PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SIPUP CORPORATION
1,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of a maximum of 1,000,000 shares (the Maximum Offering) of common stock, $0.001 par value (Common Shares) by Sipup Corporation., a Nevada company (we, us, our, Sipup, Company or similar terms). There is no minimum for this Offering. The Offering will commence promptly on the date upon which this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC and will continue for 8 months. At the discretion of our board of directors, we may discontinue the offering before expiration of the 8 months period or extend the offering for up to 120 days following the expiration of the 8 months offering period. We will pay all expenses incurred in this offering. We are an emerging growth company under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
The offering of the 1,000,000 shares is a best efforts offering, which means that our officer and sole director will use their best efforts to sell the common stock and there is no commitment by any person to purchase any shares. The shares will be offered at a fixed price of $0.05 per share for the duration of the offering. There is no minimum number of shares required to be sold to close the offering. Proceeds from the sale of the shares will be used to fund the initial stages of our business development. We have not made any arrangements to place funds received from share subscriptions in an escrow, trust or similar account. Any funds raised from the offering will be immediately available to us for our immediate use. Accordingly, if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. If a creditor sues us and obtains a judgment against us, the creditor could garnish the bank account and take possession of the subscriptions. As such, it is possible that a creditor could attach your subscription which could preclude or delay the return of money to you. If that happens, you will lose your investment and your funds will be used to pay creditors.
This is a direct participation offering since we are offering the stock directly to the public without the participation of an underwriter. Our officer and sole director will be solely responsible for selling shares under this offering and no commission will be paid on any sales.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock and we have not applied for the listing or quotation of our common stock on any public market. We have arbitrarily determined the offering price of $0.05 per share in relation to this offering. The offering price bears no relationship to our assets, book value, earnings or any other customary investment criteria. After the effective date of the registration statement, we intend to seek a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We currently have no market maker who is willing to list quotations for our stock. There is no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will develop or will be sustained if developed.

The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common shares.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
As used in this prospectus, references to the Company, we, our, us or Sipup Corporation refer to Sipup Corporation unless the context otherwise indicates.
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the Risk Factors section, the financial statements, and the notes to the financial statements.
Our Company
Sipup Corporation was incorporated on October 31, 2012, under the laws of the State of Nevada, for the purpose of producing, packing and selling flavoured yogurts.
We are a development stage company that has not realized any revenues to date, and our accumulated deficit as of November 30, 2012 is $5,864. To date we have raised an aggregate of $3,000 through a private placement of our securities. Proceeds from the private placement were used for working capital. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for our Company which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys principal offices are located at Willy-Brandt-Anlage 20, 64823 Gross Umstadt, Germany. Our telephone number is +49-800-181-3076.
We are in the early stages of developing our business, which is to produce, pack and sell flavoured yogurts. Our plan of operations over the 12 month period following successful completion of our offering of $50,000 is to use (1) $7,000 to open and set up a small office and warehouse, (2) $5,000 to purchase ingredients and supplies (eg. Yogurt containers and non-tampered lids, (3) $8,000 to purchase used or lease out cheap machinery (eg. Heat seal liner and heating pads) (4) $10,000 to pay a salary to Rashid Naeem, our President and sole director, (5) $10,000 for legal and accounting fees and (6) $10,000 for costs associated with being a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (See Business of the Company and Plan of Operations.)
We plan to raise the additional funding for our twelve month business plan by way of private debt or equity financing, but have not commenced any activities to raise such funds. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to proceed with our twelve month business plan.
From inception until the date of this filing we have had limited operating activities, primarily consisting of the incorporation of our company, the initial equity funding by our officer and sole director, contacting FDA, and preparing our recipes. We received our initial funding of $3,000 through the sale of common stock to our President and director, who purchased 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share.
5
Our financial statements from inception on October 31, 2012 through November 30, 2012 report no revenues and a net loss of $5,864. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for our Company which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Rashid Naeem, our President, sole director and officer did not agree to serve as an officer or director of the Company at least in part due to a plan, agreement or understanding that he and she, respectively, would solicit, participate in, or facilitate the sale of the enterprise to (or a business combination with) a third party looking to obtain or become a public reporting entity, and Mr. Naeem also confirms that he has no such present intention.
