PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS


Woodward Energy Partners Inc.


150,000 Shares of Common Stock

Price per share: $0.10

Total cash proceeds if all shares are sold: $15,000


This is our initial public offering. We are offering up to 150,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share. We will offer the shares ourselves and do not plan to use underwriters or pay any commissions. The shares will be offered and sold by our officer .  There is no trading market for our common stock.


We are an emerging growth company under federal securities laws.


The offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best effort basis, which means our officer will attempt to sell the shares. This Prospectus will permit our officer to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares they may sell. Our officer will sell the shares. In offering the securities on our behalf, they will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. We intend to open a standard, non-interest bearing, bank checking account to be used only for the deposit of funds received from the sale of the shares in this offering. This bank account will not be an escrow account and that the funds in the account will be subject to attachment by creditors. This is a “best efforts” offering which means that there is no requirement that we sell a specified number of shares before the proceeds of the offering become available for our use. Further, there are no provisions for the return of funds to investors if only a nominal amount of shares are sold in the offering. We may only receive minimal proceeds from this offering.

 

 The shares will be offered at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of three hundred and sixty five (365) days from the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended by our board of directors for an additional one hundred eighty (180) days.


The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell our shares until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell our shares, and it is not soliciting an offer to buy our shares in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

                    The purchase of our shares involves substantial risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3 for a discussion of risks to consider before purchasing our common stock.


      Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.


THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. WE MAY NOT SELL OUR SHARES UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IS EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL OUR SHARES, AND IT IS NOT SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY OUR SHARES IN ANY STATE WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED.

Prospectus Summary


This summary contains basic information about us and the offering. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and our financial statements and the related notes to those statements included in this prospectus. Except as otherwise required by the context, references in this prospectus to “we,” “our,” “us,” “Woodward Energy Partners,” and “Woodward” refer to Woodward Energy Partners Inc.


Woodward Energy Partners Inc. (the “Company” or “WEP”) is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Delaware in May, 2006. We were formed to engage in the business of marketing and promoting service stations and retail outlets that sell ethanol, E85 and E10 fuels, and other alternative fuels through our online website, (www.drivewithethanol.com.). In December of 2008 we commenced our planned principal operations, and therefore have no significant assets. To date, we developed our business plan. We intend to generate revenues from advertising.  We need to build out our website in greater detail to focus on specific local markets. Additionally, we need to complete a database and search function on our site to highlight specific cities and states that have high concentrations of ethanol service stations.


Since our inception on May 12, 2006 through December 31, 2011, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred a net loss of ($8,412) for the fiscal year December 31, 2011 and a net loss of ($1,940) for the fiscal year December 31, 2011. Until December 2008, our only business activity was the formation of our corporate entity, the development of our business model, and the establishment of our initial website. The capital raised in this offering has been budgeted to cover the costs associated with advertising on the internet to draw attention to our website, costs associated with website enhancements, and covering various filing fees and transfer agent fees to complete our early money raise through this offering. There can be no assurance that the actual expenses incurred will not materially exceed our estimates or that cash flows from listing fees will be adequate to maintain our business. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in the registration statement.


Woodward is developing an Internet destination and marketplace in the United States for sellers and consumers of alternative fuels such as ethanol, E10, E85 and other flexfuels on the market and for consumers seeking information regarding alternative fuel products and services. We intend to utilize the power of the Internet to aggregate in a single location a network of industry participants and a comprehensive database of alternative fuel information to create an open marketplace that is local, regional and national in nature. We currently have no listings. By providing this digital marketplace, we intend to bring fuel retailers such as national chains, independent gas station owners, truck stops and other industry participants, such as vendors of automotive products and services and national advertisers, together with purchase-minded consumers at the moment when these consumers are directly engaged in a search for a alternative fuels such as E10 and E85. We believe that upon completion of our operating model, we will provide significant benefits to retailers, consumers and other industry participants by enabling them to advertise, interact and promote with a significant online consumer audience related to the alternative fuel market. We intend to provide significant benefits to consumers by giving them the tools they need to effectively navigate a large database of sellers of alternative fuels. These expected outcomes may not materialize in the event we are unable to execute our plan or raise the funds needed to implement our plan.

 

 

We currently operate our site (www.drivewithethanol.com). It presently supplies a collection of newsfeeds and the site is accessible to the public. The current functions are limited to displaying news headlines related to ethanol and its availability. We plan to sell advertising space to ethanol based companies, service stations, and other green technology based companies. We will offer our advertising customers various forms of advertising: full page article style advertising, banner advertising of various sizes, and linking advertising. We have not worked out a price sheet and have not developed all of the forms of advertising that might be available to our customers or its pricing.


As of the date of this prospectus we have one officer and director, Benjamin Joffe, who we anticipate devoting only a small portion of his time to the company going forward. Additionally, even with the sale of securities offered



6




herein, we will not have the financial resources needed to hire additional employees or meaningfully expand our business. We anticipate operating losses for at least the next 12 months. Even if we sell all the securities offered, the majority of the proceeds of the offering will be spent for corporate expenses and additional website development. Investors should realize that following this offering we will be required to raise additional capital to cover the costs associated with our plans of operation. We are conducting this offering because we believe this is a necessary and viable step to growing our vision of a successful company focused providing on alternative fuel information.


This is our initial public offering and no public market currently exists for the securities being offered. Consequently, our shareholders will not be able to sell their shares in any organized market place and may be limited to selling their shares privately. Accordingly, an investment in our shares is an illiquid investment.


Woodward is an emerging growth company under Federal securities laws.


We intend to have the company quoted on the over the counter markets but there is no assurance that will ever happen.  The absence of a trading market will likely limit the company's ability to raise funds through equity financing or use its shares for consideration in any kind of transaction.


The company's stock will likely be a penny stock.


We are subject to many risks and an investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk. You should only purchase shares if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. Carefully consider all of the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3 before investing in any of our shares.



Woodward Energy Partners’ address and phone number is:

RISK FACTORS

 

Investors in Woodward Energy Partners should be particularly aware of the inherent risks associated with our business. As of the date of this filing our management is aware of the following material risks.

 

An investment in the Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk.


We are a development stage company organized in May 2006 and have recently commenced operations, which makes an evaluation of us extremely difficult. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, we may never become profitable or generate any significant amount of revenues, thus potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment. Our auditors have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our auditor’s report reflects the fact that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately the achievement of significant operating revenues. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you will lose your investment.

 

Although we have established a business plan, there is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including our ability to raise adequate working capital, demand for our service and products, the level of our competition and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees. Additionally, our auditor’s report reflects that the ability of Woodward Energy to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you will lose your investment. You should not invest in this offering unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.


Mr. Joffe, our sole officer and director, has no experience in framing an online alternative fuel advertising business. The lack of experience in framing an online alternative fuel advertising business could impact our return on investment, if any.

