PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED ______, 2014
ELITE BOOKS INC.
3,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This is the initial offering of common stock of Elite Books Inc. and no public market currently exists for the securities being offered. A public market may never develop for the securities being offered, or, if a market develops, it may not be sustained.
We are offering for sale a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.03 per share in a direct public offering, without any involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers. The shares of common stock to be sold by us will be sold on our behalf by our President, without commission or other remuneration. The offering does not require that we sell a minimum number of shares; therefore not all of the shares may be sold. The amount raised may be minimal and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient amount to cover our expenses and may not even cover the costs of the offering. Should we be successful in selling all of the shares offered, we will receive $90,000 in proceeds before expenses. Any funds received as a part of this offering will be immediately available to us for our use. We have not made any arrangements to place the proceeds from this offering in an escrow, trust or similar account.
The shares are being offered at a fixed price of $0.03 per share for a period of one year (unless extended for up to an additional six months in the sole discretion of our board of directors) from the effective date of this prospectus. The offering shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date when the sale of all 3,000,000 shares is completed, (ii) when the Board of Directors decides that it is in the best interest of the Company to terminate the offering prior to completion of the sale of all 3,000,000 shares registered under the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is part or (iii) one year after the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended for up to an additional six months in the sole discretion of our board of directors.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”).
There has been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market maker file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for our common stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market maker who has agreed to file such application. There can be no assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on a stock exchange or a quotation service or that any market for our stock will develop.
Any funds received as a part of this offering will be immediately deposited into the company’s bank account and will be available for our use. If we fail to raise enough capital to commence operations investors may lose their entire investment and will not be entitled to a refund.
Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We will not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been cleared of comments and is declared effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer of sale is not permitted.
The date of this prospectus is ____, 2014

As used in this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Elite Books Inc.” refers to Elite Books Inc. The following summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus before making an investment decision to purchase our common stock.
ELITE BOOKS INC.
Elite Books Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on May 21, 2013. Our company is still in its initial stages of development. Our business intention is to conduct online book sales. Being a development stage company, we have no revenues and have limited operating history and we have not commenced selling books to date.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to develop our business operations (See “Description of Business” and “Use of Proceeds”).
We plan to earn revenue by selling books. We intend to offer books on specific intellectual subjects and charge a fee for it. Subjects will be on: archeology, history, historiography, linguistics, paleolinguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and genetics. Our company will aim to have exclusive rights from authors to sell this type of books. However we haven’t secured any exclusive rights yet.
Sales will be conducted online and aimed towards British market, Eastern Europe and America, targeting especially academic readers, institutions, scientists, historians and students. At a later stage we’ll aim to spreading our market segment and sell to a wider audiences throughout the world, with somewhat less academically oriented readings.
We are in the process of developing our website that will facilitate the sales. We have developed a business plan and a 12-month of operations plan. We plan to establish online sales through our purchased domain www.elitebooksinc.biz
We haven’t started any sales yet.
We do not anticipate earning revenues until we enter our commercial operations stage. Since we are at a development stage, we can provide no assurance that we will successfully prepare and produce products related to our planned activities.
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public trading market for our common stock and no guarantee that a trading market for our securities will ever develop.
From inception until the date of this filing, we have had limited operating activities. Our financial statements from inception (May 21, 2013) through the year ended March 31, 2014, reports no revenues and a net loss of $1,416.00.