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public trading market for our common stock and no assurance that a trading market for our securities will ever develop.
We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not 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, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and the 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 intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. For a description of the qualifications and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and certain elections that we have made due to our status as an emerging growth company, see RISK FACTORS--RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR COMMON STOCK - WE ARE AN `EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY AND WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF THE REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES WILL MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS on page 9 of this prospectus.
This is a direct participation offering since we are offering the stock directly to the public without the participation of an underwriter. Our sole officer and director will be solely responsible for selling shares under this offering and no commission will be paid on any sales.
There has been no market for our securities and a public market may never develop, or, if any market does develop, it may not be sustained. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market maker file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for our common stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market maker who has agreed to file such application. There can be no assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on a stock exchange or a quotation service or that any market for our stock will develop.
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common shares.
Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will be penny stock. Penny stock is any equity that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investors account for transactions in penny stocks, and 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 an investors account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the 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
6
form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the penny stock rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the 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.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following known material risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our companys common stock. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment.
In their report dated December 6, 2012, our independent registered public accounting firm David A. Aronson, CPA, P.A., stated that our financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2012 were prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business. For the period from inception (October 31, 2012) to November 30, 2012 we incurred a net loss of $5,864. We will need to generate significant revenue in order to achieve profitability and we may never become profitable. The going concern paragraph in the independent auditors report emphasizes the uncertainty related to our business as well as the level of risk associated with an investment in our common stock.
As a result, if we are unable to obtain additional financing at this stage in our operations, our business will fail and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock
We have no operating history and have maintained losses since inception, which we expect to continue into the future.
We were incorporated on October 31, 2012 and have very limited operations. We have not realized any revenues to date. Our proposed business is to produce, pack, and sell flavoured yogurts is under development, and we are not ready to be offered to customers. We have no operating history at all upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception (October 31, 2012) to November 30, 2012 is $5,864. Based upon our proposed plans, we expect to incur significant operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are substantial costs and expenses associated with the development and marketing of our proposed product. We may fail to generate revenues in the future. If we cannot attract a significant number of customers, we will not be able to generate any significant revenues or income. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business because we will not have the money to pay our ongoing expenses.
We have minimal operations, have never had any revenues, have no current prospects for future revenues, and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
We are in the development stage as a yogurt production company and are presently engaged in limited activities. We had minimal operations and generated no operating revenues since inception. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. As of our year ended November 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,864. We have never had any revenues from operations and we do not have any current prospects for future revenues. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is primarily dependent upon our ability to market our yogurts and have them put in retail store shelves. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur minimal operating losses and aim to obtain revenue in foreseeable future periods. As a result, we may generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease operations.
We depend to a significant extent on certain key personnel, the loss of any of whom may materially and adversely affect our company.
8
Currently, we have only one employee who is also our sole officer and director. We depend entirely on Rashid Naeem for all of our operations. The loss of Mr. Naeem would have a substantial negative effect on our company and may cause our business to fail. Mr. Naeem has not been compensated for his services since our incorporation, and it is highly unlikely that he will receive any compensation unless and until we generate substantial revenues. There is intense competition for skilled personnel and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. The loss of Mr. Naeems services could prevent us from completing the development of our plan of operation and our business. In the event of the loss of services of such personnel, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain the services of adequate replacement personnel.
We do not have any employment agreements or maintain key person life insurance policies on our officer and director. We do not anticipate entering into employment agreements with him or acquiring key man insurance in the foreseeable future.
We have limited business, sales and marketing experience in our industry.
We have not completed the development of our product and have yet to generate revenues. While we have plans for marketing our product and sales, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. There can be no assurance that our proposed plan to sell flavoured yogurts will gain wide acceptance in its target market or that we will be able to effectively market our products. Additionally, we are a newly-formed, development stage company with no prior experience in our industry. We are entirely dependent on the services of our sole officer and director, Rashid Naeem, to build our customer base. Our company has no prior experience which it can rely upon in order to garner its first prospective customers to purchase our yogurts. Prospective customers will be less likely to purchase our yogurts business than a competitors because we have no prior experience in our industry.
