such private restrictions on the transfer of the Shares as are designated from
time to time by the Company or its investment bankers or
underwriters.
8. Risk
Factors
The
securities offered hereby are speculative in nature and involve a high degree of
risk. They should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their
entire investment in the company, therefore, each prospective investor should,
prior to purchase, consider very carefully the following risk
factors:
8.1 Arbitrary Determination of
Stock Price The price of the Shares has been determined arbitrarily by
the Company. The price should not be regarded as an indication of any future
market price of the Company's stock and has no relation to the value of the
Company's stock.
5
8.2 Dependence on Key
Personnel The success of the Company is dependent on the
efforts and abilities of its current principal officer and director ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇. If the Company were to lose the services of such officers, its business
could be materially and adversely affected.
8.3 Audited Financial
Statements The Company has prepared or caused to be prepared current
financial statements. The balance sheet and income statement included therein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
8.4 Discretion in Application of
Proceeds In order to accommodate changing circumstances, the Company's
management may allocate the proceeds of this financing in accordance with its
needs and operation. Subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, the
Company's management will be given discretion in the application of the
proceeds.
8.5 Restrictions on
Transfer The Shares may not be resold unless such sale is registered or
qualifies for an exemption from registration under the Act and all applicable
state securities laws. The Shares should be considered a suitable investment
only for investors whose financial position is such that they will be able to
hold the Shares for an indefinite period. Some state laws may impose additional
restrictions on transfer of the Shares.
For all of the reasons stated in the
risk factors and others, including, without limitation, those set forth herein,
these shares involve a high degree of risk. Any person considering an investment
in the securities offered should be aware of these factors. These securities
should only be purchased by persons who can afford a total loss of their
investment in the company and have no immediate need for a return of or on their
investment.