 

As a result of our reliance on Mr. Joffe, his lack of experience in developing an online alternative fuel marketplace, our investors are at risk in losing their entire investment. Mr. Joffe intends to hire personnel in the future, when sufficiently capitalized, who may have the experience required to manage our company, such management is not anticipated until the occurrence of future financing. Since this offering will not sufficiently capitalize our company, future offerings will be necessary to satisfy capital needs. Until such future offering occurs, and until such management is in place, we are reliant upon Mr. Joffe to make the appropriate management decisions.

 

 

Mr. Joffe is involved with other interests, including attending law school and there can be no assurance that he will continue to provide services to us. Mr. Joffe’s limited time devotion, less than 20 hours per month, to Woodward could have the effect on our operations of preventing us from being a successful business operation, which ultimately could cause a loss of your investment.

 

As compared to many other public companies, we do not have the depth of managerial or technical personnel. Mr. Joffe is currently involved in other businesses, which have not, and are not expected in the future to interfere with Mr. Joffe’s ability to work on behalf of our company. Mr. Joffe may in the future be involved with other businesses and there can be no assurance that he will continue to provide services to us. Mr. Joffe will devote only a portion, less than 20 hours per month, of his time to our activities. As our sole officer and director, decisions are made at his sole discretion and not as a result of compromise or vote by members of a board.

 

We are highly dependent on our sole officer and director to operate and manage the Company as he is currently the Company’s only officer and director as well as employee. Loss of Mr. Joffe could result in our operations halting.




9




 The success of the Company's business is highly dependent upon the services, efforts and abilities of Benjamin Joffe, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.  The business of the Company could be materially and adversely affected by the loss of any of Mr. Joffe.  The Company does not maintain key man life insurance on the life of Mr. Joffe.  The Company does not have any employment agreements

 

Since a limited number of stockholders upon completion of the offering will beneficially own the majority of our outstanding common shares, those shareholders will retain the ability to control our management and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval notwithstanding the overall opposition of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of our company that might negatively impact the value of your common shares.

 

Our current shareholders will own approximately 81.25% of our outstanding common shares after completion of the offering. As a consequence of their controlling stock ownership position, our current shareholders will retain the ability to elect a majority of our board of directors, and thereby control our management. The current shareholders also have the ability to control the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including mergers and other changes of corporate control, going private transactions, and other extraordinary transactions. The concentration of ownership by these shareholders could discourage investments in our company, or prevent a potential takeover of our company which will have a negative impact on the value of our securities.

 

Upon completion of this offering there will be an immediate and substantial dilution to purchasers of our securities.

 

The public offering price of the Shares will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value of the Common Stock. Investors participating in this offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the per share net tangible book value of their investment from the initial public offering price of approximately $0.10 in the offering. See “Dilution”

  

Because of competitive pressures from competitors with more resources, Woodward Energy may fail to implement its business model profitably.

 

The business of advertising on the Internet is highly fragmented and extremely competitive. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. There are no substantial barriers to entry in this market and we believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of new solutions and enhancements to existing solutions developed by us, our competitors, and their advisors.

 

We are dependent on the popularity of consumer acceptance of alternative fuels are our revenues are tied to those companies that provide such fuels and the use of our services.


Our ability to generate revenue and be successful in implementation of our business plan is dependent on consumer acceptance of alternative fuels such as E10, E85, and other flex fuels.

 

A drop in the retail price of conventional energy or other renewable energy sources may negatively impact our business.


The demand for our fuels depends in part on the price of conventional energy, which affects return on investment resulting from the purchase of alternative and flex fuels. Fluctuations in economic and market conditions that impact the prices of conventional and renewable energy sources, such as decreases in the prices of oil and other fossil fuels, could cause the demand for flex fuels to decline, which would have a negative impact on our business.


Lax enforcement of environmental and energy policy regulations may adversely affect the demand for ethanol. 


Our success will depend, in part, on effective enforcement of existing environmental and energy policy regulations. Many energy users are unlikely to switch from the use of conventional fuels unless compliance with applicable regulatory requirements leads, directly or indirectly, to the use of ethanol. Both additional regulation and



10




enforcement of such regulatory provisions are likely to be vigorously opposed by the entities affected by such requirements. If existing emissions-reducing standards are weakened, or if governments are not active and effective in enforcing such standards, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Even if the current trend toward more stringent emissions standards continues, our future prospects will depend on the ability of ethanol to satisfy these emissions standards more efficiently than other alternative technologies. Certain standards imposed by regulatory programs may limit or preclude the use of our products to comply with environmental or energy requirements. Any decrease in the emission standards or the failure to enforce existing emission standards and other regulations could result in a reduced demand for ethanol. A significant decrease in the demand for ethanol will reduce the price of ethanol, adversely affect our profitability and decrease the value of your stock.


Existing regulations, and changes to such regulations, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the installation of solar energy systems, which may significantly reduce demand for alternative fuels.


Alternative fuels are subject to oversight and regulation under local ordinances; building, zoning and fire codes; environmental protection regulation; utility interconnection requirements for metering; and other rules and regulations. We attempt to keep up-to-date about these requirements on a national, state and local level. In addition, new government regulations or policies pertaining to alternative fuels are unpredictable and may result in significant additional expenses or delays, which could cause a significant reduction in demand for alternative fuels.


We will require additional financing in order to implement our business plan. In the event we are unable to acquire additional financing, we may not be able to implement our business plan resulting in a loss of revenues and ultimately the loss of your investment.


Due to our start-up nature, we will have to incur the costs of advertising which is intended to generate revenue from fees and advertising, in addition to hiring new employees and commencing additional marketing activities for listing services. To fully implement our business plan we will require substantial additional funding. This offering, if successful, will only enable us to commence advertising for listing clients, and will assist us in further developing our initial business operations, including the enhancement of our website; however will not be sufficient to allow us to expand our business meaningfully. Additionally, since the net offering proceeds have been earmarked for advertising expenses, some website development fees, and minimal working capital, we will not be capitalized sufficiently to hire or pay employees.

 

Following this offering we will need to raise additional funds to expand our operations. We plan to raise additional funds through private placements, registered offerings, debt financing or other sources to maintain and expand our operations. Adequate funds for this purpose on terms favorable to us may not be available, and if available, on terms significantly more adverse to us than are manageable. Without new funding, we may be only partially successful or completely unsuccessful in implementing our business plan, and our stockholders will lose part or all of their investment.

 

There is no current public market for our common stock; therefore you may be unable to sell your securities at any time, for any reason, and at any price, resulting in a loss of your investment.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public market for our common stock. Although we plan, in the future, to contact an authorized OTC Bulletin Board market maker for sponsorship of our securities on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, there can be no assurance that our attempts to do so will be successful. Furthermore, if our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or elsewhere, there can be no assurance that a market will develop for the common stock or that a market in the common stock will be maintained. As a result of the foregoing, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment for any reason. We have not originated contact with a market maker at this time, and do not plan on doing so until completion of this offering.

