Description
of Business
The
Company
Action
Fashions, Ltd. is in the business of retail sports apparel sales. Our executive
offices are located at, P.O. Box 235472, Encinitas, California, 92024. Our
telephone number is (858) 229-8116. Our retail location is located at 2026
Lowe
Street, Fort Collins, CO 80525.
We
were
originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 22,
1990, as U.S.A. Connection, Inc. Since inception, the Company had no business
operations and lost its charter with the Colorado Secretary of State on April
1,
2004. The Company’s charter was reinstated on September 19, 2005 and on October
28, 2005, the Company filed the Articles of Amendment with the Colorado
Secretary of State changing its name to Action Fashions, Ltd. The Company’s
fiscal year end is March 31
st
.
The
Business
We
are a
specialty retailer of exercise, gymnastics, and dance apparel including
clothing, outfits, shoes and related accessories. Our retail outlet is presently
within the facilities of G.K. Gymnastics, Inc., a dance and gymnastics
school/studio located in Fort Collins, Colorado. By embedding our retail
facilities internally at the school we have been able to market to a captive
audience of dance and gymnastics students with minimal outside competition.
Our
goal is to expand the retail outlets from the current location to multiple
dance
and gymnastics schools throughout the country beginning with the State of
Colorado.
General
Market
The
gymnastics and dance markets continue to grow each year in the United States.
USA Gymnastics, the sole national governing body for the sport of gymnastics
in
the United States, maintained a membership base of 108,641 professional members
in 2005. In addition to these professional members, the organization estimates
there are over 3 Million recreational gymnasts and over 4,000 gymnastics clubs
throughout the country. General public interest for the sport as well has
continued to maintain record highs over the last few years. Gymnastics continues
to be the most popularly viewed Olympic sport. Over 40 million households tuned
into USA gymnastics telecasts on NBC Sports during the 2000 Olympic season.
Dance studios and schools as well continue to maintain a significant presence.
The US Census Bureau’s 2002 Economic Census reported approximately 6,500 dance
schools in the United States. In addition to schools, the Yellow Pages Directory
currently lists over 14,500 dance studios throughout the country.
Merchandise/Product
We
focus
on dance and gymnastics clothing and accessories. These items are distinguished
from normal women’s apparel in that dance and gymnastics apparel must be
comfortable and provide freedom of movement. Dancers and gymnasts need clothes
made from fabrics that breathe, are quick drying and transport moisture away
from the skin, to keep them dry and comfortable during intense workouts and
performances.
We
currently maintain distribution, franchise, consignment or similar supply
agreements with the following leading manufacturers of dance and gymnastics
apparel:
§

