ITEM
1. BUSINESS
.
First
Quantum Ventures, Inc., (“FQVI”) was originally formed as Cine-Source
Entertainment, Inc., (“Old Corporation”) a Colorado Corporation, on July 29,
1988. Pursuant to a Plan of Merger dated February 24, 2004, the Old
Corporation filed Articles and Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of
State
of the State of Colorado merging the Old Corporation into Cine-Source
Entertainment, Inc., (“The Surviving Corporation”), a Colorado
Corporation. A previous controlling shareholder group of the Old
Corporation arranged the merger for business reasons that did not materialize.
On April 26, 2004, the Company effected a 1-for-200 reverse stock
split. Thereafter, the name of the surviving corporation was changed
to First Quantum Ventures, Inc., on April 27, 2004. On April 13, 2006
the Surviving Corporation formed a wholly owned subsidiary, a Nevada Corporation
named First Quantum Ventures, Inc., and on May 5, 2006 merged Surviving
Corporation into First Quantum Ventures, Inc., the Nevada
Corporation. Our common stock is currently traded on the Pink Sheets
under the symbol “FQVI”.
It
is our intention to qualify the Company for quotation of its common stock on
the
over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board.
FQVI
is
authorized to engage in any lawful corporation undertaking including, but
limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. We have been in a
development stage since inception and at the current time have no active
operations. The Company intends to satisfy securities law
requirements for 34 Act reporting. This will enable an acquired
foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (“public”) company
whose securities qualify for trading in the United States secondary
market.
We
will
attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination
of
that target company with us. The combination will normally take the form of
a
merger, stock- for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most
instances, the target company will wish to structure the business combination
to
be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or
Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances
can
be given that we will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target
company.
PERCEIVED
BENEFITS
There
are
certain perceived benefits to being a reporting company with a class of
publicly-traded securities. These are commonly thought to include the
following:
▫ the
ability to use registered securities to make acquisitions of assets or
businesses;
▫ increased
visibility in the financial community;
▫ the
facilitation of borrowing from financial institutions;
▫ improved
trading efficiency;
▫ shareholder
liquidity;
▫ greater
ease in subsequently raising capital;
▫ compensation
of key employees through stock options for which there may be a market
valuation;
▫ enhanced
corporate image;
▫ a
presence in the United States capital market.
POTENTIAL
TARGET COMPANIES
We
will
not restrict our search for any specific kind of business entities, but may
acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is
already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its business life. A
business entity, if any, which may be interested in a business combination
with
us, may include the following:
▫ a
company for which a primary purpose of becoming public is the use of its
securities for the acquisition of assets or businesses;
▫ a
company which is unable to find an underwriter of its securities or is unable
to
find an underwriter of securities on terms acceptable to it;
▫ a
company which wishes to become public with less dilution of its common stock
than would occur upon an underwriting;
▫ a
company which believes that it will be able to obtain investment capital on
more
favorable terms after it has become public;
▫ a
foreign company which may wish an initial entry into the United States
securities market;
▫ a
special situation company, such as a company seeking a public market to satisfy
redemption requirements under a qualified Employee Stock Option
Plan;
▫ a
company seeking one or more of the other perceived benefits of becoming a public
company.
A
business combination with a target company will normally involve the transfer
to
the target company issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, and
may
include supplementing the current management and board of directors or forms
of
transactional aids or controls. No assurances can be given that we will be
able to enter into a business combination, as to the terms of a business
combination, or as to the nature of the target company.
We
are
voluntarily filing this Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and we are under no obligation to do so under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.
RISK
FACTORS
Our
business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the
following:
NO
OPERATING HISTORY OR REVENUE AND MINIMAL ASSETS.
We
have
had no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations. We have
no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood,
sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the
consummation of a business combination.
This
may
result in us incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously
until we can consummate a business combination with a target company. There
is
no assurance that we can identify such a target company and consummate such
a
business combination.
SPECULATIVE
NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS.
The
success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on
the
operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company.
While management will prefer business combinations with entities having
established operating histories, there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In the event we
complete a business combination, of which there can be no assurance, the success
of our operations will be dependent upon management of the target company and
numerous other factors beyond our control.
SCARCITY
OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS.
We
are
and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking
mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of
established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are
active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be merger or
acquisition target candidates for us. Nearly all such entities have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial
capabilities than us and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage
in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing
a
business combination. Moreover, we will also compete with numerous other small
public companies in seeking merger or acquisition candidates.
IMPRACTICABILITY
OF EXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION; FAILURE TO MEET ITS FIDUCIARY
OBLIGATIONS.
Our
limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it
impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis
of
a target company. The decision to enter into a business combination, therefore,
will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis,
market surveys or similar information which, if we had more funds available
to
it, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making decisions
upon information provided by the principals and advisors associated with the
business entity seeking our participation. Management may not be able to meet
its fiduciary obligation to us and our stockholders due to the impracticability
of completing thorough due diligence of a target company. By its failure to
complete a thorough due diligence and exhaustive investigation of a target
company, we are more susceptible to derivative litigation or other stockholder
suits. In addition, this failure to meet our fiduciary obligations increases
the
likelihood of plaintiff success in such litigation.
NO
AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION-NO STANDARDS FOR
BUSINESS COMBINATION-MANAGEMENTS SOLE DISCRETION REGARDING BUSINESS
COMBINATION.
We
have
no current arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging
in a
business combination with a specific entity. There can be no assurance that
we
