(1) This Registration Statement covers the resale by our selling security holders of up to 1,437,500 shares of Common Stock previously issued to such selling security holders.

 

(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 some of our shareholders in a private placement memorandum.

There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which operates the OTC Markets, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.

 

THE REGISTRANT HEREBY AMENDS THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SUCH DATE OR DATES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DELAY ITS EFFECTIVE DATE UNTIL THE REGISTRANT SHALL FILE A FURTHER AMENDMENT WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL THEREAFTER BECOME EFFECTIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8(a) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE ON SUCH DATE AS THE COMMISSION, ACTING PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION 8(a), MAY DETERMINE.

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 “Nuts and Bolts International, Inc.,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Nuts and Bolts International, Inc.

 

Overview

 

Nuts and Bolts International, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, creates, publishes, and markets electronic books or “eBooks” sold and distributed through the internet. The Company was incorporated on August 21, 2013 to commercialize the efforts of its founder to create short, interactive, non-fiction eBooks designed as a fun, easy and fast way to learn business and hobby-related skills as well as creating fiction eBooks.

 

In addition to fiction eBooks, the Company’s non-fiction eBooks are short, do-it-yourself courses in an eBook format that use text, images, and audio to help people quickly obtain new skills or improve on existing skills. The Company intends to capitalize on a number of publishing industry innovations, including the eBook multimedia format, low price point, and online sales and delivery. The Company further intends to introduce new hobby and “do-it-yourself” eBooks under the “Nuts and Bolts” brand name, to expand its production and sales of eBooks and to address additional market segments in the future.

 

The Company conducts its business through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary: Nuts and Bolts Publishing LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“NABP”). NABP conducts its business worldwide by delivering eBooks through the Internet. As of November 26, 2014, NABP, using the marketing name Nuts and Bolts Press, has published two eBooks – one was published in October 2014 and one was published in November 2014.

 

The Company’s business strategy is to take advantage of the significant growth in the market for eBooks and the relative absence of introductions of new quality brands. The US publishing market is large but fragmented, ranging from very large international media companies to authors who self- publish a single book.

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.

 

For more details regarding this exemption, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies.”

RISK FACTORS

 

The shares of our Common Stock being offered for resale by the selling security holders 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 amount invested in the Common Stock. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider, along with other matters referred to herein, the following risk factors in evaluating our business before purchasing any Shares. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.  You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our Common Stock.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT

 

The founder of the Company began developing the concept for an eBook publishing company in early 2013. The Company was formed and began operations on August 21, 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 product development programs, implementing the corporate infrastructure to support operations at the levels called for by the Company’s business plan, conclude a successful sales and marketing plan to attain significant penetration of the eBook market or that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet its expenses or to achieve or maintain profitability.

 

DIFFICULTIES IN ESTABLISHING A BRAND NAME

 

The Company’s principal business strategy is to develop the Nuts and Bolts brand name as a respected brand associated with the highest quality fiction and non-fiction eBooks. The marketing of consumer products such as high-quality eBooks are highly dependent on creating favorable consumer perception through well-orchestrated marketing and advertising. The Company has little advertising experience, having expended only minimal amounts on such activities to date. The Company’s competitors have significantly greater advertising resources and experience and enjoy well-established brand names. There can be no assurance that the Company’s initial advertising and promotional activities will be successful in creating the desired consumer perception.

OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

 

The audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern. We have incurred significant losses since our inception.

 

Based on our financial history since inception, in their report on our financial statements from inception through July 31, 2014, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have not yet started generating revenue.

 

There can be no assurance that we will have adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to us when needed or at all, or, if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.

   

IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.

 

If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to undertake sufficient sales and business development efforts, which may result in a negative impact to our cash flow and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us.

 

In connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) revenue generation; (ii) our profitability; (iii) the development of similar services undertaken by our competition; (iv) the level of our investment in sales and marketing; and (v) the amount of our capital expenditures, including corporate acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

 

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, our Common Stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control.

