit to our current or future shareholders, the Company believes there exists a potential benefit to the shareholders from the consummation of such a merger or acquisition. For example, our common stock may become more attractive to the financial community, resulting in an increased share price and/or greater liquidity. Moreover, if all of the preconditions of Rule 144 are met, including the introduction of an operating business, current restricted shareholders may be able to utilize Rule 144 for the sale of their shares. Currently, Rule 144 is not available as further described below in Risk Factors. There is no guarantee that any of these possible benefits will come to fruition.

 

 

Negotiations with any merger candidate are expected to focus on the percentage of the Company which the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon certain factors, such as the target company’s assets and liabilities, the Company’s current shareholders will most likely hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in the Company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event the Company acquires an operating business with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company’s then shareholders. Management does not expect to negotiate a cash payment in exchange for the outstanding shares held by non-affiliates.

 

Management has substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective new business opportunity. Stark Beneficial would not be obligated nor does management intend to seek pre-approval by our shareholders prior to entering into a transaction.

 

Stark Beneficial may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. Stark Beneficial may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.

 

Stark Beneficial intends to promote itself privately. The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes), for all shareholders, and other factors.

 

Stark Beneficial has, and will continue to have, little or no capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. At year end May 31, 2012 and 2013 Stark Beneficial had a cash balance of $0 and $0, respectively. Management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8K’s, 10K’s, 10Q’s and agreements and related reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “’34 Act”), specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the ’34 Act. Stark Beneficial has not conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.

 

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of our officer and director, or successor management, with such outside assistance as he or they may deem appropriate. The Company intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities, which may be brought to our attention through present associations of the Company’s officer and director. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, the Company will consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. The Company will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements are not available.

 

The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other criteria that the Company may deem relevant.

 

The Officer of Stark Beneficial has some, but not extensive experience in managing companies similar to the Company and shall mainly rely upon his own efforts, in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. The Company may from time to time utilize outside consultants or advisors to effectuate its business purposes described herein. No policies have been adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service, or regarding the total amount of fees that may be paid. However, because of the limited resources of the Company, it is likely that any such fee the Company agrees to pay would be paid in stock and not in cash.

 

 

Stark Beneficial does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until such time as the Company has successfully consummated such a merger or acquisition. Rather Stark Beneficial intends to borrow money from management related parties to finance ongoing operations.

 

Management intends to devote such time as it deems necessary to carry out the Company’s affairs. We cannot project the amount of time that our management will actually devote to our plan of operation.

 

The time and costs required to pursue new business opportunities, which includes due diligence investigations, negotiating and documenting relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws, cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty.

 

Stark Beneficial intends to conduct its activities so as to avoid being classified as an “Investment Company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

 

As a registered corporation, Stark Beneficial, Inc. will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which includes the preparation and filing of periodic, quarterly and annual reports on Forms 8K, 10Q and 10K. The Exchange Act specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the Exchange Act.

 

STARK BENEFICIAL IS A BLANK CHECK COMPANY

 

At present, Stark Beneficial is a blank check company with no revenues and has no specific business plan or purpose other than to seek new business opportunities or to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company. Stark Beneficial is a blank check company and any offerings of our securities would need to comply with Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The provisions of Rule 419 apply to every registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by a blank check company. Rule 419 requires that the blank check company filing such registration statement deposit the securities being offered and proceeds of the offering into an escrow or trust account pending the execution of an agreement for an acquisition or merger. In addition, the registrant is required to file a post effective amendment to the registration statement containing the same information as found in a Form 10 registration statement, upon the execution of an agreement for such acquisition or merger. The rule provides procedures for the release of the offering funds in conjunction with the post effective acquisition or merger. Stark Beneficial has no current plans to engage in any such offerings.

 

STARK BENEFICIAL’S COMMON STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK

 

Stark Beneficial’s common stock is a “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. 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 that 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 sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as the common stock of Stark Beneficial is subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult to sell our common stock.

 

 

ACQUISITION OF OPPORTUNITIES

 

Management owns 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing 88% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of Stark Beneficial. As a result, management will have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective new business opportunity. In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. It may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, it is probable that the present management and shareholders of the Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, the Company’s directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of the Company’s shareholders or may sell their stock in the Company. Moreover, management may sell or otherwise transfer his interest in the Company to new management who will then continue the Company business plan of seeking new business opportunities.

