Item 1.01

Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 17, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., a Taiwan (R.O.C.) corporation (“Green Forest”), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) to purchase Da Ren International Development Inc. from its shareholders, Chang Cheng-Sung, Liao Chi-Sheng, Yu Chien-Yang and Da Chuang Business Management Consultant Co., Ltd., a Taiwan (R.O.C.) corporation, (together, the “Da Ren Sellers”) to acquire 100 percent of the outstanding share of common stock in Da Ren in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of TWD $91,996,524 (US$3,070,645) (the “Purchase Price”). Through acquiring all of the outstanding stock of Da Ren, Green Forest acquired Da Ren’s only asset, 37,273.68 square meters of land in Taichung City, Beitun District, Taiwan (R.O.C.) (the “Land”). The Land was purchased at fair market value.

 

The Purchase Price was paid through Green Forest’s issuance of a promissory note, payable to the Da Ren Sellers. Through an agreement of assignment, assumption and release (the “Assumption”), which we entered into with the Da Ren Sellers on September 17, 2013, we assumed the debt of Green Forest owed under the promissory note.

 

On September 17, 2013, we entered into a stock purchase agreement for the issuance of 30,706,452 shares of our common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $0.10 per share, to the Da Ren Sellers and their designees, including entities owned by Mr. Yu, Chen Kuan-Yu, our secretary and director, Lia Wang, Mr. Chen’s wife, and Green Forest’s chairman, Chiang Yu-Chang, pursuant to a Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 17, 2013 (the “Subscription Agreement”). The Shares were issued at the instruction of the Da Ren Sellers and in satisfaction of the debt owed to the Da Ren Sellers under the Promissory Note. Following the issuance of the Shares, we entered into an agreement with the Da Ren Sellers noting the satisfaction of the Promissory Note (the “Note Cancellation Agreement”).

 

Mr. Yu, one of the Da Ren Sellers, is our vice president and director. Mr. Yu and Chen Kuan-Yu are minority shareholders of Da Chuang.

 

A description of the specific terms and conditions of the agreements related to this transaction are set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, the Promissory Note, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, the Assumption, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3, the Note Cancellation Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4, and the Subscription Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the aforementioned acquisition is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

On September 17, 2013, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc. (“Green Forest”), our wholly-owned subsidiary of San Lotus Holding Inc. (the “Corporation”) entered into and closed on a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Chang Cheng-Sung, Liao Chi-Sheng, Yu Chien-Yang and Da Chuang Business Management Consultant Co., Ltd. (together, the “Da Ren Sellers”) for the acquisition of Da Ren International Development Inc., a Taiwan (R.O.C.) land holding company (“Da Ren”).

 

Through entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement, Green Forest acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Da Ren from the Da Ren Sellers in exchange for a promissory note of TW$91,996,524 (US$3,070,645) upon execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which has been satisfied by us through the issuance of a separate promissory note, as disclosed herein. Da Ren is a land holding company whose only asset consists of 37,273.68 square meters of land in Taichung City, Beitun District, Taiwan (R.O.C.).

 

As of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Da Ren was six percent owned by Yu Chien-Yang, our vice president and director, and 28 percent owned Da Chuang, an entity which is partially owned by Chen Kuan-Yu and Mr. Yu.

 

FORM 10 DISCLOSURES

 

As disclosed elsewhere in this report, on September 17, 2013, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc. (“Green Forest”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired Da Ren International Development Inc., a Taiwan (R.O.C.) real estate holding company (“Da Ren”), allowing us to assume 100 percent ownership of Da Ren. Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that if the registrant was a shell company, as we were immediately before the acquisition transaction disclosed under Item 2.01, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10. Accordingly, we are providing below the information that would be included in a Form 10, if we were to file a Form 10.

 

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

This document contains forward-looking statements, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those assumptions are based. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as “believes,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plan,” “may,” “will continue,” and similar expressions. Forward looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. References in this Current Report on Form 8-K to “we,” “us,” “our,” “San Lotus” and the “Company” are to San Lotus Holding Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 21, 2011 as San Lotus Holding Inc. and our fiscal year end is December 31.

