(1) This Registration Statement covers the resale by our selling shareholders of up to 533,000 shares of common stock previously issued to such selling shareholders.

 

(2) The offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(o). Our common stock is not traded on any national exchange and in accordance with Rule 457; the offering price was determined by the price of the shares that were sold to our shareholders in a private placement memorandum. The price of $0.10 is a fixed price at which the selling security holders may sell their shares for the duration of the offering.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock.  You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including “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, the terms “ABV Consulting” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to ABV Consulting, Inc.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated on October 15, 2013 under the laws of the state of Nevada. We are in the business of providing merchandising and consulting services to Craft beer brewers and distributors, as well as providing additional marketing support within the craft beer industry to retailers and other organizations as needed. While we do not directly produce alcoholic beverages, we provide services to help businesses in the industry improve their marketing, sales and operations. The company was founded by Andrew Gavrin, a seasoned businessman who has worked in the alcoholic beverage field for the past 5 years after working as a strategy consultant for consumer product and other companies. Mr. Gavrin recognized the need for an independent third party company that could help Craft brewers and distributors create and implement marketing, promotional and merchandising plans while working in the industry following 3 years as a strategy consultant. His experience of developing strategies and watching a sales force and distributor implement them with limited success due to competing priorities led him to launch the Company. Mr. Gavrin began working on our business model in the summer of 2013 and formed the Company in October 2013.

 

Alcoholic beverages are sold in the on-premise class of trade (bars, restaurants, taverns, and similar businesses where drinkers consume the alcohol immediately at the location) and the off-premise class of trade (grocery stores, convenience stores, liquor stores, package stores and other retail locations where drinkers purchase their alcohol to consume later outside of the property of the store). The three-tier alcohol beverage system in the United States mandates that - with some minor exceptions - alcohol beverage manufacturers such as breweries and wineries must sell their product through a distributor, who in turn sells it to the retailer. Manufacturers and distributors together market the brand in order to sell it to consumers. Both tiers, manufacturers and distributors, have sales forces that have numerous priorities that include executing promotions for the brand in the on-premise class of trade, holding sampling events (where legal) in both on-premise and off-premise locations and building displays of the product in the off-premise class of trade. Due to limited resources and competing priorities, these sales forces are not as effective as they can be, and therefore would benefit from an outside party that could assist in developing and executing these strategies.

 

Based on the experience of Mr. Gavrin, who developed such strategies and the implementation plan for the country's largest craft brewer, we will develop and execute the following marketing techniques for alcohol beverage manufacturers and distributors:

· Providing general branding support, including marketing research, naming, and graphic design help
· Building and merchandising displays of product in the off-premise class of trade
· Executing sampling promotions, where legal, in the on-premise and off-premise class of trade
· Developing and/or executing promotions in the on-premise class of trade
· Manning sampling booths at local beer festivals
· Development and/or execution of other sales and marketing strategies

 

Additionally, we will provide services for retailers and other organizations using craft beer, including but not limited to:

· Organizing, promoting and managing beer festivals
· Improving merchandising and promoting and executing sampling efforts in order to drive more customers into the store and increase basket ring

 

In June 2014, we completed a Regulation D Rule 506 offering in which we sold 533,000 shares of common stock to 34 investors, at a price per share of $0.10 per share for an aggregate offering price of $53,300.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

  A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related MD&A;

 

  Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

 

  Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and

 

  No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

 

We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided above and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

RISK FACTORS

 

The Securities offered hereby are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider, along with other matters referred to herein, the following risk factors in evaluating our business before purchasing any Units. This Memorandum contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the following risk factors and elsewhere in this Memorandum.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Limited Operating History

 

The Company was formed on October 15, 2013. Prior to that time, the Company had no operations upon which an evaluation of the Company and its prospects could be based. There can be no assurance that management of the Company will be successful in completing the Company's business development with breweries, distributors and retailers, implementing the corporate infrastructure to support operations at the levels called for by the Company's business plan, devise a marketing plan to successfully reach the companies in this field or that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet its expenses or to achieve or maintain profitability.

 

Need for Financing

 

We largely depend on additional capital to implement our business plan and support our operations. Currently, we have no established bank-financing arrangements. Therefore, it is likely we would need to seek additional financing through future private offering of our equity securities, or through strategic partnerships and other arrangements with corporate partners. We have no current plans for additional financing.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The occurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.