 

It is anticipated that any securities issued in any reorganization would be issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of its transaction, the Company may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be no assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after the Company has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition.

 

Stark Beneficial will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company’s attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies on default and will include miscellaneous other terms.

 

Stark Beneficial does not intend to provide its security holders with any complete disclosure documents or audited financial statements concerning an acquisition or merger candidate and its business prior to the consummation of any acquisition or merger transaction.

 

Stark Beneficial has not expended funds on and has no plans to expend funds or time on product research or development.

 

COMPETITION

 

Stark Beneficial will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of Stark Beneficial’s combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company’s competitors.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

Stark Beneficial currently has no employees. The business of the Company will be managed by its sole officer and director and such officers or directors which may join the Company in the future, and who may become employees of the Company. The Company does not anticipate a need to engage any full time employees at this time.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THE SERVICES OF OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR

 

Stark Beneficial is dependent upon the continued services of its sole officer and director, Michael Anthony. Mr. Anthony has served as our sole officer and director and sole funding source since 2007. If Mr. Anthony were to cease offering his services while he is the sole officer and director, it is likely that the Company would cease to maintain its filings under the Exchange Act although it would continue to be obligated to do so, and would cease to seek new business opportunities.

 

 

THE COMPANY HAS LIMITED ASSETS AND NO PRESENT SOURCE OF REVENUES. THE COMPANY IS DEPENDENT UPON THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF ITS SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR AND ENTITIES HE IS AFFILIATED WITH.

 

At present, our business activities are limited to seeking potential business opportunities. Due to our limited financial and personnel resources, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate our prospects for achieving our intended business objectives. We have only limited resources and have no operating income, revenues or cash flow from operations. Our management is providing us with funding, on an as needed basis, necessary for us to continue our corporate existence and our business objective to seek new business opportunities, as well as funding the costs, including professional accounting fees, of registering our securities under the Exchange Act and continuing to be a reporting company under the Exchange Act. We have no written agreement with our management to provide any interim financing for any period. In addition, we will not generate any revenues unless and until we enter into a new business. As of May 31, 2012 and 2013 we had cash of $0 and $0 respectively.

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

●		have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

●		comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

●		submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

●

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also 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. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” we will remain an emerging growth company from up to the last day of the fifth anniversary of your first registered sale of common equity securities, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may 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.

 

 

MANAGEMENT HAS BROAD DISCRETION OVER THE SELECTION OF OUR PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS

 

Any person who invests in our securities will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any potential new prospective business in which we may engage. As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of management in connection with the selection of a prospective business. The business decisions made by our management may not be successful.

 

SHAREHOLDERS WILL NOT RECEIVE DISCLOSURE OR INFORMATION REGARDING A PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS

 

As of the date of this annual report, we have not yet identified any prospective business or industry in which we may seek to become involved and at present we have no information concerning any prospective business. Management is not required to and will not provide shareholders with disclosure or information regarding prospective business opportunities. Moreover, a prospective business opportunity may not result in a benefit to shareholders or prove to be more favorable to shareholders than any other investment that may be made by shareholders and investors.

 

THERE IS NO ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND ACCORDINGLY OUR STOCK IS ILLIQUID AND MAY REMAIN SO

 

Stark Beneficial’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Link OTCQB. There is not currently an active trading market in the Company’s shares nor do we believe that any active trading market has existed for the last 2 years. No active trading market for our securities may develop. The lack of an active trading market makes our stock illiquid to investors.

 

WE HAVE NOT SPECIFIED AN INDUSTRY FOR NEW PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCORDINGLY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH A SPECIFIC BUSINESS CANNOT BE ASCERTAINED

 

There is no basis for shareholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of potential new business opportunities or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate. To the extent that we effect a business combination with a financially unstable entity or an entity that is in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of revenues or income, we will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of that financially unstable company. In addition, to the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high degree of risk, we will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. A high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries that experience rapid growth, including internet companies. Although management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular new prospective business or industry, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all such risks or that subsequent events may not alter the risks that we perceive at the time of the consummation of any new business opportunity.