 

Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

 

Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the



11




common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

 

  

Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;

  

Disclose certain price information about the stock;

  

Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;

  

Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and

  

In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

 

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.


As a result of our placing your invested funds into a segregated account as opposed to an escrow account, the funds are subject to attachment by creditors of the company, thereby subjecting you to a potential loss of the funds.

 

Because the funds are being placed in a segregated account rather than an escrow account, creditors of the company could try to attach, and ultimately be successful in obtaining or attaching the funds before the offering closes. Investors would lose all or part of their investments if this happened, regardless of whether or not the offering closes.


Our preferred stock holders may have superior rights which could affect the rights of the common stockholders.


         The Company is authorized to issue preferred stock.  The Board, without stockholder approval, may issue shares of the preferred stock with rights and preferences adverse to the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock.  No preferred stock has been issued.  See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock."


If we experience material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.


As a result of becoming a public company, we will be required, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each fiscal year beginning with the first full fiscal year after the effective date of this offering. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting and, once we are no longer an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, an opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, starting with the second annual report that we would expect to file with the SEC. However, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with



12




the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31.

We are in the very early stages of the costly and challenging process of hiring personnel and compiling the system and process documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over  ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we would lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our common stock to decline. Our independent auditors will not be required to attest to their effectiveness while we are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. If our independent auditors determine we have a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting once our independent auditors begin their reviews, investors may lose confidence in us. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

Our existing dividend policy and contractual restrictions limit our ability to pay dividends.

We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and do not expect to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We expect that all cash flow generated from our operations in the foreseeable future will be retained and used to develop or expand our business.



We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

The JOBS Act permits "emerging growth companies" like us to rely on some of the reduced disclosure requirements that are already available to companies having a public float of less than $75 million. During a transitional period following the first sale of the companies' equity securities under a Securities Act registration statement, emerging growth companies are also permitted to omit the auditor's attestation on internal control over financial reporting that would otherwise be required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Companies with a public float of $75 million or more must otherwise procure such an attestation beginning with their second annual report after their initial public offering. During the transitional period, emerging growth companies are also excluded from the requirement to submit "say-on-pay", "say-on-pay frequency" and "say-on-parachute" votes to their stockholders and may avail themselves of reduced executive compensation disclosure compared to larger companies.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will cease to be an emerging growth company as described in the following risk factor. Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these



13




exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

While we currently qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act, we will lose that status at the latest by the end of 2017, which will increase the costs and demands placed upon management.

We will continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexed for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under this registration statement; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’ as defined by the SEC, which would generally occur upon our attaining a public float of at least $700 million.  Once we lose emerging growth company status, we expect the costs and demands placed upon management to increase, as we would have to comply with additional disclosure and accounting requirements, particularly if our public float should exceed $75 million.

Because we have nominal assets and no significant revenue, we are considered a "shell company" and will be subject to more stringent reporting requirements.

Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, we are a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 are not able to be made until 1) we have ceased to be a “shell company"; 2) we are subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and, 3) have filed all of our required periodic reports for at least the previous one year period prior to any sale pursuant to Rule 144; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company.” If less than 12 months has elapsed since the Company ceases being a “shell company”, then only registered securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Therefore, any restricted securities we sell in the future or issue to consultants or employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose will have no liquidity until and unless such securities are registered with the Commission and/or until a year after we cease to be a “shell company” and have complied with the other requirements of Rule 144, as described above. As a result, it may be harder for us to fund our operations and pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder for us to raise funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. Our status as a “shell company” could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions (although none are currently planned), which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless. Lastly, any shares held by affiliates, including shares received in any registered offering, will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144(i).

We may be eligible to suspend our reporting requirements due to a limited number of shareholders with could affect the price of our stock.

In the event that we have less than 300 shareholders at the end of the next fiscal year following effectiveness of this registration statement, we would be eligible to terminate our reporting requirements under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. Election to terminate our reporting requirements may adversely affect the price of our stock as investors may not feel they have access to reliable and timely information on our company.




14




We will only be required to comply with the limited periodic reporting obligations required by Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. We are not a fully reporting Company and that may make our stock less attractive to investors and may be more difficult to raise funds.


We will only be required to comply with the limited periodic reporting obligations required by Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, and we are not a fully reporting company. As a filer subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we will not be required to prepare proxy or information statements; that our common stock will not be subject to the protection of the going private regulations; that  we will be subject to only limited portions of the tender offer rules; that our officers, directors, and more than ten percent shareholders will not file beneficial ownership reports about their holdings in our company; that these persons will not be subject to the shortswing profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act; and that more than five percent holders of classes of our equity securities will not be required to report information about their ownership positions in the securities.  These limited obligations may make our stock less attractive to investors and make it more difficult for us to raise funds and may cause our stock price to decline due to a lack of reporting obligations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The amounts and timing of expenditures described in the table for each purpose may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including, without limitation, the progress of our marketing. We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our operations, that the net proceeds of this offering and cash flow from operations, if any, will be adequate to satisfy our capital needs for approximately 12 months following consummation of this offering. We have based our assumptions on the fact that we will not incur additional obligations for personnel, office, etc. until such time as we either raise additional equity or debt, or generate revenues to support such expenditures.


The net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered hereby are estimated to be approximately $ 9,190 . We intend to utilize the estimated net proceeds following the offering for the following purposes:

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

In determining the initial public offering price of the shares we considered several factors including the following:

 

  

our start up status;

  

prevailing market conditions, including the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

  

our future prospects; and

  

our capital structure.

 

                      Therefore, the public offering price of the shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria and may not be indicative of prices that may prevail at any time or from time to time in the public market for the common stock. You cannot be sure that a public market for any of our securities will



18




develop and continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price at or higher than the offering price in this offering.

 

DILUTION

 

 You will suffer substantial dilution in the purchase price of your stock compared to the net tangible book value per share immediately after the purchase.


 As of December 31, 2011, Woodward Energy Partners’ net tangible book value was $28. Net tangible book value is the aggregate amount of Woodward Energy Partners’ tangible assets less its total liabilities. Net tangible book value per share represents Woodward Energy Partners’ total tangible assets less its total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 150,000 shares at an offering price of $0.10 per share of common stock, application of the estimated net sale proceeds (after deducting offering expenses of $ 5,810 ), Woodward Energy Partners’ net tangible book value as of the closing of this offering would increase from $(0.00) to $.01 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of approximately $.01 per share to current shareholders, and immediate dilution of about $.09 per share to new investors, as illustrated in the following table:

  PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND TERMS OF THE OFFERING

 

We are offering to the public 150,000 shares of common stock, at $0.10 per share, on a “best efforts,” basis in a “direct public offering” through our officer . This offering terminates in 365 days after commencement of this offering. There are no provisions for the return of funds if only a small number of shares are sold and no minimum subscription amount has been set for these shares to be sold by Woodward Energy Partners Inc. No commissions will be paid for the sale of the 150,000 shares offered by Woodward Energy Partners.