will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities
or in concluding a business combination. Emilio Jara is our sole officer,
director and as such has complete control and discretion with regard to our
business and affairs. Mr. Jara has complete discretion whether we will enter
into a business combination. Management has not identified any particular
industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation by us. There
is
no assurance that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms
favorable to us. We have not established a specific length of operating history
or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which
we
will require a target company to have achieved, or without which we would not
consider a business combination with such business entity. Accordingly, we
may
enter into a business combination with a business entity having no significant
operating history, losses, limited or no potential for immediate earnings,
limited assets, negative net worth or other negative
characteristics.
CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT CONTROL, LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY.
While
seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting only a limited
amount of time per month to our business. Our sole officer has entered into
a
written employment agreement with us and will provide a limited amount of time
to our business. Mr. Jara has agreed to devote approximately 10 hours
per month to the business affairs of the Company. We have not obtained key
man
life insurance on our officer/director. Notwithstanding the combined limited
experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of this
individual would adversely affect development of our business and likelihood
of
continuing operations.
CONFLICTS
OF INTEREST - GENERAL.
Our
officers and directors may participate in other business ventures which may
compete directly with the Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms
length transactions may also arise in the future. Management has adopted a
policy that we will not seek a business combination with any entity in which
any
member of management serves as an officer, director or partner, or in which
they
or their family members own or hold any ownership interest. See ITEM
5.
REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY OR PRECLUDE ACQUISITION.
Section
13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") requires
companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant
acquisitions including audited financial statements for the company acquired
covering one or two years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition.
The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target companies
to
prepare such financial statements may significantly delay or essentially
preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by us. Acquisition
prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited
statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
LACK
OF
MARKET RESEARCH OR MARKETING ORGANIZATION.
We
have
neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, market research
indicating that demand exists for the transactions contemplated by us. Even
in
the event demand exists for a transaction of the type contemplated by us, there
is no assurance we will be successful in completing any such business
combination.
LACK
OF
DIVERSIFICATION.
Our
proposed operations, even if successful, will in all likelihood result in our
engaging in a business combination with only one target company. Consequently,
our activities will be limited to those engaged in by the business entity which
we will merge with or acquire. Our inability to diversify its activities into
a
number of areas may subject us to economic fluctuations within a particular
business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our
operations.
REGULATION
UNDER INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.
Although
we will be subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes
we
will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in
securities. In the event we engage in business combinations which result in
us
holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be
subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event,
we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected
to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no
formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to our
status under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation
of such Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.
PROBABLE
CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT.
A
business combination involving the issuance of our common stock will, in all
likelihood, result in shareholders of a target company obtaining a controlling
interest in the Company. Any such business combination may require our
shareholder to sell or transfer all or a portion of their common stock. The
resulting change in control of the Company will likely result in removal of
the
present officer and director of the Company and a corresponding reduction in
or
elimination of his participation in the future affairs of the
Company.
REDUCTION
OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING BUSINESS COMBINATION.
Our
primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a business
entity which, in all likelihood, will result in our issuing securities to
shareholders of such business entity. The issuance of previously authorized
and
un-issued common stock of the Company would result in reduction in percentage
of
shares owned by our present shareholders and would most likely result in a
change in control of our management.
TAXATION.
Federal
and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations
in
any business combination we may undertake. Currently, such transactions may
be
structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant
to
various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business
combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both
us
and the target company; however, there can be no assurance that such business
combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization
or
that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer
of
stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition
of both federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties
to the transaction.
POSSIBLE
RELIANCE UPON UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
We
will
require audited financial statements from any business entity we propose to
acquire. No assurance can be given however, that audited financials will be
available to us prior to a business combination. In cases where audited
financials are unavailable, we will have to rely upon un-audited information
that has not been verified by outside auditors in making our decision to engage
in a transaction with the business entity. The lack of the type of independent
verification which audited financial statements would provide increases the
risk
that we, in evaluating a transaction with such a target company, will not have
the benefit of full and accurate information about the financial condition
and
operating history of the target company. This risk increases the prospect that
a
business combination with such a business entity might prove to be an
unfavorable one for us.
ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Plan
of Operation
The
Registrant is continuing its efforts to locate a merger Candidate for the
purpose of a merger. It is possible that the registrant will be successful
in
locating such a merger candidate and closing such merger. However, if the
registrant cannot effect a non-cash acquisition, the registrant may have to
raise funds from a private offering of its securities under Rule 506 of
Regulation D. There is no assurance the registrant would obtain any such equity
funding.
Results
of Operation
The
Company has not had any operating income from its date of reactivation on
February 24, 2004, to date. Some general and administrative
expenses from inception were accrued. Expenses from inception were comprised
of
costs mainly associated with legal, accounting and office.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