 

OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COULD HAVE FUTURE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN DETERMINING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

 

Our management is not required to nor will he commit his full time to our affairs. As a result, pursuing new business opportunities may require a greater period of time than if he would devote his full time to our affairs. Management is not precluded from serving as an officer or director of any other entity that is engaged in business activities similar to those of Stark Beneficial.

 

 

Management is not currently an officer and director or director of any entities substantially similar to our Company. However, he could become such in the future. Accordingly, he may have a conflict of interest in the future. Such conflict results in a conflict of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. In general, officers and directors of a Delaware corporation are required to present certain business opportunities to a corporation for which they serve as an officer of director. In the event that our management has multiple business affiliations, he may have similar legal obligations to present certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In the event that a conflict of interest shall arise, management will consider factors such as reporting status, availability of audited financial statements, current capitalization and the laws of jurisdictions. In particular, management will likely present a business opportunity to an entity he controls that is current in its reporting obligations and has records sufficient to perform an audit. Moreover, management will likely present an opportunity to an entity he controls that is domiciled in Delaware or another state that management believes has well known corporate laws in the business community, prior to an entity domiciled in a less well known state. Further, management will consider the current capitalization of an entity he controls in offering a business opportunity to such entity. In particular, management will consider whether he believes that the entity would be more attractive to an operating business following a change in capitalization such as a reverse split or decrease or increase in authorized capital stock. If several business opportunities or operating entities approach management with respect to a business combination, management will consider the foregoing factors as well as the preferences of the management of the operating company. In the event that all factors appear equal, management will likely present an operating company with a choice of blank check companies and defer to such operating company’s preference.

 

Management believes that operating companies will consider such factors as outstanding shares, outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, number of shareholders, reporting history, if any, outstanding liabilities or potential liabilities, tax losses, outstanding commission comments, regulatory history, the name of an entity and the state of domicile of an entity. This list is not exclusive and the management of an operating company may have a preference for an entity for reasons that we cannot determine in advance. However, management will act in what he believes will be in the best interests of the shareholders of Stark Beneficial and other respective public companies. Stark Beneficial shall not enter into a transaction with a target business that is affiliated with management. Moreover, in the event a business opportunity is presented to another entity controlled by management, management will continue to actively seek business opportunities for Stark Beneficial.

 

In addition, conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of other non-management stockholders. A conflict of interest may arise between management’s personal pecuniary interest and its fiduciary duty to stockholders.

 

THERE ARE MANY BLANK CHECK COMPANIES FOR WHICH STARK BENEFICIAL WILL COMPETE TO ATTRACT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

 

Stark Beneficial expects to encounter intense competition from other entities seeking to pursue new business opportunities. Many of these entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying new prospective business opportunities. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than we do. Based upon our limited financial and personnel resources, we may lack the resources as compared to those of many of our potential competitors.

 

POTENTIAL RISKS OF AN ACQUISITION OR MERGER WITH A FOREIGN COMPANY

 

If we enter into a business combination, acquisition or merger with a foreign concern, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, capital investment, resource self sufficiency and balance of payments positions and in other respects.

 

 

STARK BENEFICIAL MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO MAINTAIN ITS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 

Stark Beneficial has no revenues and is dependent upon the willingness of management and management controlled entities to fund the costs associated with the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and other administrative costs associated with our corporate existence. As of May 31, 2013 and 2012 Stark Beneficial had incurred $44,956 and $33,028 for general and administrative expenses, respectively. General and administrative expenses include accounting fees, reinstatement fees, and other professional fees. In addition, as of May 31, 2013 Stark Beneficial had current liabilities of $79,679, $70,941 of which was due to related parties and as of May 31, 2012 Stark Beneficial had current liabilities of $53,973, $51,791 of which is due to related parties. We may not generate any revenues unless and until the commencement of new business operations. We believe that management will continue to provide sufficient funds to pay accounting and professional fees and other expenses to fulfill our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act until we commence business operations. Through the date of this annual report on Form 10-K management related parties have made a capital investment of $12,500 and additional loans in the amount of $30,941 for ongoing expenses. In the event that our available funds from our management and affiliates prove to be insufficient, we will be required to seek additional financing. Our failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse affect on our ability to pay the accounting and other fees in order to continue to fulfill our reporting obligations and pursue our business plan. We do not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and such financing may not be available on terms acceptable and in our best interests. We do not have any written agreement with our affiliates to provide funds for our operating expenses.