 

We are working to develop, build and operate a global travel and leisure business, consisting of both travel agencies and destination travel real estate. Our vision is to consolidate travel products and services and deliver value to the world’s travel population. Our recent addition of land holdings in Taiwan (R.O.C.) has taken us out of shell status and will allow us to embark on the next stage of developing our business.

 

We estimate the development costs of our business going forward will be approximately $37,733 per month, or $452,796 for the next 12 months. These expenses will be divided into three segments: (i) the development of our Taiwan subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., a Taiwan company (“Green Forest”), (ii) the maintenance of our newly acquired land holding company, Da Ren International Development Inc. (“Da Ren”), and (iii) the general and administrative costs of San Lotus. The development of our services in Taiwan, through Green Forest, will require the commitment of approximately $42,000 over the next 12 months to implement the next stages of our business plan, with an expected monthly expenditure of approximately $3,500. At that rate of expenditure, and with $7,726 in Green Forest’s treasury, Green Forest would run out of funds in the fourth quarter of 2013. During that same time, Da Ren will only need to expend money for rental of office space at $1,833 per month, and with $14,300 in its treasury, it will be able to sustain itself for approximately seven months without injection of additional funds. At the same time, San Lotus will have administrative, legal and financial reporting costs, with an average monthly expenditure of approximately $32,400 (consisting of legal and accounting fees, condo and automobile expenses, as well as EDGAR filing fees), which will come out of our general treasury. As such, and with $82,900 in our treasury, and without additional financing, we would expect San Lotus to run out of funds in the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Currently, we have no established bank financing arrangements. Therefore, it is likely we will need to seek additional financing in the future through subsequent private offerings of our equity securities, although we have no plans at present to seek additional financing. As such, at our current rate of expenditure, we expect San Lotus to run out of funds sometime in the fourth quarter of 2013 if we do not secure additional funding.

 

  

Based upon the above, we believe that we have enough cash to support the daily operations for our subsidiary, Green Forest, for the next two months, we have enough cash to support Da Ren’s daily operations for the next seven months, and we have enough cash to support San Lotus’s operations for the next two months while we are attempting to commence operations and produce revenues. If we are unable to satisfy our cash requirements we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. We are in the process of applying to Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs for permission to inject funds into Green Forest. We expect to obtain approval by sometime in mid-October. In the event we run out of funds, any additional costs we incur will be paid for by our President Chen Li Hsing, who we will reimburse at a future date. We have no written or verbal agreements with any other officer or director at this time regarding loans to the Company. At present there have been no loans to the Company and it is unknown if the Company will require loans in the future. We have no binding obligation with Mr. Chen to fund our losses and we have issued him no guarantee that we will repay him in the future.

 

We are a development stage company that plans to market global travel products to the retiring baby boomer generation, with an initial focus on the travel needs of the Chinese population in Taiwan and Asia. Our travel services agency will be based in Taiwan, with a focus on both outbound and inbound travel services. These travel services will consist both of planning and booking travel for individuals to get them to various destinations around the globe (providing outbound travel services) and assisting individuals in planning and booking their travel itinerary upon arrival in Taiwan (providing inbound travel services).

 

On May 21, 2012, we received approval from Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (the “Ministry of Economic Affairs”) to directly invest in Taiwan through our wholly owned subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., a Taiwan corporation (“Green Forest”). This approval is the precursor to us establishing our own travel agency in Taiwan. Following our approval from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, in July of 2012, we injected $300,000 capital into Green Forest, which funds have been used to build our Taiwan travel services business. This amount included $16,700 that we repaid to Chiang Yu-Chang, one of our shareholders and the chairman of Green Forest, and Yu Chien-Yang, our vice president, both of whom together fronted these initial funds to establish Green Forest as an entity in Taiwan, something we were not allowed to participate in until we gained approval to invest in Taiwan from Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs. The injection of these funds have funded the operations of our Taiwan subsidiary during Green Forest’s first 12 months as our subsidiary. We anticipate being able to inject additional capital into Green Forest in the near future to fund its operations and development. This funding will take place as soon as we receive approval from Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs.