 

If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we are required to reduce the scope of our business development activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you will lose all your investment.

 

Adverse Effect to Your Interest upon Additional Financing

 

If we raise additional capital subsequent to this Offering through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution.  In addition, we may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense.  

 

Significant Adverse Impact to our Capital Reserve of any Liable Uninsured Claim

 

We do not have any insurance to cover potential risks and liabilities, including, but not limited to, injuries or economic losses arising out of or relating to our omission or errors in providing our services. Even if we decide to obtain insurance coverage in the future, it is possible that: (1) we may not be able to get enough insurance to meet our needs; (2) we may have to pay very high premiums for the additional coverage; (3) we may not be able to acquire any insurance for certain types of business risk; or (4) we may have gaps in coverage for certain risks. We may be exposed to potential uninsured claims for which we could have to expend significant amounts of capital. Consequently, if we were found liable for a significant uninsured claim in the future, we may be forced to expend a significant amount of our capital to resolve the uninsured claim.

 

Dependence on Key Personnel

 

The Company will be dependent on its key executive, President and sole Director, Andrew Gavrin, for the foreseeable future. The loss of the services from Andrew Gavrin could have a material adverse effect on the operations and prospects of the Company. He is expected to handle all marketing and sales efforts and manage the operations. His responsibilities include developing business arrangements with breweries, wineries, distributors and retailers, and formulating marketing materials to be used during his presentations and meetings. Another seasoned business manager with an interest in the alcoholic beverage industry would be needed to run the Company if Andrew Gavrin was no longer available. At this time, the Company does not have an employment agreement with Mr. Gavrin, though the Company may enter into such an agreement with its President on terms and conditions usual and customary for its industry. The Company does not currently have "key man" life insurance on Mr. Gavrin.

Competition

 

There are numerous established companies that offer some combination of marketing, promotional and merchandising services to companies in the alcoholic beverage industry. In addition, there are a number of large and well-established general marketing agencies that provide strategy and implementation services to the industry as well as a number of other industries. We are a new entry into this competitive market and may struggle to differentiate ourselves as a specialist that provides more value for breweries, distributors and retailers.

 

Identifying the Payor in the Three-Tiered Alcoholic Beverage Industry

 

Unlike other consumer product companies, brewers and other alcoholic beverage producers are generally not allowed, by law, to sell product directly to retailers or consumers. Instead, they form relationships with distributors, who own an interest in the brand. The distributor then sells the product to the retailer, who sells it to the end user. Each manufacturer has a unique arrangement with the distributor in terms of splitting responsibilities for marketing, promoting and merchandising the product. As a result, it is unclear which of these entities will be willing to procure services from the Company, and the willingness to do so will differ on a case-by-case basis, depending on the relationship and division of responsibilities between the manufacturer and the distributor.

 

Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

 

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the State of Nevada or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Nevada law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a director’s liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.

 

State Laws Affect What Potential Clients Can and Cannot Pay For

 

Each state has its own liquor control board and set of laws and regulations governing alcoholic beverage practice within their borders. Depending on the state(s) for which the Company is engaged, the payor, engagement structure, limitations on activities and strategy will differ. The Company may have to spend additional resources on legal advice as it expands to ensure that the business practices are staying within the scope of what is allowed in each state where the Company is operating. Additionally, some profitable engagements may have to be passed upon based on the legal requirements of the state.

 

Potential Clients May Not Have the Funds or Need to Outsource This Work

 

Some of the larger Craft brewers and distributors have the resources to handle the strategy and implementation of these services in-house. The vast majority of the country's Craft brewers, however, are small and extremely limited in available resources. While these brewers do not have the expertise to differentiate themselves from their competition, they may not have the resources required to engage us either to help them develop their strategy or to implement promotions and or merchandising.

 

Craft Beer Growth May Slow

 

Craft beer has been growing significantly in the past few years, from 1,970 operating Craft breweries in 2011 to 2,483 operating in 2013. Additionally, for four years in a row, Craft beer has seen double digit growth in sales, per the Brewer's Association. This growth in breweries and sales may not continue, thereby reducing the ability and willingness of breweries to pay for the services that we are providing.