 This is our initial public offering, and no public market currently exists for our shares. The offering price may not reflect the market price of our shares after the offering. There is no minimum purchase requirement for prospective stockholders and no arrangement to place funds in an escrow, trust, or similar account. We do intend to place the funds into a segregated account. The segregated account is not an escrow, trust or similar account, and is subject to attachment by creditors.

 

We will sell the shares on a “direct public offering,” basis through our sole officer and director, who may be considered underwriters as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(11). Our officer will not receive any commission in connection with the sale of shares, although we may reimburse them for expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the shares. Our officer intends to sell the shares being registered according to the following plan of distribution:

 

  

Shares will be offered to friends, family, and business associates of our officer ;

 

Our officer will be relying on, and complying with, Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(ii) of the Exchange Act as a “safe harbor” from registration as a broker-dealer in connection with the offer and sales of the shares. In order to rely on such “safe harbor” provisions provided by Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(ii), they must be in compliance with all of the following:

 

  

they must not be subject to a statutory disqualification;

  

They must not be compensated in connection with such selling participation by payment of commissions or other payments based either directly or indirectly on such transactions;

  

they must not be an associated person of a broker-dealer;

  

they must primarily perform, or are intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of Woodward Energy Partners Inc. otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and



21







  

they must perform substantial duties for the issuer after the close of the offering not connected with transactions in securities, and not have been associated with a broker or dealer for the preceding 12 months, and not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 month.

 

  Our officer will comply with the guidelines enumerated in Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(ii). Our officer , nor any affiliates will be purchasing shares in the offering.

 

You may purchase shares by completing and manually executing a subscription agreement and delivering it with your payment in full for all shares, which you wish to purchase to our offices. Your subscription shall not become effective until accepted by us and approved by our counsel. Acceptance will be based upon confirmation that you have purchased the shares in a state providing for an exemption from registration. Our subscription process is as follows:

 

  

a prospectus, with subscription agreement, is delivered by Woodward Energy Partners to each offeree;

  

the subscription is completed by the offeree, and submitted by check back to Woodward Energy Partners where the subscription and a copy of the check is faxed to counsel for review;

  

each subscription is reviewed by counsel for Woodward Energy Partners to confirm the subscribing party completed the form, and to confirm the state of acceptance;

  

once approved by counsel, the subscription is accepted by our officer and the funds deposited into an account labeled: Woodward Energy Partners Inc., within four (4) days of acceptance;

  

subscriptions not accepted, are returned with the check undeposited within 24 hours of determination of non-acceptance.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We may from time to time be involved in routine legal matters incidental to our business; however, at this point in time we are currently not involved in any litigation, nor are we aware of any threatened or impending litigation.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. 650,000 common shares were outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. No preferred shares were outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Upon sale of the 150,000 shares offered herein, we will have outstanding 800,000 shares of common stock. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared, from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion, from funds legally available to be distributed. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Woodward Energy Partners, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities and the prior payment to the preferred stockholders if any. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase our common stock. There are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which no shares were outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors as shares of one or more classes or series. Our board of directors, subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, is authorized to:

 

  

adopt resolutions;

  

to issue the shares;

  

to fix the number of shares;

  

to change the number of shares constituting any series; and

  

to provide for or change the following:

  

the voting powers;

  

designations;

  

preferences; and

  

relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including the following:

  

dividend rights (including whether dividends are cumulative);

  

dividend rates;

  

Terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions);

  

redemption prices;

  

conversion rights; and

  

liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the preferred stock.

 

In each of the listed cases, we will not need any further action or vote by the stockholders.

 

One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the Board of Director’s authority described above may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common



23




stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

 

 Options and Warrants


      We do not presently have any options or warrants authorized or any securities that may be convertible into common stock. However, our officers may later determine to authorize options and warrants for our Company.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

OVERVIEW

 

 

Business Development Summary

 

Woodward Energy is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2006. We were formed to engage in the business of advertising and marketing service stations, retail outlets and truck stops selling ethanol based fuels such as E10, E85, and flexfuels. During our initial year of formation we concentrated our energies on analyzing the viability of our business plan, and establishing our business model. Additionally, we are in the process of expanding our website, which upon completion we hope to address the aspects of our business concept as set forth below. We commenced our business operations in December 2008 through the posting of the initial page of our website (www.drivewithethanol.com)

 

We are attempting to build www.drivewithethanol.com into an Internet based directory for alternative fuels for consumers in addition to a comprehensive consumer information website. Our principal goal is to earn revenues by uniting buyers and sellers of alternative fuels for cars and trucks in the United States. In order to generate revenues during the next twelve months, we must:

 



24




1. Enhance our existing website – We believe that using the Internet for an alternative fuels directory and consumer information facility will provide us a base for operating our company. We registered the domain name www.drivewithethanol.com, and have developed a preliminary website, where we expect to expand the site to be more comprehensive. We have begun construction on the preliminary aspects of our website, and intend to have a fully developed website during the second quarter of 2012.

 

2. Develop and implement a marketing plan – Once we establish our presence on the Internet, we intend to devote our efforts to developing and implementing a plan to market our services to businesses. In order to promote our company and attract customers, we plan to advertise via the Internet in the form of banner ads, link sharing programs and search engine placements. We expect to generate some revenues from a directory of  service stations, selling alternative fuels during the third quarter of 2012, however, during the fourth quarter of 2010 we expect to formalize and implement a marketing scheme to provide retailers of alternative fuels with an additional marketing outlet.

 

3. Develop and implement a comprehensive consumer information website – In addition to providing a consumers with a directory of service stations selling alternative fuels for their cars, we intend to develop a consumer information website. This consumer information website is intended to let shoppers research the most detailed information regarding alternative fuels.

  

Woodward commenced its directory in December of 2008 , and as a result of its recent commencement of business activities has limited start-up operations and generated no revenues. Our operations, to date, have been devoted primarily to startup and development activities, which include the following:

 

 

  

Formation of the company;

  

Creation of our initial website, www.drivewithethanol.com

  

Research of our competition;

  

Development of our business plan

  

Research of software to assist us in our anticipated website development; and

  

Establishment of listing criteria.

 

         Woodward is a recently established business, with temporary offices at  915 Patricia Ave, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 Our director, officer, and sole stockholder created the business as a result of his interest in alternative fuels.  The office space is provided at no cost by our director.


These expected outcomes may not materialize in the event we are unable to execute our plan or raise the funds needed to implement our plan.

 

Business of Issuer

 

We are developing an online directory for retailers of alternative fuels such as E10, E85, and other flexfuels aimed at consumers. We intend to initially limit our directory to stations that offer these types of fuels. We believe that by limiting our directory that we stand a better chance of developing a marketplace for that is targeted to a specific set of advertisers. Upon completion of our website, Woodward is intended to have a website which we hope to be a fully automated, topically arranged, intuitive, and easy-to-use service that supports a searching experience in which sellers highlight various flexfuels exotic vehicles for sale in various location.   These expected outcomes may not materialize in the event we are unable to execute our plan or raise the funds needed to implement our plan.

