FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of Minn Shares Inc. (the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

Minn Shares Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 22, 2010 to effect the reincorporation (the “Reincorporation”) of Minn Shares Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Minn Shares Minnesota”) in the State of Delaware. On December 1, 2010 we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Minn Shares Minnesota, pursuant to which Minn Shares Minnesota was merged with and into the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the time of the merger, Minn Shares Minnesota ceased to exist and the Company continued as the surviving corporation. As a result, the Company succeeded to all of the assets, property, rights, privileges, franchises, immunities and powers of Minn Shares Minnesota and assumed all of the duties, liabilities, obligations and restrictions of every kind and description of Minn Shares Minnesota. Minn Shares Minnesota then ceased to exist. As a result of the Reincorporation, the legal domicile of the Company is the State of Delaware. It has no subsidiaries and the Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Minn Shares Minnesota was incorporated in the State of Minnesota on January 15, 1987 under the name H. H. & P. Yogurt, Inc., and on September 8, 1994, changed its name to Minn Shares Inc. Minn Shares Minnesota operated two yogurt shops: one in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and one in St. Paul, Minnesota. Both stores were ultimately closed by October 1990, at which time Minn Shares Minnesota ceased to engage in the yogurt business, and focused its business on locating a suitable merger or acquisition candidate or investigating the possibility of becoming a closed-end, non-diversified management company.

In August 1993, Minn Shares Minnesota filed a registration application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to become a closed-end, non-diversified management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), and began activity shortly thereafter. On August 3, 2001, Minn Shares Minnesota filed an Application for Deregistration of Certain Registered Investment Companies on Form N-8F (the “Form N-8F”), which was subsequently amended on September 14, 2001, at which time Minn Shares Minnesota requested deregistration. On September 27, 2001, Minn Shares Minnesota’s registration under the Investment Company Act ceased to be in effect.

Subsequent to the filing of the Form N-8F, as amended, and deregistration under the Investment Company Act, Minn Shares Minnesota appointed a liquidating agent to handle the winding-up of its business activities, affairs and obligations, distributing any remaining assets to its shareholders with the intent to ultimately dissolve Minn Shares Minnesota. All of the remaining net assets were distributed to its shareholders by the liquidating agent during the period between 2001 through 2009.

In 2009, upon the approval of Minn Shares Minnesota’s shareholders, Minn Shares Minnesota approved a plan to cancel its dissolution and accepted an offer from Paramount Trading, Ltd., a Nevada limited liability company (“Paramount”), to purchase a controlling interest in Minn Shares Minnesota. Subsequently, Minn Shares Minnesota was merged with and into the Company and was reincorporated in the State of Delaware.

On December 1, 2010, as described above, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 1, 2010, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 1,191,348 shares of common stock to the shareholders of Minn Shares Minnesota in exchange for the cancellation of 11,913,455 shares of Minn Shares Minnesota common stock issued and outstanding before the Reincorporation.

On May 16, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with The Globe Resources Group, LLC (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which Purchaser acquired the right to purchase (the “Option”), at any time through the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of the Option Agreement (the “Option Period”), 38,520,252 shares (the “Controlling Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, such that Purchaser shall obtain ninety-seven percent (97%) of the Company’s securities, at an aggregate purchase price that shall be equal to $202,564 (representing the principal amount plus accrued interest due to certain related parties as of March 31, 2013 (“Related Party Payables”) plus all accrued interest on Related Party Payables from April 1, 2013 through and including the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Option Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). The closing (the “Closing”) of the sale of the Controlling Shares, if such sale shall occur, may occur at any time during the Option Period upon no less than sixty-one (61) and no more than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice from Purchaser (the “Closing Date”) pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement. If Purchaser has not purchased the Controlling Shares prior to the expiration of the Option Period, and the Option Agreement is not extended by the mutual agreement of the Company and Purchaser, the Option Agreement and Purchaser’s right to purchase the Controlling Shares will terminate on May 16, 2014. Upon execution of the Option Agreement, Purchaser delivered an advance of $59,593 to the Company to cover its expenses during the Option Period, as further described in the Option Agreement.

As of December 31, 2013, $61,406, including $1,813 in accrued interest at 5% is payable to Purchaser in the event Purchaser determines not to exercise the option and the Company consummates a transaction with a third party purchaser. Any consideration resulting from such a sale shall be used by the Company as follows: first, payment of all Minn Shares’ costs related to the sale; second, repayment of related party payables plus five percent (5%) accrued interest; and third, reimbursement of all of Purchaser’s advances from the effective date of the Option Agreement through the expiration of the Option Agreement plus five percent (5%) accrued interest.

