PART I
Item 1. Business
Laffin Acquisition Corp. was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on November 9, 2020. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing.
The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination and has made no efforts to identify a possible business combination.
As a result, the Company has not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business. The business
purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger with, an existing company. The Company selected December 31st as
its fiscal year end.
The Company, based on proposed business activities,
is a “blank check” company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as
“any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act, and that
has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.”
Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal
assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $9,558 in cash, and its auditors have
issued an opinion raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Many states have enacted statutes, rules
and regulations limiting the sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does
not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully
concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long
as it is subject to those requirements.
The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate
and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation.
The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential
through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate
target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The Company
has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. The Company’s
plan of operation for the remainder of the fiscal year and beyond such time shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition
candidates. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not identified any specific milestones to be achieved by any specific date.
During the remainder of the fiscal year and beyond
such time, we anticipate incurring costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports, and investigating, analyzing and consummating
an acquisition. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through the use of funds to be loaned by or invested in us by our stockholders,
management or other investors. Our management and stockholders have indicated their intent to advance funds on behalf of the Company as
needed in order to accomplish its business plan and comply with its Exchange Act reporting requirements; however, there are no agreements
in effect between the Company and our management and stockholders specifically requiring that they provide any funds to the Company. As
a result, there are no assurances that such funds will be advanced or that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding as
needed.
The analysis of new business opportunities will
be undertaken by or under the supervision of the Company’s management. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not entered
into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate
regarding business opportunities for the Company. While the Company has limited assets and no revenues, the Company has unrestricted flexibility
in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities in that it may seek out a target company in any type of business,
industry or geographical location. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Company will consider the following kinds
of factors:
1
(f) the extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced; and
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of
which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based on reasonable
investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at
various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities
extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Registrant’s limited capital available for investigation, the Registrant may not discover
or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired. In addition, we will be competing against other entities that
possess greater financial, technical and managerial capabilities for identifying and completing business combinations.
In evaluating a prospective business combination,
we will conduct as extensive a due diligence review of potential
targets as possible given the lack of information that may be available regarding private companies and our limited personnel and financial
resources. We expect that our due diligence will encompass, among other things, meetings with the target business’s incumbent management,
an inspection of its facilities, as necessary and a review of financial and other information, which is made available to us.
This due diligence review will be conducted either
by our management or by unaffiliated third parties we may engage, including but not limited to attorneys, accountants, consultants or
other such professionals. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not specifically identified any third parties that it may engage.
The costs associated with hiring third parties as required to complete a business combination may be significant and are difficult to
determine as such costs may vary depending on a variety of factors, including the amount of time it takes to complete a business combination,
the location of the target company, and the size and complexity of the business of the target company.
While the Company does not intend to retain any
entity to act as a “finder”, the Company’s management, through its various contacts and affiliations with other entities,
including Montrose Capital Partners Limited (“Montrose Capital”), a privately held company that focuses on identifying public
markets venture capital investment opportunities in high-growth early-stage companies, may assist in making introductions to candidates
for a potential business combination. Montrose Capital is sector agnostic; through its principal owners, it has identified and invested
in a wide spectrum of global industries, including biotechnology, specialty pharmaceuticals, medical devices, robotics, and technology.
Montrose Capital may further assist the Company with due diligence by identifying a business combination target. Ian Jacobs, a stockholder
and director and the sole officer of the Company, is an associate of Montrose Capital. Mark Tompkins, a stockholder and director of the
Company, is an officer and principal owner of Montrose Capital. Except as described herein, there are currently no other agreements or
preliminary understandings between us and Montrose Capital. As of the date of this filing, Montrose Capital has not introduced any specific
candidate for a potential business combination to the Company.
Our limited funds and the lack of full-time management
will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a target business before we consummate
a business combination. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis,
market surveys and the like which, if we had more funds available to us, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making
decisions upon information provided by the promoters, owners, sponsors or others associated with the target business seeking our participation.
2
The time and costs required to select and evaluate
a target business and to structure and complete a business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The
costs of a business combination transaction will be determined by the following factors: (1) the amount of time it takes to complete a
business combination, (2) the location of the target company, (3) the size and complexity of the business of the target company, (4) whether
current stockholders of the Company will retain equity in the Company, (5) the scope of the due diligence investigation required, (6)
the involvement of the Company’s auditors in the transaction, (7) possible changes in the Company’s capital structure in connection
with the transaction, and (8) whether funds may be raised contemporaneously with the transaction. The time and costs required to complete
a business combination can be estimated once a business combination target has been identified. Any costs incurred with respect to the
evaluation of a prospective business combination that is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us.
