Dealer Prospectus Delivery Obligation


Until _________________, 2014, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is in addition to the dealers' obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.


Prospectus Summary


This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and may not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the shares.  You are urged to read this Prospectus in its entirety, including the information under “Risk Factors“, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision.

   

In this Prospectus, ‘‘Key Link,’’ the “Company,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our,’’ refer to Key Link Assets Corp., unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise indicated, the term ‘‘fiscal year’’ refers to our fiscal year ending December 31. Unless otherwise indicated, the term ‘‘common stock’’ refers to shares of the Company’s common stock.


The Company


Key Link Assets Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 13, 2010. The Company’s principal offices are located at 216 South Jefferson, Suite LL1, Chicago, Illinois 60661. Our telephone number there is 312-397-9300, Extension 204.


The Company was organized for the purpose of developing a business to acquire a diverse portfolio of heavily discounted real estate properties consisting primarily of multi-unit residential and commercial properties initially within the Chicago metropolitan area and then possibly other selected cities with the goal of securing investments to produce stable positive cash flows. The Company issued an aggregate of 14,112,250 shares of its common stock to the founders of the Company in consideration for services provided to the Company. On October 12, 2010 the Company closed a private offering of its common stock in which it sold 590,000 shares of common stock to 35 investors for gross proceeds of $59,000. The private offering was conducted pursuant to an exemption from federal securities registration provided by Regulation D promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act.


The Company determined that its real estate business plan was unsustainable because of the absence of a sufficient number of suitable properties available for purchase at prices which would allow the business plan to succeed considering the state of the real estate market, challenges related to decreased consumer confidence and the weakened economic conditions in general. Management has now decided to pursue a business plan of acquiring small and medium-sized grocery stores in non-urban locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains. To date the Company has been involved in organizational activities and development of its business plan. As of the date of this Prospectus, it has not yet acquired any such grocery stores under its business plan, commenced operations or entered into any agreements with potential acquisition targets.


Our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 report no revenues and net losses of $6,128 and $50,053, respectively, with a net loss from inception through September 30, 2013 of $106,589. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Risk Factors


You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this Prospectus before deciding whether to invest in the Shares offered herein.  If any of these risks actually occur, our business and financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. We make various statements in this section which constitute “forward-looking” statements.


Risks Relating to Our Company and Our Industry


Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion.   


Our independent auditors have indicated, in their report on our December 31, 2012 and 2011 financial statements and in the Notes to our financial statements for September 30, 2013, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to shareholders, in the event of liquidation. The going concern consideration is based on the Company’s absence of revenues to date. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors will likely lose all of their investment in the Company.


We are an early stage company with an unproven business strategy and may never be able to implement our business plan or achieve profitability.


We are at an early stage of development of our grocery store concept. Since we have yet to acquire any grocery stores or enter into any agreement to acquire any grocery stores, we have not yet begun to operate any stores and, accordingly, have not begun to generate revenues from the operations of our stores. A commitment of substantial resources to conduct time-consuming research will be required if we are to complete the development of our grocery stores. There can be no assurance that we will be able to implement our grocery store business plan at reasonable costs or successfully operate the grocery stores. We expect it will take several years to implement our business plan, if at all.


We have incurred losses since our incorporation and may never be profitable.


Since the Company was incorporated May 13, 2010, we have had no operations except organizational and planning activities and we have incurred operating losses. As we are still in the process of refining our business plan, we expect to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future, and such losses may be significant. To become profitable, we must be successful in raising capital to continue with our start-up activities and successfully convert the plan to actual operations.  It could be years before we receive any revenues from operations, if ever. Thus, we may never be profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a long-term basis.


Because we have not yet commenced business operations, evaluating our business is difficult.  


We were incorporated on May 13, 2010, and to date have been involved primarily in organizational and planning activities. We have not earned revenues as of the date of this Prospectus and have incurred total losses of $106,589 from inception on May 13, 2010 to September 30, 2013.


Accordingly, you cannot evaluate our business or our future prospects due to our lack of operating history. To date, our business development activities have consisted solely of organizational activities and development of our business plan. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by development companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. In addition, there is no guarantee that we will commence business operations. Even if we do commence operations, at present, we do not know when in the future such operations will commence.




3




Furthermore, prior to completion of our developmental stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the implementation of our business plan, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.


The recently enacted JOBS Act will allow the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC.


The recently enacted JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies”. The Company meets the definition of an “emerging growth company” and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:


·

be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;

·

be exempt from the "say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the "say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of Chief Executive Officers;

·

be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and

·

be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report on the financial statements.


Although the Company is still evaluating the JOBS Act, it currently intends to take advantage of all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. The Company has elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers, which would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.


Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, being required to provide only two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.



4




We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.


We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. 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.


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 are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.  As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.


 We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million.


Competition in the food retail industry is intense and our business may not be able to differentiate itself from the many competitors.


The Company will face strong competition for customers from the many different types of food retailers in the market, including traditional supermarkets - both regional and national chains, as well as independent operators, supercenters, membership warehouse clubs, discount stores, convenience stores and online food retailers. The Company must be able to differentiate itself from competitors based on a number of different factors that include: price, location, quality, assortment, and in-store marketing and promotional activities. Given that the food retailing industry is characterized by small gross margins, the nature and extent of competition our Company faces may adversely affect profitability.


Businesses in the food retail industry are often subject to legal proceedings, including regulatory actions and class actions.


As an enterprise operating in the food retail industry, the Company’s business will be subject to the risk of legal proceedings by various parties, including consumers, suppliers, and governmental agencies through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. The outcome of litigation is difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs may seek recovery for large sums of money, and potential losses relating to such lawsuits may remain unknown for a significant length of time. The cost to defend litigation may be significant, and litigation may result in adverse publicity for the Company. As a result, such lawsuits may negatively affect the Company’s financial condition.






5




Weather or natural disasters may affect our stores or the supply chain, causing a disruption or delay in the supply of products or a reduction in the availability of goods.


Severe weather conditions such as drought, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes or tornadoes in areas in which the Company operates or from which the Company may obtain products, may cause physical damage to the Company’s property and disruptions in the supply, transport and delivery of products to the Company’s stores. Such natural disasters may also result in a reduction in the availability of products the Company will be able to offer for sale. In addition, adverse climate conditions and weather patterns that impact growing conditions may negatively affect food crop yield and quality, thus, adversely affecting the availability or cost of certain products within the grocery supply chain. These factors may negatively affect the Company’s business and financial condition.


We face issues of food safety, quality and health concerns.


We could be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in the safety and quality of certain food products. Adverse publicity about these types of concerns, whether valid or not, may discourage consumers from buying our products or cause production and delivery disruptions. The real or perceived sale of contaminated food products by us could result in product liability claims, a loss of consumer confidence and product recalls, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operations.


Food safety and food-borne illness concerns may have an adverse effect on our business.


Food-borne illnesses, such as E. coli, hepatitis A, trichinosis or salmonella, and other food safety issues have occurred in the past and could occur in the future. Any report or publicity linking us or one of our stores to instances of food-borne illness or other food safety issues, including food tampering or contamination, could adversely affect our reputation as well as our revenues and profits. In the future, if a customer of one of our stores becomes ill from food-borne illnesses, we may temporarily close that location or discontinue the offering of prepared foods, which would decrease our revenues. In addition, instances of food-borne illness, food-tampering or food contamination solely involving our suppliers or distributors or solely at stores of competitors could adversely affect our sales as a result of negative publicity about the foodservice industry generally. Such instances of food-borne illness, food-tampering and food contamination may not be within our control. The occurrence of food-borne illnesses or food safety issues could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, which could result in disruptions in our supply chain and/or lower margins for us.


We may not attain our target development goals, and aggressive development could cannibalize existing sales.


Our growth strategy depends in large part on our ability to increase the number of our grocery stores. The successful development of new stores will depend in large part on our ability to open new locations and to operate these stores on a profitable basis. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to acquire any grocery stores or achieve our expansion goals or that any stores will be operated profitably. In the future, other risks which could impact our ability to increase our net grocery store count include prevailing economic conditions and our ability to obtain suitable store locations, negotiate acceptable lease or purchase terms for the locations, obtain required permits and approvals in a timely manner, hire and train qualified personnel and meet construction schedules.


Expansion into target markets could also be affected by our ability to obtain financing to acquire and open new stores. If it becomes more difficult or expensive to obtain financing to develop new stores, our planned growth could slow and our future revenue and operating cash flows could be adversely impacted.


In addition, the new stores could impact the sales of our existing stores nearby, if any. There can be no assurance sales cannibalization will not occur or become more significant in the future as we increase our presence in existing markets.


Our ability to operate effectively could be impaired by the risks and costs associated with efforts to grow our business through acquisitions.


Currently, we do not own any grocery stores, and there is no guarantee that we will acquire any grocery stores. We intend to implement our business plan by acquiring grocery stores in the future.




6




Efforts to implement our business plan will include acquisitions of grocery stores. The successful integration of newly acquired locations will be dependent on our ability to identify suitable candidates for acquisition, effect acquisitions at acceptable rates of return, obtain adequate financing, and negotiate acceptable terms and conditions. Our success will also depend in large part on our ability to successfully integrate such operations and personnel in a timely and efficient manner while retaining the customer base of the acquired operations. If we cannot identify suitable acquisition candidates, successfully integrate these operations and retain the customer base, we may experience material adverse consequences to our results of operations and financial condition.  After the acquisition of grocery stores, the integration of separately managed businesses operating in different markets will involve a number of risks, including the following:


·

demands on management related to the significant increase in our size after the acquisition of operations;

·

difficulties in the assimilation of different corporate cultures and business practices, such as those involving vendor promotions, and of geographically dispersed personnel and operations;

·

difficulties in the integration of departments, information technology systems, operating methods,  technologies, books, records, and procedures, as well as in maintaining uniform standards and controls, including internal accounting controls, procedures and policies; and

·

expenses of any undisclosed liabilities, such as those involving environmental or legal matters.