clothing
for the performer in dance, theater and recreation. For over 100

departments, YMCAs and individuals. Gibson manufactures and sources
equipment from around the world and throughout the U. S. in order
to
provide customers with the best equipment and supplies
available.
|
We
purchase our entire inventory from third-party suppliers or manufacturers.
We do
not own or operate any manufacturing facilities. Our products generally maintain
a 100% mark-up above wholesale. We maintain close relationships with our
suppliers and continually consult with them regarding developing fashion trends
so that we can respond quickly to our industry trends. Prior to delivery, we
regularly inspect our manufactured goods for quality based on materials, color
and sizing specifications. We believe that we have established relationships
with an adequate number of suppliers to meet our ongoing inventory needs and
that we have strong relationships with these suppliers. We have been purchasing
inventory from our various suppliers for many years. We do not have long-term
contracts with our suppliers, and we transact business principally on an
order-by-order basis.
We
are
presently located within the facilities of G.K. Gymnastics, Inc. dance and
gymnastics school/studio in Fort Collins, Colorado. By embedding the retail
facilities internally at the school/studio we are able to market to a captive
audience of dance and gymnastics students with minimal outside competition.
We
have found that the symbiotic relationship between the retail store and the
studio has both increased store sales and satisfied a consumer need for the
studio/school and its members. This relationship and location gives us a
considerable advantage over our competitors. Most sales outlets for dance and
gymnastics apparel exist in larger sporting goods stores, department stores
and
a limited number of specialty athletic clothing stores. By focusing our sales
on
our specific target market we believe we will be able to compete more
efficiently with larger retail competitors. By placing our store front locations
in areas of high target customer traffic with highly visible product placement
and creative store displays, we hope to attract an increased customer sales
base.
Personalized
customer service is highly emphasized at Action Fashions. Sales associates
are
experienced and trained to emphasize product knowledge, sport familiarity and
customer service. Personalized service is supplemented by store procedures
designed to allow the customer to efficiently make purchases and by merchandise
presentation.
We
have
historically not found a need for heavy outside marketing. We conduct limited
marketing and advertising, relying more on our individual store displays,
embedded locations and word-of-mouth to attract customers. Our product lines
are
supported by visual merchandising, which consists of window displays, table
layouts and various promotions. This type of marketing is an important component
of our marketing and promotion strategies since our embedded locations provide
significant target customer foot traffic.
In
addition to the existing location, we plan to aggressively expand our business
by implementing the same business plan currently in existence. We plan to expand
locations by placing them in existing gymnastics and dance schools and studios
throughout the county. While some studios may already maintain in-store retail
sales departments, we hope to market standard, prepackaged and uniform exercise,
gymnastics, and dance apparel retail outlets into these already existing
locations. The exercise and gymnastics apparel industry is not an easy industry
to break into. Many suppliers control the market for their products by limiting
the retail outlets they supply to. We maintain close relationships with the
suppliers of our clothing and accessories. By offering existing gyms a
prepackaged business model, complete with existing clothing and accessory supply
arrangements, we are able to provide the gymnastics and dance studios the needed
supply connections to existing clothing and accessory manufacturers.
Competitive
Business Conditions
The
retail gymnastics and dance apparel industry is competitive and highly
fragmented with no standout industry leaders. This type of apparel is usually
sold though sporting goods stores, department stores and a limited number of
specialty athletic clothing stores. We believe our target customers choose
to
purchase apparel based on the following factors: style and fashion, fit and
comfort, customer service, shopping convenience and environment and value and
we
believe that we have advantages over our competitors in meeting these needs.
Specifically, by locating our stores within dance and gymnastics studios, we
hope to gain a captive market of the studio’s students and members.
We
experience the normal seasonal pattern of the retail apparel industry with
our
peak sales occurring during the Christmas, back-to-school and spring periods.
In
addition, we also experience additional sales and interest increases in cyclical
periods surrounding the Summer Olympics. To keep merchandise fresh and
fashionable, slow-moving merchandise is marked down throughout the year.
Distribution
Methods of the Products
We
currently market our products to a limited captive market based on its current
location. Products are sold on site with little distribution and shipping costs.
We project revenue increase from future expansion by adding additional retail
outlets in various target market areas throughout the country.
Dependence
on One or a Few Major Customers
We
are
highly dependent on our customer base derived from the location of our
facilities. By its nature, our competitive advantage of internal store locations
places us at the mercy of the studios/schools where our facilities are or will
be located. In the event the studio/school ceases operations or loses its
facility, we may lose a key retailer and major customer supplier.
Patents,
trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor
contracts, including duration;
We
do not
have any designs which are copyrighted, trademarked or patented.
Effect
of existing or probable governmental regulations on the
business
The
effects of existing or probable government regulations are minimal.
Research
and Development
We
do not
foresee any immediate future research and development costs.
Costs
and effects of compliance with environmental laws
The
expense of complying with environmental regulations is of minimal
consequence.
Number
of total employees and number of full time employees.
We
have
two part-time staff workers. We do not have any fully time employees.
Item
1a. Risk Factors
An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in
this
registration statement before investing in our common stock. Our business and
results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks.
The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these
risks.
Risks
Related to Our Industry
Customer
tastes and fashion trends are volatile and tend to change rapidly.
Our
success depends in part on management's ability to effectively predict and
respond to changing fashion tastes and consumer demands, and to translate market
trends into appropriate, saleable product offerings far in advance. If we are
unable to successfully predict or respond to changing styles or trends and
misjudge the market for our products or any new product lines, our sales will
be
lower and we may be faced with a substantial amount of unsold inventory or
missed opportunities. In response, we may be forced to rely on additional
markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of excess, slow-moving inventory,
which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. Compared to our retail segments, our wholesale
business is more sensitive to changes in fashion trends because of longer lead
times in the design and manufacture of its apparel.
The
specialty retail apparel business is highly cyclical and is sensitive to
economic conditions and consumer spending.
The
specialty retail apparel business historically has been subject to cyclical
variations. Consumer purchases of discretionary retail items and specialty
retail products, including our products and those sold in our stores, may
decline during recessionary periods and also may decline at other times when
disposable income is lower. A prolonged economic downturn could have a material
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Existing
and increased competition in the specialty retail apparel business may reduce
our net revenues, profits and market share.
The
specialty retail apparel business is highly competitive. Our retail segment
competes against a wide variety of small, independent specialty stores as well
as department stores, national specialty chains and catalog and Internet-based
retailers. In addition, some of our suppliers offer products directly to
consumers. Many of our competitors are considerably larger and have
substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have.
We
cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to compete successfully
against existing or future competitors. Our expansion into markets served by
our
competitors and entry of new competitors or expansion of existing competitors
into our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
A
downturn in the economy may affect consumer purchases of discretionary items
and
could harm our operating results.
In
general, our sales represent discretionary spending by our customers.
Discretionary spending on our products is affected by many factors, including,
among others:
§
|
general
business conditions;
|
§
|
the
availability of consumer credit;
|
§
|
the
number of new and second home purchases;
|
§
|
terrorist
attacks and acts of war; and
|
§
|
other
matters that influence consumer confidence and spending.
|
Purchases
of discretionary items, including the products we sell, could decline during
periods when disposable income is lower or during periods of actual or perceived
unfavorable economic conditions. If this occurs, our operating results could
suffer.
Terrorist
attacks and threats or actual war may negatively affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our
business is affected by general economic conditions and fluctuations in consumer
confidence and spending, which can decline as a result of numerous factors
outside of our control, such as terrorist attacks and acts of war. Recent
terrorist attacks in the United States, as well as events occurring in response
to or in connection with them, including future terrorist attacks against U.S.
targets, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the United States
or its allies, or military or trade disruptions impacting our suppliers or
our
customers, may adversely impact our operations. It is possible that any or
a
combination of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
are a development stage company and we have limited
history.
We
are a
development stage company that has limited operations. Our plans and businesses
are “proposed” and “intended” but we may not be able to successfully implement
them. Our primary business purpose is the expansion of our retail sports apparel
sales business. As a development stage company we are subject to all of the
risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays, problems, and difficulties typically
encountered in the establishment of a new business. We expect that unanticipated
expenses, problems, and technical difficulties will occur and that they will
result in material delays in the development of our projects. We may not obtain
sufficient capital or achieve a significant level of operations and, even if
we
do, we may not be able to conduct such operations on a profitable basis.
If
we are unable to maintain the profitability of our existing store and profitably
open and operate new stores, we may not be able to adequately implement our
growth strategy, which may adversely affect our overall operating results.
Our
planned growth depends, in part, on our ability to maintain the profitability
of
our existing store and open new stores. There can be no assurance, however,
that
we will be able to identify and obtain favorable store sites, arrange favorable
leases for stores, obtain governmental and other third-party consents, permits
and licenses needed to expand or operate stores, construct or refurbish stores,
open stores in a timely manner, or hire, train and integrate qualified sales
associates in those stores. If we are unable to profitably open and operate
stores and maintain the profitability of our existing stores, we may not be
able
to adequately implement our growth strategy, which may adversely affect our
overall operating results.
Our
future expansion into new, unfamiliar markets presents increased risks that
may
prevent us from being profitable in these new markets.
As
we
expand and grow, we plan to enter new markets where we believe we can achieve
a
potential market share. Until we attain a market share in a new market, we
anticipate that the initial stores opened in that new market will not achieve
targeted operating results. In addition to the factors described above relating
to our ability to profitably open and operate new stores, factors that may
affect the performance of new stores in new, unfamiliar markets include the
rate
of new store openings within a new market and the speed with which we achieve
market leadership in that market, the success of advertising and marketing
program in new markets, our ability to hire and retain a sufficient number
of
qualified employees, our ability to attract customers due to lack of brand
familiarity and other considerations. In addition, entry into new markets may
bring us into competition with new, unfamiliar competitors. We cannot assure
you
that we will be successful in opening or operating our stores in new markets
on
a profitable basis.
The
loss of the services of any members of our management team could impair our
ability to execute our business strategy and as a result, reduce our sales
and
profitability.
We
depend
on the continued services of our management team. The loss of such key personnel
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to execute our business
strategy and on our financial condition and results of operations. We do not
maintain key-person insurance for members of our senior management team. We
may
have difficulty replacing members of our management team who leave and,
therefore, the loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm
our
business.
Our
planned growth together with our added obligations of being a public company
may
strain our business infrastructure, which could adversely affect our operations