June
30, 2007 the Company had no capital resources and will rely upon the issuance
of
common stock, shareholder and third party loans as available, and additional
capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses pending
acquisition of an operating company.
Management
anticipates seeking out a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation
may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other
distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial
advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web sites and
similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who will
be
contacted or solicited. Management may engage in such solicitation directly
or
may employ one or more other entities to conduct or assist in such solicitation.
Management and its affiliates will pay referral fees to consultants and others
who refer target businesses for mergers into public companies in which
management and its affiliates have an interest. Payments are made if a business
combination occurs, and may consist of cash or a portion of the stock in the
Company retained by management and its affiliates, or both.
Emilio
Jara will supervise the search for target companies as potential candidates
for
a business combination and will pay, as his own expenses, any costs he incurs
in
supervising the search for a target company. Mr. Jara may enter into
agreements with other consultants to assist in locating a target company and
may
share stock received by it or cash resulting from the sale of its securities
with such other consultants. Mr. Jara controls us and therefore has the
authority to enter into any agreement binding us. Only Emilio Jara, as our
sole
officer and director, can authorize any such agreement binding us. See ITEM
4.
GENERAL
BUSINESS PLAN
Our
purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire
an
interest in a business entity which desires to seek the perceived advantages
of
a corporation which has a class of securities registered under the Exchange
Act.
We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or
geographical location and we may participate in a business venture of virtually
any kind or nature. Management anticipates that it will be able to participate
in only one potential business venture because we have nominal assets and
limited financial resources. This lack of diversification should be considered
a
substantial risk to our shareholders because we will not offset potential losses
from one venture against gains from another.
We
may
seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced
operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise
additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop
a
new product or service, or for other corporate purposes.
We
anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate
will be complex and extremely risky. Management believes (but has not conducted
any research to confirm) that there are business entities seeking the perceived
benefits of a publicly registered corporation.
Such
perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which
additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive
stock options or similar benefits to key employees, increasing the opportunity
to use securities for acquisitions, providing liquidity for shareholders and
other factors. Business opportunities may be available in many different
industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the
task
of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities
difficult and complex.
We
have,
and will continue to have, limited capital with which to provide the owners
of
business entities with any cash or other assets. However, management believes
we
will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to
acquire a controlling ownership interest in a public company without incurring
the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. Management
has
not conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data to support
the perceived benefits of a business combination for the owners of a target
company.
The
analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the
supervision of, our officer and director, who is not a professional business
analyst. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management may
consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial
resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of
operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected
competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be
available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research,
development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but
which
then may be anticipated to impact our proposed activities; the potential for
growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition
or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other
relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed criteria is not meant to
be
restrictive of our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into
potential business opportunities.
The
Exchange Act requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with
certain reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial
statements to be included in the reporting filings made under the Exchange
Act.
We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial
statements cannot be obtained at or within the required period of time after
closing of the proposed transaction.
We
may
enter into a business combination with a business entity that desires to
establish a public trading market for its shares. A target company may attempt
to avoid what it deems to be adverse consequences of undertaking its own public
offering by seeking a business combination with us. Such consequences may
include, but are not limited to, time delays of the registration process,
significant expenses to be incurred in such an offering, loss of voting control
to public shareholders or the inability to obtain an underwriter or to obtain
an
underwriter on satisfactory terms.
We
will
not restrict our search for any specific kind of business entities, but may
acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is
already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its business
life.
It
is
impossible to predict at this time the status of any business in which we may
become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may
desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived
advantages which we may offer.
Our
management, which in all likelihood will not be experienced in matters relating
to the business of a target company, will rely upon its own efforts in
accomplishing our business purposes. Following a business combination, we may
benefit from the services of others in regard to accounting, legal services,
underwritings and corporate public relations. If requested by a target company,
management may recommend one or more underwriters, financial advisors,
accountants, public relations firms or other consultants to provide such
services.
A
potential target company may have an agreement with a consultant or advisor
providing that services of the consultant or advisor be continued after any
business combination. Additionally, a target company may be presented to us
only
on the condition that the services of a consultant or advisor are continued
after a merger or acquisition. Such preexisting agreements of target companies
for the continuation of the services of attorneys, accountants, advisors or
consultants could be a factor in the selection of a target company.
ACQUISITION
OF OPPORTUNITIES
In
implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become
a
party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing
agreement with another corporation or entity. On the consummation of a
transaction, it is likely that our present management and shareholder may no
longer be in control of the Company. In addition, it is likely that our officer
and director may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign
and be replaced by one or more new officers and directors.
It
is
anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be
issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal
and
state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element
of its transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities
immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times
thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving
entity after we have entered into an agreement for a business combination or
have consummated a business combination and we are no longer considered a blank
check company. The issuance of additional securities and their potential sale
into any trading market which may develop our securities may depress the market
value of our securities in the future if such a market develops, of which there
is no assurance.
While
the
terms of a business transaction to which we may be a party cannot be predicted,
it is expected that the parties to the business transaction will desire to
avoid
the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a
tax-free reorganization under Sections 351 or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.
With
respect to negotiations with a target company, management expects to focus
on
the percentage of the Company which target company shareholders would acquire
in
exchange for their shareholdings in the target company.
Depending
upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, our
shareholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage
ownership interest in the Company following any merger or
acquisition.
The
percentage of ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event
we
acquire a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition
effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the
percentage of shares held by our shareholder at such time.
We
will
participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution
of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be
predicted, generally such agreements will require certain representations and
warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default,
will
detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the
parties prior to and after such closing and will include miscellaneous other
terms.
We
will
not enter into a business combination with any entity which cannot provide
audited financial statements at or within the required period of time after
closing of the proposed transaction. We are subject to all of the reporting
requirements included in the Exchange Act. Included in these requirements is
our
duty to file audited financial statements as part of or within 4 days following
the due date for filing our Form 8-K which is required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission within 4 days following the completion of
the
business combination. If such audited financial statements are not available
at
closing, or within time parameters necessary to insure our compliance with
the
requirements of the Exchange Act, or if the audited financial statements
provided do not conform to the representations made by the target company,
the
closing documents may provide that the proposed transaction will be voidable
at
the discretion of our present management.
Management
has orally agreed that it will advance to us any additional funds which we
need
for operating capital and for costs in connection with searching for or
completing an acquisition or merger. Such advances will be made without
expectation of repayment. There is no minimum or maximum amount management
will
advance to us. We will not borrow any funds to make any payments to our
management, its affiliates or associates.
Our
Board
of Directors has passed a resolution which contains a policy that we will not
seek a business combination with any entity in which our officer, director,
shareholder or any affiliate or associate serves as an officer or director
or
holds any ownership interest.
UNDERTAKINGS
AND UNDERSTANDINGS REQUIRED OF TARGET COMPANIES
As
part
of a business combination agreement, we intend to obtain certain representations
and warranties from a target company as to their conduct following the business
combination. Such representations and warranties may include (i) the agreement
of the target company to make all necessary filings and to take all other steps
necessary to remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act (ii) imposing
certain restrictions on the timing and amount of the issuance of additional
free-trading stock, including stock registered on Form S-8 or issued pursuant
to
Regulation
S and (iii) giving assurances of ongoing compliance with the Securities Act,
the
Exchange Act, the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.
A
prospective target company should be aware that the market price and volume
of
its securities, when and if listed for secondary trading, may depend in great
measure upon the willingness and efforts of successor management to encourage
interest in us within the United States financial community. We do not have
the
market support of an underwriter that would normally follow a public offering
of
its securities. Initial market makers are likely to simply post bid and asked
prices and are unlikely to take positions in our securities for their own
account or customers without active encouragement and a basis for doing so.
In
addition, certain market makers may take short positions in our securities,
which may result in a significant pressure on their market price. We may
consider the ability and commitment of a target company to actively encourage
interest in its securities following a business combination in deciding whether
to enter into a transaction with such company.
A
business combination with us separates the process of becoming a public company
from the raising of investment capital. As a result, a business combination
with
us normally will not be a beneficial transaction for a target company whose
primary reason for becoming a public company is the immediate infusion of
capital. We may require assurances from the target company that it has a
reasonable belief that it will have sufficient sources of capital to continue
operations following the business combination. However, it is possible that
a
target company may give such assurances in error, or that the basis for such
belief may change as a result of circumstances beyond the control of the target
company.
Prior
to
completion of a business combination, we will generally require that it be
provided with written materials regarding the target company containing such
items as a description of products, services and company history; management
resumes; financial information; available projections, with related assumptions
upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services;
evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service marks, or rights thereto;
present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of
transactions between such company and its affiliates during relevant periods;
a
description of present and required facilities; an analysis of risks and
competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation and estimated capital
requirements; audited financial statements, or if they are not available,
un-audited financial statements, together with reasonable assurances that
audited financial statements would be able to be produced within a reasonable
period of time not to exceed 4 days following completion of a business
combination; and other information deemed relevant.
COMPETITION
We
will
remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the
acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture
capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and
personnel resources and technical expertise than us. In view of our combined
extremely limited financial resources and limited management
availability,
we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to
our
competitors.
ITEM
3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The
Company has no properties and at this time has no agreements to acquire any
properties. The Company currently uses the offices of management at no cost
to
the Company. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement until the
Company completes an acquisition or merger.