 

Company May Rely on Independent Contractors to Implement Solutions

 

In order to implement promotions and merchandising to clients at a scale commensurate with the business plan, the Company may be required to engage, at least initially, a number of independent contractors who will need to be trained and actively managed to ensure that their work meets the standard of the Company. Finding, engaging, contracting and maintaining a set of independent contractors who can do this work could cause delays, unplanned expenses and other adverse results for the Company.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

Restricted Securities; Limited Transferability

 

The securities should be considered a long-term, illiquid investment. Our securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, and cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act or any exemption from registration. In addition, the Securities are not registered under any state securities laws that would permit their transfer. Because of these restrictions and the absence of an active trading market for our securities, a stockholder will likely be unable to liquidate an investment even though other personal financial circumstances would dictate such liquidation.

 

No Public Trading Market

 

There is no established public trading marketing for our common stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they to sell securities held by them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

 

Not Likely to Pay Dividends

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

 

May Be Subject Now and In the Future to the SEC’s “Penny Stock” Rules

 

We may be subject now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this report, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this report, includes some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our and their management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the following forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties’ control) or other assumptions.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling security holders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the selling security holders as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holders” and “Plan of Distribution.”  We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the selling security holders.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of common stock was determined by the price of the common stock that was sold to our security holders pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

The offering price of the shares of our common stock 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 listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.

 

In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial 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 stockholders provide in the “Selling Security Holders” section is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

There is presently no public market for our shares of common stock. We anticipate applying for quoting of our common stock on the OTCBB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms apart. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares of common stock will be quoted on the OTCBB or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

 

Holders of Capital Stock

 

As of the date of this registration statement, we had 34 holders of our common stock.

 

Stock Option Grants

 

We do not have a stock option plan in place and have not granted any stock options at this time.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

 

The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

 

Business Overview

 

We are currently a development stage company. We have not formed any material relationship or entered into any agreement with brewer, distributor, wholesaler or retailer. Since inception, our operations have primarily been limited to forming the Company and raising capital resources. We have taken on a couple of projects without compensation in order to prove our concept.

 

We managed a not-for-profit charitable beer festival in February 2014 to raise funds for a private school in Pennsylvania. While not compensated for our efforts, we undertook the project as a test case in order to prove our concept and the need for the type of work that we will be doing. The event was widely hailed as a success, as it raised over $7,000 for the school, saw participation from over 5 craft brewers and 2 distributors and was attended by over 100 people. For our company, it opened the door to us running such festivals in the future. It provided lessons learned, gave us a template for running such an event, and created contacts with local breweries, distributors, retailers and others.

 

We have also consulted to a start up alcoholic cider company, which was looking to create a brand from scratch. We provided support in marketing research, graphic design, promotional planning and providing a path forward, as well as supporting general business efforts. The cider company is still in its early development phases and continues to build toward production.

 

We have not generated any revenues to date. We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. Our cash at hand is limited to the investments we raised during our initial round of financing as well as an initial contribution from our Director, less our expenses to date.

 

In June 2014, we completed a Regulation D Rule 506 offering in which we sold 533,000 shares of common stock to 34 investors, at a price per share of $0.10 per share for an aggregate offering price of $53,300.

 

Plan of Operations

 

In the three month period starting upon the effective date of this registration statement, we intend to create an online presence in order to drive awareness of the company. This is expected to include developing a website, creating a blog focused on marketing within the alcoholic beverage industry, and building a presence through social media.

 

Once we have built a presence for the company, we intend to actively market our services and begin to form material relationships and enter into agreements with breweries, distributors and retailers over the remaining twelve month period starting upon the effective date of this registration statement. We will need additional capital raised from such agreements in order to develop a scalable product that can be sold on a larger-scale basis at a strong return for the company.

If we are unable to build our customer base or gain any clients, we will be forced to cease our development and/or marketing operations until we raise money. Attempting to raise capital after failing in any phase of our development plan could be difficult. As such, if we cannot secure additional proceeds, we will have to cease operations and investors would lose their entire investment. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. However, we intend to raise additional capital through private placements once we gain a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, for which there is no assurance. If we need additional cash but are unable to raise it, we will either suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

 

The presentation 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include the valuation of website costs, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation and any beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.

 

Development Stage Company

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.