and financial condition.
We
expect
to grow at a rapid pace. As we grow, we will face the risk that our existing
resources and systems may be inadequate to support our growth. We may also
face
new challenges, including an increase in information to be processed by our
management information systems and diversion of management attention and
resources away from existing operations and towards the opening of new and
relocated stores and new markets. Our current growth strategy will require
us to
increase our management and other resources over the next few years. In
particular, heightened new standards with respect to internal accounting and
other controls, as well as other resource-intensive requirements of being a
public company, may further strain our business infrastructure. If we are unable
to manage our planned growth and maintain effective controls, systems and
procedures, we would be unable to efficiently operate and manage our business
and may experience errors or information lapses affecting our public reporting,
either of which could adversely effect our operations and financial condition.
We
need to continue to attract qualified employees.
Our
future success depends in large part upon our ability to attract, train, retain
and motivate employees. Qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and
number needed to fill positions are in short supply in some areas. The retail
industry is characterized by high levels of employee attrition. Although we
believe we offer competitive salaries and benefits, we may have to increase
spending in order to retain personnel.
Our
expansion strategy will be dependent upon the availability of adequate capital.
Our
expansion strategy will require additional capital for, among other purposes,
opening new and relocated stores, renovating existing stores and entering new
markets, including researching existing and new real estate and consumer
markets, lease costs, inventory, property and equipment, integration of new
stores and markets into company-wide systems and programs and other costs
associated with new store, renovated and relocated store and market entry
expenses and growth. If cash generated internally is insufficient to fund
capital requirements, or if funds are not available, we will require additional
debt or equity financing. Adequate financing may not be available or, if
available, may not be available on terms satisfactory to us. If we fail to
obtain sufficient additional capital in the future, we could be forced to
curtail our expansion, renovation and relocation strategies by reducing or
delaying capital expenditures relating to new stores, renovated and relocated
stores and new market entry, selling assets or restructuring or refinancing
our
indebtedness. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
fund our current plans for the opening of new stores, the expansion, renovation
and relocation of existing stores or entry into new markets
.
We
depend on a number of suppliers and any failure by any of them to supply us
with
products may impair our inventory and adversely affect our ability to meet
customer demands, which could result in a decrease in net sales.
We
typically do not maintain long-term purchase contracts with suppliers, but
instead operate principally on a purchase order basis. Our current suppliers
may
not continue to sell products to us on current terms or at all, and we may
not
be able to establish relationships with new suppliers to ensure delivery of
products in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us. We may not be able
to
acquire desired merchandise in sufficient quantities on terms acceptable to
us
in the future. Our business could also be adversely affected if there were
delays in product shipments to us due to freight difficulties, financial
difficulties with our major suppliers, delays due to the difficulties of our
suppliers involving strikes or other difficulties at their principal transport
providers or otherwise. We are also dependent on suppliers for assuring the
quality of merchandise supplied to us. Our inability to acquire suitable
merchandise in the future or the loss of one or more of our suppliers and our
failure to replace them may harm our relationship with our customers and our
ability to attract new customers, resulting in a decrease in net sales.
We
may not have sufficient funds to operate our business and may not be able to
obtain additional financing.
If
we do
not operate within our budget, we will require additional funds to continue
our
business. We may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed, on
acceptable terms, or at all, which would force us to delay our plans for growth
and implementation of our strategy which could seriously harm our business,
financial condition, and results of operations. If we need additional funds,
we
may seek to obtain them primarily through stock or debt financings. Those
additional financings could result in dilution to our stockholders.
Failure
to fund continued capital expenditures could adversely affect
results.
If
our
anticipated revenues substantially decrease as a result of market fluctuations
or otherwise, we may have a limited ability to expend the capital necessary
to
maintain business operations at expected levels, resulting in a decrease in
revenue over time. Historically, we have financed these expenditures primarily
with proceeds from debt and equity financings. We believe that we will have
sufficient cash flow from operations and financings to fund capital
expenditures. However, if our cash flow from anticipated operations is not
sufficient to satisfy our capital expenditure requirements, there can be no
assurance that additional debt or equity financing or other sources of capital
will be available to meet these requirements.
Costs
of legal matters and regulation could exceed estimates.
We
may
become parties to a number of legal and administrative proceedings involving
matters pending in various courts or agencies. These include proceedings
associated with facilities currently or previously owned, operated or leased
by
us and include claims for personal injuries and property damages. It is not
possible for us to estimate reliably the amount and timing of all future
expenditures related to legal matters and other contingencies.
Any
projections used in this registration statement may not be accurate.
Any
and
all projections and estimates contained in this registration statement or
otherwise prepared by us are based on information and assumptions which
management
believes
to
be
accurate; however, they are mere projections and no assurance can be given
that
actual performance will match or approximate the projections.
Our
estimates may prove to be inaccurate and future net cash flows are
uncertain.
Our
estimates of both future sales and the timing of development expenditures are
uncertain and may prove to be inaccurate. We also make certain assumptions
regarding net cash flows and operating and development costs that may prove
incorrect when judged against our actual experience. Any significant variance
from these assumptions could greatly affect our estimates of future net cash
flows and our ability to borrow under our credit facility.
Risks
Related to this Offering and our Stock
Requirements
associated with being a public company will require significant company
resources and management attention.
Prior
to
this offering, we had not been subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the other rules and regulations of the
SEC
or any securities exchange relating to public companies. We are working with
independent legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas
in
which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems
to
manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include
corporate governance, corporate control, internal audit, disclosure controls
and
procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and
will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal
controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot assure you that these
and
other measures we may take will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our
obligations as a public company on a timely basis.
In
addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly
for
us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors' and officers'
liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and
coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar
coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for
us to
attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our
board committees or as executive officers.
We
require substantial capital requirements to finance our
operations.
We
have
substantial anticipated capital requirements. Although we believe we have
sufficient capital to fund current operations, we may require additional capital
for future operations. We plan to finance anticipated ongoing expenses and
capital requirements with funds generated from the following
sources:
§
|
cash
provided by operating activities;
|
§
|
available
cash and cash investments; and
|
§
|
capital
raised through debt and equity
offerings.
|
Although
we believe the funds provided by these sources will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated cash requirements, the uncertainties and risks associated with
future performance and revenues will ultimately determine our liquidity and
our
ability to meet anticipated capital requirements. If declining prices cause
our
anticipated revenues to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to replace
our inventory. As a result, our production and revenues would decrease over
time
and may not be sufficient to satisfy our projected capital expenditures. We
may
not be able to obtain additional financing in such a circumstance.
Our
stock price could be extremely volatile and, as a result, you may not be able
to
resell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.
Before
this offering there has not been a public market for our common stock, and
an
active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after
this offering. Further, the market price of our common stock may decline below
the price you paid for your shares.
Among
the
factors that could affect our stock price are:
§
|
industry
trends and the business success of our vendors;
|
§
|
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and operating
results, including our comparable store sales;
|
§
|
our
failure to meet the expectations of the investment community and
changes
in investment community recommendations or estimates of our future
operating results;
|
§
|
strategic
moves by our competitors, such as product announcements or acquisitions;
|
§
|
regulatory
developments;
|
§
|
general
market conditions;
|
§
|
other
domestic and international macroeconomic factors unrelated to our
performance; and
|
§
|
additions
or departures of key personnel.
|
The
stock
market has from time to time experienced extreme volatility that has often
been
unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These kinds
of
broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
In
the
past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's
securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. If
a
securities class action suit is filed against us, we would incur substantial
legal fees and our management's attention and resources would be diverted from
operating our business in order to respond to the litigation.
We
may need to raise additional money before we achieve profitability; if we fail
to raise additional money, it could be difficult to continue our business.
Based
on our
current plans, we may not have sufficient financial resources to meet our
operating expenses and capital requirements. We may seek additional funding
through public or private financing or through collaborative arrangements with
strategic partners.
You
should be aware that in the future:
§
|
we
may not obtain additional financial resources when necessary or on
terms
favorable to us, if at all;
|
§
|
any
available additional financing may not be adequate;
and
|
§
|
we
may be required to sell shares of our common stock at extremely discounted
prices in order for us to obtain additional
financing.
|
If
we
cannot raise additional funds when needed, or on acceptable terms, we will
not
be able to continue to operate.
Issuing
preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common stock could adversely
affect holders of common stock.
Our
charter documents give our board of directors the authority to issue series
of
preferred stock without a vote or action by our stockholders. The board also
has
the authority to determine the terms of preferred stock, including price,
preferences and voting rights. The rights granted to holders of preferred stock
may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock. For example,
a
series of preferred stock may be granted the right to receive a liquidation
preference - a pre-set distribution in the event of a liquidation - that would
reduce the amount available for distribution to holders of common stock. In
addition, the issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for
a
third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. As a result,
common stockholders could be prevented from participating in transactions that
would offer an optimal price for their shares.
We
do not anticipate paying dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable
future.
We
do not
anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend
to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of
our
business. In addition, the terms of the instruments governing our existing
debt
and any future debt or credit facility may preclude us from paying any
dividends.
You
will suffer immediate and substantial dilution.
The
initial public offering price of our common stock will be substantially higher
than the book value per share of our outstanding common stock. If you purchase
common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution
in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock from the price
you
paid. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities;
our stockholders may experience substantial additional dilution.
Currency
risks and fluctuations could negatively impact our
company.
We
anticipate that some of our revenues may be received in currencies other than
US
Dollars. Foreign currency can fluctuate against the US dollar in which the
Company’s financial statements are prepared. There is no assurance that any
currency exchange will be favorable and given that some or our major expenses
are fixed in US dollars, our operating results could be negatively impacted
by
such currency fluctuations.