 

STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION; POTENTIAL LIMITATIONS ON RESALE OF THE SECURITIES

 

The holders of our shares of common stock and those persons, who desire to purchase our stock in any trading market that might develop, should be aware that there may be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for Stark Beneficial’s securities to be a limited one.

 

It is the present intention of Stark Beneficial’s management, after the commencement of new business operations, to seek coverage and publication of information regarding our Company in an accepted publication manual which permits a manual exemption. The manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the Company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuer’s officers and directors, (2) an issuer’s balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non-issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities.

 

Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch’s Investment Service, and Best’s Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they “recognize securities manuals” but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.

 

RULE 144 RELATED RISK

 

The SEC adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008 that apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (iii) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale.

 

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

 

●		1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding; or
●		the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

 

provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale. Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

 

Restrictions on the Reliance of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

 

Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies, like us. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in the amendments discussed above by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:

 

●		The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

●		The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

●		The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and

●

At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

As a result, it is likely that pursuant to Rule 144, stockholders who receive our restricted securities in a business combination will not be able to sell our shares without registration until one year after we have completed our initial business combination.

 

RULE 145 RELATED RISKS

 

In the business combination context, Rule 145 has imposed on affiliates of either the acquirer or the target company restrictions on public resale of securities received in a business combination, even where the securities to be issued in the business combination were registered under the Securities Act. These restrictions were designed to prevent the rapid distribution of securities into the public markets after a registered business combination by those who were in a position to influence the business combination transaction. The recent adopted amendments to Rule 145 eliminate these restrictions in most circumstances.

 

Under the new amendments, affiliates of a target company who receive registered shares in a Rule 145 business combination transaction, and who do not become affiliates of the acquirer, will be able to immediately resell the securities received by them into the public markets without registration (except for affiliates of a shell company as discussed in the following section). However, those persons who are affiliates of the acquirer, and those who become affiliates of the acquirer after the acquisition, will still be subject to the Rule 144 resale conditions generally applicable to affiliates, including the adequate current public information requirement, volume limitations, manner-of-sale requirements for equity securities, and, if applicable, a Form 144 filing.

 

Application of Rule 145 to Shell Companies

 

Public resale of securities acquired by affiliates of acquirers and target companies in business combination transactions involving shell companies will continue to be subject to restrictions imposed by Rule 145. If the business combination transaction is not registered under the Securities Act, then the affiliates must look to Rule 144 to resell their securities (with the additional Rule 144 conditions applicable to shell company securities). If the business combination transaction is registered under the Securities Act, then affiliates of the acquirer and target company may resell the securities acquired in the transaction, subject to the following conditions:

 

●		The issuer must meet all of the conditions applicable to shell companies under Rule 144;

●		After 90 days from the date of the acquisition, the affiliates may resell their securities subject to Rule 144’s volume limitations, adequate current public information requirement, and manner-of-sale requirements;

●		After six months from the date of the acquisition, selling security-holders who are not affiliates of the acquirer may resell their securities subject only to the adequate current public information requirement of Rule 144; and

●

After one year from the date of the acquisition, selling security-holders who are not affiliates or the acquirer may resell their securities without restriction.

 

 

THE COMPANY MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN TAX CONSEQUENCES IN OUR BUSINESS, WHICH MAY INCREASE OUR COST OF DOING BUSINESS.

 

We may not be able to structure our acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with us or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction. Currently, a transaction may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target entity. We cannot guarantee however that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

 

WE WILL NOT DECLARE DIVIDENDS

 

We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future because we have no revenues. The payment of dividends will be contingent upon our future revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and overall financial condition. The payment of any future dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors. It is our expectation that after the commencement of new business operations that future management will determine to retain any earnings for use in business operations and accordingly, we do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

WE MOST LIKELY WILL ISSUE ADDITIONAL SECURITIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WHICH WILL RESULT IN A DILUTION OF PRESENT SHAREHOLDER OWNERSHIP

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001. As of May 31, 2013, we have 2,379,935 shares issued and outstanding. We may be expected to issue additional shares in connection with our pursuit of new business opportunities and new business operations. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests. If we issue shares of common stock in connection with our intent to pursue new business opportunities, a change in control of our Company may be expected to occur. The issuance of additional shares of common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, in the event that an active trading market commences.