Successful integration of newly acquired operations will depend on our ability to manage those operations, fully assimilate the operations into our business, realize opportunities for revenue growth presented by strengthened product offerings and expanded geographic market coverage, maintain the customer base and eliminate redundant and excess costs.  We may not realize the anticipated benefits or savings from these new operations in the time frame anticipated, if at all, or such benefits and savings may include higher costs than anticipated.


Changes in commodity and other operating costs could adversely affect our results of operations.


Any increase in certain commodity prices, such as food, supply and energy costs, could adversely affect our operating results. Because we plan to provide competitively priced food in our stores, our ability to pass along commodity price increases to our customers is limited. Significant increases in gasoline prices could also result in a decrease of customer traffic at our stores or the imposition of fuel surcharges by our distributors, each of which could adversely affect our profit margins. Our operating expenses will also include employee wages and benefits and insurance costs (including workers' compensation, general liability, property and health) which may increase over time. Any such increase could adversely affect our profit margins.


Our operations are dependent upon sufficient energy and fuel.


Our operations will be dependent upon the availability of a significant amount of energy and fuel to manufacture, store and transport products. Energy and fuel costs have experienced volatility over time. Such volatility and the impact to our operations and financial results are difficult to predict with certainty.


Our success depends substantially on the value and perception of our brands.


Once we acquire grocery stores, our success will be dependent in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance the value of our brands and our customers' connection to our brands. Brand value is based in part on consumer perceptions on a variety of subjective qualities, and even isolated business incidents can erode brand value and consumer trust, particularly if the incidents receive considerable publicity or result in litigation. For example, our brands could be damaged by claims or perceptions about the quality of our products regardless of whether such claims or perceptions are accurate. In the future, consumer demand for our products and our brand value could diminish significantly if any such incidents or other matters erode consumer confidence in us or our products, which would likely result in lower sales and, ultimately, profits.





7




Unfavorable changes in government regulation would negatively affect our operating results.


Our stores will be subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and administrative practices that affect our business. We must comply with numerous provisions regulating health and sanitation standards, food labeling, energy, equal employment opportunity, minimum wages and licensing for the sale of food, drugs and alcoholic beverages. We cannot predict either the nature of future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, or the effect either additional government regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, or disparate federal, state, local and foreign regulatory schemes would have on our future business. They could, however, require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, the recall or discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, additional record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling and/or scientific substantiation. Any or all of such requirements could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


We will face significant competition for customers and employees and competitive pressure to adapt to changes in conditions driving customer traffic. Our inability to compete effectively may affect our traffic, sales and profit margins, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


The retail grocery industry is intensely competitive with a substantial number of operators that will compete directly and indirectly with us in respect to price, service, location and food quality, and there are other well-established competitors with significant financial and other resources. There is also active competition for management personnel. Consumer tastes, nutritional and dietary trends, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing stores often affect the retail grocery business, and our competitors may react more efficiently and effectively to those conditions. If we are unable to compete effectively in the future, our traffic, sales and margins could decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.


If our anticipated advertising and marketing programs are unsuccessful in driving increased customer traffic or are ineffective in comparison to those of our competitors, our results of operations could be adversely affected.


Once we acquire stores, we intend to conduct ongoing promotion-based brand awareness advertising campaigns and customer loyalty programs. If these programs are not successful or conflict with evolving customer preferences, we may not increase or maintain our customer traffic and will incur expenses without the benefit of higher revenues. In addition, if our competitors increase their spending on marketing and advertising programs, or develop more effective campaigns, this could have a negative effect on our brand relevance, customer traffic and results of operations.


The supermarket industry is affected by consumer preferences and perceptions. Changes in these preferences and perceptions may lessen the demand for our products, which would reduce sales and harm our business.


Supermarkets are affected by changes in consumer tastes and demographic trends. For instance, if prevailing health or dietary preferences cause consumers to avoid products we will offer in favor of foods that are perceived as more healthy, our business and operating results would be harmed.


We anticipate that we will have a limited number of suppliers for our major products and rely on only a few distribution companies. If our suppliers or distributors are unable to fulfill their obligations under their contracts or we are unable to develop or maintain relationships with these or new suppliers or distributors, if needed, we could encounter supply shortages and incur higher costs.


We will probably have a limited number of suppliers for our products. In addition, we may use only a small number of distribution companies. If our suppliers or distributors are unable to fulfill their obligations under their contracts, we could encounter supply shortages and incur higher costs. In addition, if we are unable to maintain competitive purchasing terms or ensure service availability with our suppliers and distributors, we may lose customers and experience an increase in costs in seeking alternative supplier services. The failure to develop and maintain supplier and distributor relationships and any resulting disruptions to the provision of food and other supplies to our store locations could adversely affect our operating results.




8




Shortages or interruptions in the supply or delivery of fresh food products could adversely affect our operating results.


We will be dependent on frequent deliveries of fresh food products that meet our specifications. Shortages or interruptions in the supply of fresh food products caused by unanticipated demand, problems in production or distribution, inclement weather or other conditions could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of ingredients, which would adversely affect our operating results.


Changes in governmental regulations may adversely affect our business operations.


We will be subject to numerous laws and regulations. These laws change regularly and are increasingly complex. For example, we will be subject to:


·

The Americans with Disabilities Act in the U.S. and similar state laws that give civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities in the context of employment, public accommodations and other areas.

·

The U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs matters such as minimum wages, overtime and other working conditions, family leave mandates and a variety of similar state laws that govern these and other employment law matters.

·

Anti-bribery and corruption laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws.

·

New or changing laws and regulations relating to nutritional content, nutritional labeling, product safety and menu labeling.

·

New or changing laws relating to state and local licensing.

·

New or changing laws and regulations relating to health, sanitation, food, workplace safety and fire safety and prevention.

·

New or changing laws and regulations relating to union organizing rights and activities.

·

New or changing laws relating to information security, privacy, cashless payments and consumer credit, protection and fraud.

·

New or changing environmental regulations.

·

New or changing federal and state immigration laws and regulations in the U.S.

·

federal, state and local registration and regulation of pharmacies; applicable Medicare and Medicaid regulations; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA; the ACA; health and safety matters, including those governing exposure to, and the management and disposal of, hazardous substances; the Drug Enforcement Administration and federal and state laws governing the practice of the profession of pharmacy (to the extent our grocery stores offer pharmaceutical services).


New laws or changes in law could result in increased taxes, and compliance with new or existing laws and regulations could impact our operations. In addition, the compliance costs associated with these laws and regulations could be substantial, and any failure or alleged failure to comply with these laws or regulations could increase our exposure to litigation and governmental investigations or proceedings, which could increase our expenses and adversely affect our reputation and financial condition. Failure to comply with the laws and regulatory requirements of federal, state and local authorities could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses, administrative enforcement actions, fines and civil and criminal liability.


Changes in accounting standards may adversely affect the Company’s financial position


Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“accounting standards”) and interpretations by various governing bodies, including the SEC, for many aspects of the Company’s business, such as accounting for insurance and self-insurance, inventories, goodwill and intangible assets, store closures, leases, income taxes and stock-based compensation, are complex and involve subjective judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation may significantly change or add volatility to the Company’s reported earnings without a comparable underlying change in cash flow from operations. As a result, changes in accounting standards may materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Weak economic conditions will negatively affect the Company’s financial condition.


All of the Company’s store locations will be located in the United States making its results highly dependent on U.S. consumer confidence and spending habits. The U.S. economy has experienced economic volatility in recent years due to uncertainties related to higher unemployment rates, energy costs, a decline in the housing market, and limited availability of credit, all of which have contributed to suppressed consumer confidence. Consumer spending has declined as consumers trade down to a less expensive mix of products and seek out discounters for grocery items. In addition, inflation continues to be unpredictable; food deflation could reduce sales growth and earnings, while food inflation, combined with reduced consumer spending, could reduce gross profit margins. In the future, if these consumer spending patterns continue or worsen, along with an ongoing soft economy, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.


Failure to protect the integrity and security of individually identifiable data of our customers and employees could expose us to litigation and damage our reputation.


We will receive and maintain certain personal information about our customers and employees. The use of this information by us will be regulated by applicable law, as well as by certain third-party contracts. If our security and information systems are compromised or our business associates fail to comply with these laws and regulations and this information is obtained by unauthorized persons or used inappropriately, it could adversely affect our reputation, as well as our grocery store operations and results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we could be subject to litigation or the imposition of penalties. As privacy and information security laws and regulations change, we may incur additional costs to ensure we remain in compliance.


Our success will depend in part upon the efficient operation of our information technology systems.


The efficient operation of our businesses will be dependent on computer hardware and software systems. Information systems are vulnerable to security breach by computer hackers and cyber terrorists. We will rely on industry accepted security measures and technology to securely maintain confidential and proprietary information maintained on our information systems However, these measures and technology may not adequately prevent security breaches. In addition, the unavailability of the information systems or failure of these systems to perform as anticipated for any reason could disrupt the Company’s business and could result in decreased performance and increased overhead costs, causing the Company’s business and results of operations to suffer.