 

If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to: (i) limit our expansion; (ii) limit our marketing efforts; and (iii) decrease or eliminate capital expenditures. Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.

 

Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are favorable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the shares being offered for resale by the selling security holders. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

 

TECHNOLOGY RISKS

 

The Company is dependent on software technology for the creation of its products and on the Internet for marketing, sales and product delivery. While the software and systems used by the Company have been well adopted by hundreds of other customers, there remains risk of software failure. Because the Internet is a public network susceptible to outages, hackers, and potential cyber terrorism there is risk that technology related issues could materially affect the Company. Consumer reading habits have also changed as a result of increased Internet and Smartphone usage. Changes in consumer preferences in their use of electronic devices could adversely affect the Company.

COMPETING PRODUCTS

 

The electronic nature of eBook production makes it relatively easy for small companies and individual authors to produce their own eBooks. While editorial and content quality affect consumer purchasing decisions, the low barrier to entry for new eBook publishers could adversely affect the Company. The free information and content that is widely available on the Internet is also a source of competition that could negatively affect the Company.

 

COMPETITION

 

The Company has several large, well-financed competitors in the market for eBooks, each of whom enjoys strong, well-known brand names and a history of successful book launches. These companies compete directly with the Company for consumer sales. The top - companies have substantially greater capital resources, manufacturing, and sales and marketing experience than the Company and long standing brand recognition and market acceptance. See “RISK FACTORS.” The Company believes, however, that the market for eBooks is growing rapidly enough to support the entry of new brands such as those offered by the Company and that the success of new independent publishers supports this position. Small publishers and self-published authors are an emerging force within the industry, making room for ventures like the Company. Our largest publicly-traded competitors include:

 

Courier (NASDASQ: CRRC): Known primarily as one of the nation's largest book printers, Courier also publishes home and garden books, fiction and education materials. A limited number of their titles are produced as eBooks.

 

John Wiley & Sons (NYSE: JW-A): For Dummies, Frommer's and CliffsNotes are just a few of the lines from Wiley, a publisher of reference works, textbooks and journals. Some eBooks published

 

McGraw-Hill (NYSE: MHP): One of the world's largest producers of textbooks and other educational materials, its Standard & Poor's (S&P) unit provides indexes and credit ratings as well. Recently they launched their McGraw-Hill eBook Library, offering more than 1,000 titles to institutions around the world.

 

Pearson (NYSE: PSO): London-based Pearson is a leading publisher of textbooks, as well as fiction and nonfiction through its Penguin Group. They have actively marketing digital products.

 

Scholastic (NASDASQ: SCHL): New York-based Scholastic was the U.S. publisher of the phenomenally successful Harry Potter series. The leading children's book publisher has accelerated spending on digital initiatives.

 

Lagardère (Euronext Paris: MMB): Lagardère is a French diversified media group headquartered in Paris. The firm does business in around 30 countries and is the owner of Hachette Book Group USA, the top eBook publisher in the US.

 

PUBLISHING SHIFTS AND TRENDS

 

The publishing industry is undergoing significant changes that the company believes will provide attractive business opportunities. Examples include the struggle of traditional publishers to find business models that effectively compete and are profitable. Consumer buying habits are changing and they are unlikely to spend hardcover book prices for moderate quality information that is available online for free. As a result, there is growing market for concise “manuals” that provide quality information at a low price point. While this industry shift can provide opportunities for the Company, the changing industry also presents risks that could adversely affect the Company materially.

 

COST OF ADVERTISING

 

Advertising costs are a significant percentage of Company expenses. While the Company has experience in estimating advertising costs needed to acquire new customers, it is impossible to predict these expenses with certainty. Unexpected increases in advertising costs could have a material adverse impact on the publishing industry in general and the Company in particular.