In addition to the other information in this prospectus Elite Books Inc. has identified a number of risk factors that the company faces. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus and our financial statements and related notes before investing in our common stock. Investors should be aware of the existence of these factors and should consider them carefully in evaluating our business before purchasing the shares offered in this prospectus.
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS ASSOCIATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We are solely dependent upon the funds to be raised in this offering to develop our business, the proceeds of which may be insufficient to achieve revenues. We may need to obtain additional financing which may not be available.
We will require additional financing in order to establish profitable operations such financing may not be forthcoming. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms we find favorable. Failure to secure needed additional financing will have a very serious effect on our ability to develop operations or maintain our business.
If we do not attract customers, we will not make profit, which will ultimately result in a cessation of operations.
We currently have no customers to purchase any products from us. We have not identified any customers and we cannot guarantee we ever will have any customers. Even if we obtain customers, there is no guarantee that we will generate a profit. If we cannot generate profit, we will have to suspend or cease operations. Entire investment into this company is likely to be lost if we cannot provide goods at prices that generate profit.
Our short operating history makes our business difficult to evaluate.
We are a development stage company, with no significant history of operations. We were incorporated on
May 21, 2013, and we are a startup company with very little operating history. Our business is in the early stage of development and we have not generated any revenues to date. Significant additional development and marketing of our business is necessary prior to our achieving revenues or profitability.
Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. We may not successfully implement all or any of our business strategies or successfully address the risks and uncertainties that we encounter. These potential uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to operate our business, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Prior to having an inventory of products to sell, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if the effectiveness of our business plan is not forthcoming, we will not be able to continue business operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
The book sale industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively.
Book selling business is within a vibrant industry, the competition on the market is high. We are going to work in an industry which is highly competitive, serviced by what appear to be big companies, medium size companies, and also small size companies. When we rate competition as high, we mean that chances of a potential customer to go to another book selling company is high. Being longer on the market some competitors may have lower overhead cost structures and might be able to provide their products and services at lower prices than ours. There can be no assurance that our company will not encounter increased competition from some new market entrants that may be significantly larger and have greater financial and marketing resources. Elite Books Inc. is just entering the market in a small capacity, and we will compete for a market share with numerous companies where many of them already have built client base and have established and spread their advertising and marketing campaigns.
Failure of third parties, that are related to our business, to provide good quality products in a timely manner, could cause delays in delivery and offer of our products for sale, and completion of projects, which could damage our reputation and earnings, and have a negative impact on our relationships with customers and adversely affect growth.
Our success depends on our ability to provide products and complete projects in a timely manner, which in part could depend on the ability of third parties to provide us with timely and reliable services and products.
While offering our products and completing projects, we also rely on products that we purchase and utilize that meet our needs and specifications.
The warranties provided by our third-party suppliers (writers and publishers) typically limit any direct harm we might experience as a result of us relying on their product. However, there can be no assurance that a supplier will be willing or able to fulfill its contractual obligations and make necessary corrections or replace prints that we may try to sell. In addition, these warranties generally expire within several years or less, or may be of limited scope or provide limited remedies. If we are unable to avail ourselves of warranty protection, we may incur liability to our clients or additional costs related to the affected print/title, including costs and expenses to resolve the problem, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Moreover, any delays, damage, inefficiencies or interruptions, errors or misprints in the product or malfunctions in services to us — even if covered by warranties — could adversely affect the quality and performance of our work. This could cause us to experience difficulty retaining current clients and attracting new customers, and could harm our business, reputation and growth. In addition, any significant interruption or delay by our suppliers in delivery of services or products on which we depend could require us to spend considerable time, effort and expense to establish alternate sources for such products and services.
We are exposed to the credit risk of some of our future customers.
Our revenue will be dependent to a large extent on the creditworthiness of our future customers. During periods of economic downturn in the global economy, our exposure to credit risks from our customers increases, and our efforts to monitor and mitigate the associated risks may not be effective in reducing our credit risks. In the event of non-payment by one or more of our customers, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.
The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability claims and contract disputes which may reduce our profits.
Although we have not been party to any legal claims against us, we may in future be named as a defendant in legal proceedings where parties may make a claim for damages or other remedies with respect to our projects or other matters. If it is determined that we have liability, we may not be covered by insurance or, if covered, the dollar amount of these liabilities may exceed our policy limits. Any liability not covered by insurance, in excess of our insurance limits or, if covered by insurance but subject to a high deductible, could result in a significant loss for us, which claims may reduce our profits and cash available for operations.
The industry we are entering is subject to general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that adverse or other economic conditions will not have a material adverse effect on our business operating results and financial condition.
We believe that the industry we are in is sensitive to economic conditions, including national economic changes, international economic changes, and regional conditions in book sales business. In addition, our company's operating results may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates that may lead to a decline in economic activity all together.
Captive audience deficit
With our book titles on offer we might experience that we are being attracted to a fairly small amount of reader type. Since the titles of the books that are planned to be sold by Elite Books Inc. are quite academic, they might be unattractive to the general public on a large scale.
Our company website and online marketing could be prone to technical failures.
Because of the way our business is being planned we are likely to be exposed to technical failures. Servers and data risk an electronic and technical breakdowns and hacker attacks. These events could curtail our development.
As an “emerging growth company” under the jobs act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
|
-
|
Have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
|
|
-
|
Comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
|
|
-
|
Submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
|
|
-
|
Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive’s compensation to median employee compensation.
|
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. In other words, an emerging growth company can 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 remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these 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.
Because our president and sole director has other business interests, she may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our book selling business to fail.
Our President and sole director, Ms. Vesna Pesic, will devote only limited time to our operations. Ms. Pesic intends to devote approximately twenty hours per week to our business. Because our President and sole director will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to her. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a possible cessation of company operations.
Because our president and sole director owns 100% of our company’s shares and will own 30.7% upon the successful completion of this offering, she will make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to minority shareholders.
As of the date of this prospectus, Ms. Pesic, our President and sole director, owns 100% of our shares of common stock and will own 30.7% of our common stock if all of the shares registered as part of this offering are sold. Accordingly, she will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, issuance of additional shares, mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantial amount of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Ms. Pesic may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and may result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders. For example, the future issuance of additional shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by existing shareholders.
Because we do not have an escrow or trust account for shareholder’s subscription, if we file for bankruptcy protection or are forced into bankruptcy, or a creditor obtains a judgment against us and attaches the subscription, you will lose your investment regardless of the number of securities sold in the offering.
Your funds will not be placed in an escrow or trust account. Accordingly, if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, investors funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. If a creditor sues us and obtains a judgment against us, the creditor could garnish the bank account and take possession of the subscriptions. As such, it is possible that a creditor could attach your subscription. If that happens, you will lose your investment and your funds will be used to pay creditors.
Risks associated with this offering.
We arbitrarily determined the price of the shares of our common stock to be sold pursuant to this prospectus, and such price does not reflect the actual market price for the securities. Consequently, there is an increased risk that you as a shareholder may not be able to re-sell company’s common stock shares at the price you bought it for.
We determined the initial offering price of $0.03per share of the common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus arbitrarily. The price is not based on our financial condition or prospects, on the market prices of securities of comparable publicly traded companies, on financial and operating information of companies engaged in similar activities to ours, or on general conditions of the securities market. The price may not be indicative of the market price, if any, for our common stock in the trading market after this Offering. If the market price for our stock drops below the price which you paid, you may not be able to re-sell out common stock at the price you bought it for.
Our common stock may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. To be quoted on the OTCBB a market maker must file an application on our behalf to make a market for our common stock. As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have not engaged a market maker to file such an application, and there is no guarantee that a market marker will file an application on our behalf, and that even if an application is filed, there is no guarantee that we will be accepted for quotation. Our stock may become quoted, rather than traded, on the OTCBB. When/if our shares of common stock commence trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the trading price will fluctuate significantly and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.
As of the date of this Registration Statement, our common stock does not yet trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Our common stock may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. When/if our shares of common stock commence trading on the Bulletin Board, there is a volatility associated with Bulletin Board securities in general and the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock: (i) disappointing results from our development efforts; (ii) failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget; (iii) decline in demand for our common stock; (iv) downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates or changes in general market conditions; (v) technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies; (vi) lack of funding generated for operations; (vii) investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and (viii) general economic trends.
In addition, stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at a fair price and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of the company's securities.
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and rules of the Commission. We are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination of the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop, because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
We are selling stock in this offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares through our President Ms. Vesna Pesic who will receive no commissions. She will offer the shares to friends, family members, and business associates. However, there is no guarantee that she will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless she is successful in selling at least third of the planned stock and we receive the proceeds from it, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan.
Rule 144 sales in the future may have a depressive effect on the company's stock price.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by the present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of rule 144 under the securities act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Officers, directors and affiliates will be able to sell their shares if this registration statement becomes effective. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who is an affiliate or officer or director who has held restricted securities for six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding common stock. There is no limitation the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months if the company is a current, reporting company under the 1934 act. A sale under rule 144 or under any other exemption from the act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
Due to the lack of a trading market for our securities, you may have difficulty selling any shares you purchase in this offering.
We are not registered on any market or public stock exchange. There is presently no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the completion of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (“OTCBB”). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 to 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been no discussions or understandings between Elite Books Inc. and anyone acting on its behalf, with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.
We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance. Without revenue we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.
We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the close of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. We estimate the anticipated costs of being a public company to be approximately $10,000 per year. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
Our president and sole director has no experience managing a public company which is required to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
We have never operated as a public company. Ms. Pesic our President, has no experience managing a public company which is required to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required for a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment.
We may in the future issue additional shares of common stock, which will dilute share value of investors in the offering.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 2,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by investors in the offering, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of our company.
Though not now, in the future we may become subject to Nevada’s control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation. The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.
If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares.
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The offering price per share is $0.03. The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale in the amount of $30,000, $60,000 and $90,000 worth of the securities offered for sale by the Company. There is no assurance that we will raise the full $90,000 as anticipated.