Additionally, the Company’s businesses will involve the receipt and storage of personal information about the Company’s customers. Data theft, information espionage or other criminal activity directed at the grocery or drug store industry, the transportation industry, or computer or communications systems may adversely affect the Company’s businesses by causing the Company to implement costly security measures in recognition of actual or potential threats, by requiring the Company to expend significant time and resources developing, maintaining or upgrading technology systems and by causing the Company to incur significant costs to reimburse third parties for damages. If the Company experiences a data security breach, it could be exposed to governmental enforcement actions and private litigation. The Company may also lose credibility with its customers, resulting in lost future sales.


Our profit margins will be narrow.


Profit margins in the grocery retail industry are narrow. In order to increase or maintain our profit margins, we will develop strategies to increase revenues, reduce costs and increase gross margins, such as new marketing programs, new advertising campaigns, productivity improvements, shrink reduction, distribution center efficiencies, energy efficiency programs and other similar strategies. Our failure to achieve forecasted cost reductions, revenue growth or gross margin improvement across the Company might have a material adverse effect on our business. Changes in our product mix also may negatively affect certain financial measures.





10



Failure to open and remodel stores will negatively affect our profit levels


Failure to open and remodel stores as planned could have a material adverse effect on our results. If, as a result of labor relations issues, supply issues or environmental and real estate delays, or other reasons, these capital projects do not stay within the time and financial budgets we have forecasted, our future financial performance could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, we cannot ensure that the new or remodeled stores will achieve anticipated same-store sales or profit levels.


We depend on our executive officers and the loss of these individuals could adversely affect our business.


Our Company is dependent on Shawn P. Clark, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Tysen J. Kamin, our Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Director.  The loss of either Mr. Clark’s or Mr. Kamin’s services would significantly and adversely affect our business. We have no life insurance on the lives of either Mr. Clark or Mr. Kamin.


Because our directors have other business interests, they may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail.


Our president, Shawn P. Clark, spends approximately 20% of his business time providing his services to us, and our vice-president, Tysen J. Kamin, spends approximately 20% of his business time providing his services to us. While Mr. Clark and Mr. Kamin presently possess adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on them from other obligations could increase with the result that they would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business.


We will need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations, which financing may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.


We will need to raise significant additional capital in the future to fund startup operations and expansion. We may desire to seek additional financing at times when we believe the terms are favorable and advantageous to our growth strategy. We would endeavor to raise funds through various financing sources, including the sale of our equity and/or debt securities, the procurement of commercial debt financing or private loans. However, there can be no guarantees that such funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand or continue our business as desired and operating results may be adversely affected. The unavailability of funds may require the Company to curtail or terminate its operations. Any debt financing will increase expenses and must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the following results can occur:


·

the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced;

·

our stockholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share; and/or

·

the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.


The terms of securities we issue in the future could also impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our products and services or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited.


The costs to meet our reporting and other requirements as a public company subject to the Exchange Act will be substantial and may result in us having insufficient funds to expand our business or even to meet routine business obligations.


Upon becoming subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements, if applicable. We estimate that these costs will range up to $15,000 per year for the next few years and will be higher if our business volume and activity increases but lower during the first year of being public because our overall business volume will be lower. These obligations will reduce our ability and resources to fund other aspects of our business and may prevent us from meeting our normal business obligations.

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock


The offering price of the Shares was determined based upon the price sold in our offering and should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities. Therefore, the offering price bears no relationship to the actual value of the Company and may make our shares difficult to sell.

 

Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price for the shares of common stock was determined by the price shares were sold to our shareholders in a private placement memorandum and is a fixed price at which the selling security holders may sell their shares until such time as our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or potential earnings of our Company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

 

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors' percentage ownership and may dilute our share value.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 14,702,250 shares are issued and outstanding and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, of which zero shares are issued and outstanding. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

 

Certain Company actions and the interests of stockholders may differ.


The voting control of the Company could discourage others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or another change-of-control transaction that could be beneficial to stockholders.  As a result, the value of stock could be harmed.  Purchasers should be aware that as of the date of the offering five (5) stockholders own an aggregate of 96% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.


The Company may be subject to rights of preferred stockholders.


The Company has authorized 25,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock none of which is currently outstanding. Upon issuance of any preferred stock in the future, the rights attached to the preferred shares could affect the Company’s ability to operate, which could force the Company to seek other financing.  Such financing may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all and could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders.


Currently, there is no public market for our securities, and we cannot assure you that any public market will ever develop.


Currently, there is no public market for our stock and our stock may never be traded on any exchange or over-the-counter bulletin board, or quotation system, or, if traded, a public market may not materialize. Even if we are successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable shareholders to sell their stock.





12




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


Our common stock price may fluctuate substantially, and a shareholder's investment could decline in value.


The market price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including:

 

·

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;

·

announcements of significant acquisitions or other agreements by us or by our competitors;

·

our sale of common stock or other securities in the future;

·

trading volume of our common stock;

·

conditions and trends in the retail grocery industry;

·

changes in the estimation of the future size and growth of our markets; and

·

general economic conditions, including, without limitation, changes in the cost of fuel.


In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to companies' operating performance. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, shareholder derivative lawsuits and/or securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.


Our common stock may be subject to “penny stock” rules which may be detrimental to investors.


The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and 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 transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities 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. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.


There are significant consequences to the ownership of securities of a shell company.


We are defined as a shell company because we have no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As a result of the Company’s shell company status, we are ineligible to file a registration of securities using Form S-8. Also, Rule 144 is unavailable for transfers of our securities until we have ceased to be a shell company, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; we have filed Exchange Reports for 12 months and a minimum of one year has elapsed since the filing of Form 10 information on Form 8-K changing our status from a shell company to a non-shell company.




13




 Five (5) shareholders own an aggregate of 96% of our outstanding common stock, which significantly limits other shareholders’ ability to influence the outcome of any shareholder vote.


Five of our shareholders beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 96% of our outstanding common stock as of the date of this Prospectus. Under our Certificate of Incorporation and the laws of the State of Delaware, the vote of a majority of the shares voting at a meeting at which a quorum is present is generally required to approve most shareholder actions. Accordingly, such majority shareholders will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and a change in control. The interests of our majority shareholders may differ from the interests of our other shareholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to our other shareholders.


We have never paid a dividend on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future.


We have not paid a cash dividend on our common stock to date, and we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ability to successfully acquire grocery stores and generate revenue from operations. Notwithstanding, we will likely elect to retain earnings, if any, to finance our growth. Future dividends may also be limited by bank loan agreements or other financing instruments that we may enter into in the future. The declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.


We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.


Recent US legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and NASDAQ are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.  


Industry Overview


Our business plan is to acquire small and medium grocery stores in non-urban locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains.


This Prospectus includes market and industry data that we have developed from publicly available information, various industry publications and other published industry sources which we believe to be reliable and our internal data and estimates. Our internal data, estimates and forecasts are based upon information obtained from trade and business organizations and other contacts in the market in which we operate and our management’s understanding of industry conditions.

 

Upon request, the Company will provide copies of such sources cited herein at a nominal cost.

The U.S. retail grocery market includes a variety of distribution channels, from small grocery shops and convenience stores to supermarkets, specialty and natural food stores, warehouse stores and supercenters. According to Willard Bishop's June 2012 publication, The Future of Food Retailing, the U.S. retail market for groceries and consumables was approximately $1.07 trillion in 2011. We will operate in the supermarket channel, which accounted for nearly 47% of the retail grocery market in 2011. The Food Marketing Institute reports in its Supermarket Facts that total supermarket sales reached over $602 billion in 2012.


In The Future of Food Retailing, traditional supermarkets are defined as those offering a full line of groceries, meat and produce, with at least $2 million in annual sales, and no more than 15% of sales in general merchandise or health and beauty care. According to Willard Bishop's June 2012 publication, The Future of Food Retailing, the average traditional supermarket in the U.S. is approximately 52,500 square feet in size, carries 45,600 stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) and generates $15 million in revenue each year. They typically carry anywhere from 15,000 to 60,000 SKUs, and may have a deli, bakery or pharmacy. In 2011, according to The Future of Food Retailing, there were 26,345 traditional supermarkets in the U.S. Traditional supermarkets have struggled to recover from the recession and continue to lose market share as consumers search for lower prices in the interest of reducing spending, or shift shopping trips to limited-assortment stores (which offer a limited number of SKUs), supercenters, and wholesale clubs. It is projected in The Future of Food Retailing that traditional supermarket sales will contract at an annual rate of 1.4% through 2016, and market share will have dropped to 37.4% in 2016, from 40.1% in 2011. However, in 2011 traditional supermarkets saw a sales increase of 4.4%, with a 1% decrease in the number of stores, according to The Future of Food Retailing, and average weekly sales in 2011 were $298,199.


The U.S. grocery industry, which is not immune to general economic downturns, has historically been characterized by low profit margins. According to the 2011 Food Marketing Institute study, The Food Retailing Industry Speaks, the net earnings before taxes for the grocery industry in 2010 was 1.57% in 2010, essentially unchanged from the 1.62% posted in 2009 and down substantially from the 2.6% margin posted in 2003. The U.S. grocery industry is also susceptible to food inflation. It is predicted in The Future of Food Retailing that food inflation will average 3.2% between 2011 and 2016 and traditional supermarkets will not keep pace, with their annual sales growth rate at -1.4%.


Some of the current trends in the grocery industry include:


Emphasis on Value - According to the Food Marketing Institute’s report Grocery Shopper Trends 2012, consumers reported that what matters most to them when choosing a primary store, aside from convenience, are lower prices in general and lower prices on specific items. With the economic downturn, consumers appear to be are adopting value-seeking habits.  