Through information obtained from industry professionals
including attorneys, investment bankers, and other consultants with experience in the reverse merger industry, the Company is aware that
there are hundreds of shell companies seeking a business combination target. As a result, the Company believes it is in a highly competitive
market for a small number of business opportunities, which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination.
We are, and will continue to be, an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions
of small private and public entities. Many established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital
firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive
disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors
may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.
In addition, management is currently involved
with other blank check companies—namely, Patricia Acquisition Corp. and Parc Investments Inc., and may become associated with additional
blank check companies at any time in the future. As a result, conflicts may arise during the pursuit of business combinations with other
such companies with which our management is involved or may become involved with in the future if we and the other blank check companies
that our officers and directors are affiliated with desire to take advantage of the same business opportunity.
At this time, the Company has not identified any
specific factors or criteria that will be used to determine which entity will proceed with a proposed transaction in the event of a conflict
of interest. Management reserves the right to use any such criteria as it determines to be relevant at the time a proposed transaction
is presented. However, in the event a conflict of interest arises in connection with the identification of a proposed business transaction,
the Company’s management and board of directors will use their reasonable judgment and intend to take all such actions as may be
required in order to satisfy its fiduciary duties. At this time, our management has not identified any specific conflicts of interests.
We presently have no employees apart from our
management. Our officer and directors are engaged in outside business activities and are employed on a full-time basis by other companies.
Our officer and directors will be dividing their time amongst these entities and anticipate that they will devote very limited time to
our business until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. The specific amount of time that management
will devote to the Company may vary from week to week or even day to day; therefore, the specific amount of time that management will
devote to the Company on a weekly basis cannot be ascertained with any level of certainty. In all cases, management intends to spend as
much time as is necessary to exercise its fiduciary duties as an officer and/or director of the Company, and believes that it will be
able to devote the time required to consummate a business combination transaction as necessary.
We expect no significant changes in the number
of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.
Form of Acquisition
The manner in which the Registrant participates
in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Registrant and the promoters
of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Registrant and such promoters.
It is likely that the Registrant will acquire
its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of its Common Stock or other securities of the Registrant, which could
result in substantial dilution to the equity of stockholders of the Registrant immediately prior to the consummation of a transaction.
Although the terms of any such transaction have not been identified and cannot be predicted, it is expected that any business combination
transaction the Company may enter into would be structured as a “tax free” reorganization. It should be noted that the criteria
for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called “tax free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), depends upon the transaction meeting certain statutory and non-statutory requirements.
3
There are different types of statutory requirements
for each type of tax-free reorganization and thus each transaction must be reviewed carefully to determine its eligibility for a tax-free
reorganization. One of the statutory requirements in a tax-free reorganization is that at least a certain percentage of the total consideration
in the transaction must be voting stock of the acquirer corporation. This could result in substantial dilution to the equity of those
who were stockholders of the Registrant prior to such reorganization. In addition, post- transaction dispositions of Registrant’s
stock received as consideration could have implications for the tax-free nature of the transaction in question. The Company does not intend
to supply disclosure to stockholders concerning a target company prior to the consummation of a business combination transaction, unless
required by applicable law or regulation. In the event a proposed business combination involves a change in majority of directors of the
Company, the Company will file and provide to stockholders a Schedule 14F-1, which shall include, information concerning the target company,
as required. The Company will file a current report on Form 8-K, as required, within four business days of a business combination which
results in the Company ceasing to be a shell company. This Form 8-K will include complete disclosure of the target company, including
audited financial statements.
The present stockholders of the Registrant will
likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Registrant following a reorganization transaction. As part of such
a transaction, all or a majority of the Registrant’s directors may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without
any vote by stockholders.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction
may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory
merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders’ meeting and obtain the
approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity of obtaining such stockholder approval may result in
delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting
stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.
The Company intends to search for a target for
a business combination by contacting various sources including, but not limited to, our affiliates, lenders, investment banking firms,
private equity funds, consultants and attorneys. The approximate number of persons or entities that will be contacted is unknown and dependent
on whether any opportunities are presented by the sources that we contact. Due to our management’s affiliation with Montrose Capital,
we expect that Montrose Capital may be able to assist the Company in identifying a business combination target for us. We currently do
not have any agreements or preliminary agreements between us and any other entities including but not limited to Montrose Capital.