Set

below is the name of our director and officer, all positions and offices with
the Company held, the period during which he has served as such, and the
business experience during at least the last five years:
Emilio
Jara has been our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
of Directors since April 1, 2007. Currently, Emilio Jara also serves
as Vice President of Operations, Corporate Secretary and a Director of American
Ammunition, Inc. (“AAMU”). Mr. Jara has served in each of these capacities since
September 2001. He has been employed with AAMU since 1988. He has been an
integral part of the AAMU’s technological growth. His abilities have contributed
to research and development and subsequent increase in the number of production
lines. Mr. Jara is extremely well versed in metallurgical and ballistic issues.
He studied business administration at Miami- Dade Community College (1984/1985).
In 1989, he graduated from the Institute of Public Service (Pan Am), GA as

pleasure of the Company, and currently is paid $1,000 monthly until replaced
or
renegotiated.

BOARD MEMBERS
None.
CONFLICTS
OF INTEREST
We
may
agree to pay finder's fees, as appropriate and allowed, to unaffiliated persons
who may bring a target company to us where that reference results in a business
combination. No finder's fee of any kind will be paid by us to management or
our
promoters or to their associates or affiliates. No loans of any type have,
or
will be, made by us to management or our promoters or to any of their associates
or affiliates.
We
will
not enter into a business combination, or acquire any assets of any kind for
its
securities, in which our management or any affiliates or associates have any
interest, direct or indirect.
There
are
no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of
interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of
us
could result in liability of management to us. However, any attempt by
shareholders to enforce a liability of management to us would most likely be
prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
CURRENT
AND FUTURE BLANK CHECK COMPANIES
None.
INVESTMENT
COMPANY ACT OF 1940
Although
we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management believes we will not be subject
to
regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 insofar as we will not
be
engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event
we
engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment
interests in a number of entities we could be subject to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, we would be required to register
as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration
and compliance costs. We have made no formal or informal inquiries to the
Securities and Exchange Commission as to our status under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 and therefore no determination regarding such status has been made
at this time. Any violation of such Act would subject us to material adverse
consequences.

the
symbol “FQVI”. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the
highest and lowest closing bid prices for our common stock as reported
on
the over the counter market in the Pink Sheets as maintained by Pink
Sheets, LLC were 0.51 on June 30, 2006 and 0.25 on September
22, 2005, respectively. The quotations for the common stock
traded in the Pink Sheets may reflect inter-dealer prices, without
retail
mark-up, markdown or commission and may not necessary represent actual
transactions.
|
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes
the
definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
(i)
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written
agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the
penny stock to be purchased.
In
order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker
or
dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and
objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the
transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has
sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of
evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer
must
also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule
prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in
highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made
the
suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed,
written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also
has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.