We may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors.
We expect to face strong competition from well-established companies and small independent companies like our self that may result in price reductions and decreased demand for our flavoured yogurts. We will be at a competitive disadvantage in obtaining the facilities, employees, financing and other resources required to provide yogurt demanded by prospective customers. Our opportunity to obtain customers may be limited by our financial resources and other assets. We expect to be less able than our larger competitors to cope with generally increasing costs and expenses of doing business.
Because our current president has other business interests, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail.
Rashid Naeem, our sole officer and a director, currently devotes approximately twenty hours per week providing management services to us. While he presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interest, it is possible that the demands on him from other obligations could increase, with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. The loss of Mr. Naeem to our company could negatively impact our business development.
Current managements lack of experience in and with the yogurt business means that it is difficult to assess, or make judgments about, our potential success.
Our officer and sole director has no prior experience with or ever been employed in a job involving producing, packing, and selling flavoured yogurts. Additionally, our officer and sole director does not have a college or university degree, or other educational background in the yogurt business. More specifically, our officer and sole director has been making yogurts for many years for his own use but lacks training and experience with marketing and selling it to customers. With no direct training in the yogurts business, our officer and sole director may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to the yogurt business. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to our officer and sole directors future possible mistakes, lack of sophistication, judgment or experience in yogurts business.
We intend to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the securities exchange act of 1934, as amended, which will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs will negatively affect our ability to earn a profit.
9
Following the effective date of the registration statement in which this prospectus is included, we will be required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder. In order to comply with such requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. Factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot accurately be determined at this time and may have a major negative effect on the cost and amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.
However, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not 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, 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 intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.
We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31.
After, and if ever, we are no longer an emerging growth company, we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with those requirements applicable to companies that are not emerging growth companies, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We are an emerging growth company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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 cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves to this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
The lack of public company experience of our management team could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S. securities laws.
Our President, officer and sole director, Rashid Naeem, lacks public company experience, which could impair our
ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Mr. Naeem has never been responsible for managing a publicly traded company. Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our company.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
We are selling our offering of 1,000,000 shares of common stock without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares.
Our offering of 1,000,000 shares is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares through our President, who will receive no commissions. He will offer the shares to friends, family members, and business associates, however, there is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless he is successful in selling all of the shares and we receive the proceeds from this offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan.
Because there is no minimum proceeds the Company can receive from its offering of 1,000,000 shares, the Company may not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned business and your entire investment could be lost
The Company is making its offering of 1,000,000 shares of common stock on a best-efforts basis and there is no minimum amount of proceeds the Company may receive. Funds raised under this offering will not be held in trust or in any escrow account and all funds raised regardless of the amount will be available to the Company. In the event the company does not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned operations, your entire investment could be lost.
Our current management holds significant control over our common stock and they may be able to control our Company indefinitely.
Our management has significant control over our voting stock which may make it difficult to complete some corporate transactions without their support and may prevent a change in control. Our officer and a director, Rashid Naeem, owns 3,000,000 shares, or 100%, of our outstanding common stock. After the offering is completed, if maximum numbers of shares are sold, our sole officer and director will own 75% of our outstanding and issued common stock. As a result of this substantial ownership in our common stock, Mr. Naeem will have considerable influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our common stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our common stock.
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares because they are considered penny stocks and are subject to the penny stock rules.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who make a market in penny stocks. A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our shares currently are not traded on Nasdaq nor on any other exchange nor are they quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Following the date that the registration statement, in which this prospectus is included, becomes effective we hope to find a broker-dealer to act as a market maker for our stock and file on our behalf with FINRA an application on Form 211 for approval for our shares to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not attempted to find a market maker to file such application for us. If we are successful in finding such a market maker and successful in applying for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is very likely that our stock will be considered a penny stock. In that case, purchases and sales of our shares will be generally facilitated by FINRA broker-dealers who act as market makers for our shares. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares,
which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $5,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for
11
the purchaser and must receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customers account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
There is no liquidity and no established public market for our common stock and we may not be successful at obtaining a quotation on a recognized quotation service. In such event it may be difficult to sell your shares.