 

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER MAY ENGAGE IN A TRANSACTION TO CAUSE THE COMPANY TO REPURCHASE HIS SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

 

In order to provide control of the Company to third party, our principal stockholder may choose to cause the Company to sell Company securities to third parties, with the proceeds of such sale being utilized for the Company to repurchase shares of common stock held by such principal stockholder. As a result of such transaction, our management, principal stockholder(s) and Board of Directors may change.

 

 

WE ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH MAY LIMIT THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES

 

Our securities will be considered a “penny stock” as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, unless the price of our shares of common stock is at least $5.00. We expect that our share price will be less than $5.00. Unless our common stock is otherwise excluded from the definition of “penny stock”, the penny stock rules apply. 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 that 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 sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, it may become more difficult to sell such securities. Such requirements could limit the level of trading activity for our common stock and could make it more difficult for investors to sell our common stock.

At the time of filing of this annual report on Form 10-K, there is 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding which stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock per share. There are no other outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common or Preferred Stock.

 

It is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in a No Action Letter to OTC Compliance at the NASD, dated January 21, 2000, that Rule 144 is not available for resale transactions involving securities sold by promoters and affiliates of a blank check company, and their transferees, and anyone else who has been issued securities from a blank check company, and that securities issued by a blank check company to promoters and affiliates, and their transferees, can only be resold through registration under the Act. Promoters and affiliates of a blank check company will be considered underwriters under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. At present, the Company is a blank check company with no revenues and has no specific business plan or purpose. The Company’s business plan is to seek new business opportunities or to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company. As a result, the Company is a blank check company. Michael Anthony is a promoter as defined by the Act.

 

Effective February 15, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission codified this position in new Rule 144(i). Rule 144(i) provides that the safe harbor found in Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer that has no or nominal operations and no or nominal assets or assets consisting solely of cash or cash equivalents or any amount of assets consisting of cash or cash equivalents and nominal other assets. In accordance with Rule 144(i), Rule 144 is not available for the re-sale of our securities initially issued while we were a shell company.

 

The ability of individual shareholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state.

 

Stark Beneficial is not and is not proposing to publicly offer any securities at this time.

 

From time-to-time the Company may grant options or warrants, or promise registration rights to certain shareholders. The Company has no control over the number of shares of its common stock that its shareholders sell. The price of the Company’s stock may be adversely affected if large amounts are sold in a short period.

 

The Company’s shares most likely will be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

The SEC generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the SEC. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 not including their home, or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse), are subject to additional sales practice requirements.

 

 

For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

 

As of May 31, 2013 there were approximately 310 shareholders of record of our common stock. This number does not include an indeterminate number of shareholders whose shares are held by brokers in street name.

 

Dividends

 

The Company has not declared any dividends since inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors. There are no restrictions that currently limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock other than those generally imposed by applicable state law.

 

Equity Compensation Plans

 

We have no equity compensation plans.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

The following is a list of unregistered securities sold by the Company within the last three years including the date sold, the title of the securities, the amount sold, the identity of the person who purchased the securities, the price or other consideration paid for the securities, and the section of the Securities Act of 1933 under which the sale was exempt from registration as well as the factual basis for claiming such exemption.

 

In exchange for a capital investment of $2,500 by Century Capital Partners on or near October 16, 2007 Stark Beneficial issued to Century Capital Partners 2,100,000 shares of its common stock representing approximately 88% of its common stock outstanding on that date. The funds were used to pay ongoing administrative expenses, including but not limited to, outstanding transfer agent fees, state reinstatement and filing fees and all costs associated with conducting a shareholders meeting. On May 23, 2012, Century Capital Partners transferred the 2,100,000 shares to Corporate Services International. Both entities are solely owned and controlled by Michael Anthony, our officer and director.

 

On May 23, 2012 Corporate Services International, a company owned and controlled by our CEO, paid $10,000 to Stark Beneficial in a non-cash exchange for the 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. This payment was made by an reduction of the Due to Related Party balance.

