FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER STATUS AND CURRENCY

Foreign Private Issuer Status

Rodman International Enterprise III, Ltd. (“we”, “our”, “us”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”). All of our ordinary voting shares, par value $.0001 per share (the “Voting Shares”) are held by non-United States citizens and residents, and our business is administered principally outside the United States (“U.S.”). As a result, we believe that we qualify as a "foreign private issuer" to register our class of Voting Shares using this Form 20-F and to continue to file our annual reports using Form 20-F.

Currency

The financial information presented in this Registration is expressed in U.S. Dollars, and the financial data in this Registration is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. All dollar amounts set forth in this report are in U.S. Dollars.

C. Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds

NOT APPLICABLE
 
D. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company is highly speculative in nature and involves an extremely high degree of risk.

There may be conflicts of interest between our management and our non-management shareholders.

Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of other investors. A conflict of interest may arise between our management's personal pecuniary interest and its fiduciary duty to our shareholders. Further, our management's own pecuniary interest may at some point compromise its fiduciary duty to our shareholders. In addition, Arnold P. Kling, Kirk M. Warshaw, Daniel Marty and Dr. Stefan Saladin, our officers and directors, are currently involved with other blank check companies and conflicts in the pursuit of business combinations with such other blank check companies with which they and affiliates of our majority shareholders are, and may in the future be, affiliated with may arise. If we and the other blank check companies that our officers and directors are affiliated with desire to take advantage of the same opportunity, then those officers and directors that are affiliated with both companies would abstain from voting upon the opportunity. Further, Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman & Renshaw”), a U.S. registered broker-dealer and affiliate of the principal holder of our Non-Voting Shares, may act as investment banker, placement agent or financial consultant to the Company or an acquisition candidate in connection with a potential business combination transaction and may receive a fee for providing such services. We cannot assure you that conflicts of interest among us, Rodman & Renshaw, our management and our shareholders will not develop.

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have no operating history.
 
As the Company has no operating history or revenue and only minimal assets, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and consummate a business combination. The Company has had no recent operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations since inception. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination.

There is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger transaction of the type contemplated by management.

The Company is in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.

6

 

Future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition.

The nature of our operations is highly speculative and there is a consequent risk of loss of an investment in the Company. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.

The Company has no existing agreement for a business combination or other transaction.

We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.
 
Management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate.
 
While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting very limited time to the Company's affairs in total. Our officers have not entered into a written employment agreement with us and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.

The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a U.S. public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.

Target companies that fail to comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.

7

 

The Company may be subject to further government regulation which would adversely affect our operations.

Although we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, management believes we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Investment Company Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.
 
Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.

If we enter into a business combination with a foreign company outside the U.S., we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the U.S. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.

There is currently no trading market for our Voting Shares, and liquidity of our Voting Shares is limited.

Our Voting Shares are not registered under the securities laws of any country, state or other jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for our Voting Shares. Further, no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until the Company completes a business combination with an operating business and the Company thereafter files a registration statement under the Securities Act. Therefore, our outstanding Voting Shares cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. It is possible that our Voting Shares cannot be sold under the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144 under or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act, in accordance with the letter from Richard K. Wulff, Chief of the Office of Small Business Policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance, to Ken Worm of NASD Regulation, dated January 21, 2000. The letter from Mr. Wulff did not address whether or not a foreign private issuer is subject to the interpretation provided in the letter, but it is possible that the SEC staff will take the position that the interpretation does apply to foreign private issuers. This letter provides that certain private transfers of the shares of capital stock also may be prohibited without registration under federal securities laws. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

8

 

The Company may be subject to certain tax consequences in our business, which may increase our cost of doing business.

We may not be able to structure our acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their shareholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with us or result in your being taxed on consideration received in a transaction. Currently, a transaction may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target entity; however, we cannot guarantee that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

If we are deemed to be a foreign private investment company, U. S. investors who invest in our securities may suffer adverse tax consequences.

If we are deemed to be a Foreign Private Investment Company, U.S. investors who invest in our securities may suffer adverse tax consequences. These consequences may include being subject to U.S. taxation at possibly adverse or higher rates and under a system that may be more complicated and unfamiliar to them.

The ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares in one or more series of shares without shareholder approval may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company. 

Our Memorandum of Association (the “Memorandum”) provides that our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) may authorize the issuance of shares in one or more classes of shares without shareholder approval. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional shares without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

The rights of our shareholders are not as extensive as those rights of shareholders of U.S. corporations.
 
Principles of BVI corporate law relating to such matters as the validity of the Company procedures, the fiduciary duties of management and the rights of the Company’s shareholders may differ from those that would apply if the Company were incorporated in a jurisdiction within the U.S. Under U.S. law, majority and controlling shareholders generally have certain “fiduciary” responsibilities to the minority shareholders. A U.S. shareholder action must be taken in good faith. Also, actions by controlling shareholders in a U.S. jurisdiction and executive compensation which are obviously unreasonable may be declared null and void. In addition, in most U.S. jurisdictions, directors owe a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders, including a duty of care, pursuant to which directors must properly apprise themselves of all reasonably available information, and a duty of loyalty, pursuant to which they must protect the interests of the corporation and refrain from conduct that injures the corporation or its shareholders or that deprives the corporation or its shareholders of any profit or advantage. Many U.S. jurisdictions have enacted various statutory provisions which permit the monetary liability of directors to be eliminated or limited. Under BVI law, liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation is basically limited to cases of willful malfeasance in the performance of his duties or to cases where the director has not acted honestly and in good faith and in the best interests of the corporation.

9

 

Further, BVI law does not protect the interests of the minority shareholders to the extent that the law in the U.S. protects the minority shareholders in U.S. corporations. Our shareholders may have difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by the Board of Directors and may have more limited rights than they might have as shareholders of a company incorporated in many U.S. jurisdictions. 

The protection available to the Company’s shareholders may be limited under BVI law.

The rights of our shareholders will be governed by the Memorandum and the Articles of Association of the Company (the “Articles”), as interpreted in accordance with the laws of the BVI.  Where any provision of any contractual arrangement between a shareholder and the Company or any third party is inconsistent with the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of the Company, the shareholder may be unable to claim certain remedies, including specific performance, for breach of such provision against the Company.  Any remedies available to a shareholder of the Company may be limited to remedies available under BVI law and regulation which may not afford the same protection to minority or other shareholders as is available under the laws or regulations of the shareholder’s home jurisdiction or under other jurisdictions' laws and regulations. 

Our status as a foreign private issuer entitles us to exemptions from certain reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. As such, we are exempt from certain of the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange, (“NYSE”). Should we seek to list our Voting Shares on the NYSE, because of these exemptions, shareholders may not be afforded the same protection or information generally available to shareholders holding shares in public companies organized in the U.S. and traded on the NYSE. However, the NYSE does not exempt foreign private issuers from independent audit committee requirements, and we will be required to disclose any significant ways our current corporate governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies under the NYSE listing standards.

Our business will have no revenues unless and until we merge with or acquire an operating business.

We are a development stage company and have had no revenues from operations. We may not realize any revenues unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.
 
The Company intends to issue more shares in a merger or acquisition, which will result in substantial dilution.

Our Memorandum authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 50,000,000 Voting Shares, 50,000,000 Non-Voting Shares and 1,000,000 shares of preferred shares, par value $.0001 per share (the “Preferred Shares” and together with the Voting Shares and Non-Voting Shares, the “Shares”). Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without shareholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our shares held by our then existing shareholders. Moreover, the shares issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm's-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of ordinary shares held by our then existing shareholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without shareholder approval. To the extent that additional shares are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our shareholders will occur and the rights of the holders of our shares might be materially and adversely affected.

10

 

The Company has not conducted market research or identification of business opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge with or acquire.

The Company has neither conducted nor have others made available to us results of market research concerning prospective business opportunities. Therefore, we have no assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us. Our management has not identified any specific business combination or other transactions for formal evaluation by us, such that it may be expected that any such target business or transaction will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to us. Decisions as to which business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our shareholders.