If the Option is exercised, upon Closing, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser the resignations of all of the Company’s officers and directors; provided however, that immediately prior to the resignation of all of the Company’s board of directors, the board of directors shall appoint one director chosen by Purchaser to serve on the board of directors after all of the Company’s current directors have resigned. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received notice from Purchaser of the intent to exercise the Option.

Since December 2001, Minn Shares Minnesota has not engaged in any business activities other than for the purpose of collecting and distributing its assets, paying, satisfying and discharging any existing debts and obligations and doing other acts required to liquidate and wind up its business and affairs. The current business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger with an existing company. We will not restrict any potential candidate targets to any specific business, industry or geographical location and thus may acquire any type of business.

The Company, pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.

The Company currently serves as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any industry, specific business or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The Company intends to establish a market for freely trading shares following the conclusion of a successful business combination and commencing business as an operating company.

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the Company’s officers and directors. As of this date, the Company has had discussions with others regarding a potential business combination with us. Except as provided by the Option Agreement we have not entered into any agreements, arrangement or understanding with respect to a business combination. Although the Company has limited funds available, the Company has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities in that it may seek a business combination target located in any business, industry or location. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Company will consider the following kinds of factors:

(a) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;

(b) Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

(d) Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;

(e) The cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;

(f) The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;

(g) The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and

(h) The impact whether financial or otherwise on the Company with respect to compliance with any federal or state regulations as required in order to complete a business combination.

In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Company's limited capital available for investigation, the Company may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about any opportunity evaluated. In evaluating a prospective business combination, we will conduct a due diligence review of potential targets based on information which may be available regarding private companies, although such review may be limited given our limited personnel and financial resources and the inexperience of our management with respect to such activities. We expect that our due diligence will encompass, among other things, meetings with the target business’s incumbent management and inspection of its facilities, as necessary, as well as a review of financial and other information, which is made available to us. This due diligence review will be conducted either by our management or by third parties we may engage, including but not limited to attorneys, accountants, consultants or such other professionals. While the Company does not have any agreements in effect with any third parties, one of the third parties, which the Company expects will assist the Company in identifying and conducting a due diligence review of potential business combination targets is Paramount. The costs associated with hiring third parties as required to complete a business combination are difficult to determine for the various reasons described below and may be significant. Our limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a target business before we consummate a business combination. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if we had more funds available to us, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent on making decisions upon information provided by the promoters, owners, sponsors or others associated with the target business seeking our participation.

The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete a business combination cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The amount of time it takes to complete a business combination, the location of the target company and the size and complexity of the business of the target company are all factors that determine the costs associated with completing a business combination transaction. The time and costs required to complete a business combination transaction can only be ascertained once a business combination target has been identified. Any costs incurred with respect to evaluation of a prospective business combination that is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us.

COMPETITION

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. There are numerous “public shell” companies either actively or passively seeking operating businesses with which to merge in addition to a large number of “blank check” companies formed and capitalized specifically to acquire operating businesses. Additionally, we are subject to competition from other companies looking to expand their operations through the acquisition of a target business. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. Our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business.

Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately held entities with a business objective similar to ours to acquire a target business on favorable terms.

If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. Many of our target business’ competitors are likely to be significantly larger and have far greater financial and other resources than we will. Some of these competitors may be divisions or subsidiaries of large, diversified companies that have access to financial resources of their respective parent companies. Our target business may not be able to compete effectively with these companies or maintain them as customers while competing with them on other projects. In addition, it is likely that our target business will face significant competition from smaller companies that have specialized capabilities in similar areas. We cannot accurately predict how our target business’ competitive position may be affected by changing economic conditions, customer requirements or technical developments. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources to compete effectively.

FORM OF ACQUISITION

The manner in which the Company participates in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such promoters.

It is likely that the Company will acquire its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) or other securities of the Company. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called “tax free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other “tax free” provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company prior to such reorganization. The Company does not intend to supply disclosure to shareholders concerning a target company prior to the consummation of a business combination transaction, unless required by applicable law or regulation. In the event a proposed business combination involves a change in majority of directors of the Company, the Company will file and provide to shareholders a Schedule 14F-1, which shall include, information concerning the target company, as required. The Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K, as required, within four business days of a business combination that results in the Company ceasing to be a shell company. This Form 8-K will include complete disclosure of the target company, including audited financial statements.

The present stockholders of the Company will likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Company following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of the Company’s directors may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.

In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders’ meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and may also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.