Plan
of Operation
We
currently have one retail outlet operating inside a gymnastics school located
in
Fort Collins, Colorado. We are considering opening a second location in another
gymnastic school located in Loveland, Colorado. Our long term goals are to
expand into multiple retail outlets dance and gymnastics studios and schools
throughout the county starting initially in the State of Colorado, followed
by
the in the western United States then expanding throughout the rest of the
county.
While
most dance and gymnastics studios and schools do offer some retail sales of
apparel, it is typically haphazard and unorganized. Our goal is to offer a
pre-packaged program that will allow the studios and schools to offer their
captive customers dance and gymnastics apparel from a small retail store within
their existing facility without the cost and burden of establishing the retail
store, seeking vendors and/or purchasing large amounts of inventory.
By
locating our retail outlets internally at the facilities we are able to market
to a captive audience of dance and gymnastics students with minimal outside
competition. Our goal is to provide standardized, prepackaged and uniform
exercise, gymnastics, and dance apparel retail outlets in existing locations.
The exercise and gymnastics apparel industry is not an easy industry to break
into. Many suppliers control the market for their products by limiting the
retail outlets they supply to. We maintain close relationships with the
suppliers of our clothing and accessories. By offering existing gyms a
prepackaged business model, complete with existing clothing and accessory supply
arrangements, we are able to provide the gyms the needed supply connections
to
existing clothing and accessory manufacturers. While our primary growth strategy
will continue to be through organic growth, we would consider, under certain
circumstances, franchising out operations.