 

One stop at www.drivewithethanol.com is intended to let consumers research online before making the actual purchase of flexfuels. We are designing our website, and browsing experience to let shoppers research detailed vehicle information including compatibility of various fuels, fuel reviews, any mechanical issues, fuel pricing and safety information, Consumers will be able to write reviews of various fuels on our site.

 



25




We intend to be an Internet destination and directory in the United States for consumers seeking information regarding automotive fuel products based on ethanol such as E10, E85, and other flexfuels. We intend to utilize the power of the Internet to aggregate in a single location an extensive network of industry participants and a comprehensive database of fuel information to create a directory that is local, regional and national in nature.

 

Based upon our business model, we intend to provide significant benefits to retailers, consumers and other industry participants by enabling them to advertise, interact and learn with what we believe is a significant online consumer audience related to alternative fuels.

  

Upon completion, we intend our website to allow consumers to effectively navigate a large database of service station listings in the United States, thereby optimizing their ability to find alternative fuels of their choice in their chosen geographic area. We also intend to provide one of the most comprehensive sources of consumer ethanol information.

  

Our business model is being built on multiple revenue streams from a variety of industry participants interested in marketing their services to our consumer audience. We anticipate generating our revenues primarily from fees from services stations and ethanol dealers. We also intend to generate revenues from advertising from companies interested in reach an environmentally conscious audience.

 

Our objective is to build and maintain a superior online directory for facilitating the marketing and sale of E10, E85 and other flexfuels to consumers. After developing a position in the market for our service, our main thrust of our strategy is to enhance our market position by growing our database of alternative fuel sales outlets, our database of information regarding the patterns of buyers, our network of dealers and the audience of users of our website.

 

Inefficiencies of Traditional Advertising Methods

 

There is a highly fragmented system of advertising and promotional methods are typically able to reach only consumers in a limited local or regional geographic area for alternative fuels. . Traditional mass advertising media, such as newspapers, radio or television, are also inefficient because they reach many consumers who are not consumers of flexfuels and  they do not provide a means to target advertising to consumers who are likely to purchase based upon their individual preferences and interests. Moreover, the costs associated with traditional mass advertising typically rise every year, generally without attendant increases in the size or precision of the audience delivery.

 

For the consumer, the process researching locations to buy alternative fuels is generally viewed as an inefficient process. Consumers historically have not had access in a single, centralized location to the information needed to research and evaluate automotive fuel purchasing decisions.

 

The Online Alternative Fuel Opportunity

 

Because of the size and fragmented nature of the fuel industry and its reliance on the exchange of information, the Internet provides an efficient platform for retailers to aggregate and disseminate information to consumers as well as to expose both consumers and dealers to an extensive range of buying opportunities. Compared with traditional media, the Internet provides significant advantages to retailers and dealers of alternative fuels in that they have the ability to target local buyers more cost-effectively, differentiate their products and services more effectively and expand the size of their market to reach potential consumers beyond their normal trading area.

 

We believe that consumers are increasingly using the Internet when making purchase decisions about alternative energy products because of the inadequacy of available information from other sources and the convenience of searching a database of aggregated automotive fuel information from the privacy of their home or office. While the Internet substantially increases the amount of information available for researching and evaluating automotive fuel purchasing decisions and choices, this information is often not aggregated at a central, organized source.

 



26




Our Solution

 

We believe that by providing a marketplace on the Internet where dealers and consumers of flexfuels can meet in a single location that we hope will deliver significant value. A powerful Internet marketplace can provide national chains, independent stations, truck stops, and distributors of flexfuel products and services and national advertisers an effective environment for reaching an economically and geographically diverse group of targeted consumers who have expressed an interest in alternative fuel information by logging onto our website. Our website is being designed to provide consumers with a "one-stop" destination that incorporates all aspects of content related to E10, E85, and other flexfuels.

 

Significant Benefits to Retailers

 

If we are able to structure our website the way we envision the website in our business plan, then we believe we will provide significant benefits to consumers such as:


Significant Benefits to Consumers


We expect that our website will become a consumer destination for ethanol associated fuels. We hope to allow consumers to compare prices and services of various flexfuel retailers in their areas.


•€€

Online Consumer Audience. We believe we can offer retailers a single point to reach consumers nationwide Who are interested in purchasing alternative fuels for immediate consumption.


•€€

Low Cost and Flexible Services. We intended to offer services to retailers on a local, regional or national basis. They will be able to post ads and directions to their outlets quickly and at a cost lower than traditional media.


•€€

Wide Range of Listing and Advertising Products.  We believe we will offer a host of products aimed at environmentally Friendly motoring.  We hope to also offer our customers


o  

enhanced listings, similar to bold listings in the Yellow Pages;


o  

inventory pages, which enable visitors to view a stations entire inventory of flexfuel products;


o  

website links, own website;


o  

website design and hosting, which provide retailers with their own website


o  

banner advertising, Web page as it is being viewed by a potential buyer determined by search criteria, including geography and vehicle year, make, model and pricing.


•€€

Access to Database of Consumer Buying Trends. Based upon the design of the software we intend to employ, we hope to have gathered Data that will show where flexfuels are most likely to be purchased and in which part of the country.


 

•€€

National Advertisers. By utilizing the wide range of targeted marketing offerings of Woodward, national advertisers may be able to gain exposure to a targeted group of exotic auto purchase-minded consumers at the moment when these consumers are directly engaged in a search for information regarding automotive products and services on our website. We intend to establish national advertising accounts with the automotive industry, however at this time no such contact has been established.

 

These expected outcomes may not materialize in the event we are unable to execute our plan or raise the funds needed to implement our plan.



27




 

STRATEGY

 

Our objective is to build and maintain an online directory for facilitating transactions between retailers and petroleum markers and consumers of ethanol associated fuels. We intend to accomplish our objective by pursuing the following strategic initiatives:

 

  

Enhance and Broaden Services and Content Offerings


We anticipate offering products and services such as expanded advertising and promotional opportunities, forms of enhanced listings, service station website services, and information related to the benefits of alternative fuels. We also plan to enhance and expand the selection criteria of our customer-driven search tools by allowing searches that include desired miles per gallon or carbon dioxide reduction levels to pinpoint even more effectively the alternative fuel of the consumer's choice. We currently do not have the required software to provide for the type of searches we anticipate; however we have commence the evaluation process.

 

We intend to further integrate content offerings with our search and purchase functions by deploying new enhanced versions of our website thereby further establishing ourselves as a comprehensive, independent destination for alternative fuel information and encouraging repeat user visits. Additionally, we intend to broaden the resources available to consumers by developing relationships with other leading automotive content providers working in environmentally friend areas of motoring.