 

Fair value measurements and Fair value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

 

Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet date.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes sales of deals and texts when revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of keywords over the period the keywords are purchased for exclusive use, usually one year.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from setup fees in accordance with Topic 13, which requires the fees to be deferred and amortized over the term of the agreements. Revenue from the sale of bulk text messages sales are recognized at the time messages are delivered. Revenue from monthly membership fees are recorded during the month the membership is earned.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Results of Operations

 

For the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2014

 

We had not generated any revenue for 6 months ended. We incurred operating expenses of $2,635 and $4,135 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. We had a net loss of $2,635 and $4,135 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. For the period ending June 30, 2014, we had a net loss of $4,135.

 

For the period from October 15, 2013 (Inception) to December 31, 2013

 

We had not generated any revenue since inception. We incurred operating expenses of $10,814 for the period from October 15, 2013 (inception) to December 31, 2013. We had a net loss of $10,814 for the period from October 15, 2013 (inception) to December 31, 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have been funding our operations through the sale of our common stock.

 

Our primary uses of cash have been for legal, accounting and audit fees. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity in the near term:

 

  ¨ Development of a Company website
  ¨ Exploration of potential marketing and advertising opportunities, and
  ¨ The cost of being a public company

 

Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of $54,525 and $5,000. Since inception, we raised $53,300 from the sale of common stock to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We may be required to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations.   We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. Other than working capital, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We may need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2014.  Therefore our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing.  Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

 

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,949, and used cash in operations of $14,589. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We do not have any contractual obligations at this time.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated on October 15, 2013 under the laws of the state of Nevada. We are in the business of providing merchandising and consulting services to Craft beer brewers and distributors, as well as providing additional marketing support within the craft beer industry to retailers and other organizations as needed. While we do not directly produce alcoholic beverages, we provide services to help businesses in the industry improve their marketing, sales and operations. The company was founded by Andrew Gavrin, a seasoned businessman who has worked in the alcoholic beverage field for the past 5 years after working as a strategy consultant for consumer product and other companies. Mr. Gavrin recognized the need for an independent third party company that could help Craft brewers and distributors create and implement marketing, promotional and merchandising plans while working in the industry following 3 years as a strategy consultant. His experience of developing strategies and watching a sales force and distributor implement them with limited success due to competing priorities led him to launch the Company. Mr. Gavrin began working on our business model in the summer of 2013 and formed the Company in October 2013.

 

Alcoholic beverages are sold in the on-premise class of trade (bars, restaurants, taverns, and similar businesses where drinkers consume the alcohol immediately at the location) and the off-premise class of trade (grocery stores, convenience stores, liquor stores, package stores and other retail locations where drinkers purchase their alcohol to consume later outside of the property of the store). The three-tier alcohol beverage system in the United States mandates that - with some minor exceptions - alcohol beverage manufacturers such as breweries and wineries must sell their product through a distributor, who in turn sells it to the retailer. Manufacturers and distributors together market the brand in order to sell it to consumers. Both tiers, manufacturers and distributors, have sales forces that have numerous priorities that include executing promotions for the brand in the on-premise class of trade, holding sampling events (where legal) in both on-premise and off-premise locations and building displays of the product in the off-premise class of trade. Due to limited resources and competing priorities, these sales forces are not as effective as they can be, and therefore would benefit from an outside party that could assist in developing and executing these strategies.

 

Based on the experience of Mr. Gavrin, who developed such strategies and the implementation plan for the country's largest craft brewer, we will develop and execute the following marketing techniques for alcohol beverage manufacturers and distributors:

· Providing general branding support, including marketing research, naming, and graphic design help
· Building and merchandising displays of product in the off-premise class of trade
· Executing sampling promotions, where legal, in the on-premise and off-premise class of trade
· Developing and/or executing promotions in the on-premise class of trade
· Manning sampling booths at local beer festivals
· Development and/or execution of other sales and marketing strategies

 

Additionally, we will provide services for retailers and other organizations using craft beer, including but not limited to:

· Organizing, promoting and managing beer festivals
· Improving merchandising and promoting and executing sampling efforts in order to drive more customers into the store and increase basket ring

 

In June 2014, we completed a Regulation D Rule 506 offering in which we sold 533,000 shares of common stock to 34 investors, at a price per share of $0.10 per share for an aggregate offering price of $53,300.