Description
of Securities.
The
following description of our capital stock is a summary of the material terms
of
our capital stock. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety
by
our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and by the applicable provisions
of
Colorado law.
The
authorized capital stock of Action Fashions consists of 510,000,000 shares
of
stock consisting of (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per
share (the “Common Stock”) of which 545,900 shares are issued and outstanding,
and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share (the
“Preferred Stock”) of which no shares have been issued. Stockholders do not have
any preemptive or subscription rights to purchase shares in any future issuance
of Action Fashions common stock. There are no options, warrants or other
instruments convertible into shares outstanding.
Common
Stock
The
Board
of Directors is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, of
which
545,900 shares have been issued and are outstanding. Each share of our common
stock is entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions with respect
to our common stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from
funds legally available therefore. No holder of any shares of common stock
has
any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities. Upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of Action Fashions, the assets will be divided pro
rata on a share-for-share basis among holders of the shares of common stock
after any required distribution to the holders of preferred stock, if any.
All
shares of common stock outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable.
Dividend
Policy
Subject
to any preferential rights of any series of preferred stock, holders of shares
of common stock will be entitled to receive dividends on the stock out of assets
legally available for distribution when, as and if authorized and declared
by
our Board of Directors. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on
our
common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds for use in
our
business and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Any future determination relating to dividend policy will
be
made by the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on a number
of
factors, including the future earnings, capital requirements, financial
condition and future prospects and such other factors as our Board of Directors
may deem relevant. Payment of dividends on the common stock may be restricted
by
loan agreements, indentures and other transactions entered into by us from
time
to time. We do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on our common stock
in the foreseeable future.
Voting
Rights
Holders
of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on
generally by the stockholders, including the election of directors, and, except
as otherwise required by law or except as provided with respect to any series
of
preferred stock, the holders of the shares possess all voting power. The holders
of shares of common stock of Action Fashions do not have cumulative voting
rights in connection with the election of the board of directors, which means
that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting for the
election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they
so
choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be
able
to elect any of Action Fashions directors.
Liquidation
Rights
Subject
to any preferential rights of any series of preferred stock, holders of shares
of common stock are entitled to share ratably in our assets legally available
for distribution to our stockholders in the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up.
Absence
of Other Rights
Holders
of common stock have no preferential, preemptive, conversion or exchange
rights.
Miscellaneous
All
shares of common stock being offered by the registration statement will be
fully
paid and not liable to further calls or assessment by us.
Preferred
Stock
The
Board
of Directors is authorized, without further shareholder approval, to issue
from
time to time up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No
preferred stock is issued and outstanding at this time. The preferred stock
may
be issued in one or more series and the Board of Directors may fix the rights,
preferences and designations thereof. No shares of preferred stock are currently
outstanding and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in
connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have
the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of
discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting
stock.
PART
II