 

In June 2012, we purchased a condominium and three vehicles located in California for a total purchase price of $628,141. We made these purchases with the purpose of (1) having a location for our executives and employees to stay while working in marketing our Taiwan travel services to the California market; and (2) having a means to transport our clients from the airport to their various destinations when visiting the U.S. In addition, by having the condominium in California, it will be easier for us to travel to the U.S. to work with our various U.S. service providers in meeting the Company’s U.S. legal, accounting and compliance needs.

 

To further explain our purpose in advertising and investing in the U.S., we expect Taiwanese travel to the U.S. to experience a substantial uptick as Taiwan was recently admitted to the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (the “Visa Waiver Program”) (as reported at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s website www.cpb.gov).

 

Now that Taiwan has been admitted to the Visa Waiver Program, Taiwan residents traveling to the U.S. are not required to obtain visas for visits to the U.S. of 90 days or shorter. Taiwan’s Government Information Office has estimated that the U.S. will experience an approximately $1.8 billion gain from Taiwanese tourists visiting the U.S. as a result of Taiwan’s admission to the Visa Waiver Program (as reported in Taiwan Today, a publication of the Taiwan Government Information Office, www.taiwantoday.tw). We intend to take advantage of that uptick in Taiwan-U.S. travel by making sure to provide quality travel services for Taiwan’s travelers coming to the U.S.

 

We are a development stage company that has generated no revenues. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 10, 2013, we had $82,902 in our treasury.

 

  

We are focusing our efforts on meeting the travel demands of the retiring baby boomer generation, initially in Taiwan (R.O.C.) and, subsequently, in the Asia Pacific, North American and European markets.

 

We intend to develop and source trips and services that span East Asia and North America, as these areas are the destinations most travelled to within the Taiwan market. After we have established a solid range of products, we will then expand to include offerings on a global basis.

 

We plan on becoming a wholesaler as well as a retailer in most of the products and services we plan to provide. Becoming a “wholesaler as well as a retailer" means that in addition to selling directly to the end customers, in which case our Company will earn commission revenue while acting as a retailer, we also plan to distribute our offerings through other travel service providers which will allow us to earn mark-up revenue while acting as a wholesaler.

 

Products and Services Offered:

 

¨

Transportation: airlines / buses / car rentals / railways / cruises;

 

¨

Accommodation: hotels / resorts / cruises; and

 

¨

Packaged holidays / local tours.

 

Our specific services will include investigating and researching specific companies providing services and destinations that our clients are interested in, as well as suggesting alternative travel plans and destinations to our customers. We will also investigate and research countries and areas where travel or service is desired.

 

Our target market is the retiring baby boomer generation.

 

Our officers currently serve as part-time travel agents for us and this may lead to a conflict of interest and a loss of business opportunities.  Our officers’ present part-time employment with us may divert potential clients and business opportunities for the Company to their other employers, which may have an adverse consequence on our potential revenues. Our officers may be unable to spend adequate time developing the Company’s business due to their status as part-time employees with the Company. Currently our officers and directors work 15-20 hours per week for the Company.

 

Our operations to date have been devoted primarily to start-up and development activities, which include:

 

1.

formation of the Company;

2.

applying for and obtaining the required licenses and permits for our Taiwan office;

3.

development of our business plan;

4.

evaluating various travel destinations;

5.

researching marketing channels and strategies;

6.

developing our initial online website, www.sanlotusholding.com; and

7.

acquiring land for development of potential destination real estate sites.

 

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.

 

  

Under the JOBS Act, we will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of:

 

·

the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more;

 

·

the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of our initial registration statement (declared effective Nov. 5, 2012);

 

·

the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non- convertible debt; and

 

·

the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. We will qualify as a large accelerated filer as of the first day of the first fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700 million in outstanding common equity held by our non- affiliates and (ii) been public for at least 12 months. The value of our outstanding common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter.

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that we may elect to utilize the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As such, we have made the election to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Please refer to a discussion on page 9 under “Risk Factors” of the effect on our financial statements of such election.

RISK FACTORS

 

Our business is subject to many factors that could materially or adversely affect our future performance and cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements made in this document. Those risk factors are outlined below.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO DEVELOP OUR BUSINESS.