The Company intends to search for a target for a business combination by contacting various sources including, but not limited to, our affiliates, lenders, investment banking firms, private equity funds, consultants and attorneys. The approximate number of persons or entities that will be contacted is unknown and dependent on whether any opportunities are presented by the sources that we contact. It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Company of the related costs incurred. The costs that will be incurred are not ascertainable at this time as the costs are expected to be tied to the amount of time it takes to identify and complete a business combination transaction as well as the specific factors related to the business combination target that is chosen, including such factors as the location, size and complexity of the business of the target company. The Company has not established a timeline with respect to the identification of a business combination target. Due to our management’s affiliation with Paramount, we expect that Paramount may assist the Company in identifying a business combination target for us. There are currently no agreements or understandings between the Company and Paramount.

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Registrant of the related costs incurred. The Company has not established a timeline with respect to the identification of a business combination target. We expect that the Company’s management, through its affiliation with Paramount, will use its contacts and business relationships to identify a business combination target for the Company.

In the event of an acquisition, the Company does not anticipate that it or any member of its management will have a majority ownership in any potential target company and it is intended that any transaction will be structured so that the Investment Company Act of 1940 is not applicable. The Company has not set any minimum transactional value of any target company. The Company does not believe that its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the requirement for certified financial statements will have an effect on the pool of potential merger or acquisition candidates. The Company will seek out potential merger candidates that believe that public reporting status is beneficial, and therefore the candidate will understand the requirement to comply with the Exchange Act, including the requirement for certified financial statements. At the present, it is not expected that the payment of compensation to any director, officer or promoter will be a condition to which a target company must agree in order to complete a business combination transaction with such entity. The Company currently does not have a corporate policy in place with respect to related party transactions and at the present there is no intent to merge or acquire another company in which promoters, management or their affiliates or associates, directly or indirectly, have an ownership interest.

We presently have no employees apart from our management. Our officers and directors are engaged in outside business activities and are engaged as consultants on a full-time basis by certain third parties including Paramount. Our officers and directors will be dividing their time amongst these entities and anticipate that they will devote very limited time to our business until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. The specific amount of time that management will devote to the Company may vary from week to week or even day to day, and, therefore, the specific amount of time that management will devote to the Company on a weekly basis cannot be ascertained with any level of certainty. In all cases, management intends to spend as much time as is necessary to exercise its fiduciary duties as officers or directors of the Company.

We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.

Common Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Common Stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board market. As of March 31, 2014, there were 147 holders of record of the Common Stock.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

The Company does not have any equity compensation plans or any individual compensation arrangements with respect to its common stock or preferred stock. The issuance of any of our common or preferred stock is within the discretion of our Board of Directors, which has the power to issue any or all of our authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

If Purchaser has not purchased the Controlling Shares prior to the expiration of the Option Period, and the Option Agreement is not extended by the mutual agreement of the Company and Purchaser, the Option Agreement and Purchaser’s right to purchase the Controlling Shares will terminate on May 16, 2014. As of the date hereof, the Option has not been exercised by Purchaser.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

None.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The Company was reorganized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the next twelve months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The Company does not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. We expect that the costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next twelve months and beyond such time will be paid with amounts that may be loaned to, advanced to, or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors. We currently do not have any agreements, arrangements or understanding with any stockholders, management or others and there are no assurances that we will be able to receive the funds required to locate and consummate a business combination transaction.

We anticipate incurring expenses of at least $48,000 for the next 12 months in legal, accounting and other professional service fees related to the filing of Exchange Act reports and investigating and analyzing a business combination. The costs that will be incurred with respect to the consummation of a business combination are not ascertainable at this time as the costs are expected to be tied to the amount of time it takes to identify and complete a business combination transaction as well as the specific factors related to the business combination target that is chosen, including such factors as the location, size and complexity of the business of the target company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of the filing of this annual report, the Company is a shell company and has not earned any revenues from operations since 2001 and we have minimal funds in our treasury. Currently, however, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on our ability to locate a suitable target company and ultimately, enter into a possible reverse merger with such company. Management’s plan includes obtaining additional funds by equity financing through a reverse merger transaction and/or related party advances; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

The Company is currently devoting its efforts to locating merger candidates. The Company may consider a business that has recently commenced operations, is in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service or is an established business, which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company that does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.

Management does not have a timeline or a specific plan of action with respect to how or who it will contact. Management expects to locate a business combination target through management’s outside business and networking activities. Our officers and directors have had discussions with others regarding a potential business combination with us; we have not entered into any agreements, arrangement or understanding with respect to a business combination. Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

Our management anticipates that it will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and the dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.