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific
business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments
will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. The costs that will
be incurred are difficult to determine with any degree of specificity at this time, as such costs are expected to be dependent on factors
such as (1) the amount of time it takes to identify and complete a business combination transaction; (2) the location, size and complexity
of the business of the target company; (3) whether current stockholders of the Company will retain equity in the Company; (4) the scope
of the due diligence investigation required; (5) the involvement of the Company’s auditors in the transaction; (6) possible changes
in the Company’s capital structure in connection with the transaction; (7) and whether funds may be raised contemporaneously with
the transaction. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related
investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity,
the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Registrant of the related costs incurred. Other than as described
below, the Company has not established a timeline with respect to the identification of a business combination target.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and may 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(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
and exemptions from the requirements of Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to hold a nonbinding advisory vote
of stockholders on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
4
The Company has elected to use the extended transition
period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay
the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards
apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with
public company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company”
for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues are $1.07 billion or more, if we issue more than $1 billion
in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700
million as of the end of the second quarter of any fiscal year following the anniversary of the initial reporting.
To the extent that we continue to qualify as a
“smaller reporting company”, as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an
emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as
a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of
the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial
statements, instead of three years.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a “smaller reporting company” as
defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company neither rents nor owns any properties.
The Company utilizes the office space and equipment of its management at no cost. Given the limited need of the Company, management believes
that the office space is more than suitable and adequate. The Company currently has no policy with respect to investments or interests
in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are presently no pending legal proceedings
to which the Company or any of its property is subject, or any material proceedings to which any director, officer or affiliate of the
Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities is a party or has a material
interest adverse to the Company, and no such proceedings are known to the Company to be threatened or contemplated against it.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
5
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common
Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
The Company is authorized by its Certificate of
Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 60,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 50,000,000 are shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000
are shares of Preferred Stock. As of the date of filing this Form 10-K, 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and zero shares of Preferred
Stock were issued and outstanding and the Company had two stockholders of record.
Common Stock
All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of
the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted
to a vote of stockholders of the Company. All stockholders are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from
time to time by the Company’s board of directors out of funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. The stockholders do not have cumulative
or preemptive rights.
There is currently no public market for our Common
Stock. Furthermore, no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until the Company completes a
business combination with an operating business. However, we cannot guarantee our Common Stock will ever be listed on any exchange or
approved for quotation on any over-the-counter market.
Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the
issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board
of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights, which could adversely affect the voting power, or other rights of the holders of the
Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging,
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized
Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.
Dividends
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock
to date and do not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of dividends in the future will
be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of
a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our then board
of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations
and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity
Compensation Plans
The Company has not authorized any securities
for issuance under an equity incentive plan.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On November 13, 2020, the Company issued (i) an
aggregate of 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock to Mark Tompkins, a director of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price equal to $475
representing amounts advanced by Mr. Tompkins to counsel for the Company in connection with the formation and organization of the Company
and (ii) an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock to Ian Jacobs, an officer and director of the Company, for an aggregate cash purchase
price equal to $25, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with each person. The Company
issued these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
6
On November 13, 2020, in connection with advances
made in connection with costs incurred by the Company, the Company issued a promissory note to Mark Tompkins, a stockholder and director
of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay Mr. Tompkins the sum of any and all amounts that Mr. Tompkins may advance
to the Company on or before the date that the Company consummates a business combination with a private company or reverse takeover transaction
or other transaction after which the Company would cease to be a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). The
Company has used the proceeds from the note to cover its expenses. Although Mr. Tompkins has no obligation to advance funds to the Company
under the terms of the note, it is anticipated that he may advance funds to the Company as fees and expenses are incurred in the future.
As a result, the Company issued the note in anticipation of such advances. Interest shall not accrue on the outstanding principal amount
of the note except if an Event of Default (as defined in the note) has occurred. In the event of an Event of Default, the entire note
shall automatically become due and payable (the “Default Date”), and starting from five (5) days after the Default Date, the
interest rate on the note shall accrue at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount due
under the note was $22,500.
The proceeds from the sale of the securities described
above will be, and have been, used for working capital and general and administrative expenses. No securities have been issued for services.