 

The development of our services will require the commitment of substantial resources of approximately $452,796 over the next 12 months to implement the next stages of our business plan. Currently, we have no established bank-financing arrangements. Therefore, it is likely we would need to seek additional financing through subsequent future private offerings of our equity securities. We have no current plans for additional financing. As of September 10, 2013, we had $82,902 cash in the bank, $7,726 cash held by our wholly-owned Taiwan (R.O.C.) subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc. and $14,300 cash in held by our wholly-owned Taiwan (R.O.C.) subsidiary Da Ren International Development Inc., for purposes of building our travel services business in Taiwan. We expect the remainder of the needed funds to come in the form of loans from our president and founder, Chen Li Hsing.

 

  

We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us or, if available, will be on terms favorable to us. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The occurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. If adequate additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our business development plans or continue our business operations. We believe the only source of funds that would be realistic at this stage of our operation is through a loan from our president and the sale of equity capital. At this time we have no guarantee or written loan agreement with our president, just a verbal agreement. Now that our stock is quoted on the OTCBB, we may have the opportunity to participate in the equity markets and raise the necessary capital through the sale of our stock. There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to raise capital through the sale of our stock.

 

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND FACE MANY OF THE RISKS AND DIFFICULTIES FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANIES.

 

We are a development stage company and, to date, our development efforts have been focused primarily on the development and marketing of our business model and website. We have a limited operating history for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. We have not yet built our customer base or our brand name and it is possible we never will. In addition, we face many of the risks and difficulties inherent in gaining market share as a new company.

 

Our operations to date have been devoted primarily to start-up and development activities, which include:

 

1. formation of the Company;

2. development of our business plan;

3. evaluating various travel destinations;

4. researching marketing channels and strategies;

5. developing our web site: www.sanlotusholding.com; and

6. acquiring land for potential destination real estate development.

 

Our future will depend on our ability to bring our service to the marketplace, which requires careful planning, without incurring unnecessary cost and expense.

 

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

 

With the addition of land and land development projects in Taiwan, we will be subject to additional governmental regulations that may limit our operations or create delays as we may be required to obtain additional permits and governmental consent to our development projects and/or land usage. Any additional requirements for permits or regulations that need to be complied with may cause us to incur additional expense.

 

WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND THE COST OF COMPLIANCE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

 

With the ownership of land, we will be subject to various environmental laws. Compliance with these laws may cause us to incur additional expense or delay in our land development projects.

 

DUE TO OUR REAL ESTATE DEVELPOPMENT PLANS, WE WILL FACE FIXED COSTS DUE TO PROPERTY TAX AND PROPERTY INSURANCE REQRUIREMENTS.

 

Our business strategy concerning our real estate development business involves high fixed costs, including property taxes and insurance costs, which we may be unable to adjust in a timely manner in response to any reduction in our revenues.

 

  

OUR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS MAY BE DELAYED OR UNSUCCESSFUL IN THE EVENT WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS.

 

The real estate development industry is capital intensive, and real estate development requires significant up-front expenditures to develop land and begin construction. Accordingly, we will require substantial expenditures to finance our land development activities. Although we believe that internally generated funds will be sufficient to fund our capital and other expenditures, the amounts available from such sources will not be adequate to meet funding requirements for our planned development and construction activities. Thus, we will likely need to seek additional capital in the form of sales of our equity securities to meet these funding needs. Our failure to obtain sufficient capital to fund our planned expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and our results of operations in future periods.

 

AVAILABILITY OF the Internet makeS it much easier for individuals to plan the details of their own trips.

 

The availability of the Internet makes it much easier for affluent individuals and others to plan the details of their own trips, thereby eliminating the fees we hope to collect. Such self-managed trips may have caused many travel agencies to go out of business in recent years and may continue to cause travel agencies to go out of business.

 

IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE TRAVELERS WILLING TO PAY FOR TRAVEL SERVICES WE MAY HAVE TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

 

The travel industry in general is ruled by those who can provide service at the lowest price. The Company aims to reach travelers who are willing and able to pay for travel design services and it may be difficult to find these travelers in numbers large enough to make our business model work well enough to attain profitability. If we are unable to locate travelers willing to pay for our travel services we may not be able to continue our business operations.