Increasing Focus on the Customer Shopping Experience - Supermarkets are focused on enhancing the consumer's shopping experience as a point of differentiation and being more responsive to consumer preferences through their consumer interactions and product offerings. According to the Food Marketing Institute, in 2011 93% of grocery stores offered prepared foods, 88% had floral departments, 81% carried ethnic foods and 80% carried natural and organic foods.


Growing Importance of Prepared Foods - Prepared meal solutions have become an increasingly important offering by food retailers as consumers have reduced their spending on meals away from home in response to recent economic pressures. According to the Food Marketing Institute, more than 93.4% of supermarkets include fresh prepared meals for takeout in their product offerings.


Increasing Private Label Offerings - Consumers have continued to turn to private label products as part of their focus on value. Supermarkets are increasingly developing and promoting private label brands to distinguish themselves from their competitors and promote customer loyalty, as well as to enhance margins. According to the Food Marketing Institute, private brand sales increased from 14.3% of total grocery sales in 2009 to 16.1% in 2011.


Focus on Perishables - A growing consumer focus on healthy eating has prompted food retailers to provide an enhanced offering of fresh foods and natural and organic products. Increased demand for perishables has led to additional supply, improving the distribution and selection of these products.




15




Emphasis on Convenience - Over the last decade, convenience of store location and format has emerged as one of the central drivers of consumer shopping decisions. Contributing to this effect, high fuel prices have encouraged consumers to seek shopping locations in close proximity to their homes over long trips to more remote retailers. Other industry trends, such as increasing demand for prepared and perishable foods, reward convenient store locations with high frequency shopping patterns.


Increased use of Technology - Consumers are increasingly using technology as part of their shopping experience. According to Grocery Shopper Trends 2012, 52% of consumers use technology in grocery shopping, including online coupons, mobile technology to keep lists and find recipes, and checking prices at various stores online. Much of consumers’ technology use is related to discovering the best value.

Description of Business


The Company


We were incorporated on May 13, 2010 in the State of Delaware. We have no subsidiaries.  The Company has not been the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings or any reclassification, merger or consolidation proceedings.  


Our independent auditors have indicated, in their report on our December 31, 2012 and 2011 financial statements, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to shareholders, in the event of liquidation. The going concern consideration is based on the Company’s absence of revenues to date.

 

Our principal offices are located at 216 S. Jefferson Street, Suite LL1, Chicago, Illinois 60661. Our telephone number is (312) 397-9300, Extension 204.


The original purpose of the Company was to acquire a portfolio of heavily discounted real estate properties in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Company abandoned its original business plan because of the absence of a sufficient number of suitable properties available for purchase at prices which would allow the business plan to succeed considering the state of the real estate market, challenges related to decreased consumer confidence and the weakened economic conditions in general. The Company has changed its focus and now plans to acquire small and medium-sized grocery stores that have a dominant presence in non-urban markets not directly served by large national supermarket chains, wholesale clubs or supercenters.


The Company is a development stage company and is subject to the risks associated with development stage companies. As of the date of this report, the Company has not yet acquired any grocery stores or commenced operations. The Company's primary activities since incorporation have been organizational in nature and related to the Company’s formation and registration statement and development of its business plan. The Company has not generated any revenues from these activities and, accordingly, it is in the development stage.


The Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to acquire any grocery stores. The Company has not identified any potential acquisition targets.


Business Strategy


The Company plans to acquire small and medium-sized grocery stores that are the dominant presence in their non-urban markets. By acquiring stores that are situated in less competitive locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains, wholesale clubs and supercenters, the Company anticipates that it will be able to achieve financial returns that meet or exceed industry norms because stores in less competitive locales will be under less pressure to heavily discount their prices.


The implementation of our business plan is subject to obtaining funding to hire personnel and begin acquiring grocery stores. We may obtain funding through a public or private offering of securities, commercial financing, loans from officers or directors or a combination of these means. We have not yet made plans to conduct a securities offering, obtain commercial financing or a private loan. We will not be able to begin implementing our business plan until we have secured financing to begin operations. Funds necessary to implement our business operations may not be available in amounts necessary or at all. As acquisitions occur, we anticipate that we will be able to fund expansion with the revenue generated from operations. In the meantime, if we are unable to secure sufficient funding to initiate our business plan, we will postpone the implementation of our business plan as currently developed or reduce or curtail operations until sufficient funding becomes available.




18




The Company plans to acquire grocery stores that are approximately 15,000 to 20,000 square feet in size and generating $5 to $8 million in revenue each year. Ideally, the acquisitions will be clustered regionally, which will allow the Company to centralize certain operational functions, including purchasing and marketing. The centralization of these functions should provide the consolidated stores with the critical mass and leverage to demand enhanced service and financial concessions from its distributors and marketing vendors. The representative store will have had a long-standing presence in its community and a history of stable financial performance. Many of these stores will have been family owned and operated. The Company expects to acquire most of its grocery stores from owners looking for a financial exit strategy. The Company believes that there is not a robust market for the sale of such properties and that the lack of bids for such properties will allow it to acquire such grocery stores for little more than the value of their equipment and inventory. Ideally, the Company will acquire grocery stores from owners who will continue to manage the stores as employees of the Company. If the former owners elect not to manage the stores on behalf of the Company, the Company will either promote qualified new managers from the pool of existing employees of the grocery store or hire experienced managers from outside the Company


The Company will seek to drive additional customer traffic to its acquired grocery stores and expand their operating margins through the introduction of new products and services to those stores that lack them, including:


·

Pharmaceutical services

·

Floral departments

·

Gasoline and other automotive products

·

Prepared foods

·

Lottery service, where appropriate

·

Alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and spirits), where appropriate


The Companys ability to add pharmacies and floral departments will be dependent upon its ability to hire qualified personnel and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Local regulations may restrict its ability to sell gasoline and other automotive products.   


Proposed Products to be Sold at Grocery Stores


The Company’s stores will sell non-perishable, perishable and non-food products. Most of the products are expected to be nationally and regionally advertised brands. Perishable product sales also typically generate higher gross margins than non-perishable products. The products will likely include the following categories:


·

Grocery, frozen and dairy

·

Produce

·

Meat and seafood

·

Bakery

·

Deli, cheese and prepared foods

·

Floral

·

Beer, wine and spirits

·

Health and beauty care

Proposed Milestones to Implement Business Operations

 

The following milestones are based on the estimates made by management. The working capital requirements and the projected milestones are approximations and subject to adjustments. Our budget for the twelve months following the effectiveness of our Registration Statement is based on implementing operations at a conservative level, which will be funded by a revenues generated from operations (after acquisitions occur) or, in the meantime, public or private offering of securities, commercial financing, loans from officers or directors or a combination of these means. We have not yet made plans to conduct a securities offering or obtain commercial financing. Our five major shareholders have made a commitment to loan up to an aggregate of $50,000 to cover the costs incurred by the Company to maintain compliance with its SEC reporting requirements for the one-year period following the effectiveness of its registration statement, which commitment letter is attached as Exhibit 10.11 to the registration statement. Funds necessary to achieve our proposed milestones and implement our business operations may not be available in amounts necessary or at all. We will not be able to begin implementing our business plan until we have secured financing to begin operations. The unavailability of additional financing could prevent or delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and may require the Company to curtail or terminate its operations. If we begin to generate profits, we will increase our marketing and sales activity accordingly. The costs associated with this registration statement and the operation of the Company as a public company are included in our budget. Management will be responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum. Subject to securing financing to commence operations, we plan to complete our milestones as follows:


0 to 3 Months


The Company plans to recruit an experienced Chief Operating Officer with expertise in the acquisition and management of grocery stores. Candidates for the position will be offered a base salary of $50,000 and incentive compensation (a combination of stock options and cash bonuses) tied to the overall profitability of the Company. The precise details of the incentive compensation and the targeted profitability that would trigger the payment of the incentive compensation have not yet been determined.


The Company will initially focus its acquisition efforts on acquiring stores in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Company expects to acquire most of its grocery stores from owners looking for a financial exit strategy. The Company believes that there is not a robust market for the sale of such properties and that the absence of competing bids will allow it to acquire grocery stores for little more than the value of their equipment and inventory. The Company will not open new grocery stores.


The Company anticipates that its acquisitions will be made with a combination of deferred payment, notes payable to the former owner(s) and equity. None of the Company’s initial acquisitions will be made with cash. At this time it is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty the costs of any such acquisitions. Such acquisition costs will be dependent upon many factors which are currently unknown including, without limitation, the size of the store to be acquired, its historical financial results and whether the store is a stand-alone store or part of a grocery store chain.


Ideally, the Company will acquire grocery stores from owners who will continue to manage the store as employees of the Company. If the former owners elect not to manage the stores on behalf of the Company, the Company will either promote qualified new managers from the existing employees of the store or hire experienced managers from outside the Company.


The officers and directors of the Company have agreed to defer any compensation until the Company is cash flow positive.


The anticipated expenditures for the first three months subsequent to the effectiveness of the Company’s Registration Statement include: $29,000 for the offering costs associated with the Company’s registration statement; $2,000 for the purchase of a computer, a printer and accounting software; $7,000 (six weeks’ compensation) for a Chief Operating Officer; $500 for legal fees; $4,500 for part-time administrative personnel; and $2,000 for expenses incurred in the search for and investigation of potential acquisition opportunities.




20




4 to 6 Months


The Company expects to complete its initial acquisition of an operating grocery store during this period, at which time it is expected to begin to generate revenue. The acquisition will be financed with a combination of deferred compensation, notes payable to the former owner(s) and equity. The Company will not pay cash for any of the acquisitions that it makes during the year after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.