 

The Company believes that the issuance and sale of the restricted shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act as privately negotiated, isolated, non-recurring transactions not involving any public solicitation. An appropriate restrictive legend is affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.

 

 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

None.

The Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

●		have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

●		comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

●		submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

●

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also 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. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company from up to the last day of the fifth anniversary of your first registered sale of common equity securities or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

 

Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, defines a Smaller Reporting Company as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer), or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

 

●		Had a public float of less than $75 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or
●		In the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $75 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or

●

In the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero, had annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available.

 

We qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company. Moreover, as a Smaller Reporting Company and so long as we remain a Smaller Reporting Company, we benefit from similar exemptions and exclusions as an Emerging Growth Company. In the event that we cease to be an Emerging Growth Company as a result of a lapse of the five year period, but continue to be a Smaller Reporting Company, we would continue to be subject to similar exemptions available to Emerging Growth Companies until such time as we were no longer a Smaller Reporting Company.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Effective December 31, 2007, the Company approved and authorized a plan of quasi reorganization and restatement of accounts to eliminate the accumulated deficit and related capital accounts on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company concluded its period of reorganization after reaching a settlement agreement with all of its significant creditors. The Company, as approved by its Board of Directors, elected to state its May 31, 2008, balance sheet as a “quasi reorganization”, pursuant to ARB 43. These rules require the revaluation of all assets and liabilities to their current values through a current charge to earnings and the elimination of any deficit in retained earnings by charging paid-in capital. From June 1, 2008 forward, the Company has recorded net income (and net losses) to deficit accumulated since quasi reorganization.

 

Our current activities are related to seeking new business opportunities. We will use our limited personnel and financial resources in connection with such activities. It may be expected that pursuing a new business opportunity will involve the issuance of restricted shares of common stock. At May 31, 2013, we had $0 of cash assets and $79,679 of current liabilities, $70,941 of which was due to related parties. At May 31, 2012, we had $0 of cash assets and current liabilities of $53,973; $51,791 of which is due to related parties.

 

We have had no revenues in the years ended May 31, 2013 or 2012. Our operating expenses for the year end May 31, 2013 were $44,956 and for the year end May 31, 2012 were $38,028 comprised of general and administrative expenses.

 

Management believes there exists numerous private operating businesses seeking the perceived benefits of operating as a publicly registered corporation whose common stock trades on the over the counter bulletin board or OTC Markets OTCQB. Perceived benefits may include increasing equity financing options, providing stock options or similar benefits as incentives to key employees, and achieving liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes), for all shareholders. Management further believes that certain private operating businesses prefer merging into a publicly registered company so as to eliminate the time and expense of conducting an initial public offering.

 

Although a private entity can file a Form 10 registration statement, this will not, in and of itself, entitle their securities to be quoted on any quotation medium or exchange. Consequently, management believes that the perceived benefits of a merger still outweigh the expenditure involved, including the potential expense of acquiring the publicly registered corporation itself and all legal and accounting expenses.

 

 

Owners of these private operating businesses will still incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a publicly registered corporation, including the costs of preparing Form 8K’s, 10K’s, 10Q’s and agreements and related reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 specifically requires that within four (4) days of completion of a merger or acquisition transaction with a private operating business, a Form 8-K be filed containing Form 10 information regarding the private operating company, including audited financial statements.

 

CONTINUING OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

From October 2007 through September 2012, management related parties have invested $12,500 into the Company, via a reduction of the Due to Related Party balance, in exchange for 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of series B preferred stock. In addition, management has loaned the Company $30,941 for ongoing expenses. While we are dependent upon interim funding provided by management to pay professional fees and expenses, we have no written finance agreement with management to provide any continued funding. As of May 31, 2012 the Company had current liabilities of $53,973, $51,791 of which is due to related parties and as of May 31, 2013 the Company had current liabilities of $79,679 of which $70,941 is due to related parties. In particular, management has loaned the Company $30,941 and the Company’s securities counsel, Laura Anthony, the wife of our officer and director, is owed $40,000 for legal services in connection with general corporate work, the Company’s Registration Statement and preparation and filing of this annual report. Although we believe management will continue to fund the Company on an as needed basis, we do not have a written agreement requiring such funding. In addition, future management funding, will more than likely be in the form of loans, for which the Company will be liable to pay back.