 

UNCERTAINTY AND ADVERSE CHANGES IN THE GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE WILL PARTICIPATE MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

 

Current and future conditions in the economy have an inherent degree of uncertainty. It is even more difficult to estimate growth or contraction in various parts, sectors and regions of the economy, including the markets in which we will participate. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth or contraction for the economy as a whole. Adverse changes may occur as a result of soft global economic conditions, rising oil prices, wavering consumer confidence, unemployment, declines in stock markets, contraction of credit availability, or other factors affecting economic conditions in general. These changes may negatively affect our sales and/or increase our exposure to losses. These possible changes may also affect the ability for a start-up company like us to raise sufficient capital in the U.S. equity market.

 

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS CONTROL 41.80 PERCENT OF THE COMPANY GIVING THEM SIGNIFICANT VOTING POWER AND MAY TAKE ACTIONS THAT MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.

 

Of our officers and directors, our president and chief executive officer, Mr. Chen Li-Hsing and Ms. Chen Tseng Chih-Ying (husband and wife), control approximately 2.00 percent of our current outstanding shares of voting common stock, our vice president and director, Mr. Yu Chien-Yang, controls 15.50 percent of our current outstanding shares of voting common stock, our corporate secretary, Mr. Chen Kuan-Yu, controls 24.43 percent of our current outstanding shares of voting common stock, and Ms. Lin Mu-Chen controls .03 percent of our current outstanding shares of voting common stock. Because our officers and directors together hold 41.80 percent of our common stock, they may be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. They may also be able to determine their compensation.

 

  

WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY AND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.

 

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. While we do not presently have D&O insurance for our officers and directors, we intend to acquire D&O insurance in the future. We are estimating our annual costs for being a publicly reporting company to be approximately $160,000 range for the next few years. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company, which will negatively affect our business operations.

 

THE LACK OF PUBLIC COMPANY EXPERIENCE OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

 

Our management team lacks public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as those imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our senior management has never had responsibility for managing a publicly traded company. Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Our senior management may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our company.

 

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THEIR SALARY AND PERQUISITES WHICH MAY CAUSE US TO HAVE A LACK OF FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR NET INCOME.

 

Because our officers and directors have the discretion to determine their salary and perquisites we may have no net income. If our officers determine that their salaries are at a level above our potential earnings the company may not have funds available.

 

AS A SMALLER TRAVEL COMPANY WITH REPORTING OBLIGATIONS, AND AS THE TRAEL INDUSTRY HAS LOW BARRIERS TO ENTRY, WE MAY BE AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE TO OTHER TRAVEL COMPANIES.

 

Because the travel market is competitive, is driven in part by costs and consists mostly of private companies that do not have public reporting obligations, our reporting obligations may put us at a competitive disadvantage. The travel industry has low barriers to entry. In addition, we face additional expenses that a private travel company does not have such as PCAOB auditor fees, EDGAR filing fees and legal fees related to our SEC reporting obligations. Other non-public travel companies do not incur these costs. We are at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors because of this.

 

OUR OFFICERS CURRENTLY WORK AS PART-TIME TRAVEL AGENTS WHICH MAY POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

 

Our officers currently serve as part-time travel agents and this may lead to a conflict of interest and potentially lead to a loss of business opportunities.  Our officers’ current part-time employment may divert potential clients and business opportunities for the Company to their other businesses. This may have an adverse consequence on our potential revenues. Our officers may be unable to spend adequate time developing the Company’s business because of their current part-time status with the Company. Currently they each work 15-20 hours per week for the Company.

 

 

We will need government approval to operate travel agencies in the countries where we PLAN to have operations.

 

We will need government approval to operate travel agencies in the countries where we have operations. For example, in Taiwan (Republic of China), we need to obtain the approval of the Tourism Bureau under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Accordingly, we will have to comply with the relevant laws regulating our activities. At this time, we have obtained consent from the Ministry of Commerce of Taiwan (R.O.C.) to directly invest into Taiwan through our wholly owned subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., but we have not yet received permission to operate a travel agency. There are a number of requirements we will need to meet under the laws of Taiwan in obtaining and maintaining a license to operate a travel agency. The more pertinent requirements include (1) meeting capital base requirements by type of travel agency, (2) maintenance of statutory deposit/reserve by type of travel agency and number of branches, and (3) qualification of management personnel, among others.