There is presently no public market in our shares and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. We intend to have an application filed on our behalf by a market maker for admission to quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board after this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC. There can be no assurance that we will be successful at developing a public market or in having our common stock quoted on a quotation facility such as the OTC Bulletin Board. There are risks associated with obtaining a quotation, including that broker dealers will not be willing to make a market in our shares, or to request that our shares be quoted on a quotation service. In addition, even if a quotation is obtained, the OTC Bulletin Board and similar quotation services are often characterized by low trading volumes, and price volatility, which may make it difficult for an investor to sell our common stock on acceptable terms. If trades in our common stock are not quoted on a quotation facility, it may be very difficult for an investor to find a buyer for their shares in our Company.
We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 12, 2012, the Company had 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 72,000,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of our Company.
Though not now, in the future we may become subject to Nevadas control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevadas control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation. The law focuses on the acquisition of a controlling interest which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will
12
be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.
If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favour of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholders shares.
Nevadas control share law may have the effect of discouraging takeovers of the Company.
In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and interested stockholders for three years after the interested stockholder first becomes an interested stockholder, unless the corporations board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an interested stockholder is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term business combination is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporations assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.
The effect of Nevadas business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of our Company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.
Because there is no escrow, trust or similar account, the offering proceeds could be seized by creditors or by a trustee in bankruptcy, in which case investors would lose their entire investment.
Any funds that we raise from our offering of 1,000,000 shares of common stock will be immediately available for our use and will not be returned to investors. We do not have any arrangements to place the funds received from our offering of 1,000,000 shares of common stock in an escrow, trust or similar account. Accordingly, if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. If a creditor sues us and obtains a judgment against us, the creditor could garnish the bank account and take possession of the subscription funds. As such, it is possible that a creditor could attach your subscription funds which could preclude or delay the return of money to you. If that happens, you will lose your investment and your funds will be used to pay creditors.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus.
Secondary trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
The Company does not intend to seek registration or qualification of its shares of common stock the subject of this offering in any State or territory of the United States. Aside from a secondary trading exemption, other exemptions under state law and the laws of US territories may be available to purchasers of the shares of common stock sold in this offering.

DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the 1,000,000 shares being offered has been determined arbitrarily by us. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plan. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
DILUTION
The price of our offering of 1,000,000 shares is fixed at $0.05 per share. This price is significantly higher than the
average approximately $0.001 price per share paid by Rasheed Naeem, our sole officer and director, for the 3,000,000 shares of common stock he purchased on November 19, 2012.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities
14
and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.
As of November 30, 2012, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $(2,864) or $(0.0009) per share based upon 3,000,000 shares outstanding.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Plan of Distribution for the Companys Initial Public Offering of 1,000,000 Shares
Sipup Corporation has 3,000,000 common shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The Company is registering an additional 1,000,000 shares of its common stock for sale at the price of $0.05 per share. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the offering on the price of the stock. In connection with the Companys selling efforts in the offering, Rashid Naeem will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the safe harbor provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuers securities. Mr. Naeem is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. Mr. Naeem will not be compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Mr. Naeem is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and he is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, Mr. Naeem will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Mr. Naeem will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
Sipup Corporation will receive all proceeds from the sale of the 1,000,000 shares being offered. The price per share is fixed at $0.05 for the duration of this offering. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange or quoted over-the-counter, we intend to seek to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
The Companys shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and subject to the discretion of the Company. Further, the Company will not offer its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares of common stock sold by the Company may be occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.05 per share.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which Sipup Corporation has complied. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective. Sipup Corporation will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states).
Terms of the Offering
We are offering a total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in a self-underwritten public offering, with no minimum purchase requirement. We do not have an arrangement to place the proceeds from this offering in an escrow, trust, or similar account. Any funds raised from the offering will be immediately available to us for our immediate use. Accordingly, if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. If a creditor sues us and obtains a judgment against us, the creditor could garnish the bank account and take possession of the subscriptions. As such, it is possible that a creditor could attach your subscription which could preclude or delay the return of money to you. If that happens, you will lose your investment and your funds will be used to pay creditors.