In the event of raising $30,000 or less from the offering the costs for legal and professional fees and public company reporting are planned to be covered from director loans and not from the moneys raised in this offering.
Except for fixed costs, the amounts actually spent by us for any specific purpose may vary and will depend on a number of factors. Non-fixed costs, sales and marketing and general and administrative costs may vary depending on the business progress and development efforts, general business conditions and market reception to our services. Accordingly, our management has broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds to non-fixed costs.
An example of changes to this spending allocation for non-fixed costs include Management deciding to spend less of the allotment on equipment and more on marketing. Such changes to spending may occur due to seasonal variations in market demand for our services relative to when the funds are received.
Ms. Pesic has verbally agreed to loan the company more funds, if necessary, to complete the registration process but we will require funding from the sale of shares to implement our complete business plan. Ms. Pesic made a loan in the principal amount of $4,000 to Elite Books Inc.,
The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. It is not based upon an independent assessment of the value of our shares and should not be considered as such. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plan. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.03 per common share. This price is significantly higher than the price paid by our sole director and officer for common equity since the Company’s inception on May 21, 2013. Ms. Pesic, paid $0.002 per share for the 2,000,000 common shares.
Assuming completion of the offering, there will be up to 5,000,000 common shares outstanding. The following table illustrates the per common share dilution that may be experienced by investors at various funding levels.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
We are a development stage company and only recently started our operations. We have not generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. Our cash balance is $5,744.00 as of March 31 2014. Our current cash balance will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months and to qualify our minimum cash requirements necessary to fund 12 months of operations, if we are unable to successfully raise money in this offering. We have been utilizing and may utilize funds from Vesna Pesic, our President, Treasurer and Director, who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for offering costs, filing fees, professional fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and operation expenses. There is no a maximum amount of funds that our President has agreed to advance. Ms. Pesic has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. In order to achieve our business plan goals, we will need the funding from this offering.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues. If we are unable to obtain additional working capital our business may fail. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by shareholder in our company. We must raise cash to implement our projected plan of operations.
No proceeds will be used as direct or indirect payments to Ms. Pesic or her affiliates.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
•
|
have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
|
•
|
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
|
•
|
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
|
•
|
disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.
|
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. In other words, an emerging growth company can 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 remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 21, 2013. We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since incorporation, we have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets. We are a development stage company that has not generated any revenue and just recently started our operations. To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. Even if we are able to raise enough money through this offering to commence operations, we cannot guarantee that once operations commence we will stay in business after doing so. If we are unable to successfully attract customers we may quickly use up the proceeds from this offering.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to run our operations but we cannot guarantee this. If we are unable to successfully find customers we may quickly use up the proceeds from this offering and will need to find alternative sources. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
Upon completion of our public offering, which may take up to 180 days, our specific goal is to profitably sell our products. Our plan of operations is as follows:

COMPLETE OUR PUBLIC OFFERING
We expect to complete our public offering within 180 days after the effectiveness of our registration statement by the Securities and Exchange Commissions. We intend to concentrate our efforts on raising capital during this period. Our operations will be limited due to the limited amount of funds on hand.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no 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.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Since inception on May 21, 2013 to March 31, 2014, we have incorporated the company, prepared our business plan and entered into a contract with The Serbian Writers Association; the Agreement is filed as exhibit to this registration statement.
We have purchased assets in a form of set of books, 90 pieces, at a cost of $900.
Company has paid a bill of $1,200 for ordering a development of company website.
Our loss since inception is $1,416 for filing costs related to the incorporation of the Company. We have not commenced our business operations and will not do so until we have completed this offering.
We have generated no revenue since inception due to the fact that we are a development stage company and have not yet provided any services to any clients.
Since inception, we have sold 2,000,000 shares of common stock to our President and sole Director Ms. Pesic for net proceeds of $4,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $6,684 cash and our liabilities were $4,100, entirely comprising $4,100 owed to Ms. Vesna Pesic, our Director.
Since inception, we have sold 2,000,000 shares of common stock in one offer and sale, which was to our President and sole director, at a price of $0.002 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $4,000.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell all the shares offered. If we are successful, any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. We will attempt to raise the necessary funds to proceed through phases of our plan of operation. The sources of funding we may consider to finance this work include a public offering, a private placement of our securities and loans from our director or others.
We are highly dependent upon the success of the offerings, as described herein. Therefore, the failure thereof would result in the need to seek capital from other sources such as taking considerable amount of loans. However, if such financing becomes available, considering we are a development stage company, with no operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with loans and be subject to a high interest rates. At such time when these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via a public placement of its equity, or secure a loan, the Company would be required to cease its operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investment.
Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us to operate for at least one year and have the capital resources required to cover the material costs with becoming a publicly reporting company. The company anticipates administrative, reporting and legal costs over the next 12 months to be at $10,000 being a reporting public company.
Should the Company fail to sell less than 3,000,000 shares under this offering the Company would be forced to scale back or even abort completely the implementation of its currently planed 12-month plan of operation.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. The financial statements have, in our opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company reports revenues and expenses use the accrual method of accounting for financial and tax reporting purposes. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) applicable to development stage companies.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumption in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND CAPITALIZATION
The Company records depreciation and amortization when appropriate using both straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful life of the assets (five to seven years). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property’s useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriated accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 "INCOME TAXES" which codified SFAS 109, "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES" and FIN 48 "ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES - AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109."Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards statements No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
The Company computes per share information by dividing the net loss for the period presented by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during such period.
Business in general