The Company will begin to assemble a network of grocery industry consultants to search for potential acquisitions. The compensation of the consultants will be directly tied to their ability to identify and close desirable acquisitions and the post-acquisition performance of those acquisitions.


The anticipated expenditures for this three-month period include: $4,000 for accounting and legal expenses associated with the Company’s compliance with SEC reporting requirements; $12,000 for a Chief Operating Officer; $1,000 for legal fees; $4,500 for part-time administrative personnel; $2,000 for marketing activities, and $4,000 for expenses incurred in the search for and investigation of potential acquisition opportunities.


7 to 9 Months


The Company expects to make a second acquisition during this period.  The anticipated expenditures for this three-month period include $4,000 for accounting and legal expenses associated with the Company’s compliance with SEC reporting requirements; $12,000 for a Chief Operating Officer, $2,000 for legal fees; $9,000 for full-time administrative personnel; $4,000 for marketing activities; and $7,000 for expenses incurred in the search for and investigation of potential acquisition opportunities.


10 to 12 Months


The Company expects to make a third acquisition during this period. The anticipated expenditures for this three-month period include $4,000 for accounting and legal expenses associated with the Company’s compliance with SEC reporting requirements; $12,000 for a Chief Operating Officer; $2,000 for legal fees; $9,000 for full-time administrative personnel; $12,000 for a full-time Purchasing Manager; $5,000 for marketing activities; and $9,000 for expenses incurred in the search for and investigation of potential acquisition opportunities.


Any line item amounts not expended completely will be held in reserve as working capital and subject to reallocation to other line item expenditures as required for ongoing operations.


All milestones are subject to securing financing to commence operations. The Company will undertake to achieve subsequent milestones only to the extent that sufficient funding is available. The Company does not have any commitments or arrangements to obtain any such funds, and there can be no assurance that required financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. The unavailability of additional financing could prevent or delay the implementation of the Company’s business plan and may require the Company to curtail or terminate its operations. If at any time during the first year of operations, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue or funds are otherwise unavailable to continue its business plan, it will temporarily defer equipment, personnel, marketing and development expenses until sufficient funds become available and in the meantime will expend only those funds as available and as required to maintain the existence of the Company.


The Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to acquire any grocery stores. The Company has not identified any potential acquisition targets.


Pricing


By acquiring stores that are situated in less competitive locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains, wholesale clubs and supercenters, the Company anticipates that it will be under less pressure to heavily discount its prices.




21




Compliance with Governmental Regulation


The Company’s operations will be subject to regulation by a variety of governmental agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, local departments governing alcoholic beverage sales, and state and local health departments. The Company will work to ensure that its operations comply in all material respects with federal, state and local health, environmental and other laws and regulations. To the extent that pharmaceutical services are included in any grocery stores we acquire, our business will be subject to additional federal, state and local government laws and regulations application to the registration and regulation of pharmacies; applicable Medicare and Medicaid regulations; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA; the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA); regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.


Competition

 

Food retailing is a large, intensely competitive industry. Our future competition will include but not be limited to local, regional and national conventional and specialty supermarkets, warehouse membership clubs, online retailers, smaller specialty stores, farmers’ markets and restaurants, each of which will compete with us on the basis of convenience, store ambiance and experience, product selection, quality, customer service, price or a combination of these factors.


Advertising and Marketing


According to the Food Marketing Institute, the average grocery store spends approximately 1.5% of its total revenue on advertising and marketing. By acquiring stores in locales that are not subject to intense competition, the Company believes that its advertising and marketing expense will be substantially below the industry average. All of the Company’s marketing dollars will be spent locally once it has acquired grocery stores and commenced operations. The Company’s marketing strategy will feature a convenient shopping experience to customers with a focus on service and fresh perishables. The advertising will occasionally be focused primarily on the promotion of events rather than prices; for example, the individual stores may emphasize special holiday selections, new products, specialty items, services and recipes. The Company will use aggressive marketing programs to continuously cement its image as the local store providing a broad spectrum of national brands, private labels, local and non-food items at fair and competitive prices.


The Company will primarily rely on print circulars as its advertising strategy. The Company will place advertisements in local newspapers and run radio and television commercials through local and affiliated station. It will also be an active participant in local events and community non-profit activities.


The Company will also consider the development of a frequent shopper program, which could provide discounts and rebates to its customers based on the volume of their purchases. According to the Food Marketing Institute, 51% of all grocery stores have frequent shopper programs.


Procurement


Once it has commenced operations, the Company anticipates that it will buy most of its products including nationally branded and private label grocery products, perishable food products, non-food items and specialty grocery products through one or more regional or national food distributors that may include such companies as Nash-Finch and SUPERVALU. The Company may also purchase certain specialty products from vendors other than its primary distributors if those products are not available from its primary distributors. Distribution prices are generally based on market prices plus fee and freight basis, with the fee based on the type of commodity and quantity purchased. Freight costs are subject to the addition of fuel surcharges during periods of rising fuel costs. Food distributors generally offer rebates and discounts to their customers that are based on the yearly volume of product that is purchased from the distributor. Some distributors offer enhanced services such as promotional, advertising and merchandising programs, installation of computerized ordering, receiving and scanning systems; retail equipment procurement assistance, providing contacts for accounting, budgeting and payroll services, consumer and market research, financial assistance primarily in connection with new store development or the upgrading and expansion of existing stores, securing existing grocery stores for sale or lease for possible sale or sublease to grocery store customers and internet services providing supply chain efficiencies.



22



The Company intends to centralize its purchasing operations and retain just one primary distributor, which will allow it to use its enhanced purchasing power to maximize the discounts and rebates that are available to the Company.


Seasonality


The grocery business is somewhat seasonal with sales tending to increase during the last quarter of the year due to the holiday season and related specialty merchandise.


Information Technology


Once it commences operations, the Company will install a centralized operations and accounting software package to manage its individual stores. Such software systems are often provided at no charge to grocery stores by their distributors. The Company will be required to purchase the computer equipment and point-of-sale terminals on which the software will run. Distributors will supply to the Company periodic software updates for the software systems provided.


Intellectual Property


The Company plans to rely on a combination of trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as confidentially agreements and contractual provisions, to protect its proprietary technology and brands, as appropriate.


Employees and Employment Agreements


At present, we have no employees and no employment agreements. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. Our officers and directors currently provide services on a consultant basis. As the Company progresses beyond startup to an operational stage, we intend to hire employees and engage independent contractors on as as-needed basis.


Use of Proceeds


The selling stockholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this Prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of these shares. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the selling security holders.


Determination of Offering Price

 

The selling shareholders will sell the shares at $0.10 per share until such time as our shares are quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price, based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. There is no assurance of when, if ever, our stock will be listed on any exchange.


The offering price of the shares of our common stock has been determined based on the price of shares of our common stock sold to our shareholders in a private offering and does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. Although our common stock is not quoted for trading on any electronic exchange or listed on a public exchange, we intend, upon meeting eligibility requirements to apply for quotation of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) which is maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). In order for our stock to be quoted for trading on the OTCBB, the Company will be required to intend to identify a market maker to file an application with FINRA. We will have to satisfy certain criteria in order for our application to be accepted. We do not currently have a market maker that is willing to participate in this application process, and even if we identify a market maker, we cannot assure you that we will meet the requisite criteria or that our application will be accepted. Our common stock may never be quoted on the OTCBB, or, even if quoted, a public market may not materialize.




23




In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial public offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.


Dilution

 

The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders in this Offering is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.

Each of the above shareholders beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment over all shares or rights to the shares registered in the shareholder’s name.


To our knowledge, other than as specified above, none of the selling shareholders:

 

·

has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years;

·

has ever been one of our officers or directors; or

·

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions.


The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The offering price was determined by the price shares were sold to our shareholders in a private placement memorandum. Prior to being quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. Our common stock is not quoted for trading on any electronic exchange or listed on a public exchange, and there is no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market or an active trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment or make any profit from the investment.  However, sales by selling security holder must be made at the fixed price of $0.10 until such time as our shares are quoted on the OTCBB.


Once our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:

 

·

ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,

·

transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, market where our common stock is trading,

·

through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,

·

through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or

·

any combination of the foregoing.

 

In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this Prospectus.

 

Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares.




26




We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this Prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $30,000. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.


The selling shareholders must comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be underwriters, they must comply with applicable law.  The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agents or acquire the common stock as principals. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders or from such purchaser if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker’s or dealer’s commitment to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders.


We have informed them that they may not, among other things:


1.

engage in any stabilization activities in connection with the shares;

2.

effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the Prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if required, to describe the terms of the sale or distribution; and

3.

bid for or purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.


Description of Securities

 

The following statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The Shares offered under this Prospectus are shares of common stock, all of the same class and entitled to the same rights and privileges as all other shares of common stock.


Capital Stock


The total authorized capital stock of the Company is 125,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are 14,702,250 shares of common stock issued outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.


As of the date of this Prospectus, there are 40 holders of record of the Company’s common stock.


The holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our common stock does not provide the right to preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our common stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote.

 



27




All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable. We refer you to our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Delaware for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.  All material terms of our common stock have been addressed in this section.

 

Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

 

Options and Warrants


There are no outstanding options or warrants or other securities that are convertible into our common stock.


Dividend Policy


We have not paid any cash dividends to shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions.  It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.


Transfer Agent


To date, we have acted as our own registrar and transfer agent. Following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which this Prospectus is a part, the Company intends to engage the services of a commercial transfer agent.


Penny Stock Regulation


The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and 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 transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities 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. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.


Interests of Named Experts and Counsel


No expert or counsel named in this Prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this Prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the Shares was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the Offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the Company, nor was any such person connected with the Company as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.