Market
Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters
|
There
is
no public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that a
market will develop or that any stockholder will be able to liquidate his
investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should develop,
the price may be highly volatile. In addition, an active public market for
our
common stock may not develop or be sustained. For additional information, see
“Risk Factors” above.
As
of the
date of this registration statement, there are approximately 37 holders of
record of our common stock.
We
have
never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We anticipate
that in the future we will retain any earnings for the development and operation
of our business. Accordingly, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any
cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We
currently have no Equity Compensation Plans.
Item
2.
Legal
Proceedings
From
time

our

federal, state and local laws and regulations. Currently, we are not involved,
or the subject of, any pending or existing litigation.

Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On
September 16, 2005 we issued 500 shares of our common stock to Mike Keefe who
was then acting as our Resident Agent in the State of Colorado. Those shares
were issued to Mr. Keefe in connection with his services as compensation for
services rendered to us. For that transaction, we relied on Section 4(2) of
the
Securities Act of1933, as amended (“the “Act”) because the transaction did not
involve a public offering and was therefore exempt from the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.
On
March
28, 2006, we issued 500,000 shares of our common stock to Phillip E. Koehnke
who
is our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary,
and Director. Those shares were issued to Mr. Koehnke upon conversion of
principal of a convertible note held by Mr. Koehnke. For that transaction,
we
relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended because the
transaction did not involve a public offering and was therefore exempt from
the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of
1933.

7-109-102.
Authority to indemnify directors
(1)
Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, a corporation may
indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding because the person is or was
a
director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:
(a)
The
person's conduct was in good faith; and
(b)
The
person reasonably believed:
(I)
In
the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that such
conduct was in the corporation's best interests; and
(II)
In
all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's
best interests; and

believe the person's conduct was unlawful.
(2)
A
director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the

the
requirements of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of this section.
(3)
The
termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative
that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this
section.

corporation may not indemnify a director under this section:
(a)
In
connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which
the

An
officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 7-109-103, and
is
entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under section 7-109-105,
in
each case to the same extent as a director;
(b)

corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as to a director;
and
(c)
A
corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent who is not a director to a greater extent, if not
inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by its bylaws, general
or
specific action of its board of directors or shareholders, or
contract.
Charter
Provisions
Our
Amended Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of our officers
and directors as follows:
Article
IX: Limitation of Liability
To
the
fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, as the same exists or may hereafter
be
amended, a director or officer of this corporation shall not be liable to the
corporation or it’s stockholders for monetary damages as a result of any act or
failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer; provided, however,
that
this article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer
if it is proven that his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his
fiduciary duties and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or
a
knowing violation of the law.
Article
X: Indemnification
This
corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of any person who was
or is
a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the
corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability
incurred in connection with such proceedings, including any appeal thereof,
through bylaw provisions, or though agreements with such persons, or both,
to
the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law.
Bylaws
Our
bylaws provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors as
follows:
ARTICLE
VI
INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,
AND
OTHER
AGENTS
Section
1
ACTIONS
OTHER THAN BY THE CORPORATION
.
The
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except
an
action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he
is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has
no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon
a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which
he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he
had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section2
ACTIONS
BY THE CORPORATION
.
The
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid
in
settlement and attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted
in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for
any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom,
to
be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action

REPORT
OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Director and Shareholders
Action
Fashions, Ltd.:
We
have
audited the balance sheet of Action Fashions, Ltd. as of March 31, 2006, and
the
related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash
flows for the year ended March 31, 2006. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Action Fashions, Ltd. as of March
31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
ended March 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements,
the Company has a limited operating history and limited funds, which raises
a
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of
this uncertainty.