The shares will be sold at the fixed price of $0.05 per share until the completion of this offering. There is no minimum amount of subscription required per investor, and subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable. This
16
offering will commence on the date of this prospectus and continue for a period of 8 months. At the discretion of our board of directors, we may discontinue the offering before expiration of the 8-month period.
Penny Stock Rules
The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks as such term is defined by Rule 15g-9. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange).
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to the penny stock rules.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which: (i) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (ii) contains a description of the brokers or dealers duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities laws; (iii) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (iv) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (v) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (vi) contains such other information and is in such form as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (i) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (ii) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (iii) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of December 12, 2012, there were 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that were held by our sole officer and director and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions associated with our common stock. This description does not purport to be a complete description of all of the rights and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of our most current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are included as exhibits to this Registration Statement.
17
The holders of our common stock currently have (i) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company (iii) do not have pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stock holders may vote.
Except as otherwise required by Nevada law or the Articles of Incorporation, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the stockholders shall be necessary to authorize any corporate action to be taken by vote of the stockholders.
Please refer to the Companys Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of the Companys securities.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws
The Nevada Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing Acquisition of Controlling Interest. This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires control shares whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: (1) 20 to 33 1/3%, (2) 33 1/3 to 50%, or (3) more than 50%. A control share acquisition is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act. The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of Issuing Corporations as defined by the act. An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation, which; (1) has 200 or more stockholders, with at least 100 of such stockholders being both stockholders of record and residents of Nevada; and (2) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders of record resident of Nevada. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of the Company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.
The Nevada Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of the Company. This statute prevents an interested stockholder and a
resident domestic Nevada corporation from entering into a combination, unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder having; (1) an aggregate market value equal to 5 percent or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; (2) an aggregate market value equal to 5 percent or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or (3) representing 10 percent or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation. An interested stockholder means the beneficial owner of 10 percent or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a combination within three years after the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (1) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; (2) the market value per common share on the date of announcement of
18
the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher; or (3) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock. The effect of Nevadas business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the company, from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.
Rule 144 Shares
As of the date of this prospectus, we have issued 3,000,000 shares. Rashid Naeem, our President, Treasurer, sole officer and director beneficially owns 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. These shares are currently restricted from trading under Rule 144. They will only be available for resale, within the limitations of Rule 144, to the public if:
(i)
We are no longer a shell company as defined under section 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. A shell company is defined as a company with no or nominal operations, and with no or nominal assets or assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents;
(ii)
We have filed all Exchange Act reports required for at least 12 consecutive months; and
(iii)
If applicable, at least one year has elapsed from the time that we file current Form 10-type of information on Form 8-K or other report changing our status from a shell company to an entity that is not a shell company.
At present, we are considered to be a shell company under the Regulations. If we subsequently meet these requirements, our officer and director would be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks, preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale for sales exceeding 5,000 shares or an aggregate sale price in excess of $50,000. If fewer shares at lesser value are sold, no Form 144 is required.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization within the last five years
19
On October 31, 2012, the Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. We were formed to produce, pack, and sell flavoured yogurts. We are in the development stage, and have not realized any revenues from our operations.
Rashid Naeem has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, from October 31, 2012, until the current date. Our board of directors is comprised of one person: Rashid Naeem. Mr. Naeem does not have any intention to, and has no present intention to, agree to purchase Sipup Corporations shares or serve as an officer or director of Sipup Corporation at least in part due to a plan, agreement, or understanding that he would solicit, participate in, or facilitate the sale of the enterprise to (or a business combination with) a third party looking to obtain or become a public reporting entity.
We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. On November 19, 2012, we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director. Mr. Naeem purchased such 3,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000.
General
We were incorporated on October 31, 2012 in the State of Nevada. We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since incorporation, we have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets. We are not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since we have a specific business plan or purpose. We have not had preliminary contact or discussions with, nor do we have any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger.
From inception until the date of this filing we have had limited operating activities, primarily consisting of the incorporation of our company, the initial equity funding by our officer and sole director, contacting FDA, and preparing our recipes. We received our initial funding of $3,000 through the sale of common stock to Rashid Naeem, our President, Treasurer, sole officer and director, who purchased 3,000,000 shares at $0.001 per share.