 

The principal stockholder provided, without cost to the Company, his services, valued at $1,800 per month which totaled $21,600 for each of the years 2013 and 2012. The principal stockholder also provided, without cost to the Company, office space valued at $200 per month, which totaled $2,400 for each of the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012. The total of these expenses was reflected in the statement of operations as general and administrative expenses with a corresponding contribution of paid-in capital.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the best course of action for the Company is to complete a business combination with an existing business. The Company has limited liquidity or capital resources. As of May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a cash balance of $0 and $0 respectively. In the event that the Company cannot complete a merger or acquisition and cannot obtain capital needs for ongoing expenses, including expenses related to maintaining compliance with the securities laws and filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company could be forced to cease operations.

 

Stark Beneficial currently plans to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months though it’s current cash and by borrowing from its officer and director or companies affiliated with its officer and director and believes it can satisfy its cash requirements so long as it is able to obtain financing from these affiliated entities. Stark Beneficial currently expects that money borrowed will be used during the next 12 months to satisfy the Company’s operating costs, professional fees and for general corporate purposes. The Company may explore alternative financing sources, although it currently has not done so.

 

Stark Beneficial will use its limited personnel and financial resources in connection with seeking new business opportunities, including seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating company. It may be expected that entering into a new business opportunity or business combination will involve the issuance of a substantial number of restricted shares of common stock. If such additional restricted shares of common stock are issued, the shareholders will experience a dilution in their ownership interest in the Company. If a substantial number of restricted shares are issued in connection with a business combination, a change in control may be expected to occur.

 

In connection with the plan to seek new business opportunities and/or effecting a business combination, the Company may determine to seek to raise funds from the sale of restricted stock or debt securities. The Company has no agreements to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at acceptable terms, if at all.

 

 

There are no limitations in the certificate of incorporation on the Company’s ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of capital stock to effect a business combination. The Company’s limited resources and lack of recent operating history may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. Such inability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of capital stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject the Company to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business.

 

The Company currently has no plans to conduct any research and development or to purchase or sell any significant equipment. The Company does not expect to hire any employees during the next 12 months.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of:
Stark Beneficial, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Stark Beneficial, Inc. at May 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity ( deficit ) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2013. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Stark Beneficial, Inc. at May 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company reported a net loss in 2013 of $44,956, and has a working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and deficit accumulated since quasi reorganization of $74,929, $74,929 and $183,429, respectively, at May 31, 2013, and through the date of this report has no revenues. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Effective December 31, 2007, Stark Beneficial, Inc. (the “Company” “we” “us” “our”) approved and authorized a plan of quasi reorganization and restatement of accounts to eliminate the accumulated deficit and related capital accounts on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company concluded its period of reorganization after reaching a settlement agreement with all of its significant creditors. The Company, as approved by its Board of Directors, elected to state its May 31, 2008, balance sheet as a “quasi reorganization”, pursuant to ASC 852. These rules require the revaluation of all assets and liabilities to their current values through a current charge to earnings and the elimination of any deficit in retained earnings by charging paid-in capital. From June 1, 2008 forward, the Company has recorded net income (and net losses) to deficit accumulated since quasi reorganization.

 

Our current activities are related to seeking new business opportunities. We will use our limited personnel and financial resources in connection with such activities. It may be expected that pursuing a new business opportunity will involve the issuance of restricted shares of common stock.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Significant estimates included in the accompanying financial statements include the valuation of contributed services and office space.

 

Contributed Capital

 

The Company’s majority shareholder contributes services and office space which are valued by comparison to similar part-time CEO services and office rent for comparable public companies. These contributions are recorded as compensation and rent expense and offset against additional paid in capital.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at May 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party advances, are carried at historical cost basis. At May 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Income Taxes

 

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.

 

 

Stark Beneficial, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

As of May 31, 2013, tax years 2013, 2012 and 2011 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit or any notifications from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assume that any dilutive securities outstanding are converted. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive. The Company did not have any anti-dilutive securities outstanding as of May 31, 2013 or 2012.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no new accounting pronouncements during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, that effect the financial position of the Company or the results of its’ operations. Any Accounting Standard Updates which are not effective until after May 31, 2013, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of its’ operations.