Fashions, Ltd.
Notes
to the Financial Statements
NOTE
1.
SUMMARY
OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a.
Organization
The
Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado
on
June 22, 1990, as U.S.A. Connection, Inc. Since inception, the Company had
no
business operations and lost its charter with the Colorado Secretary of State
on
April 1, 2004. The Company’s charter was reinstated on September 19, 2005 and on
October 28, 2005, the Company filed the Articles of Amendment with the Colorado
Secretary of State changing its name to Action Fashions, Ltd. The Company’s
fiscal year end is March 31
st
.
The
Company’s executive offices are currently located at, P.O. Box 235472,
Encinitas, California, 92024. The Telephone number is (858) 229-8116. The
Company’s retail location is located at 2026 Lowe Street, Fort Collins, CO
80525.
b.
Accounting Method
The
Company’s policy is to use the accrual method of accounting to prepare and
present financial
statements,
which conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The company
has
elected a March 31, year-end.
c.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months
or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
d.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The Company's financial statements include amounts that are
based on management's best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
e.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of average cost (which approximates computation on
a
first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value or replacement
cost).
f.
Revenue Recognition
For
product sales, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment, and reserves
are
established for price protection and cooperative marketing programs with
distributors.
g.
Earnings per share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares
(the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share
is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased
to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.
At
March
31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately 47,500,000 and
47,500,000 (unaudited), respectively, potentially dilutive common shares related
to the convertible promissory note held by the CEO.
h.
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
“Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
i.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No.
123 (R) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS
No. 123 (R) focuses primarily on the accounting for transactions in which an
entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS
No.
123 (R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the
cost
of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments
based
on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). SFAS
No.
123 (R) is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005 for non-small business issuers and after December 15,
2005 for small business issuers. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No.
123 (R) in its period ending December 31, 2005. The Company is currently
evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) and has not yet determined the
impact, if any, that SFAS No. 123 (R) will have on its financial statement
presentation or disclosures
.
In
May
2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 that establishes new standards on accounting
for changes in accounting principals. Pursuant to the new rules, all such
changes must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial
statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154
completely replaces Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion 20 and SFAS
3,
though it carries forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect
to
accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity, and the
correction of errors. This statement is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 31,
2005.
The
adoption of these pronouncements will not have a material effect on the
Company’s financial position or results of operation.
j.
Interim Financial Statements
In
the
opinion of management, the September 30, 2006 unaudited, interim financial
statements include all adjustments which are necessary in order to make the
financial statements not misleading.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial
statements, the Company has a limited operating history and limited funds.
These
factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue
as a going concern.
The
Company is dependent upon outside financing to continue operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the
outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s plans to raise necessary funds
via a private placement of its common stock to satisfy the expense requirements
of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise
necessary funds, or that if it is successful in raising the necessary funds,
that the Company will successfully operate its business plan.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of assets and/or liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our
continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet our
obligations on a timely basis, and, ultimately to attain profitability.

common stock at a price per share equal to the Conversion Price equal to (i)
$0.01 per share or, if the Company has its common stock trading in the public
market, (ii) the current “Market Price,” which shall be equal to fifty percent
(50%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s
common stock as reported by the principal market for the thirty trading days
preceding the date of conversion. In the event of default, the entire
outstanding principal of the note is convertible into restricted shares of
the
Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the Conversion
Price.
The
Company issued the CEO 500,000 shares of its restricted common stock during