Our financial statements from inception (October 31, 2012) through our first fiscal year ended November 30, 2012 report no revenues and a net loss of $5,864. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for our Company which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are a development stage company which is in the business of producing, packing, and selling flavoured yogurts. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to develop our business operations. To implement our plan of operations we require a minimum funding of $25,000 for the next twelve months. After twelve months period we may need additional financing. If we do not generate any revenue we may need a minimum of $10,000 of additional funding to pay for SEC filing requirements. Rashid Naeem, our President, Treasurer, sole officer and director, has agreed to loan the Company funds, however, he has no firm commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the Company. We have no revenues and have incurred losses since inception. The Companys principal offices are located at Willy-Brandt-Anlage 20, 64823 Gross Umstadt, Germany. Our telephone number is +49-800-181-3076.
Our operations to date have been devoted primarily to start-up and development activities, which include:
1.
Formation of the Company;
2.
Development of our business plan;
3.
Contacted Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for product labelling procedure and for requirements for registering our manufacturing facility; and
4.
Preparing the recipes for our flavoured yogurts.
20
Product Description
We intend to produce, pack, and sell our flavoured yogurts and market them. We have contacted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the product labelling procedure, and registration requirement of our manufacturing facility. We have not registered our facility with FDA as we will once we setup our office and warehouse. We plan to have our flavoured yogurts shelved and refrigerated at local grocery stores and at bigger retailers and wholesalers. Our sole officer and director, Rashid Naeem , has been making yogurts for his personal needs for many years. We will rely on his knowledge and expertise to produce, pack, and sell our flavoured yogurts.
As we will be new in the business we will require full payments from our customers prior to releasing our flavoured yogurts. Potential customers will have two options to pay: by wire transfer or by sending a check/money order. Our customers will be responsible to cover the transporting costs for bigger quantities, as we will not be able to transport products in big quantity. We plan to purchase or lease out delivery vehicles once we start making revenue. Once the customer becomes a regular client we will take a partial deposit to have our product released at our own expense and risk.
Marketing Our Product
We plan to market our yogurts locally initially, our products will be promoted by our President, Treasurer, sole officer and director, Rashid Naeem . We intend to develop and maintain a database of potential small grocery stores locally who may want to buy and have our yogurts put in there refrigerators. Our methods of communication will include: phone calls, email, and regular mail. We will ask our satisfied customers for referrals. To draw attention from potential customers we plan to market and advertise our company though social networking. We intend to use Facebook and Twitter to spread information about our flavoured yogurts.
Employees
We currently have no employees. Our sole officer and director handles the companies day to day operations.
Insurance
We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party of a legal action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.
Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees.
We are a development stage company and currently have no employees. Rashid Naeem our sole officer and director, is a non-employee officer and director of the Company. We intend to hire employees on an as needed basis.
Offices
The Companys principal offices are located at Willy-Brandt-Anlage 20, 64823 Gross Umstadt, Germany. Our telephone number is +49-800-181-3076.
Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies in any jurisdiction which we would conduct activities.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the
Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.
21
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
Admission to Quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board
We intend to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that it:
(1) is not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and (2) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers rather than the specialist common to stock exchanges.
To qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. We do not yet have an agreement with a registered broker-dealer, as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the Company listing. If the Company meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board our securities will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board until a future time, if at all, that we apply and qualify for admission to quotation on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We may not now and it may never qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or be accepted for listing of our securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
Transfer Agent
We have not retained a transfer agent to serve as transfer agent for shares of our common stock. Until we engage such a transfer agent, we will be responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with the shares of our common stock.
Holders
As of December 12, 2012, the Company had 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by 1 holder of record.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends. See the Risk Factor entitled BECAUSE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RETURN ON THEIR SHARES UNLESS THEY SELL THEM.
Securities Authorized Under Equity Compensation Plans
We have no equity compensation or stock option plans. We may in the future adopt a stock option plan .
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Certain statements contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current expectations, primarily with respect to the future operating performance of the Company and the products we expect to offer and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, future press releases and future oral or written statements made by us or with our approval, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain forward-looking statements, because such statements
22
include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.
Plan of Operation
Our cash balance is $2,993 as of November 30, 2012. We do not believe that our cash balance is sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations beyond one years time.
Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we complete our initial business development. There is no assurance we will ever reach that stage. To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to expand operations but we cannot guarantee that once we expand operations we will stay in business after doing so.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Even if we raise $50,000 from this offering, it will last one year, but we may need more funds to develop growth strategy, and we will have to revert to obtaining additional money.
In the next twelve months, following completion of our public offering, we plan to engage in the following activities to expand our business operations:
(1)
In the first and second months after completion of our offering if maximum number of shares sold, we plan to set up an office and a small warehouse for operations and storage. Our officer and director will handle our administrative duties.
(2)
In the third and fourth months after completion of our offering, we plan to buy used or lease cheap machinery for our flavoured yogurts to be produced, and packed in-house instead of out-sourcing to other companies to save costs. We also plan to purchase ingredients and yogurt containers necessary to make and pack the yogurts.
(3)
In the fifth and sixth months after completion of our offering, we plan to have a small promotion by sampling our flavoured yogurts out to businesses for a feedback and to get our companies name out in the communities and to improve on our flavours.
(4)
In the seventh and eight months after completion of our offering we plan to market our flavoured yogurts to local grocery retailers to have our yogurts put in their refrigerators.
(5)
In the ninth and tenth months after completion of our offering, we plan to meet with bigger retailers and wholesalers to have our flavoured yogurts put on shelves at their stores.
(6)
In the eleventh and twelfth months after completion of our offering, we plan to come out with more flavours of our flavoured yogurts under our companys name and market them as well.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
23
Limited operating history; Need for additional capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
From Inception (October 31, 2012) to November 30, 2012
During the period, we incorporated the Company, and prepared a business plan . Our loss since inception is $5,864 related primarily to professional fees, the incorporation of the Company, bank charges and office supplies. We have not meaningfully commenced our proposed business operations and will not do so until we have completed this offering.
Since inception, we have offered and sold (i) 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Rashid Naeem, our sole officer and a director, at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $3,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of November 30, 2012, the company had $2,993 cash and our liabilities were $5,857, consisting of primarily professional fees, the incorporation of the Company, bank charges and office supplies. As of the date of this prospectus, we have cash of $2,993. The available capital reserves of the Company are not sufficient for the Company to remain operational.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell all the shares required. If we are successful, any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. As of the date of this registration statement, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. Our primary priority will be to retain our reporting status with the SEC which means that we will first ensure by being a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. that we have sufficient capital to cover our legal and accounting expenses. Once these costs are accounted for, in accordance with how much cash we are able to retain, we will focus on meeting all our planned expenses.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us to operate for at least one year and have the capital resources required to cover the material costs with becoming a publicly reporting. The Company anticipates over the next 12 months the cost of being a reporting public company will be approximately $10,000.
We are highly dependent upon the success of the private offerings of equity or debt securities, as described herein. Therefore, the failure thereof would result in the need to seek capital from other resources such as taking loans, which would likely not even be possible for the Company. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its equity or debt securities, or secure a loan, the Company would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investment.
Should the Company fail to sell less at least 50% of its shares under this offering the Company would be forced to scale back or abort completely the implementation of its 12-month plan of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumption in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes which codified SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and FIN 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Fail Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash.
Per Share Information
The Company computes net loss per share accordance with FASB ASC 205 Earnings per Share. FASB ASC 205 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
The Directors and Officers currently serving our Company is as follows:
Name (1) |
|
Age |
|
Positions and Offices |
Mr. Rashid Naeem |
|
41 |
|
President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director |
(1) c/o Sipup Corporation, Willy-Brandt-Anlage 20, 64823 Gross Umstadt, Germany.
The directors named above will serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or until their respective resignation or removal from office. Thereafter, directors are anticipated to be elected for one-year terms at the
25
annual stockholders meeting. Officers will hold their positions at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, absent any employment agreement, of which none currently exists or is contemplated.