The Company anticipates that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of a business combination with an SEC reporting company and/or a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had assets of $8,302. This compares with $3,394 assets as of December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has current liabilities equal to $275,256, comprised exclusively of payables, accrued expenses and amounts due to related parties. This compares with current liabilities of $207,978, comprised exclusively of payables, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties as of December 31, 2012. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013			Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012

Net Cash used in Operating Activities	$	(55,707	)	$	(42,819	)
Net Cash provided by Investing Activities		-			-
Net Cash provided by Financing Activities		60,496			45,189
Net Increase in Cash	$	4,789		$	2,370

The Company has nominal assets and has generated no revenues since 2001. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to continue operations.

Results of Operations

Since December 2001, the Company has not engaged in any business activities other than for the purpose of collecting and distributing its assets, paying, satisfying and discharging any existing debts and obligations and doing other acts required to liquidate and wind up its business and affairs. The Company has generated no revenue since 2001. It is unlikely the Company will generate any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. It is management's assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had a net loss of $62,370 consisting of accounting, audit, legal and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the preparation and the filing of the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 2013 quarterly regulatory filings, target company due diligence activities and interest expense. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $51,547, consisting of accounting, audit, legal and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the preparation and the filing of the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and 2012 quarterly regulatory filings, target company due diligence activities and interest expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Directors

Minn Shares Inc.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Minn Shares Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 position of Minn Shares Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues, suffered recurring losses from operations and has a shareholders’ deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Minn Shares Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 22, 2010 to effect the reincorporation of Minn Shares Inc., a Minnesota corporation (Minn Shares Minnesota) in the State of Delaware.

The current business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger with an existing company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of the enactment.

In evaluating the ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. Management establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be utilized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income, which must occur prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents when dilutive. There are no common share equivalents outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Investments

The carrying value of current financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair values due to their short term nature.

2. Going Concern

The Company is a shell company, has not earned any revenues from operations since 2001, suffered recurring losses from operations, and has a shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on its ability to locate a suitable target company and ultimately enter into a possible reverse merger with such company. Management’s plan includes obtaining additional funds by equity financing through a reverse merger transaction and/or related party advances, however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

3. Due to Globe

On May 16, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with The Globe Resources Group, LLC (“Globe”), pursuant to which Globe acquired the right to purchase, at any time through the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of the Option Agreement, 38,520,252 shares (the “Controlling Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, such that Globe shall obtain ninety-seven percent (97%) of the Company’s securities, at an aggregate purchase price that shall be equal to $202,564 plus all accrued interest on related party payables from April 1, 2013 through and including the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Option Agreement. Upon execution of the Option Agreement, Globe delivered an advance of $59,593 to the Company to cover its expenses during the Option Period, as further described in the Option Agreement.

Due to Globe in the amount of $61,406 consisted of an advance and $1,813 of accrued interest at December 31, 2013. The loan bears annual interest at 5% and interest expense for 2013 was $1,813. These amounts are payable to Globe in the event Globe determines not to exercise its option to purchase the Controlling Shares and the Company consummates a transaction with a third party purchaser. Any consideration resulting from such a sale shall be used by the Company as follows: first, payment of all Minn Shares’ costs related to the sale; second, repayment of related party payables plus five percent (5%) accrued interest; and third, reimbursement of all of Globe’s advances from the effective date of the Option Agreement through the expiration of the Option Agreement plus five percent (5%) accrued interest. In the event Globe does not exercise the Option and the Company does not a consummate a subsequent transaction with a third party purchaser, no amounts under the loan are payable to Globe.

4. Due to Related Parties

Due to related parties consisted of advances and expenses paid on behalf of the Company by Paramount Trading, Ltd. (“Paramount”), a company owned by one of the Company’s current shareholders, and the Company’s President and director. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, $210,373 and $200,136, including $23,464 and $14,130, respectively of accrued interest, is owed to these related parties. The advances bear annual interest at 5% and due on demand. Interest expense to related parties was $9,334 and $8,170 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

5. Income Taxes

A reconciliation between the expected federal income tax rate and the actual tax rate is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2013			2012

Statutory income tax rate		34.0	%		34.0	%
State income tax, net of federal benefit		6.5			6.5

A summary of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	December 31,
	2013			2012
Deferred tax assets:
Operating loss carryforwards	$	239,209		$	213,949

Total deferred tax assets		281,757			256,497
Valuation allowance		(281,757	)		(256,497	)

Net deferred taxes	$	-		$	-

Deferred income tax assets have been reduced by a valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. The valuation allowance increased by $25,260 and $16,421 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2013 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $590,000 for income tax purposes that expire starting in 2018. The Company established a valuation allowance for the full amount of net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2013 because it cannot demonstrate that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefit of that asset. In addition, future utilization of the available net operating loss carryforward may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of changes in ownership.