the
books of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the corporation for
the
purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the corporation’s books or is
given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or telegram
to
the corporation’s principal executive office, or if published at least once in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county where this office is located.
Personal delivery of any such notice to any officer of a corporation or
association or to any member of a partnership shall constitute delivery of
such
notice to such corporation, association or partnership. Notice shall be deemed
to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the
mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication. In the event
of the transfer of stock after delivery or mailing of the notice of and prior
to
the holding of the meeting, it shall not be necessary to deliver or mail notice
of the meeting to the transferee.
If
any
notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing
on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United
States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service
is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at such address, all future
notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further
mailing if the same shall be available to the stockholder upon written demand
of
the stockholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a
period of one year from the date of the giving of such notice.
An
affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any
stockholders’ meeting shall be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or
any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed
and
maintained in the minute book of the corporation.
Business
transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the
purposes stated in the notice.
Section
6.
QUORUM
.
The
presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares
entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or the
articles of incorporation. The stockholders present at a duly called or held
meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave
less
than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by
at
least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.
Section
7.
ADJOURNED
MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF
.
Any
stockholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present,
may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares
represented at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence
of
a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting.
When
any
meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another
time
or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and
place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken.
At
any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might
have
been transacted at the original meeting.
Section
8.
VOTING
.
Unless
a record date set for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 1 of
Article VIII of these bylaws, only persons in whose names shares entitled to
vote stand on the stock records of the corporation at the close of business
on
the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given (or, if notice
is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the
day
on which the meeting is held) shall be entitled to vote at such meeting. Any
stockholder entitled to vote on any matter other than elections of directors
or
officers, may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain
from
voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the
stockholder fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder is voting
affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder’s approving
vote is with respect to all shares such stockholder is entitled to vote. Such
vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections
for directors must be by ballot upon demand by a stockholder at any election
and
before the voting begins.
When
a
quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of
a
majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented
by
proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question
is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the articles of
incorporation a different vote is required in which case such express provision
shall govern and control the decision of such question. Every stockholder of
record of the corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders
to
one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the
corporation.
Section
9.
WAIVER
OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT
STOCKHOLDERS
.
The
transactions at any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however
called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a
meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either
in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person
entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver
of
notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes
thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business
to
be transacted or the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders,
except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any
of
those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 4 of this
Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature
of such proposal. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with
the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Attendance
of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of such
meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to
the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right
to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice if such
objection is expressly made at the meeting.
Section
10.
STOCKHOLDER
ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
.
Any
action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders
may
be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing,
setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding
shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary
to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled
to
vote thereon were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with
the
secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records.
Any stockholder giving a written consent, or the stockholder’s proxy holders, or
a transferee of the shares of a personal representative of the stockholder
of
their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received
by
the secretary of the corporation prior to the time that written consents of
the
number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed
with
the secretary.
Section
11.
PROXIES
.
Every
person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the
right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written
proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the corporation.
A
proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy
(whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or
otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney in fact. A validly
executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in
full force and effect unless revoked by the person executing it, prior to the
vote pursuant thereto, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that
the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at
the
meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy; provided,
however, that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6)
months from the date of such proxy, unless coupled with an interest, or unless
the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is
to
continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date
of its execution. Subject to the above and Colorado Law, any proxy duly executed
is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until an instrument
revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the
secretary of the corporation.
Section
12.
INSPECTORS
OF ELECTION
.
Before
any meeting of stockholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons
other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting
or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are appointed, the chairman
of
the meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or his proxy shall,
appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall
be
either one (1) or three (3). If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the
request of one or more stockholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of
shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one
(1)
or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as
inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled
by appointment by the board of directors before the meeting, or by the chairman
at the meeting.
The
duties of these inspectors shall be as follows:
(a)
Determine
the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares
represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity,
validity, and effect of proxies;
(b)
Receive
votes, ballots, or consents;
(c)
Hear
and
determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with
the
right to vote;

Do
any
other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness
to
all stockholders.

hereby expressly declared that the directors shall have the power and authority
to:
(a)

Section
2.

The
number of directors which shall constitute the whole board shall not be less
than one (1) nor more than seven (7). The exact number of authorized directors
shall be set by resolution of the board of directors, within the limits
specified above. The maximum or minimum number of directors cannot be changed,

Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the stockholders to hold
office until the next annual meeting, but if any such annual meeting is not

elected at any special meeting of stockholders held for that purpose, or at
the
next annual meeting of stockholders held thereafter. Each director, including
a
director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration
of
the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified

the
board, the president, the secretary or the board of directors of the
corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness
of
such resignation, in which case such resignation shall be effective at the
time
specified. Unless such resignation specifies otherwise, its acceptance by the
corporation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The board of directors
may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound
mind by an order of a court or convicted of a felony. Any or all of the
directors may be removed without cause of such removal is approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
No

removing any director before his term of office expires.
Section
5.
VACANCIES
.
Vacancies in the board of directors, may be filled by a majority of the
remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
Each director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of
the
stockholders and until a successor has been elected and qualified.
A
vacancy
in the board of directors exists as to any authorized position of directors
which is not then filled by a duly elected director, whether caused by death,
resignation, removal, increase in the authorized number of directors or
otherwise.

is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of

no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon

plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which

corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid
in
settlement and attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted
in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for
any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom,
to
be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action
or
suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon

proper.

the
board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were
not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;
(c)
If

act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written

they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit
or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or
officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered

and goodwill of the Company. The Employee further acknowledges that the breach
of any of the agreements contained herein, including, without limitation, the
confidentiality covenants specified in Section 8 and the non-solicitation
covenants specified in Section 10 will give rise to irreparable injury to
the Company, inadequately compensable in damages. Accordingly, the Company
shall
be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or cure breaches or threatened
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specific performance
of the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction,
in