 

Our company has enough capital to meet the capital and statutory reserve requirements for operating a travel agency in Taiwan after taking into account the costs of our business plan and cost of operations. As an example, to be a type B travel agency in Taiwan, the minimum capital requirement is equivalent to $100,000, with a required statutory reserve of $20,000 for the main office and $5,000 per branch office. A type B travel agency is one that is permitted to carry out the following travel-related business:

 

•

to sell transportation tickets on behalf of vendors;

•

to purchase transportation tickets on behalf of customers;

•

to arrange travel, accommodation, transportation and other travel related services for customers;

•

to promote travel tours to domestic customers on behalf of other travel agencies;

•

to design domestic travel plans;

•

to provide travel related consulting services; and

•

to operate any other travel related business permitted by the regulatory body.

 

We intend to apply for and operate as a type B travel agency. We have no plans to operate as any other type of travel agency in Taiwan. These activities combined allow us to market the global travel products referred to throughout the prospectus. A summary of the legal requirements for the qualifications of management personnel are listed below. Qualified persons are those who fulfill any one of the following requirements:

 

1.

a college degree holder with a minimum of two years of experience as the principal officer of another travel agency;

2.

a college degree holder with a minimum of three years of management experience in the travel industry;

3.

a college degree holder with a minimum of four years of experience in the travel industry or a minimum of six years of experience as a tour guide; or

4.

a minimum of ten years of experience working in the travel industry.

  

Both our President and Chief Executive Officer have college degrees and extensive experience in the travel industry (five years and fifteen years in management positions, respectively), thus qualifying them for fulfilling the legal requirements in holding management positions in a travel agency in Taiwan.

 

  

Risk Related To Our Capital Stock

 

WE ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY” AND ANY DECISION ON OUR PART TO COMPLY ONLY WITH CERTAIN REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES” COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Startup Businesses Act (the “JOBS Act”), and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we have elected to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock 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.

 

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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, because we are an “emerging growth company,” we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.  

 

BECAUSE WE HAVE ELECTED TO DEFER COMPLIANCE WITH NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSURE MAY NOT BE COMPARABLE TO SIMILAR COMPANIES.

 

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. Because of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

OUR STATUS AS AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY” UNDER THE JOBS ACT OF 2012 MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO RAISE CAPITAL AS AND WHEN WE NEED IT.

 

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company,” and because of the extended transition period emerging growth companies are allowed for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it.  Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry.  If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

BECAUSE WE WERE A “SHELL COMPANY” CERTAIN INVESTORS IN OUR COMPANY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE RULE 144 TO SELL THEIR SHARES UNTIL AT LEAST ONE YEAR AFTER WE CEASE TO BE A SHELL COMPANY.

 

The Shares issued to investors in the Company cannot be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until one year after the Company ceases to be a shell company. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted securities shares for at least six months, including persons who may be deemed “affiliates” of the Company, as the term is defined under the Securities Act, would be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares or the average weekly trading volume of shares during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the Company. A person who has not been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned his or her shares for at least one year, would be entitled under Rule 144 to sell such shares without regard to any volume limitations under Rule 144.

 

  

San Lotus Holding Inc. was a shell company prior to filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and therefore its shareholders may not currently utilize Rule 144 to sell their shares. Rule 144 is not available for sales of shares of companies that are or have been “shell companies” except under certain conditions. The Company completed an acquisition and has removed its status as a shell company by filing this Form 8-K. Shareholders are able to utilize Rule 144 one year after the filing of this Form 8-K, assuming it files the documents it is required to file as a reporting company. Investors in the Company whose shares were registered in a registration statement will be able to sell their shares pursuant to said registration statement.

 

OUR STOCK HAS ONLY BEEN TRADED ON THE OVER-THE-COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD FOR A SHORT TIME, THERE HAS ONLY BEEN LIMITED TRADING ACTIVITY AND THERE IS LIMITED HISTORY WITH WHICH TO ESTIMATE FUTURE TRADING ACTIVITY IN OUR STOCK.