The Law Office of Synergy Law Group, LLC, 730 West Randolph Street, Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60661 has passed upon the validity of the shares being offered and certain other legal matters and is representing us in connection with this offering.




28




The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period of May 13, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2012 included herewith have been audited by LBB & Associates Ltd. LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm located at 10260 Westheimer Road, Suite 310, Houston, TX 77042 have been so included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.


Reports to Securities Holders


We will make our financial information equally available to any interested parties or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules of Regulation S-K for a smaller reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act. We will become subject to disclosure filing requirements once our S-1 registration statement becomes effective, including filing Form 10K annually and Form 10Q quarterly. In addition, we will file Form 8K and other proxy and information statements from time to time as required. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.


Description of Property


The Company’s business offices are located at 216 South Jefferson Street, Suite LL1, Chicago, Illinois 60661. On October 1, 2010, the Company entered into a lease for $5,000 per month with Bella Group Investments, an entity affiliated by common ownership with certain of the Company’s shareholders. The lease was not extended when it expired on August 31, 2011. The office space is currently being provided to the Company rent free by Bella Investment Group, an entity affiliated with our CEO. We expect to enter into a lease for office space as needed as the Company develops from a startup business into an operating entity.


Shell Company Status


Rule 405 of the Securities Act defines the term “shell company” as a registrant, other than an asset-backed issuer, that has:


(1)  No or nominal operations; and

(2)  Either:

(i)    No or nominal assets;

(ii)   Assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or

(iii)  Assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.


For purposes of this definition, the determination of a registrant’s assets (including cash and cash equivalents) is based solely on the amount of assets that would be reflected on the registrant’s balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on the date of that determination.  The Company has no or nominal operations and has assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents and is, therefore, a shell company as defined under Rule 405.


The Company’s shell company status results in the following consequences:


·

The Company is ineligible to file a registration of securities using Form S-8; and


·

Rule 144 is unavailable for transfers of our securities until we have ceased to be a shell company, are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; we have filed Exchange Reports for 12 months and a minimum of one year has elapsed since the filing of Form 10 information on Form 8-K changing our status from a shell company to a non-shell company.




29




Legal Proceedings


There are no pending, nor to our knowledge threatened, legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its property is subject. From time to time, however, the Company may be subject to claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business.


Subsidiaries


We do not have any subsidiaries.


Patents and Trademarks


We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.


MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS


There is presently no public market for our common stock and there has never been a market for our common stock. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, we intend to identify a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to have our common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). In order to have our common stock quoted for trading on the OTCBB, we will have to satisfy certain criteria in order for our application to be accepted. We do not currently have a market maker that is willing to participate in this application process, and even if we identify a market maker, we cannot assure you that we will meet the requisite criteria or that our application will be accepted. Our common stock may never be quoted on the OTCBB, or, even if quoted, a public market may not materialize.


SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, we have 14,702,250 shares of common stock outstanding.  Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, the 590,000 shares to be sold in this offering will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

 

The outstanding shares of our common stock not included in this Prospectus will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

 

Public Float

 

Of our outstanding shares, 14,112,250 shares are beneficially owned by executive officers, directors and affiliates. The remaining 590,000 shares, upon registration, will constitute our public float.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person, other than an affiliate, who has beneficially owned securities for at least six months, including the holding period of prior owners is entitled to sell his or her shares without any volume limitations; an affiliate, however, can sell such number of shares within any three-month period as does not exceed the greater of:

 

·

1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, or

·

the average weekly trading volume of common stock on the OTCBB during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to that sale.





30




Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about an issuer. In order to effect a Rule 144 sale of common stock, the transfer agent requires an opinion from legal counsel.  Further, the six-month holding period is applicable only to issuers who have been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days.


As of the date of this Prospectus, no shares of our common stock are available for sale under Rule 144.

  

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Former Shell Companies

 

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities issued by any issuer that is or has been at any time previously a shell company unless the following conditions have been 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 Form 8-K reports; and

·

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.


Shareholders of Our Common Stock


As of the date of this Prospectus, we have 40 shareholders of record.


Stock Options and Warrants


To date, we have not granted any stock options, warrants or any other securities convertible into shares of our common stock, and we have no shares reserved for issuance under any stock option plan.


Dividends


There are no restrictions in our Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws that prevent us from declaring dividends. Our By-Laws permit the Board of Directors to establish various reserves before the payment of any dividend.  The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may pay dividends out of its surplus or, if none, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Declaration and payment of dividends is prohibited during any period in which the capital of the corporation is less than the amount represented by issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. The discussions of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily occur.  This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Prospectus, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.   






31




Overview


The Company intends to acquire small and medium sized grocery stores that are the dominant presence in their non-urban markets. By acquiring stores that are situated in less competitive locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains, wholesale clubs and supercenters, the Company believes that it can achieve financial returns that meet or exceed industry norms because stores in less competitive locales will be under less pressure to heavily discount their prices. The acquisitions will be clustered regionally, which will allow the Company to centralize certain operational functions, including purchasing and marketing. The centralization of these functions should provide the consolidated stores with the critical mass and leverage to demand enhanced service and financial concessions from its distributors and marketing vendors.


We have not yet acquired any grocery stores under our business plan and have not begun operations.


Overall Outlook


Our main business emphasis will be on revenues from sales generated in our stores. Due to a number of factors affecting consumers, including among others the increasing Federal deficit, volatility in the stock market, the European debt crisis and high unemployment levels, all of which have resulted in reduced levels of consumer spending, the outlook for the supermarket industry remains highly unpredictable. Because of these uncertain conditions, we will need to focus on managing our operating margins. Our present objective is to manage our cost and expense structure to address the expected depressed business volumes and generate strong and stable cash flow. We will continually work to position our Company for greater success by strengthening our existing operations and growing through capital investment and other strategic initiatives.


Selected Financial Data


The Company was organized on May 13, 2010.  Our total current assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $16 and $1,639, respectively, our current liabilities were $38,571 and $34,066. Our total stockholders’ deficit was $38,555 and $32,427, respectively as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. As of December 31, 2012, the Company held cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $16.  From inception through December 31, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $98,966.  

 

Plan of Operation


We are a development stage company. We have not yet started operations or generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.  The Company does not own any grocery stores and has no current plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to acquire any grocery stores. The company has not identified any potential acquisition targets.


Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because as of September 30, 2013 we have an accumulated deficit of $106,589, we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin operating retail grocery establishments. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than our operations. Our only other sources for cash at this time are commercial financings and additional sales of stock. Our success or failure will be determined by what additional financing we obtain and the success of our planned retail grocery establishments.


We have no employees at this time. We intend to hire employees and engage independent contractors as justified by the demands of the business and depending on the availability of funding.





32




Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital


After we acquire grocery stores, we intend to fund operations with revenue generated from operations. However, we have not yet commenced operations, and commencement of operations is subject to the availability of sufficient capital. Until we generate revenues, we expect to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, commercial financing, private loans and/or the proceeds from a public and/or private securities offering. The extent of our operations will be governed by the amount of capital we are able to raise.


The Company has minimal cash and currently carries accounts payables of approximately $35,341. The Company has taken several steps in order to sustain viability of the Company until commencement of operations:


1.

The Company has secured an extension of the Notes payable to our President, Shawn P. Clark. Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Registration Statement, Mr. Clark has agreed to extend the Maturity Date to June 30, 2015 with respect to Notes owed by the Company to Mr. Clark in the aggregate amount of $10,838.


2.

Synergy Law Group, LLC has agreed to convert the account payable due from the Company to a Note Payable in the amount of $34,541 with a Maturity Date of June 30, 2015. The Note Payable from the Company to Synergy Law Group, LLC is filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the Registration Statement.


3.

Our President, Shawn P. Clark, has provided a written commitment to loan approximately $5,750 to the Company to cover certain offering expenses (transfer agent and edgar conversion services) to the Company in exchange for a Note Payable with a Maturity Date of June 30, 2015. The Loan Commitment is filed as Exhibit 10.10 to the Registration Statement.


4.

We estimate that the Company will require approximately $14,750 (excluding legal fees) to maintain the securities filings current during 2014. The Company has obtained a written commitment from the five major shareholders to loan the funds necessary to the Company for this purpose up to a maximum aggregate of $15,000 in exchange for Notes Payable in the exact amount of the loans with a Maturity Date of June 30, 2015. The Loan Commitment is filed as Exhibit 10.11 to the Registration Statement.


5.

Finally, Synergy Law Group, LLC has verbally agreed to accept a Note Payable for the services provided to the Company during 2014, which Note Payable would bear a Maturity Date of June 30, 2015.



Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since inception, we have raised $59,000 through the sale of our common stock and have incurred expenses of $106,589. Our projected financial requirements for the next 12 months are $163,500.


Our initial financial requirements will be funded by a public or private offering of securities, commercial financing, loan from officers or directors or a combination of these means. We will not be able to begin implementing our business plan until we have secured financing to commence operations. We have not yet made plans to conduct a securities offering, obtain commercial financing or a private loan. The Company does not have any commitments or arrangements to obtain any such funds and there can be no assurance that required financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. The unavailability of additional financing could prevent or delay the implementation of the Company’s business plan and may require the Company to curtail or terminate its operations. If sufficient financing is unavailable, the Company will defer non-essential operating expenses until sufficient funds become available. The Company is in its development stage and has not begun operations. As such, the Company has no historical periods with which to compare anticipated capital requirements in the future.


Results of Operations


We did not earn any revenues from our incorporation on May 13, 2010 to September 30, 2013. We are a development stage company and can provide no assurance that we will commence operations or that such operations, if commenced, will be successful.