 

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL AND CONTRACTORS

 

The Company will be dependent on its sole officer, Michael Hillerbrand, for the foreseeable future. The loss of the services of Mr. Hillerbrand could have a material adverse effect on the operations and prospects of the Company. The Company will also be dependent on contract authors and illustrators. Given the nature of the Company’s business, it is likely that the failure of contracted authors to meet their obligations would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

10
 

 

Apart from its sole officer, Mr. Hillerbrand, as of the date hereof, the Company does not have any employees and does not have an employment agreement with Mr. Hillerbrand. It is contemplated that the Company may enter into employment agreements usual and customary for its industry in the future. The Company does not currently have any "key man" life insurance on Mr. Hillerbrand.

 

ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS

 

The Company has paid no dividends on its capital stock to date, nor does it anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

 

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.

 

POTENTIAL RISKS OF LOW-PRICED STOCKS

 

I f the Company is not successful in listing its Common Stock for trading on the Bulletin Board and if the price per share of the Common Stock on the Electronic Bulletin were to fall below $5 per share, the Common Stock would most likely come within the definition of “penny stock,” as contained in certain rules and regulations of the SEC. Under those regulations, any broker-dealer seeking to effect a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules must first deliver to the potential customer a standardized risk disclosure document in a form 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 salespersons in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. This information must be given to the customer orally or in writing before the transaction and in writing before or with delivery of the customer’s confirmation of the transaction. Under the penny stock rules, the broker-dealer must make a special determination of the suitability of the suggested investment for the individual customer and must receive the customer’s written consent to the transaction. If the Common Stock were to come within the penny stock rules, it could have the effect of limiting the trading market for the Common Stock and the ability of purchasers in this Offering to sell their stock in the market. If the trading market for the Shares were so limited, the adverse effect on the liquidity of the Shares could have the effect of materially increasing the risks of an investment in the Shares.

 

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR PREFERRED STOCK.

 

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.  

 

11
 

 

UNCERTAINTY OF PROFITABILITY

 

Our profitability will depend upon our success at accomplishing the following tasks:

 

implementing and executing our business model;
establishing name recognition and a reputation for value; and
developing sound business relationships with key strategic partners, and hiring and retaining skilled employees.

 

Additionally, our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter due to a number of factors, including:

 

economic conditions generally, as well as those specific to the eBook industry; and
our ability to access capital as needed, on terms which are fair and reasonable to the Company.

 

MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH

 

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

 

WE ARE ENTERING A POTENTIALLY HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET

 

The market for the creation and distribution of eBooks such as those created and distributed by the Company has several large, well-financed competitors with long-standing brand recognition. These companies compete with the Company for sales to consumers. The Company believes that the rapidly expanding market for eBook sales has created room for new competitors such as the Company but there can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not be able to use their financial and other advantages in competing in price or in creating new eBook topics and formats, resulting in material adverse effects on the business of the Company.

 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

The Company’s principal executive officers and directors also control a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s stock, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. As a result, no other persons can or will be able to effect any Company action except with the consent of these officers and directors, and in certain matters (such as compensation, incentive stock ownership, and continues employment), there may be an inherent conflict of interest unless such persons agree to abstain from voting on such matters, which they are not legally required to do. Our officers and directors may also serve as officers and directors of other entities that are not affiliated with us. Such non-affiliates may be involved in similar business enterprises to ours.

 

WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.

 

We may incur 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 these costs to be approximately $25,000 per year. 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. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors (the “Board”) or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations.

WE ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY,” AND ANY DECISION ON OUR PART TO COMPLY ONLY WITH CERTAIN REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES” COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we expect and fully intend to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be 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.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.  We have elected to opt in to the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards. We have elected to rely on these exemptions and reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” and expect to continue to do so.

THE JOBS ACT ALLOWS US TO DELAY THE ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECTIVE DATES FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES.