 

Although the Company’s Common Stock is approved for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, there has only been little trading activity in the stock. Accordingly, there is no history on which to estimate the future trading price range of the Common Stock. If the Common Stock trades below $5.00 per share, trading in the Common Stock will be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-FINRA equity security that has a market share of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock which could severely limit the market liquidity of the Common Stock and the ability of holders of the Common Stock to sell it.

 

WE MAY NEVER PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO STOCKHOLDERS.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

 

Because the Company’s headquarters are located in Taiwan, U.S. Investors may experience difficulties in attempting to affect service of process and to enforce judgments based upon U.S. federal Securities Laws against the Company and its non-U.S. Resident officerS and directorS.

 

While we are organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, some of our officers and directors are non-U.S. residents and our headquarters are located in Taiwan. Consequently, it may be difficult for investors to affect service of process on them in the U.S. and to enforce in the U.S. judgments obtained in U.S. courts against them based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S securities laws. It may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to collect a judgment against us. In addition, any judgment obtained in the U.S. against us may not be enforceable in the United States.

 

  

Because Some OF OUR officers and directors live outside of the United States, you may have no effective recourse against them for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgmentS and civil liabilities against them. Investors may not be able to receive compensation for damages to the value of their investment caused by wrongful actions by our directors and officers.

 

Some of our officers and directors live outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the U.S. any judgments obtained against those officers and directors, or obtain judgments against them outside of the U.S. that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any state thereof. Investors may not be able to receive compensation for damages to the value of their investment caused by wrongful actions by our directors and officers.

 

OUR BYLAWS PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AT OUR EXPENSE AND LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MAJOR COST TO US AND HURT THE INTERESTS OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS BECAUSE CORPORATE RESOURCES MAY BE EXPENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS.

 

Our bylaws and applicable Nevada law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities conducted on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees or agents upon such person’s written promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us which we will be unable to recoup. At this time we do not carry liability insurance for our officers and directors.

 

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

 

OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

 

We are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.

 

Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). 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 risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

 

  

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.

 

There is no established public trading market for our common stock. While our stock is listed on the OTCBB, a market for our stock has yet to develop and there can be no assurance that a regular trading market will develop or, if developed, that such a market will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investments.

 

If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete strategic acquisitions or effect combinations.

 

If we are deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), our business would be subject to applicable restrictions under that Act, which could make it impracticable for us to continue our business as contemplated.

 

We believe our company is not an investment company due to the exemption under Section 3(b)(1) of the Investment Company Act because we are primarily engaged in a non-investment company business. We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company. However, if we were to be deemed an investment company, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act, including limitations on our capital structure and our ability to transact with affiliates, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated.

OVERVIEW

 

San Lotus Holding Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 21, 2011 to market travel products and services to the growing “baby boomer” market, with an initial focus on the Asian market. San Lotus was a shell corporation until our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc. (“Green Forest”) acquired Da Ren International Development Inc., a Taiwan (R.O.C.) land holding corporation (“Da Ren”), on September 17, 2013. Da Ren’s sole asset is 32,273.68 square meters of land located in Taichung City, Beitun District, Taiwan (R.O.C.) (the “Taichung Land”). We acquired Da Ren for $3,070,645.

 

  

Since its formation on April 10, 2010, Da Ren’s sole activity has been to hold the Taichung Land. As Da Ren’s parent company, we plan to use the land in the future to enhance our travel products by either developing the land to create destination real estate or sell the Taichung Land to fund our business operations.

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based solely on the business of Da Ren International Development Inc. For further insight into the effects of our acquisition of Da Ren on our overall business, please see our unaudited pro forma financial statements attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Limited Operating History

 

Da Ren is a development stage company with a limited operating history and limited business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.

 

 

Results of Operations for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

The results of operations below represent the results of Da Ren for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Revenues. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, Da Ren had no revenue.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. Da Ren’s selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $2,227 and $2,837, as compared to expenses of $2,339 and $12,552 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Da Ren’s operating expenses consisted primarily of rent and severance payments

 

Income (loss) from operations. Loss from operations decreased approximately $610, or 21.5%, to $(2,227) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 from $(2,837) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. This is compared to a decrease in loss from operations of approximately $10,213, or 81.4%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 of $(2,339) as compared to $(12,552) for the period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease during these periods was mainly due to a reduction in expenditures such as salary costs.