 

Target Market

 

The target market consists of America's 2,500 Craft breweries (as defined by the Brewers Association) and hundreds of beer distributors, who are in a fast-growing, but ultra-competitive segment of the alcoholic beverage industry. With a handful of exceptions, the breweries do not have the resources to execute standard and innovative marketing strategies in-house. The distributors, which manage multiple brands typically do not have the time to execute promotions or build world-class displays for these Craft breweries. Secondary targets include retailers and organizations that can derive value from our promotional support and expertise within the craft brewing industry.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

At this early stage of our operation, our President and sole Director is expected to handle all marketing and sales efforts. His responsibilities include developing business arrangements with brewers and distributors, directing the development of the company website and other online communication tools, and formulating marketing materials to be used during his presentations and meetings.

 

12
 

 

We plan to enter the market by developing relationships initially with breweries and distributors. We plan to develop an informational website that promotes our services and provides a contact function that allows prospects to contact us for additional information. We may also develop other online entities to communicate the value we can add, including a presence on Facebook, a Twitter handle and an online blog.

 

We plan to advertise in industry-specific journals. In order to prove the value-add that we will provide, we will build displays and execute promotions for retailers, with expenses coming out of our own pocket with the expectation that retailers will then request that distributors and breweries utilize our services.

 

Competition

 

The primary source of competition will come from the manufacturers and distributors directly. Those that have the resources and inclination to handle these tasks in-house will not need our services. Developing and executing such promotions and other marketing techniques is typically one of their responsibilities. However, because many do not have the time, money or people to do so, they use outside companies such as:

 

· Large National and local marketing agencies, such as Digitas (http://digitas.com), Interpublic (http://intercomagency) and Omnicom (http://omnicomgroup.com)
· Alcoholic beverage sampling companies, such as HausPromotions (http://hauspromotions.com) and CEA (http://classieentertainmentagency.com)
· Local merchandising companies

 

The large marketing agencies do not have an expertise in Craft beer, and are often too expensive for much of our target market to engage. While the sampling companies do have expertise in the alcoholic beverage industry, they are geared primarily towards the mass brewers - Anheuser Busch, Miller, Coors, Crown Imports and Heineken - and other image-driven wine and spirits companies. As a result, they do not generally have expertise in the education needed to effectively promote Craft beers. Local merchandising companies are too small to identify and are not widely spread throughout all of the major markets. In between these competitors, there is a niche area that we plan to fill.

 

Services Pricing

 

The cost for consulting projects will depend on the scope of the project and time required to execute it. We plan to charge a flat fee, as oppose to an hourly rate, in order to provide our clients with cost-certainty. Additionally, expenses incurred, including travel, will be passed through to the client.

 

For promotion, sample and merchandising implementation services, we project the cost to range from $25-$100 per event, based on the complexity, time involved and number of total events being executed as part of the engagement. The cost of other activities could be based on the increase of revenue - for example, managing a beer festival would be charged as a percentage of the ticket sales - or an hourly rate, based upon the complexity of the work required.

 

Employees and Independent Contractors

 

We presently have no employees apart from our sole Officer and Director. Our sole Officer and Director devotes between 10 and 20 hours per week to our affairs.

 

Over time, we may be required to hire employees or engage independent contractors in order to execute our promotion and merchandising projects. These decisions will be made by our Officer and Director if and when appropriate.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

The Company's principal executive office and mailing address is 306 Clairemont Road, Villanova, PA 19085. Our telephone number is 215-432-5553. There is no lease on the premises the Company is occupying and the Company is not responsible for paying rent. As we are not generating sufficient revenue at this time to justify a separate corporate office, the principal executive office is also the personal residence of our president and sole director, Andrew Gavrin. Once our business grows and generates revenue, we will look for more office space in a separate corporate office.

  

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.10 per share for the duration of the offering. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by selling security holder must be made at the fixed price of $0.10 for the duration of the offering. 

 

Once a market has developed for our common stock, 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. 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. None of the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.

 

We will advise the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling security holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling security holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

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. 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 $15,000.

 

Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds of the offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

 

General

 

Our authorized share capital consists of $100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.  As of the date hereof, 5,533,000 shares of our common stock and no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Each share of our common stock entitles its holder to one vote in the election of each director and on all other matters voted on generally by our stockholders, other than any matter that (1) solely relates to the terms of any outstanding series of preferred stock or the number of shares of that series and (2) does not affect the number of authorized shares of preferred stock or the powers, privileges and rights pertaining to the common stock. No share of our common stock affords any cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all directors to be elected if they choose to do so.

