NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

The Company was incorporated on July 10, 2012 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Creative App Solutions, Inc. On August 23, 2013, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed their name to Capstone Financial Group, Inc.

During the period of inception (July 10, 2012) through December 31, 2012, the Company had not commenced significant operations and, in accordance with ASC Topic 915, the Company was considered a development stage company. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company exited the development stage.

Nature of operations

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014 the Company changed its business plan and will use its own capital to acquire the outstanding stock of other companies, working closely and constructively with the management and boards of those companies, and aiming to significantly enhance their long-term earnings power and thus increase shareholder value. The Company will also actively trade in our strategic investment positions and will enter into private securities transactions with those positions to capitalize on price fluctuations and realize profits or minimize losses.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.

Investments

Investments primarily comprise strategic non-controlling equity ownership interests. These strategic investments are accounted for under either the equity method, at fair value, or at cost. The equity method of accounting is used when the Company has significant influence. Strategic investments with a readily determinable fair value are held at fair value. When strategic investments do not have a readily determinable fair value, and the Company is not considered to exert significant influence on operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is held at a value determined by the use of mark-to-model valuation techniques or is held at cost, less impairment if any.

Strategic investments are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the carrying values of the investments have not been impaired. If the Company determines that an impairment loss on a strategic investment has occurred due to a decline in fair value or other market conditions, the investment is written down to its estimated fair value

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the company has made a strategic investment for its own account; (3) the gain from our investment is fixed or determinable; and (4) the recognition of gains (realized or unrealized) from our investments.

The Company will record revenue when it is realizable and earned and the services have been rendered to the customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $33,703 in revenue related to financial services consulting and commissions that were assigned by an officer, director, and shareholder of the Company. The assignment was necessary since the officer, director and shareholder holds the proper licenses in order to conduct business.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are anticipated to be expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs included in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $21,048.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.

Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

The Company used level 2 inputs for the valuation of its trading securities.

Stock-based compensation

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718, which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

CAPSTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Earnings per share

The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation. As of September 30, 2014, there were no dilutive common shares outstanding.

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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of revenue

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there was $33,703 in revenue generated from one customer for consulting services. Additionally, there were realized and unrealized gains recorded from one security holding.

Income taxes

The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2014 the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company.

The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2014 no income tax expense has been incurred.

Recent pronouncements

The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through the date of this filing and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan and incurring startup costs and expenses. In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through debt and equity financing. The Company’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $54,574,184 including unrealized gains on trading securities of $54,522,426.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES

As of September 30, 2014, the Company held shares in one public company of which are all considered trading securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company transitioned the holdings from available for sale to trading based on management’s intent and the Company’s holding began trading on the OTCQB. The Company currently categorizes this holding as a level 2 asset.

NOTE 4 – LINE OF CREDIT RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTY

On September 13, 2013, the Company executed a revolving credit line receivable with an entity owned and controlled by an officer, director, and shareholder for up to $500,000. In October 2013, the amount was increased for up to $2,000,000. The unsecured line of credit bears interest at 2% per annum with principal and interest due on September 13, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company offset the amount due to the related party against the receivable balance because the entity was dissolved and cannot reasonably expect to get repaid.

NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

On August 8, 2013, the Company executed a revolving credit line with an entity owned and controlled by an officer, director, and shareholder for up to $500,000. The unsecured line of credit bears interest at 2% per annum with principal and interest due on August 8, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company offset the amount due to the related party against the receivable balance because the entity was dissolved and cannot reasonably expect to get repaid.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On June 3, 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive letter of intent with a private company, which was amended to an exclusive option agreement on June 27, 2014. Beginning October 1, 2014, the Company is obligated to provide $40,000,000 in funding to the private company, which will take the form of 36 monthly payments of $1,111,111.11 with each payment purchasing a corresponding number of shares of the private company's stock at $0.76 per share. For any monthly payment of $1,111,111.11 that the Company does not make after 30 days of its due, the private company can demand that the Company pay 102% of the past due payment in exchange for the same number of shares the Company would have received for making timely payment. In addition to the aforementioned obligation, the Company also has the right to purchase another 22,681,421 shares of the private company's stock at $0.76 per share. This right is exercisable in part or in full at any time during the three year period starting October 1, 2014.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock.

During January 2014, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for 100% of Capstone Affluent Strategies, Inc. (“Affluent”).

During February 2014, the Company issued 488,237 shares of common stock for cash of $415,000.