It is the Company’s practice to recognize penalties and/or interest related to income tax matters in the interest and penalties expense. There are no interest and penalties recognized in the statements of operations or accrued on the balance sheets.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examination by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carryforward is utilized in subsequent periods.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

There are not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President, Principal Financial Officer and Secretary, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management including the President, Principal Financial Officer and Secretary, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures

Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

●

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

●

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

●

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on financial statements.

As of December 31, 2013, we conducted a review of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31, 2013, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of the forms received by it during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that no person who, at any time during such fiscal year, was a director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock failed to comply with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal years.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions which is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 28, 2011.

Nominating Committee

We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Audit and Compensation Committee

The Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. The Company has determined that Greyton Becker is a qualified audit committee financial expert based on the experiences described herein. Our Common Stock is not quoted or listed on any national exchange and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any audit committee member or director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2)(A) and (c)(2)(A), an audit committee member is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee, or if the member accepts any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company other than for board service and is also an affiliated person of the Company. Under such standards, Mr. Becker would not be considered an independent financial expert because he also serves as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

The following table sets forth all compensation awarded to, earned by or paid by the Company to each of our named executive officers and directors for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

(1)	Richard E. Gilbert has served as President, Secretary and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company since inception and was elected to serve as a director of Minn Shares Minnesota on June 9, 2009 and was appointed to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Minn Shares Minnesota on such date. On July 5, 2010, Mr. Gilbert was appointed to serve as President and Chairman of the Board of Minn Shares Minnesota. Mr. Gilbert resigned as Chief Financial Officer of Minn Shares Minnesota on August 30, 2010.

(2)	Aaron W. Soderberg has been a director of the Company since inception and was elected to serve as a director of Minn Shares Minnesota in June of 2009.

(3)	Greyton Becker has served as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and a director of the Company since inception. He was appointed to serve as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and a director of Minn Shares Minnesota on August 30, 2010.

The Company’s officers and directors have not received any cash or other compensation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and we do not expect that they will receive any compensation until the consummation of an acquisition.

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

No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of its employees.

There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation that our management will receive after a business combination.

Compensation Committee and Insider Participation

The Company does not have a standing compensation committee or a committee performing similar functions, since the Board of Directors has determined not to compensate the officers and directors until such time that the Company completes a reverse merger or business combination.

Compensation Committee Report

The Company does not have a standing compensation committee or a committee performing similar function, and therefore does not have a compensation committee report.

Beneficial ownership also includes shares of stock subject to options and warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this table. As of the date of this table, there are no outstanding options or warrants.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

As of December 31, 2013, Paramount and Richard Gilbert have advanced and paid expenses for an aggregate amount of $210,373, including accrued interest, on behalf of the Company. Except as contemplated by the Option Agreement, described herein, there is currently no written agreement in effect with respect to repayment of such fees and expenses, although the Company has agreed to repay such amounts upon the Company entering into a business combination transaction. Unless the Option provided by the Option Agreement is exercised, the Company has verbally agreed to repay to Paramount Trading Ltd. all amounts that have been or may in the future, from time to time, be advanced to it or any third parties on behalf of the Company on the earliest to occur of any one of the following events (a) a Business Combination, (b) the third anniversary of the date such advance was made and (c) the Company becoming insolvent. “Business Combination” means an acquisition by or of the Company by merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, reorganization or otherwise, of or with an operating business. The Company has verbally agreed that it would repay such amounts at an interest rate equal to five (5) percent per annum.

The Company currently utilizes the office space and equipment of its management at no cost. Management estimates such amounts to be immaterial.

Director Independence

Our Common Stock is not quoted or listed on any national exchange with a requirement that a majority of our board of directors be independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2)(A), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she also is an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Under such definition, each of Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Becker would not be considered an independent director.

Except as otherwise indicated herein, there have been no other related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 and Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

Lurie Besikof Lapidus & Company, LLP (“LBL”) is the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed or to be billed by LBL for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements or services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings were $22,075 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and $22,500 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Audit-Related Fees

There were no fees billed by LBL for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Tax Fees

There was $1,200 in fees billed by LBL for income tax services for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

All Other Fees

There were no other fees billed by LBL for other products and services for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Process

The Board of Directors acts as the audit committee of the Company, and accordingly, all services are approved by all the members of the Board of Directors.