 

Holders of our common stock will be entitled to dividends in such amounts and at such times as our Board of Directors in its discretion may declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We currently intend to retain our entire available discretionary cash flow to finance the growth, development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

 

If we liquidate or dissolve our business, the holders of our common stock will share ratably in all our assets that are available for distribution to our stockholders after our creditors are paid in full and the holders of all series of our outstanding preferred stock, if any, receive their liquidation preferences in full.

 

Our common stock has no preemptive rights and is not convertible or redeemable or entitled to the benefits of any sinking or repurchase fund.

 

Preferred Stock

 

At the direction of our Board of Directors, without any action by the holders of our common stock, we may issue one or more series of preferred stock from time to time. Our Board of Directors can determine the number of shares of each series of preferred stock, the designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions applicable to any of those rights, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, of each series.

 

Undesignated preferred stock may enable our Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. For example, any preferred stock issued may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. As a result, the issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, may discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal or bids for our common stock or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock or any existing preferred stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to our 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, our 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 and Registrar

 

Currently we do not have a stock transfer agent. However, upon filing this Registration Statement, we do intend to engage a transfer agent to issue physical certificates to our shareholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

 

(A)

Organization

 

ABV Consulting. (“The Company”) was originally organized in the State of Nevada on October 15, 2013. The Company is a development stage company that performs consulting services provides merchandising and consulting services to Craft beer brewers and distributors, as well as providing additional marketing support within the craft beer industry to retailers and other organizations as needed. While The Company does not directly produce alcoholic beverages, it provides services to help businesses in the industry improve their marketing, sales and operations.

 

(B)

Going Concern

 

As of 6-30-14, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,949, and used cash in operations of $14,589 from inception. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(A)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers investments that have original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

(B)

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

 

The presentation 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include the valuation of website costs, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation and any beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.

 

(C)

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. The interim results for the period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. It is management’s opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation

 

23
 

 

(D )

Fair value measurements and Fair value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

(E)

Property and Equipment and Website Costs

 

Computer Equipment and Website Costs are capitalized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three years for all categories. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of computer equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts upon retirement or disposal with any resulting gain or loss being recorded in operations.

 

Software maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for enhanced functionality are capitalized.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 350-50-15, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs.” Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be three years.

 

    Depreciation/  
    Amortization  
Asset Category   Period  
Furniture and Fixture   5 Years
Computer equipment   3 Years
     

 

(F)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

  

(G)

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

  

The Company recognizes sales of deals and texts when revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of keywords over the period the keywords are purchased for exclusive use, usually one year.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from setup fees in accordance with Topic 13, which requires the fees to be deferred and amortized over the term of the agreements. Revenue from the sale of bulk text messages sales are recognized at the time messages are delivered. Revenue from monthly membership fees are recorded during the month the membership is earned.

 

24
 

 

(H)

Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

 

(I)

Loss Per Share

 

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 has company has no dilutive securities.

  

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, "Development Stage Entities". The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2014-10. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company. The company elected early adoption of ASU 2014-10.

 

No other accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including the Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC, did not or are not believed by the Company management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.  

  

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of blank shares of common par value $0.0001

 

In November 2013, the Company sold 5,000,000 shares to the Company’s founder for proceeds of $15,000 ($.003 per share).

 

In December 2013 the Company’s founder paid $814 on behalf of the Company. The amount was recorded as a contribution of capital.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company completed the private placement of 533,000 shares of common stock for proceed of $53,300 ($.10 per share). The Company incurred filing fees of $814.

 

NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

To the Board of Directors

ABV Consulting, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ABV Consulting, Inc. from inception (October 15, 2013) to December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the period ending December 31, 2013. 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 audit.

 

We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 audit provides 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 ABV Consulting, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations since inception and had negative working capital as of December 31, 2013, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The presentation 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include the valuation of website costs, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation and any beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.

 

(C)  

Fair value measurements and Fair value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

31
 

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

(D)

Property and Equipment and Website Costs

 

Computer Equipment and Website Costs are capitalized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three years for all categories. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of computer equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts upon retirement or disposal with any resulting gain or loss being recorded in operations.