NOTE 8 – WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

As of September 30, 2014, there were no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 13, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Capstone Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded that the previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 failed to properly account for certain financial information. Consequently, the Board has concluded that for comparative purposes the previously issued unaudited financial statements and certain other financial information contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and the Company’s earnings releases and other financial communications subsequent to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (collectively, the “Prior Financial Information”), should no longer be relied upon.

The Board found through a thorough review that its Prior Financial Information did not properly reflect approximately $2.6 million in loans by a related party and approximately $3.2 million in Company expenses in 2013. The Company has engaged a new accountant and new auditor to revise and amend the Prior Financial Information.

The Board has discussed the matters disclosed in this Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm, Squar Milner, and its former independent registered public accounting firm, Seale & Beers, CPAs.

As a result of this, Management is reassessing its internal accounting process and control procedures and will report its conclusions in the 2014 Form 10-K.

The Company intends to file an amended Form 10-K with restated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and amended Form 10-Q with restated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 (collectively, the “Amended Reports”) as soon as practicable to correct the errors. The Amended Reports may also correct certain other immaterial errors in connection with the restatement.

·	adverse state or federal legislation or regulation that increases the costs of compliance, or adverse findings by a regulator with respect to existing operations;

·	inability to efficiently manage our operations;

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

General Business Development

Capstone Financial Group, Inc. (“Capstone” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in July of 2012 as Creative App Solutions, Inc. Creative App Solutions, Inc. was formed to design and sell mobile apps for smart phones and other mobile platforms such as tablets.

On August 26, 2013, we changed our name from Creative App Solutions, Inc. to Capstone Financial Group, Inc. The amendment occurred as a result of our stockholders approving the amendment at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and a subsequent vote by the Board of Directors.

On August 26, 2013, the Company entered into an Assignment, Assumption and Consent Agreement with Darin Pastor, our chief executive officer, wherein Mr. Pastor assigned the rights and obligations of the Engagement Agreement dated July 29, 2013 with Instant BioScan, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“IBS”), in exchange for the Company assuming the obligations of performance under the terms and conditions of the Engagement Agreement. The term of the Engagement Agreement was for a period of 270 days from the date of July 29, 2013. The agreement expired on April 25, 2014 and was not subsequently renewed by IBS.

On September 6, 2013, we effectuated a 20 to 1 forward split of the Company’s issued and unissued common stock as of September 23, 2013, the record date. Immediately after the forward split, the number of shares issued and outstanding increased to 90,200,000. The number of authorized shares increased from 100,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 common shares.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we changed our business plan to offer financial services and consulting to businesses and we rely heavily on an officer and director of the Company who holds the proper licensing to conduct our business.

On December 9, 2013, the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) to acquire a National Independent Broker-Dealer and Registered Investment Advisor ("RIA") for the price of $2 million. However, we terminated the acquisition of this firm in February of 2014.

On January 15, 2014, the Company completed the reverse triangular merger, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger”), by and among Capstone Sub Co. (“Sub Co”), a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Capstone Affluent Strategies, Inc. (“Affluent”), a California corporation, whereby Affluent became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the conditions to closing of the Merger, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for 100% of Affluent’s issued and outstanding common stock.

On February 19, 2014, the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) to acquire a California-based Broker-Dealer and Registered Investment Advisor ("RIA") for the price of $100,000. As of the date of this filing, we have postponed this transaction in order to focus on our holdings and trading positions.

On May 14, 2014, the Company executed a Rescission of Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Rescission Agreement”) effectively unwinding the Affluent transaction. The motivation being Affluent’s inability to produce audited financial statements as required per the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors has also authorized the cancellation of 1,000 shares issued in exchange for 100% of Affluent’s issued and outstanding common stock. On August 18, 2014, the 1,000 shares were cancelled.

During the second quarter of 2014 the Company changed its business plan and will use its own capital to acquire the outstanding stock of other companies, working closely and constructively with the management and boards of those companies, and aiming to significantly enhance their long-term earnings power and thus increase shareholder value. The Company will also actively trade in our strategic investment positions and will enter into private securities transactions with those positions to capitalize on price fluctuations and realize profits or minimize losses.

Business of Capstone Financial Group, Inc.

We are a holding company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. Capstone uses its own capital to acquire the outstanding stock of other companies. We own equity interests in operating businesses which are accounted for under the either the mark-to-market or mark-to-model method. Our primary sources of revenue are trading on short term trends and fluctuations in our equity positions and mark-to-market/mark-to-model treatment of equity positions.

