Item 9: RISK FACTORS
9.1 Describe in order of importance, starting with the most important, the risk factors material to the issuer that a reasonable investor would consider important in deciding whether to buy the issuer's securities.
Investment in the Special Warrants is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Issuer's business and its present stage of development. The following are risk factors associated with the Issuer, but are not intended to be all inclusive:
- (a) The Issuer was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations, and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings and will not generate earnings or pay dividends in the near future.
- (b) Investment in the Special Warrants is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Issuer's business and its present stage of development.
- (c) The directors and officers of the Issuer will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Issuer and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time.
- (d) There can be no assurance that the Issuer will be successful in filing a prospectus, in which case the Special Warrants will have no economic value. The Special Warrants are subject to an indefinite hold period and the investor may have no ability to sell its Special Warrants.
- (e) If the Special Warrants are converted to common shares, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Issuer's common shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its common shares.
- (f) Any transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Issuer and this may result in dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Issuer.
As a result of these factors, an investment in the Special Warrants is only suitable for those investors who are willing to rely solely on the management of the Issuer and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Special Warrants.
9.2 If the securities being distributed are to pay interest, dividends or distributions and the issuer doesnot have the financial resources to make such payments, (other than from the sale of securities) state in bold type:
We do not currently have the financial resources to pay interest, dividends or distributions to investors. There is no assurance that we will ever have the financial resources to do so.
Item 10: REPORTING OBLIGATIONS
10.1 Describe the nature and frequency of any disclosure of information the issuer intends to provide to purchasers after the closing of the distribution and explain how purchasers can access this information.
The Issuer does not anticipate providing purchasers with any additional disclosure, except as may be required under applicable laws.
10.2 If the issuer is required by corporate legislation, its constating documents (e.g., articles of incorporation or by-laws) or otherwise to provide annual financial statements or an information circular/proxy statements to its security holders, state that fact.
As a company formed under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Act"), unless relieved under section 200 of the Act from their obligation to do so, the directors of the Company must, on or before each annual reference date, produce and publish financial statements in respect of the latest completed financial year of the Company.
A British Columbia company must also, subject to subsections 182(2) to (5) of the Act, which allows shareholders to pass consent resolutions in lieu of and defer the holding of a company's annual general meeting, hold an annual general meeting:
(a) for the first time, no more than 18 months after the date on which it was recognized; and
(b) after its first annual reference date, at least once in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the annual reference date for the preceding calendar year (s. 182(1)).
The holding of an annual general meeting sets the "annual reference date" for that annual reference period. The next day is the first day of the next annual reference period for the company.
10.3 If the issuer is aware, after making reasonable inquiries, of any existing voting trust agreement among certain shareholders of the issuer, provide the information:
(a) the number of shareholders party to the agreement;
N/A
(b) the percentage of voting shares of the issuer subject to the agreement;
N/A
(c) the name of the person acting as a trustee;
N/A
(d) whether the trustee has been granted any additional powers;