 

Other Income (expenses). There was no other income during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 or 2012. However, other income increased approximately $3, or 100%, to $3 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was due interest income.

 

Income (loss) Before Provision for Income Taxes. Loss before income taxes decreased approximately $610, or 21.5%, to $(2,227) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $(2,837) for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Loss before income taxes decreased approximately $10,213 or 81.4%, to $(2,336) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $(12,552) for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in Da Ren’s expenses.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. We have not yet generated income and thus have had no income tax liabilities during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Net Income (loss). Net loss decreased approximately $610, or 21.5%, to $(2,227) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 from $(2,837) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. This is compared to a decrease in loss from operations of approximately $10,213, or 81.4%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 of $(2,339) as compared to $(12,552) for the period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease during these periods was mainly due to a decrease in Da Ren’s expenses.

 

    

Results of Operations for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

The results of operations below represent the results of Da Ren for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Revenues. For the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had no revenue.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $15,358 and $182,562, respectively. Operating expenses consisted primarily of rent, salary and severance pay, as well as some legal fees and taxes.

 

Income (loss) from operations. Loss from operations decreased approximately $167,199, or 91.59%, to $(15,358) for the period ended December 31, 2012 from $(182,557) for the period ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in Da Ren’s expenses.

 

Other Income (expenses). Other income decreased approximately $5, or 100%, to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $5 for the period ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was de minimis.

 

Income (loss) Before Provision for Income Taxes. Loss before income taxes decreased approximately $167,199, or 91.59%, to $(15,358) for the period ended December 31, 2012 from $(182,557) for the period ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to Da Ren’s reduction in expenditures such as salary.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. We have not yet generated income and thus have had no income tax liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Net Income (loss). Net loss decreased approximately $167,199, or 91.59%, to $(15,358) for the period ended December 31, 2012 from $(182,557) for the period ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in Da Ren’s expenditures.

 

  

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2012, Da Ren had $16,228 cash on hand and total assets in the amount of $2,014,166 as compared with $341 cash on hand and total assets of $2,064,668 as of December 31, 2012. We expect we will need $22,000 cash to meet the Da Ren’s general needs over the next twelve months. For 2013, we expect Da Ren’s cash expenditures to be minimal as we are not presently pursuing any development activities in regards to Da Ren and do not face any tax consequences as a result of holding the land.

 

Revenue targets

 

Da Ren does not anticipate generating any revenues during the next twelve months as it will not be selling any products and will not be disposing of any assets.

 

Core services

 

Da Ren is a land holding company and serves no other purpose aside from holding 37,273.68 square meters of land located in the Beitun District of Taichung City, Taiwan (R.O.C.). As a land holding company, Da Ren will have minimal expenses and we expect little activity in Da Ren during the next 12 months.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Da Ren has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Going Concern

 

At present, Da Ren has enough cash to pay for the its selling, general and administrative expenses for the next seven months. As such, in the event we have additional expenses, we may be reliant on obtaining additional financing, or taking out loans from our president, Chen Li-Hsing, in order to continue developing our operations as planned. Based on these assumptions, our auditor has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

  

OUTLOOK

 

We expect there to be little activity in Da Ren during the near term. We may change our development goals as concerns Da Ren as the business plans of San Lotus Holding Inc. develop going forward.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

It is our goal to clearly present our financial information in a manner that enhances the understanding of our sources of earnings and cash flows, as well as our financial condition. We do this by including the information required by the SEC, as well as providing additional information that gives further insight into our financial operations.

 

Our financial report includes a discussion of our accounting principles, as well as methods and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We believe these discussions and statements fairly represent the financial position and operating results of our company. The purpose of this portion of our discussion is to further emphasize some of the more critical areas where a significant change in facts and circumstances in our operating and financial environment could cause a change in future reported financial results.

 

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Policies

 

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada corporate law and our bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.