Capstone continuously investigates possible acquisitions of positions in new businesses, securities and assets, and evaluates the retention and disposition of our existing holdings. Changes in the mix of our businesses and investments should be expected.

Current Strategic Investments

Blackcraft Cult, Inc. (OTCQB: BLCK):

Blackcraft Cult, Inc., a California corporation was founded in 2012 by serial entrepreneurs Robert "Bobby" Schubenski and James "Jim" Somers with a single hundred-dollar bill. The company began selling customized t-shirts and other apparel with inscriptions that advocated thinking for one's self and being responsible for one's own future. Through deep connections in the music industry, the brand started to gain traction, with musicians and artists such as Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, Ke$ha, Fallout Boy, Slayer, Deftones, and AFI. Blackcraft gained massive exposure through this medium, with band members wearing Blackcraft shirts in press photos, on stage, and in magazine articles such as Rolling Stone and Alternative Press. Schubenski and Somers have parlayed that exposure into a social media network of over 15 million followers.

In early 2014, Blackcraft shifted to a technology-based focus. The Blackcraft Zodiac dating app for Android and iOS-based smartphones is the brainchild of Schubenski and Somers. Zodiac capitalizes on Blackcraft's massive social media network. Using astrology, cutting-edge push technology and GPS/geolocation technology, Zodiac gives singles the power in the palm of their hand to discover their astrological soul mate and to know exactly where to locate that soul mate in real time. Zodiac generates revenue using a model similar to those of Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Competition

A large number of entities compete with us to make the types of investments that we target as part of our business strategy. We compete for such investments with a large number of venture capital funds, other equity and non-equity based investment funds such as business development companies, investment banks and other sources of financing, including traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and specialty finance companies. Many of our competitors are substantially larger than us and have considerably greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. In addition, some of our competitors may require less information than we do and/or have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than we can.

There can be no assurance that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Also, as a result of this competition, we may not be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time, and we can offer no assurance that we will be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with our investment objective.

Personnel

As of the date of this filing, we have 5 full-time employees.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014.

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $52,093,916. This amount consisted of a realized gain of 3,841 and unrealized gains totaling 52,090,075.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $222,595.

Payroll Expense. Payroll expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $51,092.

Bad Debt Expense. Bad debt expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were negative $3,706 due to the company recouping previously written off accounts.

Professional Fees. Professional fees were $55,046 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Other Income. The Company realized 33,335 in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest Expense – Related Party. Interest expense to related parties for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 10,853.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2014, we had $138,091 in cash, $54,529,860 in marketable securities, and $184,555 in prepaid expenses. The company's inability to raise additional capital raises questions about our ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock. As we continue and expand our activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations.

Even though we have begun to generate revenues, we can make no assurances and therefore we may incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our limited operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. In the future, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital.

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this Annual Report. To date, we have financed a majority of our operations through the issuance of stock and borrowings.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $830,730 for the period ended September 30, 2014. The Company implemented fair value accounting practices for its investments during the second quarter 2014.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the period ended September 30, 2014.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the period ended September 30, 2014 was $968,821 and was mainly attributable to capital raised through the sale of common stock and capital provided through our revolving credit grid notes.

Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock and debt financing. As we expand our activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of operating revenues. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. In the future, we need to generate sufficient operating revenues in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan.

Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop our line of products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions, we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s current management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Principal Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), who concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Principal Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Stockholders do not have the opportunity to evaluate our strategic investments or trading positions.

We have only recently begun to identify potential strategic investments and to trade positions we have acquired. Stockholders will not be able to evaluate the economic merits, transaction terms, or other financial or operational data concerning our strategic investments and trading positions. You must rely on us and our board of directors to implement our trading policies, to evaluate our investment and trading opportunities and to structure the terms of our strategic investments.

A significant portion of our trading positions will be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors and, as a result, there is and will be uncertainty as to the value of our strategic investments and trading positions.

We are required to carry our strategic investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined by our board of directors. Typically, there is not a public market for the securities of the privately held companies in which we intend to invest. As a result, we will value these securities quarterly at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. Decreases in the market values or fair values of our trading positions will be recorded as unrealized depreciation.

