PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Company Overview and History

AFH Holding V, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 16, 2007. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has conducted no substantial business operations, other than organizational activities. The Company has no full-time employees and owns no real estate or personal property. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger with an existing company.  The Company is currently attempting to locate and enter into preliminary negotiations with a target company.  No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in negotiating with that target company.
 
The Company, based on proposed business activities, is a "blank check" company. The 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 of 1934, as amended (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. 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 we are subject to those requirements.

 
1

 
 

The Company was organized to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting ("public") company whose securities are qualified for trading in a United States secondary market such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market, American Stock Exchange, or the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, as a vehicle to investigate if such investigation warrants, acquire, a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation and, to a lesser extent, that desires to employ our funds in its business. 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.

Competition

The Company faces vast competition from other shell companies with the same objectives. The Company is in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. A large number of 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.

Employees

We presently have no employees apart from our management. Our sole officer and  director is engaged in outside business activities and anticipates he will devote to our business very limited time until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.

Corporate Information

Our principal executive offices are located at 9595 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 700, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.  Our corporate telephone number is (310) 492-9898.

Presently, there are not any material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or as to which any of its property is subject, and the Company does not know nor is it aware of any legal proceedings threatened or contemplated against it.

PART II

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Common Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Our Common Stock is not listed on a publicly-traded market.  The Company is not aware of any market activity in its stock since its inception and through the date of this filing.  As of March 30, 2012, there is one holder of record of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in accordance with the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company has not yet issued any of the Preferred Stock.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on Common Stock and does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, if any, its capital requirements and financial condition and such other factors as the Board of Directors may consider.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

In our accountant’s report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, they expressed their doubt as to the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements included in this Annual Report have been prepared assuming that the Registrant will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
Results of Operation

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 April 16, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2011. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2011, the Company had no capital resources and will rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses pending acquisition of an operating company.

Management anticipates seeking out a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who will be contacted or solicited. Management may engage in such solicitation directly or may employ one or more other entities to conduct or assist in such solicitation. Management and its affiliates will pay referral fees to consultants and others who refer target businesses for mergers into public companies in which management and its affiliates have an interest. Payments are made if a business combination occurs, and may consist of cash or a portion of the stock in the Company retained by management and its affiliates, or both.

 
5

 

 
The Company and/or sole stockholder will supervise the search for target companies as potential candidates for a business combination. The Company and/or sole stockholder may pay as their own expenses any costs incurred in supervising the search for a target company. The Company and/or sole stockholder may enter into agreements with other consultants to assist in locating a target company and may share stock received by it or cash resulting from the sale of its securities with such other consultants.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any contractual obligations nor 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of AFH Holding V, Inc.
9595 Wilshire Blvd
Suite 700
Beverly Hills, CA 90212

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of AFH Holding Entities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of  operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 and for the period since inception (April 16, 2007) through December 31, 2011. AFH Holding V, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

n our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AFH Holding V, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 and for the period since inception (April 16, 2007) through December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note D to the financial statements, the Entity's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
 
Loss Per Common Share
 
Loss per common share is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10 by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents, however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.  Actual results can differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 using the asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities.  This method utilizes enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and gives immediate effect to changes in income tax rates upon enactment.  Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred assets and liability balances.

Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and due to parent. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

Recent Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

ITEM 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of AFH Holding V, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These internal controls include policies and procedures that:

·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

·
Provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

·
Provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that would have a material impact on financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm because we are a smaller reporting company.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31, 2010 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our board of directors does not maintain a separate audit, nominating or compensation committee.  Functions customarily performed by such committees are performed by our board of directors as a whole. 

We do not currently have a process for security holders to send communications to the Board.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Code of Ethics

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have not adopted such a code of ethics because management has determined that this would be premature considering the status of the Company’s business at this time, and all of management's efforts have been directed to pursuing the business opportunities for the Company. The board of directors may adopt a code of ethics at a later date.

It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a business combination with another entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of our management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity.

There are no employment agreements or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, with our officer and director.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding.

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Except as otherwise indicated herein, there have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

Director Independence

We do not believe that our current director is considered “independent” as the term is used in Item 407(a)(1) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers listing standards. However, we are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include "independent" directors.