 

Since we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, this election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.  As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND AS A RESULT WE WILL HAVE LIMITED REPORTING DUTIES WHICH COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

 

Our shares of Common Stock are not registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, we will not be subject to the federal proxy rules and our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In additional our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may be suspended automatically if we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record on the first day of our fiscal year. Our common shares are not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we do not intend to register our shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future, provided that, we will register our shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, more than either (i) 2000 persons; or (ii) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As a result, although, upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will be required to file annual, quarterly, and current reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as long as our shares of Common Stock are not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules. In addition, so long as our shares of Common Stock are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding shares of Common Stock will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of shares of Common Stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers, and beneficial holders will only be available through this (and any subsequent) Registration Statement, and periodic reports we file thereunder. Furthermore, so long as our shares of Common Stock are not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record. This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations.

 

14
 

 

BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, OUR REPORTING OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 15(D) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, MAY BE SUSPENDED AUTOMATICALLY IF WE HAVE FEWER THAN 300 SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD ON THE FIRST DAY OF OUR FISCAL YEAR.

 

Our Common Stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, and we do not intend to register our Common Stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future (provided that, we will register our Common Stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, $10,000,000 in total assets and either more than 2,000 shareholders of record or 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission), in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act).   As long as our Common Stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record.  This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC.  In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations.

 

OUR ARTICLES   OF INCORPORATION PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AT OUR EXPENSE AND LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MAJOR COST TO US AND HURT THE INTERESTS OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE CORPORATE RESOURCES MAY BE EXPENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS.  

 

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.

  

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, INCLUDING ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING ACCEPTABLE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, ARE COSTLY AND MAY INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY.

 

The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting, auditing and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the limited technically qualified personnel we have may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event that we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.

 

15
 

 

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.

  

We are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, we anticipate that the expenses that will be required in order to adequately prepare for being a public company could be material. We estimate that the aggregate cost of increased legal services; accounting and audit functions; personnel, such as a chief financial officer familiar with the obligations of public company reporting; consultants to design and implement internal controls; and financial printing alone could be several hundred thousand dollars per year. In addition, if and when we retain independent directors and/or add senior management, we may incur additional expenses related to director compensation and/or premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the costs of which we cannot estimate at this time. We may also incur additional expenses associated with investor relations and similar functions, the cost of which we also cannot estimate at this time. However, these additional expenses individually, or in the aggregate, may also be material.

 

In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board, our Board committees or as executive officers.

 

The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may cause us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services to offset the effect of such increased costs. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

THE COMPANY MAY BE SUBJECT TO LITIGATION IN THE FUTURE WHICH COULD IMPACT THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE COMPANY.

 

Currently there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company. However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. 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.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.

 

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.

16
 

 

WE MAY NEVER PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

 

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.

 

THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK WAS DETERMINED BASED ON THE PRICE OF OUR PRIVATE OFFERING, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SECURITIES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO OUR ACTUAL VALUE, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.

 

Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.10 per share for the shares of common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

 

OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

 

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

 

Certain information contained in this Registration Statement includes forward-looking statements. The statements herein which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about the Company’s future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to the Company and its management and management’s interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting the business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (i) our projected sales and profitability; (ii) our growth strategies; (iii) anticipated trends in our industry; (iv) our future financing plans; and (v) our anticipated needs for working capital. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “will,” “shall,” “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the ability to raise sufficient capital to continue the Company’s operations. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this Registration Statement generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Registration Statement will in fact occur.

 

17
 

 

Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

 

The specific discussions herein about the Company include financial projections and future estimates and expectations about the Company’s business. The projections, estimates and expectations are presented in this Registration Statement only as a guide about future possibilities and do not represent actual amounts or assured events. All the projections and estimates are based exclusively on the sole officer of the Company’s own assessment of its business, the industry in which it works and the economy at large and other operational factors, including capital resources and liquidity, financial condition, fulfillment of contracts and opportunities. The actual results may differ significantly from the projections.

 

Prospective investors should not make an investment decision based solely on the Company’s projections, estimates or expectations. 