 

Software maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for enhanced functionality are capitalized.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 350-50-15, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs.” Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be three years.

 

    Depreciation/  
    Amortization  
Asset Category   Period  
Furniture and Fixture   5 Years
Computer equipment   3 Years

 

(E)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

 

(F)

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, 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. 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company’s income tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for federal income tax purpose by applying the Federal & State blended rate of 37.63% as follows:

 

    December 31, 2013  
       
Expected income tax (benefit) expense at the statutory rate of 37.63%   $ (3,785)  
Tax effect of expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes      
Change in valuation allowance     ___  
       
Provision for income taxes   $ 3,785  
       
The components of deferred income taxes are as follows:      
    December 31, 2013  
       
Deferred income tax asset:   $ 3,785  
Net operating loss carryforwards      
Valuation allowance     (3,785 )
Deferred income taxes   $ -  

  

  As of December 31, 2013, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $10,814 available to offset future taxable income through 2034.  This results in deferred tax assets of approximately $3,785 as of December 31, 2013.

(G)

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes sales of deals and texts when revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of keywords over the period the keywords are purchased for exclusive use, usually one year.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from setup fees in accordance with Topic 13, which requires the fees to be deferred and amortized over the term of the agreements. Revenue from the sale of bulk text messages sales are recognized at the time messages are delivered. Revenue from monthly membership fees are recorded during the month the membership is earned.

 

(H)

Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

 

(I)

Loss Per Share

 

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. As of December 31, 2013 has company has no dilutive securities.

 

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, "Development Stage Entities". The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2014-10. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company. The company elected early adoption of ASU 2014-10.

 

No other accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including the Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC, did not or are not believed by the Company management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby 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 set forth 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii.  To include any material information with respect to 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 of 1933, 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 shall be deemed 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 of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements 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.

ARTICLE I

 

STOCKHOLDERS

 

1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK . Certificates representing stock in the corporation shall be signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or by the Chief Executive Officer or a Vice-Chief Executive Officer and by the Chief Financial Officer or an Assistant Financial Officer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation. Any or all the signatures on any such certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

 

Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, and whenever the corporation shall issue any shares of its stock as partly paid stock, the certificates representing shares of any such class or series or of any such partly paid stock shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Any restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of any shares of stock of any class or series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares.

 

The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of the lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

 

2. UNCERTIFICATED SHARES . Subject to any conditions imposed by the General Corporation Law, the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the stock of the corporation shall be uncertificated shares. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of any uncertificated shares, the corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice prescribed by the General Corporation Law.

 

 
 

 

3. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS . The corporation may, but shall not be required to, issue fractions of a share. If the corporation does not issue fractions of a share, it shall (1) arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto, (2) pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or (3) issue scrip or warrants in registered form (either represented by a certificate or uncertificated) or bearer form (represented by a certificate) which shall entitle the holder to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. A certificate for a fractional share or an uncertificated fractional share shall, but scrip or warrants shall not unless otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon, and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of Directors may cause scrip or warrants to be issued subject to the conditions that they shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing the full shares or uncertificated full shares before a specified date, or subject to the conditions that the shares for which scrip or warrants are exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of scrip or warrants, or subject to any other conditions which the Board of Directors may impose.

 

4. STOCK TRANSFERS . Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by the registered holder's attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any, and, in the case of shares represented by certificates, on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon.

 

5. RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS . In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

 
 

 

6. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS . As used herein in respect of the right to notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to consent or dissent in writing in lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share of stock" or "shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding share or shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares of stock, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the certificate of incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares of stock or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the certificate of incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of which are limited or denied such rights thereunder; provided, however, that no such right shall vest in the event of an increase or a decrease in the authorized number of shares of stock of any class or series which is otherwise denied voting rights under the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, except as any provision of law may otherwise require.

 

7. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS .

 

- TIME . The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from time to time, by the directors, provided, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the organization of the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the preceding annual meeting. A special meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed by the directors.

 

- PLACE . Annual meetings and special meetings may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the directors may, from time to time, fix. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix such place, the meeting shall be held at the registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware. The board of directors may also, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. If a meeting by remote communication is authorized by the board of directors in its sole discretion, and subject to guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication participate in a meeting of stockholders and be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (a) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (b) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (c) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

 

 
 

 

- CALL . Annual meetings and special meetings may be called by the directors or by any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting.