33




We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $106,589 for the period from our inception on May 13, 2010 to September 30, 2013. These operating expenses were comprised of rent of $55,000 and general and administrative fees of $51,589.


We have not commenced operations or generated revenue and are dependent upon sufficient capital to pursue our business plan. For these reasons, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


Important Assumptions


Start-up companies involve a high degree of risk and many development stage companies never commence operations or achieve their business plans.  At this stage without having commenced operations, we are unable to determine whether we will be able to sufficiently convert our business plan into a successful business operation.  The implementation of our business plan will be possible only upon obtaining sufficient funding.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants


None.


Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In accordance with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management reviews and refines those estimates, the following of which materially impact our financial statements: the recoverability of long-lived assets; preservation of assets held for development; valuation of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill; determination of self-insured reserves; and provisions for deferred tax assets, certain tax liabilities and uncertain tax positions.

 

Judgments are based on information including, but not limited to, historical experience, industry trends, conventional practices, expert opinions, terms of existing agreements and information from outside sources. Judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and therefore actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


The Company’s by-laws provide that directors of the Company hold office for annual terms and will remain in their positions until successors have been elected and qualified. Stockholders owning a majority of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock have the ability to remove a director. The officers are appointed by the board of directors of the Company and hold office until their death, resignation or removal from office.  The ages, positions held, and duration of terms of the directors and executive officers are as follows:

Term of Office


Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our By-Laws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.


Director Independence


Our directors are not “independent directors” using the definition of ‘‘independent director’’ contained under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules and by the regulations of the Exchange Act.  However, we are not subject to the NASDAQ Listing Rules or the rules of any national securities exchange because our securities are not listed thereon.


Board Committees


We have not previously had an audit committee, compensation committee or nominations and governance committee. In 2013, our board of directors expects to create such committees, in compliance with established corporate governance requirements.


Audit Committee.  We plan to establish an audit committee of the board of directors. The audit committee’s duties would be to recommend to the board of directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to review our accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee would review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee would at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.


Compensation Committee.  We plan to establish a compensation committee of the board of directors. The compensation committee would review and approve our salary and benefits policies, including compensation of executive officers. The compensation committee would also administer our proposed Incentive Compensation Plan, and recommend and approve grants of stock options and restricted stock under that plan.


Nominations and Governance Committee.  We plan to establish a nominations and governance committee of the board of directors. The purpose of the nominations and governance committee would be to select, or recommend for our entire board’s selection, the individuals to stand for election as directors at the annual meeting of stockholders and to oversee the selection and composition of committees of our board. The nominations and governance committee’s duties would also include considering the adequacy of our corporate governance and overseeing and approving management continuity planning processes.


Director Compensation


Directors are expected to timely and fully participate in all regular and special board meetings, and all meetings of committees on which they serve. We expect to compensate non-management directors through minimal cash compensation and stock option or restricted stock grants under our 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan. In the future we plan to pay non-management directors $5,000 per year in cash and to provide restrictive stock grants to such directors of 25,000 shares per year which would vest one year from issuance. Our management directors do not receive any additional cash compensation for service on the Board.

On May 13, 2010, the Company issued 4,233,675 shares of Company common stock to Mr. Clark and 5,644,900 shares of Company common stock to Mr. Kamin for services rendered in connection with the organization of the company. Other than the issuance of said shares, we have not compensated and have no arrangements to compensate our officers and directors for their services to us as officers and directors. There are no employment agreements or consulting agreements with our current directors and executive officers except as provided herein. There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We do not have any bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation has been paid to our directors or executive officers. We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control.


Key Link Assets Corp. 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan


On May 13, 2010, our board of directors and holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock adopted and approved the Key Link Assets Corp. 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (“Incentive Compensation Plan”). The purpose of our Incentive Compensation Plan is to provide stock options, stock issuances and other equity interests to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors, advisors and other persons who have made or are expected to make contributions to our company.  


Administration.  Our Incentive Compensation Plan is to be administered by our Compensation Committee, provided, however, that except as otherwise expressly provided in the plan, the committee may delegate some or all of its power or authority to our President, Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer. Subject to the terms of our plan, the committee is authorized to construe and determine the stock option agreements, other agreements, awards and the plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the plan and awards, determine acceleration of vesting schedules or award payments and forfeitures, determine terms and provisions of stock options agreements (which need not be identical), grant awards for performance goals and option awards and stock appreciation rights based upon a vesting schedule  and correct defects, supply omissions or reconcile inconsistencies in the plan or any award thereunder, and make all other determinations as the committee may deem necessary or desirable for the administration and interpretation of our plan.


Eligibility.  The persons eligible to receive awards under our Incentive Compensation Plan are the employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of our company or any parent or subsidiary of our company and other persons who have made or are expected to make contributions to our company.  




37




Types of Awards.  Our Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, incentive stock options, restricted compensation shares, restricted compensation share units, stock appreciation rights (or SARs), performance shares, award shares and  other stock-based awards. Performance share awards entitle recipients to acquire shares of common stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals within a specified performance period, as determined by the committee.


Shares Available for Awards; Annual Per-Person Limitations.  Subject to certain recapitalization events described in our plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to our Incentive Compensation Plan at any time during the term of the plan is 5,000,000 shares. If any award expires, or is terminated, surrendered or forfeited, the common stock covered by such award will again be available for the grant of awards under our plan. No participant may be granted awards during a fiscal year to purchase more than 1,000,000 shares of common stock subject to recapitalization events.


Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.  The committee is authorized to grant stock options, including both incentive stock options (or ISOs), and non-qualified stock options, restricted compensation shares, restricted compensation share units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and award shares. The terms and conditions of awards under the plan including number of shares covered, exercise price per share and term are determined by the committee, but in the case of an ISO, the exercise price must not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. For purposes of our Incentive Compensation Plan, if at the time of a grant, our company’s common stock is publicly traded, the term “fair market value” means (i) if listed on an established stock exchange or national market system, the last reported sales price or the closing bid if no sales were reported on such exchange or system, or (ii) the average of the closing bid and asked prices last quoted by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities if the common stock is not reported on a national market system. In the absence of an established market for our common stock, the fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the committee. The number of shares covered by each option or stock appreciation right, the times at which each option or stock appreciation right will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options or stock appreciation rights at or following termination of employment generally are fixed by the committee, except that no option or stock appreciation right may have a term exceeding ten years. The committee also determines the terms and conditions of restricted compensation shares, restricted compensation share units, performance shares, award shares and other stock-based awards under our plan.


Restricted Compensation Shares and Restricted Compensation Share Units.  The committee is authorized to grant restricted compensation shares and restricted compensation shares units. An award of restricted compensation shares is a grant which entitles recipients to acquire shares of common stock subject to restrictions on transfer and which may be forfeited if all specified employment, vesting and/or performance conditions as determined by the committee are not met.  An award of restricted compensation share units confers upon a recipient the right to acquire, at some time in the future, restricted compensation shares, subject to forfeiture if all specified award conditions as determined by the committee are not met


Performance Shares and Award Shares.  The committee is authorized to grant awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of common stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals and grant awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of common stock subject to such terms, restrictions, conditions, performance criteria, vesting requirements and payment needs as determined by the committee, subject to such other terms as the committee may specify.


Other Stock-Based Awards.  The committee is authorized to grant other awards based upon the common stock having such terms and conditions as the committee may determine including, without limitation, the grant of securities convertible into common stock and the grant of phantom stock awards or stock units.


Performance Goals and Other Criteria.  The committee shall establish objective performance goals for participants or groups of participants for performance-based awards under the plan excluding options and stock appreciation rights.  With respect to participants who are “covered employees” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), an award other than an option or a stock appreciation right may be based only on performance factors that are compliant with applicable regulations.




38




Other Terms of Awards.   Options may be exercised by written notice of exercise to us by way of cashless exercise, settlement of which shall be made solely in cash. Unless otherwise determined by the committee, awards may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the life of the participant, may be exercisable only by the participant. However, except as the committee may otherwise determine, nonstatutory options and restricted compensation shares may be transferred pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined by ERISA) or pursuant to certain estate-planning vehicles. To the extent not inconsistent with the plan or applicable law, the committee may include additional provisions in awards such as, among other things, restrictions on transfer, commitments to pay cash bonuses and guaranty loans. The committee shall determine the effect on awards of disability, death, retirement, leave of absence or other change in participant status. We have the right to deduct applicable taxes from payments to award recipients. Participants have no right to continued employment or other relationship with us, and subject to award provisions, participants have no rights as shareholders of our company until becoming record shareholders.


Acceleration or Extension of Vesting; Change in Control. The committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the dates on which all or any particular option or award under the plan may be exercised and may extend the dates during which all or any particular option or award under the plan may be exercised or vest. In the case of a “change in control” of our company, as defined in our Incentive Compensation Plan, we will take one or a combination of  the following actions: (a) make appropriate provision for the continuation or assumption of the awards; (b) acceleration of exercise or vesting of the awards; (c) exchange of the awards for the right to participate in a benefit plan of a successor; (d) repurchase of awards; or (e) termination of awards immediately prior to a change in control.


Amendment and Termination. The board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our Incentive Compensation Plan provided, however, that no amendment may be made without stockholder approval if such approval is  necessary to comply with any applicable law, rules or regulations. Our plan became effective upon the date it was adopted by the committee and approved by our stockholders, and no awards may be granted under the plan after the completion of then years thereafter. Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.


We have made no awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.


CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


Since inception, the following transactions were entered into with our directors and officers.

