- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 17. Our sole officer and director has limited experience in mergers and acquisitions, which makes our ability to complete a successful merger or acquisition more uncertain.
Although our President, Daniel Masters, has experience in business reorganizations, he has limited direct experience in negotiating mergers and acquisitions. This lack of experience makes our ability to complete a successful merger or acquisition more uncertain.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 20
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 113. If we do any business combination, each shareholder will most likely hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership in the Company.
If we enter a business combination with a private concern, that, in all likelihood, would result in the Company issuing securities to shareholders of any such private company. The issuance of our previously authorized and unissued stock would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by our present and prospective shareholders and may result in a change in our control or in our management.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 216. Our sole officer is also our principal shareholder and he will be able to approve all corporate actions without shareholder consent and will control our Company.
Our principal shareholder, Daniel Masters, currently owns approximately 66.8% of our Common Stock. Because of this, he will have the controlling vote in all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, but not requiring the approval of the minority shareholders. In addition, he is now the Company's President and sole officer and director. Because he is the majority shareholder, he will be able to elect all of the members of our board of directors, allowing him to exercise significant control of our affairs and management. In addition, he may transact corporate business requiring shareholder approval, including approval of the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating company, by written consent, without soliciting the votes of other shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 317. Our Common Stock may never be widely traded and holders may have little or no ability to sell their shares.
There is only a limited public trading market for our shares of Common Stock on the OTC ‘Pink' market under the trading symbol PWEB. There can be no assurance that a more active market for our Common Stock will be established or that, if established, a market will be sustained. Therefore, if you purchase our Common Stock you may be unable to sell the shares. Accordingly, you should be able to bear the financial risk of losing your entire investment. Only market makers can apply to quote securities. A market maker who desires to initiate quotations in the OTC market system must complete an application (Form 211) (unless an exemption is applicable) and by doing so, will have to represent that it has satisfied all applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-11 and the filing and information requirements promulgated under the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("Finra") Bylaws. The OTC Pink market will not charge us a fee for being quoted on the service. Finra rules prohibit market makers from accepting any remuneration in return for quoting issuers' securities on the OTC market or any similar medium. Finra will review the market maker's application (unless an exemption is applicable). If cleared, it cannot be assumed by any investor that any federal, state or self-regulatory requirements other than certain Finra rules and Rule 15c2-11 have been considered by Finra. Furthermore, the clearance should not be construed by any investor as indicating that Finra, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any state securities commission has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the documents contained in the submission. The OTC Pink market is a market maker or dealer-driven system offering quotation and trading reporting capabilities - a regulated quotation service - that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in OTC equity securities. The OTC Pink securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Pink securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting market makers or dealers in stocks.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 418. If our Common Stock does not meet blue sky resale requirements, certain shareholders may be unable to resell our Common Stock.
The resale of Common Stock must meet the blue sky resale requirements in the states in which the proposed purchasers reside. If we are unable to qualify the Common Stock and there is no exemption from qualification in certain states, the holders of the Common Stock or the purchasers of the Common Stock may be unable to sell them.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 519. Our shareholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our Common Stock due to state "blue sky" laws or if we are determined to be a "blank check" company.
Current shareholders, and persons who desire to purchase the Common Stock in any trading market that may develop in the future, should be aware that there might be significant state restrictions upon the ability of new investors to purchase the Common Stock. Blue sky laws, regulations, orders, or interpretations place limitations on offerings or sales of securities by "blank check" companies or in "blind-pool" offerings, or if such securities represent "cheap stock" previously issued to promoters or others. Our majority shareholder, because he received stock at a price of $.001 for each share, may be deemed to hold "cheap stock." These limitations typically provide, in the form of one or more of the following limitations, that such securities are: (a) Not eligible for sale under exemption provisions permitting sales without registration to accredited investors or qualified purchasers;(b) Not eligible for the transaction exemption from registration for non-issuer transactions by a registered broker-dealer;(c) Not eligible for registration under the simplified small corporate offering registration (SCOR) form available in many states;(d) Not eligible for the "solicitations of interest" exception to securities registration requirements available in many states;(e) Not permitted to be registered or exempted from registration, and thus not permitted to be sold in the state under any circumstances. Virtually all 50 states have adopted one or more of these limitations, or other limitations or restrictions affecting the sale or resale of stock of blank check companies or securities sold in "blind pool" offerings or "cheap stock" issued to promoters or others. Specific limitations on such offerings have been adopted in: Alaska Nevada Tennessee Arkansas New Mexico Texas California Ohio Utah Delaware Oklahoma Vermont Florida Oregon Washington Georgia Pennsylvania Idaho Rhode Island Indiana South Carolina Nebraska South Dakota Any secondary trading market which may develop, may only be conducted in those jurisdictions where an applicable exemption is available or where the shares have been registered.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 620. Our Common Stock will be subject to significant restriction on resale due to federal penny stock restrictions.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker or dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system). The penny stock rules require a broker or dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker or dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker or dealer, and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The penny stock rules also require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker or dealer must make a special written determination that a penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market for our stock, and accordingly, shareholders of our Common Stock will find it difficult to sell their securities, if at all.