 

- NOTICE OR WAIVER OF NOTICE . Written notice of all meetings shall be given, which shall state the place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The notice of an annual meeting shall state that the meeting is called for the election of directors and for the transaction of other business which may properly come before the meeting, and shall (if any other action which could be taken at a special meeting is to be taken at such annual meeting) state the purpose or purposes. The notice of any meeting shall also include, or be accompanied by, any additional statements, information, or documents prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Whenever notice is required to be given under the Delaware General Corporation Law, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a written waiver signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

 

 
 

 

- STOCKHOLDER LIST . The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

 

- CONDUCT OF MEETING . Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if present and acting - the Chairperson of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairperson of the Board, if any, the Chief Executive Officer, a Vice-Chief Executive Officer, or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present and acting, by a chairperson to be chosen by the stockholders. The Secretary of the corporation, or in such Secretary's absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting.

 

 
 

 

- PROXY REPRESENTATION . Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder = s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person = s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. A stockholder may also authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making the determination shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to Section 212(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.

 

- INSPECTORS . The directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, if any, before entering upon the discharge of duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector's ability. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots, or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots, or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question, or matter determined by such inspector or inspectors and execute a certificate of any fact found by such inspector or inspectors. Except as may otherwise be required by subsection (e) of Section 231 of the General Corporation Law, the provisions of that Section shall not apply to the corporation.

 

 
 

 

- QUORUM . The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the transaction of any business. The stockholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.

 

- VOTING . Each share of stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Any other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast except where the General Corporation Law prescribes a different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of voting power, and except as may be otherwise prescribed by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and these Bylaws. In the election of directors, and for any other action, voting need not be by ballot.

 

8. STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS . Except as any provision of the General Corporation Law may otherwise require, any action required by the General Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which the proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the board of directors of the corporation.. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Action taken pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of Section 228 of the General Corporation Law.

 

 
 

 

ARTICLE II

 

DIRECTORS

 

1. FUNCTIONS AND DEFINITION . The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the corporation. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of the members thereof. The use of the phrase "whole board" herein refers to the total number of directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies.

 

2. QUALIFICATIONS AND NUMBER . A director need not be a stockholder, a citizen of the United States, or a resident of the State of Delaware. The Board of Directors shall consist of at least one (1) person. Subject to the foregoing limitation and except for the first Board of Directors, such number may be fixed from time to time by action of the stockholders or of the directors. The number of directors may be increased or decreased by action of the stockholders or of the directors.

 

3. ELECTION AND TERM . The first Board of Directors, unless the members thereof shall have been named in the certificate of incorporation, shall be elected by the incorporator or incorporators and shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation. Thereafter, directors who are elected at an annual meeting of stockholders, and directors who are elected in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Except as the General Corporation Law may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or of special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or for the removal of one or more directors and for the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause or without cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director.

 

4. MEETINGS .

 

- TIME . Meetings shall be held at such time as the Board shall fix, except that the first meeting of a newly elected Board shall be held as soon after its election as the directors may conveniently assemble.

- NOTICE OR ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE WAIVER . No notice shall be required for regular meetings for which the time and place have been fixed. Written, oral, or any other mode of notice of the time and place shall be given for special meetings in sufficient time for the convenient assembly of the directors thereat. Whenever notice is required to be given under the Delaware General Corporation Law, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a written waiver signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of any such person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when such person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

 

- QUORUM AND ACTION . A majority of the whole Board shall constitute a quorum except when a vacancy or vacancies prevents such majority, whereupon a majority of the directors in office shall constitute a quorum, provided, that such majority shall constitute at least one-third of the whole Board. A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn a meeting to another time and place. Except as herein otherwise provided, and except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board. The quorum and voting provisions herein stated shall not be construed as conflicting with any provisions of the General Corporation Law and these Bylaws which govern a meeting of directors held to fill vacancies and newly created directorships in the Board or action of disinterested directors.

 

Any member or members of the Board of Directors or of any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any such committee, as the case may be, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

6. COMMITTEES . The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of any member of any such committee or committees, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation with the exception of any power or authority the delegation of which is prohibited by Section 141 of the General Corporation Law, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it.

 

7. WRITTEN ACTION .