  

On May 13, 2010, an aggregate of 14,112,250 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to three founders (Shawn P. Clark, Tysen J. Kamin and Dena Womack) in connection with the organization of the Company. The founding shareholders acquired their shares with the intent to hold the shares for investment purposes and not with a view to further resale or distribution, except as permitted under exemptions from registration requirements under applicable securities laws.


On November 29, 2010 Shawn P. Clark sold 705,612 shares of his common stock to Glenn Petersen, Dena Womack sold 705,613 shares of her common stock to Glenn Petersen and Tysen J.

The certificates issued to our founding shareholders and their transferees contain a restrictive legend with respect to the issuance of securities pursuant to exemptions from registration requirements and the restrictions upon transfer of the securities under the Securities Act.


On October 1, 2012 the Company entered into a lease for $5,000 per month with Bella Group Investments, an entity affiliated by common ownership with certain of the Company’s shareholders. The lease expired on August 31, 2011 and was not renewed. The office space is currently being provided to the Company rent free by Bella Group Investments.

The persons named above have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


We are not subject to the corporate governance rules of any securities exchange or securities association, because our securities are not traded on any exchange. We have no audit, nominating or compensation committees. As a small business, we do not have the resources to engage additional individuals to perform these functions. Our two directors perform these functions. When seeking nominees to serve as director, our directors will evaluate the candidacy of an individual based on his or her educational attainments, his or her relevant experience and professional stature. Our directors also perform the function of the audit committee by overseeing the quality and integrity of the financial reporting practices of the Company.



41




The Company currently has no operations. At this stage of its development, the Company does not, in the opinion of its officers and directors, require the engagement of additional directors because any oversight functions are minimal at this time. The Company will, in compliance with corporate governance standards, reassess the desirability of engaging an additional director to provide oversight functions if and when the Company has active operations.


Organization Within Last Five Years


We were organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 13, 2010. At that time we appointed Shawn P. Clark as director, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tysen J. Kamin as director, Vice President and COO and Dena M. Womack as Secretary/Treasurer.  In connection with our organization, we issued 14,112,250 shares of common stock in consideration for services provided by our founders.  


Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification

for Securities Act Liabilities


Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify any person who is a party to an action by reason of the fact that such person is a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Where You Can Find More Information


We have filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (including exhibits) under the Securities Act with respect to the shares to be sold in this Offering.  This Prospectus, which forms part of the Registration Statement, does not contain all the information set forth in the Registration Statement as some portions have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.  For further information with respect to our Company and the Shares offered in this Prospectus, reference is made to the Registration Statement, including the exhibits filed thereto, and the financial statements and notes filed as a part thereof.  With respect to each such document filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, reference is made to the exhibit for a more complete description of the matter involved.   We are not currently subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act.  As a result of the offering of the Shares of our common stock, we will become subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and, in accordance therewith, we will file quarterly and annual reports and other information with the SEC and send a copy of our annual report together with audited consolidated financial statements to each of our shareholders.  The Registration Statement, such reports and other information may be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Room of the SEC located at 100 F Street, N.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors of

Key Link Assets Corp.

(A Development Stage Company)

216 S. Jefferson St., Ste 101

Chicago, IL 60661


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Key Link Assets Corp., (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the period from inception (May 13, 2010) to December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


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


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Key Link Assets Corp., as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended and the period from inception (May 13, 2010) to December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2013 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2012 and 2011 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KEY LINK ASSETS CORP.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - Organization, business operations and going concern consideration


Key Link Assets Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 13, 2010 for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of heavily discounted real estate properties in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Company has changed its focus and now plans to acquire small and medium sized grocery stores in non-urban locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains.


The Company is a development stage company and is subject to the risks associated with development stage companies. As of the date of this report, the Company has not yet commenced operations. The Company's primary activities since incorporation have been organizational in nature and related to the Company’s formation and pending registration statement. The Company has not generated any revenues from these activities and, accordingly, it is in the development stage.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation


The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to development stage enterprises.


Fiscal year


The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds and certificates of term deposits with original maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.


Start-up Costs


In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 720, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities,” the Company has expensed all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.










NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments


The Company has adopted ASC 815, “Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  The carrying amount of accrued liabilities approximates its fair value because of the short maturity of this item.  Certain fair value estimates may be subject to and involve, uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.  The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments in the management of its foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.


Federal income taxes


Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. When it is not considered to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess. Although the Company has loss carry-forwards available to reduce future income for tax purposes, no amount has been reflected on the balance sheet for deferred income taxes as any deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.


Advertising Costs


The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.  The Company incurred no advertising expense from its period of inception on May 13, 2010 through December 31, 2012.


Earnings (loss) per share


The Company has adopted ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  There are no dilutive shares outstanding.


New accounting pronouncements


The Company has evaluated the most recent accounting standards through the date of these financial statements and in management’s opinion none of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.









NOTE 3 - CAPITAL STOCK


Authorized Stock


The Company has authorized 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 25,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per preferred share.  Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholder of the corporation is sought. The rights, preferences and restrictions of the preferred shares will be defined by the Company’s Board of Directors when and if the preferred shares are issued.


Share Issuances


On May 13, 2010, the Company issued 14,112,250 common shares valued at $.0001 each to the three founders of the Company as compensation for services rendered to the Company. The shares issued were accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock-Compensation, under the prospective method, which requires the Company to recognize expense for all share-based compensation awards granted to employees. Compensation expense is determined based on the grant date fair value of share-based compensation awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.


In the absence of any objective indicators of fair value of the shares we issued to our founders, or the services our founders provided in starting our company, the shares issued to them were valued at their par value, or $1,411. This expense was recognized at the date of issue.


On October 12, 2010, the Company sold 590,000 common shares to a group of 35 private investors at a price of $.10 per share.


NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $98,966, negative working capital of $38,555 and has earned no revenues since inception. The Company intends to fund its operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements.


The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and the implementation of its business plan. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES


Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising the net deferred tax amount is at December 31, 2012 and 2011 as follows:

As of December 31, 2012, for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes, the Company has approximately $99,000 of unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) available for carry forward to future years. The benefit from the carry forward of such NOLs will begin expiring during the year ended December 31, 2030. Because United States tax laws limit the time during which NOL carry forwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOLs for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carry forwards could be subject to limitations due to material ownership changes that could occur in the Company as it continues to raise additional capital. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOLs for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain and the Company has recorded valuation allowance of approximately $33,600 and $31,600 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


The difference between the statutory tax rate (34%) and the effective tax rate (0%) of the Company relates to the change in the valuation allowance for each respective period.


NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


On October 1, 2010, the Company entered into an eleven month lease for $5,000 per month with Bella Group Investments, an entity affiliated by common ownership with certain of the Company’s shareholders. The lease was not extended when it expired on August 31, 2011. Total net expense for year ended December 31, 2011 was $40,000.


During the fourth quarter of 2012, Shawn Clark, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, loaned the Company $4,030. The note payable, which is payable on December 21, 2013, is non-interest bearing and has no collateral.


NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On January 24, 2013, Shawn Clark, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, loaned the Company $3,000. The note payable, which is payable on December 21, 2013, is non-interest bearing and has no collateral.

KEY LINK ASSETS CORP.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION


Key Link Assets Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 13, 2010 for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of heavily discounted real estate properties in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Company has changed its focus and now plans to acquire small and medium sized grocery stores in non-urban locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains.


The Company is a development stage company and is subject to the risks associated with development stage companies. As of the date of this report, the Company has not yet commenced operations. The Company's primary activities since incorporation have been organizational in nature and related to the Company’s formation and pending registration statement. The Company has not generated any revenues from these activities and, accordingly, it is in the development stage.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $106,589, negative working capital of $799 and has earned no revenues since inception. The Company intends to fund its operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements.

 

The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and the implementation of its business plan. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.


NOTE 3 - NOTE PAYABLE OTHER


On September 29, 2013, a creditor of the Company converted accounts payable in the amount of $34,541 into a note payable. The note payable, which is due on June 30, 2015, is non-interest bearing and has no collateral.


NOTE 4 - CAPITAL STOCK


Authorized Stock


The Company has authorized 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 25,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per preferred share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholder of the corporation is sought. The rights, preferences and restrictions of the preferred shares will be defined by the Company’s Board of Directors when and if the preferred shares are issued.







Share Issuances


On May 13, 2010, the Company issued 14,112,250 common shares valued at $.0001 each to the three founders of the Company as compensation for services rendered to the Company. The shares issued were accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock-Compensation, under the prospective method, which requires the Company to recognize expense for all share-based compensation awards granted to employees. Compensation expense is determined based on the grant date fair value of share-based compensation awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

In the absence of any objective indicators of fair value of the shares we issued to our founders, or the services our founders provided in starting our company, the shares issued to them were valued at their par value, or $1,411. This expense was recognized at the date of issue.


On September 29, 2010, the Company sold 590,000 common shares to a group of 35 private investors at a price of $.10 per share.

Mr. Clark has loaned the Company $10,838. The notes payable, is due on June 30, 2015, is non-interest bearing and has no collateral.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is party to an action by reason of the fact that such person was a director or officer of the Company. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance to protect against any expense, liability or loss associated with such indemnity.

Item 17.  Undertakings


The undersigned registrant undertakes:


1.           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


(i)           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.


(ii)           To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and


(iii)           To include material information on the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.


2.           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


3.           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


4.           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, 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.

 

5.           For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:


(i)           we shall treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by us under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.  For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, we shall treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.







II-3




(ii)           we shall treat each prospectus filed by us pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) as part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement.  Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.  As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or


(iii)           we shall treat each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statement relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of  first use.