Certain factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of our trading positions include dealer quotes for securities traded on the secondary market for institutional investors, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the earnings, cash flow and ability to make payments on indebtedness of the companies comprising our trading positions, the markets in which the companies that comprise our trading positions do business, comparison to comparable publicly-traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time, and may be based on estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, our fair value determinations may cause the value of our trading positions on a given date to be materially understated or overstated compared to the value that we may ultimately realize upon the sale of those trading positions.

Ourstrategic investments in private companies planning to become reporting and trading and/or in “thinly traded” public companies are extremely risky, and we could lose all our part of our investment.

Many factors uncontrollable in their environments and within their company require us to assume a high degree of risk without the ability to mitigate such risk.

To date, our strategic investments are in illiquid private and thinly traded public companies.

Some of our strategic investments will be illiquid until there is a successful completion of SEC reporting to commence trading, which may never occur.

Our due diligence may fail to uncover relevant details that lead to a partial or total loss of the strategic investment.

Registering with the SEC cannot guarantee the identification or accuracy of relevant success factors for any company that comprises one of our strategic investments either before or after filing with the SEC, whether by fraud or accident.

Equity trading positions in strategic investments do not provide the degree of security associated with lending.

An equity investment without collateral, as with a “secured” debt investment, is very high risk without any guarantees to mitigate the loss of payment or return from a trading position.

We may not realize any dividend or capital gain return from our individual strategic investment or trading positions.

The companies comprising our trading positions may all fail and cause a total loss of our investment.

Valuation of our strategic investments may be totally inaccurate.

Unrestricted securities with market quotations in an active market are valued at the market closing price on the valuation date. All other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors and may differ significantly from other opinions of value. There is no guarantee that we will be able to realize the fair value of our Board of Directors upon disposition of the asset.

A lack of diversification due to our limited size and limited opportunities increases risk of loss.

A limited number of strategic investments and trading positions limits our ability to diversify and creates concentration in all variables associated with these positions.

Changes in debt, equity and other follow-on financial events for a company comprising one of our strategic investments may create substantial loss to the return on and return of investment in that company.

The board of such a company may change the financial structure of that company and reduce our financial gain and protection of principal to a loss from both equity and debt.

Defaults by companies that comprise our future strategic investments will harm our operating results.

Failure by a future strategic investment to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of its loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize that company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt or equity securities that we may hold. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants.

A lack of control over the management of a company comprising one of our strategic investments could allow that management to engage in activities that may decrease or destroy the value of that strategic investment.

Even though we intend to work closely and constructively with management and boards of the companies that comprise our trading positions, there is no guarantee the management and boards of these companies will heed our advice. As such, activities by the management of such a company can adversely affect the value of our strategic investment.

We generally will not control companies comprising our future strategic investments.

We do not expect to control most of the companies that will comprise our future strategic investments, even though we may have board representation or board observation rights, and our debt agreements may contain certain restrictive covenants. As a result, we will be subject to the risk that a company in which we take a position may make business decisions with which we disagree and the management of such company, as representatives of the holders of their common equity, may take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests as investors. Due to an expected lack of liquidity for our future positions in non-traded companies, we may not be able to dispose of our positions as readily as we would like or at an appropriate valuation. As a result, a company in which we take a position may make decisions that could decrease the value of that position.

We are dependent on our Board of Directors for their decisions concerning our strategic investments and future advisors.

The Board of Directors chaired by Darin Pastor decides and approves of the strategic investments of our company.

Our strategic investments may be subject to restriction on resale, and we may not be able to sell the positions we hold for amounts equal to their recorded value, if at all.

Some of our strategic investments may be or become comprised of thinly traded public companies or remain private companies. As a result, a majority of our current strategic investments and trading positions may be subject to legal restrictions on resale. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our positions for amounts equal to the values that we have ascribed to them or at the time, we desire to sell.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Stock Issuances pursuant to Subscription Agreements

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, we sold 522,000 shares of common stock to a total of 13 accredited investors for a total purchase price of $443,700, all of which was paid in cash.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 we sold 288,235 shares of common stock to a total of 6 accredited investors for a total purchase price of approximately $245,000, all of which was paid in cash.

We believe that the issuance and sale of the above securities were exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2), Regulation D, and/or Regulation S. The securities were issued directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipients of the securities were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of our company that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including our financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients, immediately prior to issuing the securities, had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment. The recipients had the opportunity to speak with our management on several occasions prior to their investment decision. There were no commissions paid on the issuance and sale of the shares.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

We did not repurchase any of our equity securities from the time of our inception through the period ended September 30, 2014.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.