 

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 OTC Markets concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Markets, 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 Market, 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.

 

18
 

 

Dilution

 

The Common Stock to be sold by the selling security holders as provided in the “Selling Security Holders” section is Common Stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.

 

Selling Security Holders

 

The shares of Common Stock being offered for resale by the selling security holders consist of 1,437,500 shares of our Common Stock held by no more than 35 unaccredited shareholders. These shares were sold in our private offering pursuant to Regulation D Rule 506 sold through July 31, 2014 at an offering price of $0.10 per share (the “Private Offering”).

  

The following table sets forth the names of the selling security holders, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of November 26, 2014 and the number of shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.

There are no agreements between the company and any selling security holder pursuant to which the shares subject to this Registration Statement were issued.

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC MARKET and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Prior to being quoted on the OTC Market, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. Although our Common Stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTC MARKET concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Market, 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 Market, 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 until a market develops for the stock. 

 

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

 

  · ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,
  · transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our Common Stock is trading, market where our Common Stock is trading,
  · through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,
  · through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or
  · any combination of the foregoing.

 

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

 

20
 

 

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 $30,000.

  

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

Information about the Registrant

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

The Company was established on August 21, 2013 to publish eBooks under the Nuts and Bolts brand name. Earlier in 2013, the Company’s founder began developing the concept for an eBook publisher that would produce products that would appeal to tablet and Smartphone users who were eager to learn more about their hobbies and interests. The family of our founder, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Director, Michael Hillerbrand, includes numerous published authors and professional educators.

 

Mr. Hillerbrand, our sole officer, believes the increased popularity of eBooks in the United States is due to certain industry and social trends that should continue for at least the next few years. The Company believes that the principal changes that have contributed to growth in the eBook market are (1) the emergence of eBook readers, tablet computers and Smartphones that make reading eBooks more convenient than a traditional print book, (2) the low cost of production and distribution of eBooks, and (3) the continued consumer interest in consuming media electronically rather than in the traditional print format.

 

The Company conducts its business through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary NABP which conducts its business worldwide by delivering eBooks through the Internet. As of November 26, 2014, NABP, using the marketing name Nuts and Bolts Press, has published two eBooks – one was published in October 2014 and one was published in November 2014.

 

The Company’s strategy is to publish new titles on a regular basis, increasing output each year of operation. As the eBook catalog increases in size, brand awareness and profit margins are projected to increase. Titles will be carefully researched based on consumer search engine topic queries and eBook content will be specifically tailored to match high consumer interests. Formats will be tested to ensure learning effectiveness and positive consumer reception. The eBook electronic format will facilitate easy, low-cost updates and format changes.

Products

 

eBooks are a collection of text and formatting files that when viewed using eReader software produce a book-like reading experience. There are several formats of eBooks including the Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ symbol “APPL”) iBooks and Amazon.com, Inc.’s (NASDAQ symbol: “AMZN”) Kindle format. In addition to the preceding proprietary eBook formats there is also the open EPUB eBook standard. Most eBook electronic reading devices (e.g. Amazon Kindle) use a single eReader software program. As a result, eBook publishers typically publish their books in all three formats. While most basic features are shared by all eReader software, there are exceptions. For example, video imbedded into eBooks is currently only supported by the Apple iBook format and EPUB 3 standard.

 

The Company’s books are designed to be published in all three eBook formats from a single Master File. The Company’s eBooks will be standardized to a shorter length (less than 100 pages), a common number of chapters, and consistent fonts and book layout. In addition to the Company’s fiction eBooks, the reading style, information presentation and learning approach will also be consistent for all of the Company’s non-fiction eBooks.

 

Because the Company’s non-fiction eBooks are specifically designed to facilitate learning of new skills, well accepted pedagogic principles will be incorporated into each book. Information flow, image use and lesson question will be used to maximize reader enjoyment and to enhance new skill acquisition. The electronic eBook format facilitates interactive learning not available in traditional print books or manuals.