Neither the Registrant nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general solicitation
or general advertising. No services were performed by any purchaser as consideration for the shares issued. The sale of the securities
identified above were made pursuant to a privately negotiated transaction that did not involve a public offering of securities and, accordingly,
was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and the rules promulgated thereunder.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
None.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
As a “smaller reporting company” defined
by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. Overview of our Business
Laffin Acquisition Corp. was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on November 9, 2020. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing.
The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. The Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC
on January 4, 2021 as amended and filed on April 9, 2021, and since its effectiveness, the Company has focused its efforts to identify
a possible business combination.
The Company is currently considered to be a “blank
check” company. The SEC defines those companies as “any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the
meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act, and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business
plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.” Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the
sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions. The Company is also a “shell company,”
defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act as a company with no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Management
does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully
concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long
as we are subject to those requirements.
In addition, the Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and may 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(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and exemptions from the requirements
of Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act to hold a nonbinding advisory vote of shareholders on executive compensation and any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.

The Company has also elected to use the extended
transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows
us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until
those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies
that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company”
until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our revenues equal $1.07 billion or more, (2) the date on which
we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, (3) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth
anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed pursuant
to the Securities Act, or (4) when the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the
last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller
reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth
company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting
company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley
Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements,
instead of three years.
The Company has not conducted any active operations
since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company since
inception. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company,
of which there can be no assurance. The Company’s plan of operation for the remainder of the fiscal year shall be to continue its
efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be
to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will
not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire
any type of business.
The Company does not currently engage in any business
activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such
time will be paid with funds to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.
The Company currently does not engage in any business
activities that provide cash flow. During the next twelve months, we anticipate incurring costs related to:
(i) filing Exchange Act reports, and
(ii) investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition.
We believe we will be able to meet these costs
through use of funds to be loaned by or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors. There are no assurances that
such funds will be advanced or that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding as needed. As of December 31, 2020, the
Company had $9,558 in cash. On November 13, 2020, in connection with advances made in connection with costs incurred by the Company, the
Company issued a promissory note to Mark Tompkins, a stockholder and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to
repay Mr. Tompkins the sum of any and all amounts that Mr. Tompkins may advance to the Company on or before the date that the Company
consummates a business combination with a private company or reverse takeover transaction or other transaction after which the Company
would cease to be a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). The Company has used the proceeds from the note to
cover its expenses. Although Mr. Tompkins has no obligation to advance funds to the Company under the terms of the note, it is anticipated
that he may advance funds to the Company as fees and expenses are incurred in the future. As a result, the Company issued the note in
anticipation of such advances. Interest shall not accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the note except if an Event of Default
(as defined in the note) has occurred. In the event of an Event of Default, the entire note shall automatically become due and payable
(the “Default Date”), and starting from five (5) days after the Default Date, the interest rate on the note shall accrue at
the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount due under the note was $22,500. We currently have
no other agreements or specific arrangements in place with our stockholders, management or other investors. We currently have no other
agreements or specific arrangements in place with our stockholders, management or other investors.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and
repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent
on our ability to find a suitable target company and enter into a possible reverse merger with such company. Management’s plan includes
obtaining additional funds by equity financing through a reverse merger transaction and/or related party advances, however there is no
assurance of additional funding being available.
The Company, as of December 31, 2020 had $9,558
in cash and has not earned any revenues from operations to date. In the next 12 months, we expect to incur expenses equal to approximately
$40,000 related to legal, accounting, audit, and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the Company’s Exchange
Act filing requirements. The costs related to the acquisition of a business combination target company vary widely and are dependent on
a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the amount of time it takes to complete a business combination, the location of the
target company, the size and complexity of the business of the target company, whether stockholders of the Company prior to the transaction
will retain equity in the Company, the scope of the due diligence investigation required, the involvement of the Company’s auditors
in the transaction, possible changes in the Company’s capital structure in connection with the transaction, and whether funds may
be raised contemporaneously with the transaction. Therefore, we believe such costs are unascertainable until the Company identifies a
business combination target. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is
currently devoting its efforts to locating merger candidates. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company, and ultimately, achieve
profitable operations.
The Company may consider acquiring a business
which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets,
is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties
and is in need of additional capital. Our management believes that the public company status that results from a combination with the
Company will provide such company greater access to the capital markets, increase its visibility in the investment community, and offer
the opportunity to utilize its stock to make acquisitions. There is no assurance that we will in fact have access to additional capital
or financing as a public company. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company
which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding,
among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.