 

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. 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. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.

 

2.

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the Company had net losses of $44,956. Additionally, at May 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $74,929, an accumulated deficit since quasi reorganization of $183,429 and a stockholders’ deficit of $74,929. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

Stark Beneficial, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Stark Beneficial currently plans to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months through borrowing from its officer and director or companies affiliated with its officer and director and believes it can satisfy its cash requirements so long as it is able to obtain financing from these affiliated entities.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

3.

Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

Common Stock

 

We are currently authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. All issued shares of common stock are entitled to vote on a 1 share per 1 vote basis.

 

October 16, 2007, in exchange for approximately $2,500 of capital investments by Century Capital Partners (“CCP”) we issued 2,100,000 shares of restricted $0.001 par value common stock. Our CEO is the managing member of CCP and has sole voting and dispositive control.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On May 23, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to increase the authorized preferred stock from 10,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares and to designate 5,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders; is convertible into 10 shares of common stock; has equal dividend rights with the common stock and has a $1.00 per share liquidation preference. On May 23, 2012 CCP (a company owned and controlled by our CEO) paid $10,000 to Stark Beneficial in a non-cash exchange for the 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. This payment was made by an reduction of the Due to Related Party balance.

 

4.

Related Party Transactions

 

Due to Related Parties: Amounts due to related parties consist of corporate reinstatement expenses and obligations paid or assumed by affiliates prior to the establishment of a bank account. Such items totaled $30,941 and $21,791 at May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During 2013 and 2012, legal service fees of $10,000 for each fiscal year were billed to the company by our CEO’s spouse through Legal & Compliance, LLC. Accrued legal fees of $40,000 were unpaid at May 31, 2013.

 

Fair value of services and office space: The principal stockholder and CEO provided, without cost to the Company, his services, valued at $1,800 per month which totaled $21,600 in each fiscal 2013 and 2012. The principal stockholder also provided, without cost to the Company, office space valued at $200 per month, which totaled $2,400 in each fiscal year 2013 and 2012. The total of these expenses of $24,000 for each fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 is reflected in the statement of operations as general and administrative expenses with a corresponding contribution to additional paid-in capital. 

 

5.

Income Taxes

 

For the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 there was no provision for income taxes due to net taxable losses.

 

As of May 31, 2013, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $87,430. The carryforwards expire in years through 2033. The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The Company’s tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for Federal income tax purposes, (computed by applying the United States Federal tax rate of 34% to loss before taxes), as follows:

 

 

Stark Beneficial, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2013 and 2012

 

		Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 2013				Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 2012
Tax expense (benefit) at the statutory rate		$	(15,285	)		$	(11,230	)
State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit			(761	)			(328	)
Contributed services			7,344				7,344
Contributed office space			816				816
Change in valuation allowance			7,886				3,397
Total		$	-			$	-

 

The tax effects of the temporary differences between reportable financial statement income (loss) and taxable income (loss) are recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

The tax effect of significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at May 31, 2013 and 2012, are as follows:

 

		May 31,
			2013				2012
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforward		$	32,900			$	25,014
Total gross deferred tax assets			32,900				25,014
Less: Deferred tax asset valuation allowance			(32,900	)			(25,014	)
Total net deferred tax assets		$	-			$	-

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

Because of the historical earnings history of the Company, the net deferred tax assets for 2013 and 2012 were fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance.

 

6.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2013 there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.

 

 

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants.

 

In its two most recent fiscal years or any later interim period, the Company has had no disagreements with its independent accountants.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

It is the responsibility of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Stark Beneficial, Inc. to establish and maintain a system for internal controls over financial reporting such that Stark Beneficial, Inc. properly reports and files all matters required to be disclosed by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Michael Anthony is the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Company’s system is designed so that information is retained by the Company and relayed to counsel as and when it becomes available. As the Company is a shell company with no or nominal business operations, Mr. Anthony immediately becomes aware of matters that would require disclosure under the Exchange Act. After conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2013, he has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

 

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to that evaluation, and there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such controls requiring corrective actions.

 

Evaluation of and Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The management of the Registrant is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

	−	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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and 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.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

 

Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of May 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the requisite evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

 

Item 9B. Other Information