 

The creation of new books follows a pre-defined process. The Company decides on titles and topics it wishes to add to the Company catalog. Titles are then assigned to either in-house or contract authors. To keep production costs low, contract authors are primarily used, being compensated by a royalty percentage based on book sales. Some books are authored by in-house staff, who produce new books according to Company production quotas. After the book has been thoroughly reviewed by in-house editorial staff, the book is placed on the Company’s website and made available for purchase.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company intends to use its website as the center of its marketing, sales and product delivery activities. The website will include an online catalog and eCommerce functionality where customers can purchase eBooks online and download purchased products.

 

The website will include eBook descriptions, articles and/or blog posts covering the same topics as in the eBooks. The Company intends to optimize the website’s content to optimize search engine rankings. The website’s content will be designed to attract potential customers to the Company website. The Company will establish credibility as an authority on a given topic by providing some free information on the topic.

 

The low price point for additional information included in the eBook is designed to make buying the eBook attractive. A key part of the Company’s selling proposition is that it is much more efficient to purchase the company’s eBooks than to search for free information of questionable quality and accuracy. Customer convenience will be a key selling point.

 

In addition to “organic” search engine referrals to the Company website, the Company will purchase search based “pay per click” advertising to drive traffic to its website. Advertisement headlines and website landing pages will be tested for effectiveness using state-of-the art analytical tools, including Google Analytics. Display advertising on websites related to a particular eBook will also be evaluated. Social networking sites centered on the particular skill or hobby covered in the eBook will be identified for potential marketing opportunities. Because the Company will position its products as leaders in the electronic DIY segment, identifying effective marketing channels is not anticipated to be a problem.

 

The Company’s eBooks are sold individually, in multi-book “packages,” and on a “club subscription” basis. Individual eBooks are priced below $10.00. eBook packages of multiple books are offered with a promotional discount. Club Subscriptions will allow the customers to download any of the eBooks in the catalog for a renewable annual subscription fee.

In addition to the Company’s fiction eBooks, the Company’s non-fiction eBooks essentially function as short, do-it-yourself courses in an eBook format that use test, images, and audio to help people quickly obtain skills for work or hobbies. The eBooks encompass the key attributes of multimedia format, low price point, and online sales and delivery, increasing potential for success.

  

Employees

 

Apart from its sole officer, Mr. Hillerbrand, the Company currently has no employees.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

The primary residence of our sole officer, Mr. Hillerbrand, consists of a house and a separate building on the same property. Our office is in the non-house building. We do not pay any rent to Mr. Hillerbrand for the use of this building.

 

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 against the Company.

 

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 OTC MARKET 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 OTC MARKET or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

 

Holders of Capital Stock

 

As of the date of this Registration Statement, we had 42 holders of our common stock.

 

Rule 144 Shares

 

As of the date of this Registration Statement, we do not have any shares of our common stock that are currently available for sale to the public in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144.

 

Stock Option Grants

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Audit Committee of:

Nuts and Bolts International, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nuts and Bolts International, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from August 21, 2013 (Inception) to July 31, 2014. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Nuts and Bolts International, Inc. as of July 31, 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 21, 2013 (Inception) to July 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has minimal operations, no revenue since inception, used cash in operations of $22,957 and has an accumulated deficit of $45,227. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JULY 31, 2014

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Organization

 

Nuts and Bolts International, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 21, 2013. 

 

Nuts and Bolts Publishing, LLC was organized under the laws of the State of North Carolina on August 22, 2013 to create short, interactive, non-fiction electronic books (“eBooks”) designed as a fun, easy and fast way to learn business and hobby related skills through the internet aimed at the do it yourself market.  

   

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying 2014 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nuts and Bolts International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nuts and Bolts Publishing, LLC (collectively, the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include the valuation of in kind contribution of services and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At July 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of July 31, 2014, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

 

(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.