Any target business we select for a potential
business combination may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities
without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations
of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with
an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent
in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.
Our management anticipates that it will likely
be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and the dilution of interest for present and prospective
stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business
in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us,
because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
The Company anticipates that the selection of
a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. While the Company is in a competitive market with a small number of business
opportunities, through information obtained from industry professionals including attorneys, investment bankers, and other consultants
with experience in the reverse merger industry, our management believes that there are opportunities for a business combination with firms
seeking the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation
include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity
for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees,
and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available
business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of
comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

We do not currently intend to retain any entity
to act as a “finder” to identify and analyze the merits of potential target businesses. However, we contemplate that Montrose
Capital may introduce business combination opportunities to us. There are currently no agreements or preliminary agreements between us
and Montrose Capital.
We have not established a specific timeline nor
have we created a specific plan to identify an acquisition target and consummate a business combination. We expect that our management
and the Company, through its various contacts and affiliations with other entities, including Montrose Capital, will locate a business
combination target. We expect that funds in the amount of approximately $40,000 will be required in order for the Company to satisfy its
Exchange Act reporting requirements during the next 12 months, in addition to any other funds that will be required in order to complete
a business combination. Such funds can only be estimated upon identifying a business combination target. Our management and stockholders
have indicated an intent to advance funds on behalf of the Company as needed in order to accomplish its business plan and comply with
its Exchange Act reporting requirements, however, there are no agreements in effect between the Company and our management or stockholders
specifically requiring they provide any funds to the Company. Therefore, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain
the required financing as needed in order to consummate a business combination transaction.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization
officially declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 a “pandemic.” A significant outbreak of COVID-19 and other
infectious diseases has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has significantly adversely affected businesses of all types, economies
and financial markets worldwide. The business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could be
materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete a business combination if continued concerns relating to
COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors
and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts
our search for a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including
new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.
If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, our ability to consummate
a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially
adversely affected.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had total
assets equal to $9,558 comprised exclusively of cash. The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 2020, totaled $27,000
comprised of amounts due under a note payable to a shareholder for $22,500; and accounts payable for $4,500. The Company can provide no
assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
The following is a summary of the Company’s
cash flows provided by (used in) operating and financing activities for the period November 9, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020:
Net Cash (Used In) Operating Activities $ (12,967 )
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities $ 22,525
Net Change in Cash $ 9,558
The Company has only cash assets and has generated
no revenues since inception. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing
operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent
upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable
at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.

Issuance of Promissory Note to a Stockholder
and Director
On November 13, 2020, the Company issued a promissory
note (the “Note”) to the majority stockholder of the Company, Mark Tompkins, a stockholder and director of the Company, pursuant
to which the Company agreed to repay Mr. Tompkins the sum of any and all amounts that Mr. Tompkins may advance to the Company on or before
the date that the Company consummates a business combination with a private company or reverse takeover transaction or other transaction
after which the Company would cease to be a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). The Company has used the
proceeds from the note to cover its expenses. Although Mr. Tompkins has no obligation to advance funds to the Company under the terms
of the note, it is anticipated that he may advance funds to the Company as fees and expenses are incurred in the future. As a result,
the Company issued the note in anticipation of such advances. Interest shall not accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the note
except if an Event of Default (as defined in the note) has occurred. In the Event of Default, the entire note shall automatically become
due and payable (the “Default Date”), and starting from five (5) days after the Default Date, the interest rate on the note
shall accrue at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount due under the note was $22,500.
Results of Operations
The Company has not conducted any active operations
since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company from November
9, 2020 (Inception) through December 31, 2020. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition
or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. It is management’s assertion that these circumstances may
hinder the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operations for the next twelve months shall
be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates.
The Company, as of December 31, 2020 had $9,558
in cash and has not earned any revenues from operations to date. In the next 12 months, we expect to incur expenses equal to approximately
$40,000 related to legal, accounting, audit, and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the Company’s Exchange
Act filing requirements. The costs related to the acquisition of a business combination target company vary widely and are dependent on
a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the amount of time it takes to complete a business combination, the location of the

in the transaction, possible changes in the Company’s capital structure in connection with the transaction, and whether funds may
be raised contemporaneously with the transaction. Therefore, we believe such costs are unascertainable until the Company identifies a
business combination target. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is
currently devoting its efforts to locating merger candidates. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company, and ultimately, achieve
profitable operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes
in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material
to investors.