 

  

Increase Brand Awareness and Consumer Traffic

 

We believe that building consumer and dealer awareness of the drivewithethanol.com brand and the products and services that we offer is critical to our effort to build an Internet marketplace destination for exotic used vehicle buying and selling and obtaining information regarding automotive products and services. We intend to focus our consumer marketing efforts primarily on online advertising with selected high traffic Internet portals and websites. Our strategy is to further increase our brand awareness and website traffic through advertising efforts encompassing online advertising methods and appearing at select trade shows for consumer automotive.

 

Services to Consumers

 

We intend to offer consumers a "one-stop" shopping website with all of the information and tools a consumer needs to purchase alternative fuels for their cars.

 

Service Station Search, Selection and Listing.

 

Our proposed website will make the service station search, selection and listing process easy by providing a searchable database of service station listings, a user-friendly online forms and access to maps and directions. More specifically, we intend to provide consumers with the following services:

 

 

Services to Other Industry Participants

 

We intend to offer vendors of automotive products and services the ability to reach purchase-minded, or service minded consumers on our website in order to capture sales opportunities for which we receive commissions and advertising fees. Our focus will be on industry participants selling products dedicated to environmentally responsible motoring in the event we are able to implement our business plan.

 

•€€

Searchable Service Station Listings. Search our database by city, state, zip code and geographic location and obtain contact information such as e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and maps with directions.

•€€

"Fuel FAQs” Lean about the different types of alternative fuels for your car




28







•€€

Product Information and Consumer Tools. We hope, our website will help consumers select the right vehicle for them based upon their individual preferences, price parameters and financial condition. We hope to provide consumers with expert reviews and advice relating to the automotive market. More specifically, we anticipate providing consumers with the following services:

•€€

Decision Guide. Complete a simple "Custom Search" question-and-answer form in our interactive decision guide to find out which vehicle best fits the consumer's desires, needs and budget.


•€€

Fuel Reviews and Comparisons. Review fuels from such leading content providers and other consumers.

•€€

Pricing Guides. A guide to prices at the pump for alternative fuels.


Aftermarket Goods and Services

 

Advertising. If we are successful with our website, we intend to provide national and regional industry participants, who sell aftermarket goods and services, with an effective, efficient and accessible website on which to promote their products and services.

 

Technology

 

In order to operate our website, we will be required to have a scalable user interface and transaction processing system that is designed around industry standard architectures and externally developed non-proprietary software, such as that provided by SAS. The system will be required to maintain operational data records regarding service stations.

 

The system will be required to have the capability to provide petroleum sellers, advertisers and vendors with online access to information relevant to their business. For example, these vendors should be able to access an www.drivewithethanol.com extranet (Dealers.drivewithethanol.com to manage their products and services by adding, modifying or updating their listings, as well as uploading pictures or text.

 

Our operations will be required to provide website services 24 hours a day, seven days a week with occasional short interruptions due to maintenance or system problems, such as power failures or router failures. We will be required to have two website hosting operations for redundancy and load distribution, with two separate locations. Both of these hosting facilities will be required to be state-of-the-art with multiple redundancies for power and network components. Additionally, at each facility, our systems will be required to have redundant units such as multiple Web servers and databases. These systems are expensive and cause us a capital outlay which were currently do not have.

 

Competition

 

We compete against a variety of websites offering similar content.  Barriers to entry on the Internet are relatively low; however, most other websites do not currently offer our proposed unique blend of service station listings, automotive products and services and relevant content offerings. We anticipate facing significant competition in the future from new websites that offer the same emphasis on environmentally responsible motoring and services and existing websites that introduce competing services.

 

Automotive Advertising Media

 

Our service station listing services, when available, will compete against a number of websites that offer both service station listing and general travel directions featuring service stations. We will also be competing with traditional media companies such as newspapers (print magazines specializing in environmentally responsible lifestyles which could include ownership and operation of motor vehicles.

 

Automotive Products and Services

 

Our proposed automotive e-commerce service offerings we hope , upon completion, compete against a verity of Internet and offline automotive companies. There are a number of websites that offer automotive products



29




and services, some of which have substantial used vehicle listings and shopping information. We will also face competition indirectly from traditional offline stores that offer automotive products and services similar to those proposed to be on our website.


Content Offerings

 

Our content offerings will compete with both Internet and offline content providers. There are a number of websites that provide content related to environmentally responsible living. In addition, print content providers such as magazines, books and newspapers also provide similar content.

 

We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting service stations, automotive vendors and advertisers should include:

 

•€€

a large volume of website consumer traffic;

•€€

an awareness of brand and brand loyalty;


•€€

the demographics of environmentally responsible consumers; and

•€€

the cost effectiveness of advertising on a website, including the ability to target advertising to specific audiences.

 

 

We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting consumers to our website are:


•€€

breadth and depth of service station listings;

•€€

brand awareness and loyalty;


•€€

ease of use;

•€€

website functionality, responsiveness and information;


•€€

a positive browsing experience for the consumer; and

•€€

quality of content, other service offerings and customer service.

 


Intellectual Property & Proprietary Rights

 

Upon completion of our website, we will regard substantial elements of our website and underlying technology as proprietary and attempt to protect them by relying on trademark, service mark and trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosure and transferring title and other methods. We currently do not have any technology we consider proprietary, as we are currently in our development stage.

 

Employees

 

We are a development stage company and currently have only one part-time employee, Benjamin Joffe, who is also our sole officer and director. We look to Mr. Joffe for his entrepreneurial skills and talents. It is Mr. Joffe who provided us our business plan. For a discussion of Mr. Joffe’s experience, please see “Director, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons.” Initially Mr. Joffe will coordinate all of our business operations. Mr. Joffe has provided the working capital to cover our initial expense. We plan to use consultants, attorneys, accountants, and technology personnel, as necessary and do not plan to engage any additional full-time employees in the near future. We believe the use of non-salaried personnel allows us to expend our capital resources as a variable cost as opposed to a fixed cost of operations. In other words, if we have insufficient revenues or cash available, we are in a better position to only utilize those services required to generate revenues as opposed to having salaried employees. We may hire marketing employees based on the projected size of the market and the compensation necessary to retain qualified sales employees: however we do not intend to hire these individuals



30




within the next 12 months. A portion of any employee compensation likely would include the right to acquire our stock, which would dilute the ownership interest of holders of existing shares of our common stock.

 

Mr. Joffe is spending the time allocated to our business in handling the general business affairs of our company such as accounting issues, including review of materials presented to our auditors, working with our counsel in preparation of filing our S-1 registration statement, and developing our business plan and overseeing the technological aspects of our business, including the analysis of various software companies capable of generating the type of software we require.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this filing.

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning anticipated trends in revenues and net income, projections concerning operations and available cash flow. Our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

 

Background Overview

 

Woodward Energy is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2006. We were formed to engage in the business of advertising and marketing service stations, retail outlets and truck stops selling ethanol based fuels such as E10, E85, and flexfuels. During our initial year of formation we concentrated our energies on analyzing the viability of our business plan, and establishing our business model. Additionally, we are in the process of expanding our website, which upon completion will address the aspects of our business concept as set forth below. We commenced limited operations in December 2008 through the posting of the initial page of our website (www.drivewithethanol.com) We have had no discussions and have no plans for a business combination or acquisition.