NUTS AND BOLTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JULY 31, 2014

 

As of July 31, 2014, the company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $34,441 available to offset future taxable income through July 31, 2034. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2034.

 

The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended July 31, 2014 was an increase of $13,278 since August 21, 2013 (inception).

 

The company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended July 31, 2014 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2019.

 

(G) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter.

 

Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in other income.

 

Property and equipment consist of the following at July 31, 2014:

 

    July 31,     Estimated
    2014     Useful Life
Computer Equipment   $ 896     5 years
      896      
Less: Accumulated Depreciation     (90 )    
Property and Equipment, Net   $ 806      

 

Depreciation expense was $90 for the period from August 21, 2013 (inception) to July 31, 2014.

 

(H) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize 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 plans to generate revenue from the sale of eBooks which will sell from $2.00 to $10.00.

 

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable and notes payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation ("ASUE 2014-10"). The guidance is intended to reduce the overall cost and complexity associated with financial reporting for development stage entities without reducing the availability of relevant information. The Board also believes the changes will simplify the consolidation accounting guidance by removing the differential accounting requirements for development stage entities. As a result of these changes, there no longer will be any accounting or reporting differences in GAAP between development stage entities and other operating entities. For organizations defined as public business entities the presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required starting with the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). The Company adopted this pronouncement for the period from August 21, 2013 (inception) through July 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JULY 31, 2014

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. As of August 31, 2014, we have adopted the provisions of this ASU.

 

(K) Business Segments

 

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

NUTS AND BOLTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JULY 31, 2014

 

NOTE 6 GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has minimal operations with no revenue since inception, used cash in operations of $22,957 and has an accumulated deficit of $45,227. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through October 8, 2014, the date the financial statements were issued. No events occurred subsequent to July 31, 2014 through October 8, 2014 that requires disclosure.

Overview

 

The Company was established on August 21, 2013 to publish fiction eBooks and “life enriching” non-fiction eBooks under the Nuts and Bolts brand name. Earlier in 2013, the Company’s founder began developing the concept for an eBook publisher that would produce products that would appeal to tablet and Smartphone users who were eager to learn more about their hobbies and interests. The family of our founder, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Director, Michael Hillerbrand, includes numerous published authors and professional educators.

 

The Company’s business strategy is to take advantage of the significant growth in the market for eBooks and the relative absence of introductions of new quality brands. The US publishing market is large but is fragmented, ranging from very large international media companies to authors who self- publish a single book.

 

Mr. Hillerbrand, our sole officer, believes the increased popularity of eBooks in the United States is due to certain industry and social trends that should continue for at least the next few years. The Company believes that the principal changes that have contributed to growth in the eBook market are (1) the emergence of eBook readers, tablet computers and Smartphones that make reading eBooks more convenient than a traditional print book, (2) the low cost of production and distribution of eBooks, and (3) the continued consumer interest in consuming media electronically rather than in the traditional print format.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company’s strategy is to publish new titles on a regular basis, increasing output each year of operation. The Company currently has three books in its catalog. These are in the business “How To” category and humor category and are available for purchase on the Company’s website: www.nutsandboltspress.com. As the eBook catalog increases in size, brand awareness and profit margins are projected to increase. Titles will be carefully researched based on consumer search engine topic queries and eBook content will be specifically tailored to match high consumer interests. Formats will be tested to ensure effectiveness and positive consumer reception. Given the fact that the Company is marketing its products to both mature and growing consumer markets, it is anticipated that its marketing strategy will continue to change and evolve over time. The eBook electronic format should facilitate easy, low-cost updates and format changes over time. The electronic

 

Results of Operations

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At the date hereof, we have minimal cash at hand. We require additional capital to implement our business and fund our operations.

 

Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way of equity or debt financing and advances from related parties. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional capital 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, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

27
 

 

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 of your investment.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 21, 2013. In connection with incorporation, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our founders for services with a fair value of $500.  These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.