Rashid Naeem, Age 41
Mr. Naeem has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and a Director since our inception on October 31, 2012. Since March 2012 he has planned the formation and operation of the Company. Mr. Naeem has been making plain and flavoured yogurts for his personal use for over twenty years. Mr. Naeem decided in March that he should start his own company that produces, packs, and sells flavoured yogurts. Prior to the formation of the company Mr. Naeem has been a wholesaler of bed sheets. He had them shipped in containers from Asia and sold them to storekeepers for a profit. These experiences, qualifications and attributes have led to our conclusion that Mr. Naeem should be serving as a member of our Board of Directors in light of our business and structure.
Director Independence
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to its sole director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each directors business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
Significant Employees and Consultants
Rashid Naeem, our sole officer and a director, is our only employees (though not employees for the purpose of determining employee status under tax laws).
Conflicts of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that
would have been performed by such committees are performed by our director. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early development stage company and has only one director, and to date, such director has been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our director has the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings that have occurred in the past 10 years concerning our sole officer and director which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting ones participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On November 19, 2012, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, we offered and sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and a director, Rashid Naeem, at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $3,000.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Bylaws provide to the fullest extent permitted by law that our directors or officers, former directors and officers, and persons who act at our request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which we are a shareholder or creditor shall be indemnified by us. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our By-laws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to provisions of the State of Nevada, the Company has been informed 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Sipup Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sipup Corporation, (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2012, and the related statement of operations, stockholder's deficit and cash flows from inception (October 31, 2012) to November 30, 2012. 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 audits.
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 audits 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 by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sipup Corporation (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2012, and results of its operations and its cash flows from inception (October 31, 2012) to November 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations and is in the development stage. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sipup Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2012
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Sipup Corporation ("Sipup" or the "Company") was incorporated on October 31, 2012, under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is in the development stage and is in the process of raising capital and developing its business plan. The Company intends to produce flavoured yogurts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net (loss) income per common share is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share adjusts the weighted average common shares for the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents (convertible debt and preferred stock, warrants, stock options and restricted stock shares and units) were exercised or converted into common stock. There were no common stock equivalents at November 30, 2012.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
A company is required to determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of November 30, 2012. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Recent Pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that apply to the Company.
Note 2. LOAN PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDER
During 2012 a stockholder advanced the Company $5,322 to pay expenses. The loan bears no interest and is payable on demand.

Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2012
Note 3. STOCKHOLDER'S DEFICIT
At inception (October 31, 2012), the Company issued a subscription agreement for 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share. The shares were issued on November 19, 2012 upon receipt of payment.
Note 4. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the difference are as follows:
Income tax provision at the federal |
|
|

statutory rate |

% |
As of November 30, 2012, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $6,000. This loss will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, this carry forward will expire in 2032. The deferred tax asset relating to the operating loss carry forward has been fully reserved at November 30, 2012 due to the uncertainty of its recognition.
Note 5. GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has experienced a loss from operations during its development stage as a result of its investment necessary to achieve its operating plan, which is long-range in nature. For the period from October 31, 2012 (inception) to November 30, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $6,000. In addition, the Company has no significant assets or revenue generating operations.
The Company does not have sufficient cash to sustain itself for the next 12 months, and will require additional funding in order to execute its plan of operations and to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Companys Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall, to the full extent permitted by the Nevada General Business Corporation Law, as amended from time to time (the Nevada Corporate Law), indemnify all of our directors and officers. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Corporate Law provides in part that a corporation shall have the power to 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation 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.
Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, if such person 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 provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct. Under our Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, the indemnitee is presumed to be entitled to indemnification and we have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption. Where an officer or a director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, we must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually or reasonably incurred. 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.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Within the past two years we have issued and sold the following securities without registration.
On November 19, 2012, we offered and sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director, at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $3,000. The offering was made to a non-U.S. person, offshore of the U.S., with no directed selling efforts in the U.S., where offering restrictions were implemented in a transaction pursuant to the exclusion from registration provided by Rule 903(b)(3) of Regulation S of the Securities Act.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i)
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) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) 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) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
39
(i)
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification 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, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, 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 counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(m)
the Purchaser understands and acknowledges that any projections or financial forecasts of the Company may likely prove to be incorrect in view of the early stage of the Companys development; and no assurance has been given to it that actual results will correspond in any meaningful way with the results contemplated by the various projections, financial forecasts or predictions; and
(n)