 

Results of Operations


For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010


There were no revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $1,940, compared to $40 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.


The company did not pay nor recognize any interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has only $28 in cash. With this, we do not have sufficient capital to meet our capital requirements for the next twelve (12) months. The Company had $28 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $68 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The investigation of prospective financing candidates involves the expenditure of capital.  The Company will likely have to look to our officer and director or to third parties for additional capital.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing or that the amount of any additional financing will be sufficient to conclude its business objectives or to pay ongoing operating expenses. We believe we will approximately need a minimum of $12,000 to implement our business plan effectively for the next 12 months which is less than the total amount derived from this offering. We expect to operate for six months upon completion the offering.  Once our website is fully operational, our funds will be used at approximately, $1,500 per month 

 

Over the next twelve months, we anticipate expenses will be approximately $12,000, which includes administrative costs, including professional fees and general business expenses, including costs related to complying with our filing obligations as a reporting company. We anticipate a deficiency of approximately $11,700. Our shareholder, Shoulder Parrott, LLC has indicated that it is prepared to loan such funds to us for these expenses, but there are no formal arrangements in this regard and it is not legally obligated to loan funds to us.  




32




In the event that additional funds are required for the six months after the offering, Shoulder Parrott, LLC has indicated it is prepared to loan such funds. There is no written agreement for these funds and Shoulder Parrott, LLC is not obligated to do so.


If 100% of the proceeds are raised, we will be able to launch a fully functioning website and begin preliminary marketing for approximately three months.

 

 

If 75% of the proceeds are raised we will be able to launch a scaled down website and operate for approximately two months.

 

 

If 50% or less of the proceeds are raised, we will not be able to commence any additional operations beyond our current website.

 


In the past, the officers and directors have provided any cash needed for operations, including any cash needed for this Offering.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company,” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, require estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Some of these estimates require difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the estimation processes involved, the following summarized accounting policies and their application are considered to be critical to understanding our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.


FACILITIES

 

We currently maintain an office 915 Patricia Ave, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103.


We have no monthly rent, nor do we accrue any expense for monthly rent. Shoulder Parrott, LLC provides us a facility in which we conduct business on our behalf. Shoulder Parrott, LLC does not receive any remuneration for the use of this facility or time spent on behalf of us. We do not believe that we will need to obtain additional office space at any time in the foreseeable future, approximately 12 months, until our business plan is more fully implemented.

 




33

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS

 

We intend to file for inclusion of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board; however, there can be no assurance that FINRA or NASDAQ will approve the inclusion of the common stock. Prior to the effective date of this offering, our common stock was not traded.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition, and other relevant factors. We have not paid or declared any dividends upon our common stock since our inception and, by reason of our present financial status and our contemplated financial requirements, do not anticipate paying any dividends upon our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends. We currently do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future on the shares of common stock. We intend to reinvest any earnings in the development and expansion of our business. Any cash dividends in the future to common stockholders will be payable when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, based upon the Board’s assessment of:

 

  

our financial condition;


  

earnings;

  

need for funds;

  

capital requirements;

  

prior claims of preferred stock to the extent issued and outstanding; and

  

other factors, including any applicable laws.


 

Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the common stock will ever be paid.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, since only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering because of certain restrictions on resale, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Our counsel has provided an opinion that the shares registered in this registration statement will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. This opinion is herewith filed as an exhibit.

 

 

Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 650,000. Of these shares, 150,000 will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless such shares are purchased by individuals who become “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as the result of the securities they acquire in this offering which provide them, directly or indirectly, with control or the capacity to control us. Our legal counsel has provided an opinion of this, which is hereto attached as an exhibit. Only the shares being offered under this registration statement will be tradable without further restriction. However, it should be noted that this is a “best efforts” offering and there is no guarantee that all 150,000 shares will be sold. Our officer and director will not be purchasing shares in this offering. The remaining 650,000 shares of common stock held by our existing stockholder are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The 50,000 of the shares making up the 650,000 that were issued, were issued on September 15, 2009 to our Officers and Directors. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144. As a result of the provisions of Rules 144, additional shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

 

  

no restricted shares will be eligible for immediate sale on the date of this prospectus; and

  

the remainder of the restricted shares will be eligible for sale from time to time thereafter upon expiration of their respective holding periods, subject to restrictions on such sales by affiliates and as restricted by a lock-up agreement.


Change in Accountants

On April 1, 2011, Woodward Energy Partners Inc. (the "Company") dismissed the firm of Gruber & Company as the Company's independent accountants and retained the firm of Kenne Ruan CPA as its new independent accountants.

Gruber & Company, LLC’s reported on the financial statements of Woodward Energy Partners Inc. for the year ends December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and the first Quarter of 2010. There were no disagreements with Gruber & Company during the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period through the date they were dismissed. The aforementioned financial statement reports did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that their reports for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 , 2008 included an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company was a development stage company and had not yet begun operations nor raised any monies to fund such operations. These factors raised substantial doubt as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern.



37




The dismissal of Gruber & Company, LLC and the decision to retain Kenne Ruan CPA was unanimously approved by Woodward Energy ’s board of directors.

From the date of the last audited financial statements through to April 1, 2011, the Company has had no disagreements, whether or not resolved, with Gruber & Company, LLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Gruber & Company’s satisfaction, would have caused Gruber & Company, LLC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. There were no events otherwise reportable under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S- K .

For the years ended December  31, 2008 and 2009  and the first quarter of 2010 through the date they were engaged the Company did not consult with Kenne Ruan CPA regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Woodward Energy Partners  financial statements or any other matters related to the company.

The Company has made numerous attempts through mail, email, telephone and fax to contact Gruber & Company in connection with the dismissal in order to obtain a letter referencing this disclosure. Gruber & Company has declined to respond and provide this letter.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Woodward Energy Partners Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Woodward Energy Partners Inc. (A development stage company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of  the years then ended and for the period May 12, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 We conducted our 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 audits 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Woodward Energy Partners Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended and for the period May 12, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations 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.

WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011


Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Organization: WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS INC. (the “Company”) was organized in the State of Delaware on May 12, 2006.  The Company’s primary business activity is to market and promote service stations and retail outlets that sell ethanol, E85 and E10 fuels, and other alternative fuels through our online website, (www.drivewithethanol.com.). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Basis of Presentation – Development Stage Company:

The Company has not earned any revenues from limited principal operations.  Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise” as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification No. 915 “Development Stage Entities”(“ASC 915”).  Among the disclosures required by ASC 915 are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception.

Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates:

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of assets and liabilities, and correspondingly revenues and expenses, depends on future events, the preparation of financial statements for any period necessarily involves the use of estimates and assumption an example being assumptions in valuation of stock options. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. These financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.

Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and common shares equivalents outstanding during the period.

Other Comprehensive Income:

The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss), and accordingly, net income(loss) is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.

Foreign Exchange Translation:

The accounts of the Company are accounted for in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification No. 830 (“ASC 830”), “Foreign Currency Translation”.  The financial statements of the Company are translated into US dollars as follows:  assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; income, expenses and cash flows at average exchange rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rate.

Monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of the Company are re-measured at year-end exchange rates.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts are re-measured at historical rates.  Adjustments which result from the re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of the Company are included in net income.

Stock-Based Compensation


The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 on January 1, 2006 using the "modified prospective" application method of adoption which requires the Company to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of January 1, 2006 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. The adoption of this standard did not affect the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011 there was $Nil of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted and no stock based compensation.  Since inception the Company issued 640,000 shares of restricted common stock to compensate for services rendered on its behalf for a value of $6,400.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 2 – Federal Income Taxes:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Accounting Standards Codification No. 740 (“ASC 740”), which requires a change from the deferred method to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.

Deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the  net  tax  effects  of  temporary differences  between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  statement  purposes  and the  amounts  used for  income  tax purposes.   Significant   components  of  the  Company's  deferred  tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:


 Deferred tax assets:

                   Federal and state net operating loss        

$           2,012

                   Equity instruments issued for compensation               6,400

                                                                

   

             Total deferred tax assets                

             8,412

Note 4 – Financial Accounting Developments:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-28, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations.” This update changes the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosure requirements were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. These changes which became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011 have not had an impact on the Company’s disclosures but may impact disclosures for future business combinations depending on acquisitions that are made in such periods.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” (“ASU 2011-04”). This guidance contains certain updates to the fair value measurement guidance as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for “Level 3” measurements, including enhanced disclosure for: (1) the valuation processes used by the reporting entity; and (2) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, if any. The provisions of this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited. The Company’s adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s fair value measurements, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This update requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These changes will be effective for the first quarter filing of 2012. The adoption of this update will change the manner in which the Company presents comprehensive income in the future.

WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

Notes to Interim Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Organization:

WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS INC. (the “Company”) was organized in the State of Delaware on May 12, 2006.  The Company’s primary business activity is to acquire a mining property for the purpose of exploration and development into a commercially viable operation

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Basis of Presentation – Development Stage Company:

The Company has not earned any revenues from limited principal operations.  Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise” as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification No. 915 “Development Stage Entities”(“ASC 915”).  Among the disclosures required by ASC 915 are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception.

Basis of Accounting:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all of the necessary adjustments to make them not misleading.  The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates:

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of assets and liabilities, and correspondingly revenues and expenses, depends on future events, the preparation of financial statements for any period necessarily involves the use of estimates and assumption an example being assumptions in valuation of stock options. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. These financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.


Net Loss Per Share:


Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and common shares equivalents outstanding during the period.



55




Other Comprehensive Income:


The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss), and accordingly, net income(loss) is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.

Foreign Exchange Translation:

The accounts of the Company are accounted for in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification No. 830 (“ASC 830”), “Foreign Currency Translation”.  The financial statements of the Company are translated into US dollars as follows:  assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; income, expenses and cash flows at average exchange rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rate.

Monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of the Company are re-measured at year-end exchange rates.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts are re-measured at historical rates.  Adjustments which result from the re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of the Company are included in net income.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 on January 1, 2005 using the "modified prospective" application method of adoption which requires the Company to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of January 1, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. The adoption of this standard did not affect the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012 there was $Nil of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted and no stock based compensation.  Since inception the Company issued 640,000 shares of restricted common stock to compensate for services rendered on its behalf for a value of $6,400.


Note 2 – Federal Income Taxes:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Accounting Standards Codification No. 740 (“ASC 740”), which requires a change from the deferred method to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.

Deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the  net  tax  effects  of  temporary differences  between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  statement  purposes  and the  amounts  used for  income  tax purposes.   Significant   components  of  the  Company's  deferred  tax liabilities and assets as of March 31, 2012 are as follows:


 Deferred tax assets:

                   Federal and state net operating loss        

$           3,512

                   Equity instruments issued for compensation               6,400

                                                                

   

             Total deferred tax assets                

             9,912

                   Less valuation allowance

Note 3 – Advances by an Officer:

Advances by an officer are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.

Note 4 – Financial Accounting Developments:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2011, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that fair value measurements and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This update requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These changes will be effective for the first quarter filing of 2012. The adoption of this update will change the manner in which the Company presents comprehensive income in the future.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This update provides companies with the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing updated qualitative factors, a company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance related to balance sheet offsetting. The new guidance requires disclosures about assets and liabilities that are offset or have the potential to be offset. These disclosures are intended to address differences in the asset and liability offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This new guidance will be effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.



Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 (248) -504-7586

 

Until, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is in addition to the dealers’ obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 24.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

      Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) makes provision for the indemnification of officers and directors of corporations in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify our officers and directors under certain circumstances from liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.

 

As permitted by the DGCL, our restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director shall be personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director. Delaware law does not permit the elimination of liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision in the restated certificate of incorporation is to eliminate the rights of this corporation and its stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of this corporation) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director thereof (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i)-(iv), inclusive, above. These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws.

 

Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that we have the power to indemnify, and our restated by-laws state that we shall 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 (other than an action by or in our right) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of this corporation or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. Our restated by-laws further provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on our own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of this corporation or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under our restated by-laws.

Item 26.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

      The following sets forth information relating to all previous sales of common stock by the Registrant which sales were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

In connection with consulting services rendered regarding this Registration Statement and the audit of the Company’s financials, Equivest, LLC was issued 200,000 shares of common stock in September, 2008 valued at $500.

 

For his service as and officer of the Company and $500 cash , Benjamin Joffe was issued 5 0,000 shares of common stock in September, 2009.

 

In connection with organizing and assisting with the development of the business plan of WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS INC., in September, 2008, Peter Klamka via Shoulder Parrott, LLC was issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for services and development of the business plan of WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS Inc and $50 cash.

 

In connection with organizing and assisting with the development of the business plan of WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS INC. and $50 cash , in September, 2008, Eric Joffe was issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for services and development of the business plan of WOODWARD ENERGY PARTNERS Inc.

 

These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the shareholder had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since she agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.

Item 28. Undertakings.

 

      The undersigned registrant undertakes:

 

          The undersigned registrant undertakes:

 

          (1) To file, during any period in which offer or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

            I. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

            II. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post -effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to  if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

            III. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to the information in the Registration Statement.

 

      (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

 

      (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

      (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of



60




any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:


 

 Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

 Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

 The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

 Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

              (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

                

                      (i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

      

Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any supplementary and periodic information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred to that section.

  

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to our certificate of incorporation or provisions of Delaware law, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission the indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether the indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of the issue.

 

6.  

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

i.  

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 



61







ii.  

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

iii.  

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

iv.  

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