  

In July 2014, we sold shares through a Regulation D, Rule 506 offering a total of 1,437,500 shares of common stock to no more than 35 unaccredited investors, at a price per share of $0.10 for an aggregate offering price of $143,750.  The Common Stock issued in this offering was issued in a transaction not involving a public offering in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. In accordance with Section 230.506 (b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, these shares qualified for exemption under the Rule 506 exemption for this offerings since it met the following requirements set forth in Reg. §230.506:

 

  (A) No general solicitation or advertising was conducted by us in connection with the offering of any of the Shares.
     
  (B) At the time of the offering we were not: (1) subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act; or (2) an “investment company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

 

31
 

 

  (C) Neither we, nor any of our predecessors, nor any of our directors, nor any beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, nor any promoter currently connected with us in any capacity has been convicted within the past ten years of any felony in connection with the purchase or sale of any security.
     
  (D) The offers and sales of securities by us pursuant to the offerings were not attempts to evade any registration or resale requirements of the securities laws of the United States or any of its states.
     
  (E) None of the investors are affiliated with any of our directors, officers or promoters or any beneficial owner of 10% or more of our securities.

 

Please note that pursuant to Rule 506, all shares purchased in the Regulation D Rule 506 offering completed in July 2014 were restricted in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, each of these shareholders were either accredited as defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or sophisticated as defined in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

We have never utilized an underwriter for an offering of our securities. Other than the securities mentioned above, we have not issued or sold any securities.

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.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty 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.

 

Section 1.8 Voting and Proxies . At every meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to that number of votes, in person or by proxy, for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder to which such share is entitled, but no proxy shall be voted on after six months from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period, which may not exceed seven years. When a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a class or series of stock, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that class or series. If a quorum is present at a properly held meeting of the stockholders, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the shares of stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter under consideration, shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes (i) is required by the articles of incorporation, or (ii) has been provided for in an agreement among all stockholders entered into pursuant to and enforceable under Nevada Revised Statutes §78.365.

A written waiver of notice of any such meeting signed by a stockholder or stockholders entitled to such notice, whether before, at or after the time for notice or the time of the meeting, shall be equivalent to notice.

Section 5.1 Expenses for Actions Other Than By or In the Right of the Corporation . The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with which action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 5.2 Expenses for Actions By or In the Right of the Corporation . The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

 

Section 5.3 Successful Defense . To the extent that any person referred to in the preceding two sections of this Article V has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in such sections, or in defense of any claim issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

Section 5.4 Determination to Indemnify . Any indemnification under the first two sections of this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth therein. Such determination shall be made (i) by the stockholders, (ii) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (iii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Section 5.6 Provisions Nonexclusive . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or under any other bylaw, agreement, insurance policy, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, statute or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

Section 5.7 Insurance . By action of the board of directors, notwithstanding any interest of the directors in the action, the Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance, in such amounts as the board of directors deems appropriate, on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not he is indemnified against such liability or expense under the provisions of this Article V and whether or not the Corporation would have the power or would be required to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article V or of the Nevada Revised Statutes

§78.7502; §78.751 or §78.752 or by any other applicable law.

Section 5.9 Inurement . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.

To the same extent as it may do for a director or officer, the Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to a person who is not and was not a director or officer of the Corporation but who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise.

Section 6.2 Facsimile Signatures . Where a certificate of stock is countersigned (i) by a transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee or (ii) by a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, any other signature on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been placed upon, any such certificate shall cease to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate is issued, the certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

 

Section 6.3 Transfer of Stock. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made on the books of the Corporation only upon presentation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of assignment, except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the laws of the State of Nevada or by order by a court of competent jurisdiction. The officers or transfer agents of the Corporation may, in their discretion, require a signature guaranty before making any transfer.

 

Section 6.4 Lost Certificates . The board of directors may direct that a new certificate of stock be issued in place of any certificate issued by the Corporation that is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

 

ARTICLE VII