ITEM
3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM
4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
The
Company has issued unregistered securities under applicable exemptions Pursuant
to a Plan of Merger dated May 5, 2006, the Surviving Corporation merged into
its
subsidiary Nevada Corporation. Since that date the Company has not
issued additional securities. Prior to that date the Surviving
Corporation issued the following securities:
In
May
2004, the Company authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of its restricted
common stock to its sole office and director for services. This
issuance was made pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 under Regulation D
of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In
November 2004 the Company issued a total of 20,000,000 of its common stock
to a
third party investor for short-term capital and services previously rendered
to
and on behalf of the Company on or before November 2, 2004.
At
the
same time, the Company issued an additional 9,000,000 shares of its common
stock
to six creditors in exchange for settlement and satisfaction of any and all
indebtedness of the Company. These issuances were made pursuant to
Section 4(2) and Rule 506 under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended.
ITEM
5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Our
directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Statutes and
our Bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless
in
the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public
policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by
the
court's decision.
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 advised 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.
INSOFAR
AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS
AMENDED, MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE
COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, IT IS THE OPINION OF THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC
POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THE ACT AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR’S REPORT
The
Board
of Directors and Stockholders
First
Quantum Ventures, Inc.
West
Palm
Beach, FL
I
have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of First Quantum Ventures, Inc., as
of
June 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity
(deficit) and cash flows for the two years in the period ended June 30,
2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on my audits.
I
conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that I 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. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for
my opinion.
In
my
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of First Quantum Ventures, Inc.
as of
June 30, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
two
years in the period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial
position and operating results raise substantial doubt about its ability
to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these
matters are also described in Note 4. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of
this uncertainty.

Quantum Ventures, Inc.
(A
Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes
to Financial Statements
First
Quantum Ventures, In.. (the Company) is a Nevada chartered development stage
corporation which conducts business from its headquarters in West Palm Beach,
Florida. The Company was incorporated in Nevada on April 13, 2006,
and is a successor by merger with Cine-Source Entertainment, Inc., and has
elected June 30 as its fiscal year end. The Company changed its name to First
Quantum Ventures, Inc. on February 24, 2004.
The
Company has not yet engaged in its expected operations. Current activities
include raising additional capital and negotiating with potential key personnel
and facilities. There is no assurance that any benefit will result
from such activities. The Company will not receive any operating
revenues until the commencement of operations, but will nevertheless continue
to
incur expenses until then. The following summarize the more significant
accounting and reporting policies and practices of the Company:
a)
Use of estimates
The financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition
and revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results may
differ significantly from those estimates.
b) Start-Up
costs
Costs of start-up activities, including organization
costs, are expensed as incurred, in accordance with Statement of Position
(SOP)
98-5.
|
c) Net
loss per share
Basic loss per weighted average common share is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number
of common
shares outstanding during the
period.
|
d)
Stock compensation for services rendered
The Company issues shares of
common stock in exchange for services rendered. The costs of the
services are valued according to generally accepted accounting principles
and
have been charged to operations.
The
Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock
and
50,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock.. The Company had
34,030,390 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at June 30,
2007. On April 26, 2004, the Company completed a 1-fo-200
reverse split of its common stock, leaving 30,390 shares remaining
outstanding. In May 2004 the company authorized the issuance of
5,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock to its sole officer and director
for services. In November 2004 the company issued a total of
20,000,000 shares of its common stock to a third party for capital and other
services rendered on behalf of the company on or before November 2,
2004. On the same date the company issued an additional 9,000,000
shares of its common stock in exchange for settlement and satisfaction of
the
balance of any indebtedness of the company. All such shares were
issued at par value.
Deferred
income taxes (benefits) are provided for certain income and expenses which
are
recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes.
The
Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes of
approximately $0.
Even
though as shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
Company incurred cumulative net losses totaling $14,495 for the year ended
June
30, 2007, it has a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $34,030 as of June 30,
2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales
and
obtaining additional capital and financing. The Company
is

Notes
to Financial Statements
Going
Concern, continued
attempting to raise additional funds for
the Company through third parties. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable
to
continue as a going concern.