We intend Elite Books Inc. and our website to be the ‘go-to’ destination for readers searching for literature in these areas. We are open to the possibility of expanding into related topics that are less academically orientated, once the business is fully operational but never-the-less we are proceeding with the firm belief that our specialist approach will secure us a market advantage.
As of the date of this prospectus we haven't started the sales yet. Since our inception we have developed a business plan and 12 month of operations.
Our books / subject list
Archeology
Analysts can read on environmental data and explore the human cultural heritage through our books that we plan to offer on archeology.
History
History books will give readers possibility to read on inquiries into the study of the past and study all possible sources of the past in order to establish the sequence of events, historical processes, objectively described facts and perhaps also give possibility to draw conclusions about the causes of events.
Historiography
Buyer of our books on this subject, among other, might be interested in social science of history and historical methodology. They may have interest in referring to historiography and historical works with certain specific issues. The study of historiography is not directly study of events of the past, but changes in the interpretation of these events in the works of some historical writers.
Linguistics
Books on linguistic are likely to explore how language shapes communication, forms social identity and group membership, organizes large-scale cultural beliefs and ideologies, and develop a common cultural representation of natural and social worlds. Our books on linguistics will be studies of human languages. Our client enthusiasts can be the ones that deal with this doctrine professionally or purely out of interest. The study of books on linguistics can disintegrate into several further axes of this subject.
Paleolinguistics
These books will, for the reader, be one of a number of destinations in the modern historical linguistic studies.
Philosophy
Readers of philosophy books might be interested in this discipline for study of the most common and essential characteristics of the fundamental principles of reality and cognition, human existence, human relations and world.
Anthropology
A large set of scientific books that we plan to offer involved in the study of man, his origin, development, existence in the natural and cultural environment.
Anthropology books will often cover anthropological subjects through commentaries, key articles, research reports, and other book reviews.

Apart from individual customers, all our books will also be offered to small, medium and large institutions and companies for their own use or for further distribution.

