  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

    As of June 30, 2020, we had no cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $276,236. Our audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2020, were prepared using the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operations are dependent on our ability to raise sufficient capital or complete business combination as a result of which we become profitable. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There is not enough cash on hand to fund our administrative expenses and operating expenses for the next twelve months. Therefore, we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company's shares of common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The Company's shares of common stock are traded from time to time on the OTC Pink Sheet Market.

    Our common stock trades from time to time on the OTC Pink Sheet Market. As a result, there is only limited liquidity in our common stock. We plan to seek quotation of our common stock on the OTCQB Market. Quotation of the Company's securities on the OTCQB market limits the liquidity and price of the Company's common stock more than if the Company's shares of common stock were listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange. In order for our common stock to become subject to quotation on the OTCQB Market, we must obtain a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on our behalf pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act. If we fail to continue to comply with the listing requirements of the OTCQB Market, the price of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue to satisfy the requirements of the OTCQB Markets' for continued quotation. There can be no assurance that there will be a liquid trading market for the Company's common stock following a business combination. In the event that a liquid trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of the Company's shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our common stock is subject to the Penny Stock Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our common stock is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 require: - that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and - the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: - obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and - make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: - sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and - that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

    State blue sky registration; potential limitations on resale of the Company's common stock

    The holders of the Company's shares of common stock registered under the Exchange Act and those persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that may develop in the future, should be aware that there may be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell the Company's securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Registrant's securities to be a limited one. It is the intention of the Registrant's Management following the consummation of a business combination to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the Registrant in an accepted publication manual which permits a manual exemption. The manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the Registrant issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer's balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non-issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities. Most of the accepted manuals are those published by Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, Fitch's Investment Service, and Best's Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they "recognize securities manuals" but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.

    The Company may be deemed to have no "Independent Director", actions taken and expenses incurred by our officer and director on behalf of the Company will generally not be subject to "Independent Review".

    Our director owns shares of our common stock and, although no compensation will be paid to him for services rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination, he may receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in connection with activities on the Company's behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of director, which consist of one director who may seek reimbursement. If our director will not be deemed "independent," he will generally not have the benefit of independent director examining the propriety of expenses incurred on our behalf and subject to reimbursement. Although the Company believes that all actions taken by our director on the Company's behalf will be in the Company's best interests, the Company cannot assure the investor that this will actually be the case. If actions are taken, or expenses are incurred that are actually not in the Company's best interests, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and plan of operation and the price of our stock held by the public stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Possible Issuance of Additional Securities.

    Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 74,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001. As of June 30, 2020, we had 23,811,750 shares issued and outstanding. We may be expected to issue additional shares in connection with our pursuit of new business opportunities and new business operations. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests. If we issue shares of common stock in connection with our intent to pursue new business opportunities, a change in control of the Registrant may be expected to occur. The issuance of additional shares of common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, in the event that an active trading market commences.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