less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders, or

as
the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive

exercise rights in respect of any exchange or reclassification of shares; and
the shareholders of record on such date shall be the shareholders entitled
to
notice of and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend
or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, in the
event
of an exchange or reclassification of shares, as the case may be. If

of
Directors, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be deemed

such meeting. Transferees of shares which are transferred after the

meeting.
SECTION
7. VOTING LISTS

period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the
office of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder
at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall be produced
and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to
the
inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the

transfer book or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

. A majority of the outstanding shares of the
Corporation, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at

so
represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further
notice.
SECTION
9. PROXIES
. At all meetings of shareholders, a
shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by
his
duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the

any
time.

a
transfer of such shares into his name.

standing in the joint names of four (4) or more fiduciaries shall be voted
in
the manner determined by the majority of such fiduciaries, unless the instrument
or order appointing such fiduciaries otherwise directs.

held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without
the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so is contained in an
appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.
A
shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares
(except that if the right to vote be expressly given in writing to the pledgee
and notice thereof delivered to the Corporation in writing by the pledgee,

pledgee or his nominee shall be entitled to vote the shares so
transferred.
SECTION
12. INFORMAL ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS

extent provided in the resolution, shall have and exercise the authority of
the
Board of Directors in the management of the Corporation.
SECTION
2. NUMBER, TENURE AND QUALIFICATIONS
. The number of
directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed
from time to time by resolution passed by the Board or by the shareholders
(any
such resolution of either the Board of Directors or shareholders being subject
to any later resolution by either of them) but in no event shall such number
be
less than one. No resolution shall have the effect of shortening the
term of any incumbent director. Directors shall be elected at the
annual meeting of shareholders and shall continue in office until their
successors shall have been elected and qualified. Directors need not
be residents of Nevada nor need they be the holder of any shares of the capital
stock of the Corporation.
SECTION
3. REGULAR MEETINGS
. Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held without other notice than this By-Law, immediately
after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of

time and place, either within or without the State of Nevada, for holding of
additional regular meetings without other notice than such
resolution.
SECTION
4. SPECIAL MEETINGS
. Special meetings of the Board of
Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman of the Board,

meeting of the Board of Directors called by them.
SECTION
5. NOTICE
. Written notice of any special meeting shall
be given to each director at least two (2) days before the meeting, either
by
personal delivery or by mail, telegram or cablegram. Any director may
waive notice of any meeting.
The
attendance of a director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice
of
such meeting, and a waiver of any and all objections to the place of meeting,
the time of meeting, or the manner in which it was called or convened, except
where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to
the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose
of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified
in the notice or waiver or notice of such a meeting.
SECTION
6. QUORUM
. A majority of the number of directors fixed
by or in the manner prescribed in the By-Laws of the Board of Directors shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board
of Directors, provided, that if less than a majority of the directors are
present at that meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the
meeting from time to time without further notice.
SECTION
7. MANNER OF ACTING
. The act of majority of the
directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act
of
the Board of Directors.
SECTION
8. INFORMAL ACTION BY DIRECTORS
. Any action required
to be taken at a meeting of the Directors of a corporation or any action which
may be taken at such meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in
writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all directors
and
such consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote.
SECTION
9. VACANCIES
. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of
Directors or in a directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the
number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the
remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of
Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for
the unexpired term of his predecessor in office or until the next succeeding
annual meeting of shareholders. Any directorship to be filled by
reason of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by election
by
the Board of Directors for a term of office continuing only until the next
election of the directors by the shareholders.
SECTION
10. COMPENSATION
. Directors, as such, shall not
receive any stated salaries for their services, but by resolution of the Board
of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed
for
attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors;
provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any
director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving
compensation therefor.
SECTION
11. REMOVAL
. At a meeting or shareholders called
expressly for that purpose, directors may be removed, with or without cause,
by
a vote of the majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of
directors.
ARTICLE

two (2) or more offices may be held by the same person, except that the offices

3. REMOVAL

party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative

by
reason of the fact that he 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
or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such 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.
Except
as
provided hereinbelow, any such indemnification shall be made by the Corporation
only as authorized in the specific case upon determination that indemnification
of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met
the
applicable standard of conduct set forth above. Such determination
shall be made: (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
of
directors; or (b) by the shareholders.
Expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action,
suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action or proceeding if authorized by the Board of Directors
and upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to
repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled
to be indemnified by the Corporation.
To
the
extent that a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, 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 without any further determination that he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth above.