Building an organization of a strong and stable business structure while gaining confidence from our clients and our models by providing a good, concrete service and process of work. Our principal aim is to offer new book titles to the world.
MARKETING AND ADVERTISING/POTENTIAL CLIENTS

Elite Books Inc. intends to rely on our president and sole director, Vesna Pesic to market and publicize our business.

ASSETS
Company has purchased assets in a form of inventory of books, 90 pieces, at a cost of $900.
Company has invested so far $1,200 for the first part of the development of company’s own website.
CONTRACT
A Legal Agreement has been established with The Serbian Writers Association, the Agreement is filed as exhibit to this registration statement, the main terms are:

WEBSITE
Customers will access company website and, in addition to ordering books, can do targeted book searches, browse among highlighted selections, bestsellers and other features, read and post reviews, participate in offers when there is a promotion going on. We plan outsourcing the development of our website to an expert. We have selected a developer to start our website project. We have allocated at least $1,200 into development of our website in the first 12 months; this will later include providing following services and products for the website: disk space, bandwidth, pop mailboxes, e-mail forwarding, e-mailing aliasing, auto responder, front page support, unlimited FTP access, java chat, hot metal/miva script, shopping cart, secure the transactions by adding signio support, cyber cash support and macromedia flash.We intend to make the website use friendly and very simple. The website will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our online showcase and eventual store will enable us to deliver many good books on aforementioned subjects. We intend to make the shopping experience convenient and will likely categorize our books into easy- to-shop departments.
INSURANCE
We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the near future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party of an action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.
COMPETITION
There are a lot of competitors in e-commerce business segment. It is a challenge for a developer to find its niche market. Wrong positioning on the market, strong competitors, established companies can curtail our development.
There are barriers of entry in online business and level of competition is high. There are many domestic, international small and large businesses in this market, many of them are open for the whole world. We will be in direct competition with them. There are famous online bookstores that are considered to be among the leaders, like Amazon.com, Barnes Noble, Powell’s Books, Books-A-Million, Alibris and quite many others. These shops keep high positions in rates and have very large quantities of customers. Such companies have much greater financial capabilities than us and will be able to provide more favorable terms to the customers. Many of these companies are likely to have greater customer base than us. Also, many of these companies will be able to afford more generous price discounts than us as we can’t afford to do it at the beginning stages. As an alternative, we may have books that have not been published or sold by any of the other publishing companies or stores, which is why we may have an edge on the others.
VESNA PESIC
Ms. Vesna Pesic is a linguist by training. For the last 10 years our director Ms. Pesic has been owner and editor in chief at a publishing house Pesic & Sons. Her publishing house has published and edited over 300 books related to paleo-linguistics.

(1) A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
As of the date of this prospectus, there were 2,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
A total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our sole officer and director, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
There is no public trading market for our common stock. To be quoted on the OTCBB a market maker must file an application on our behalf to make a market for our common stock. As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have not engaged a market maker to file such an application, that there is no guarantee that a market marker will file an application on our behalf, and that even if an application is filed, there is no guarantee that we will be accepted for quotation. Our stock may become quoted, rather than traded, on the OTCBB.
There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, our common stock. There is one holder of record for our common stock. The record holder is our President and sole director who owns 2,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock.

Subscriptions for securities will be accepted or rejected within 48 hours after we receive them.
In connection with the Company’s selling efforts in the offering, Vesna Pesic will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer’s securities. Ms. Vesna Pesic is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act.

Ms. Vesna Pesic will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).

In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by the Company must be made at the fixed price of $0.03 until a market develops for the stock.
The Company will not offer its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares of common stock sold by the Company may be occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.03 per share.

As of March 31, 2014, there were 2,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that was held by one registered stockholder of record, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW
Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders and since this offering will not be made in the State of Nevada, no shares will be sold to its residents.

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by one of our director, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Elite Books Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Elite Books Inc. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period May 21, 2013 (Inception) through March 31, 2014. Elite Books Inc.’s management .is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Elite Books Inc. as of March 31, 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period May 21, 2013 (Inception) through March 31, 2014 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 3 to the financial statements The Company is in the development stage, has not earned revenue, has suffered net losses and has had negative cash flows from operating activities during the period ended March 31, 2014.These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period.

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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(c) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
2. To, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and to treat the offering of such securities at that time 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 hereby that remains unsold at the termination of the offering.