Because we may seek to complete a business combination through a “reverse merger”, following such a transaction we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
 
Additional risks may exist since we will assist a privately held business to become public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our ordinary shares. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our post-merger company in the future.
 
We cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business, our Voting Shares will be listed on NASDAQ or any other U.S. or foreign securities exchange. 
 
Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our Voting Shares on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our Voting Shares on either of those or any other stock exchange. After completing a business combination, until our Voting Shares are listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our Voting Shares would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our shareholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Voting Shares. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our Voting Shares, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.

11

 

Authorization of Preferred Shares.

Our Memorandum authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, where such Preferred Shares have ten votes per share and a liquidation preference equal to the subscription price paid per share. The Preferred Shares could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any of our Preferred Shares, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company
 
The Company was incorporated in the BVI on July 6, 2006 under the BVI Business Companies Act of 2004. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination and has made no efforts to date to identify a possible business combination. As a result, the Company has not conducted any negotiations nor entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing operating company.

The registered office of the Company is at Craigmuir Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The telephone number of the registered office is +1 (284) 494-2233.

(1) Form of Acquisition

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

The present shareholders of the Registrant will likely not have control of a majority of the Voting Shares of the Registrant following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of the Registrant's directors may resign and new directors may be appointed without any vote by shareholders.

12

 

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

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Registrant of the related costs incurred.

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

(2) Reports to security holders

(a) The Company is not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and at this time does not anticipate the distribution of such a report.
 
(b) The Company will file reports with the SEC. The Company will be a reporting foreign private issuer and will comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

(c) The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Section at 100 F Street N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov.
 
B. Business Overview

The Company, based on its proposed business activities, is a "blank check" company. The SEC defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Exchange Act, and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act, the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.

13

 

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company's principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The analysis of new business opportunities has and will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the officers and directors of the Registrant. The Registrant has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Registrant will consider the following kinds of factors:

(a) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;
 
(b)  Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

(c)  Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;

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

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

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

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

(h)  Other relevant factors.

  In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Registrant's limited capital available for investigation, the Registrant may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business. The Company will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The Company does not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money in our treasury, and/or through borrowings from our shareholders, management or other investors.

During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
(i)  
filing of Exchange Act reports and other regulatory costs; and
   
  (ii)  
costs relating to consummating an acquisition.
 
We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury, through deferral of fees by certain service providers and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our shareholders, management or other investors.

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

None of our officers or directors has had any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with us. Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.
15

 

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

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

The Company’s only internal and external sources of liquidity will be advances from our majority shareholder. The Company intends to obtain any additional working capital needed by requesting it from our majority shareholder. To form the Company and become registered with the SEC, an amount upwards of $45,000 will be spent, an amount greater than the initial capitalization of the Company. To date, the Company has incurred $23,533 of this estimated total and as of August 31, 2006 had working capital of approximately $1,500. As additional expenses are incurred, the Company shall obtain the necessary funds from its majority shareholder.

Operating expenses for periods subsequent to formation are estimated to be $20,000 or less per annum and will be funded by advances from our majority shareholder in the form of additional paid-in-capital. Cash and equivalents will be held in a U.S. domiciled bank account in either an interest bearing money market account or a non-interest bearing checking account.

There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be included in this table, or otherwise.

The Company was incorporated in the BVI under the BVI Business Companies Act of 2004 (the “BVI Act”) on July 6, 2006, as amended on August 22, 2006. Pursuant to the Memorandum, there are no restrictions on the business on which the Company may carry.

23

 

Directors

According to our Memorandum and Articles, there are no age limit requirements pertaining to the retirement or non-retirement of directors. Further, a director need not be a shareholder of the Company.

When a director of the Company is interested in a particular transaction of the Company, he shall disclose his interest to all other directors of the Company. The interested director may also (i) vote on a matter relating to the transaction, (ii) attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum, and (iii) sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction, and, subject to compliance with the BVI Act shall not, by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction and no such transaction shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit.

There are no specific provisions in the Memorandum or the Articles regarding a director’s power, in the absence of an independent quorum, to vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body or regarding the borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied.

Shares

The Company is authorized to issue a maximum of 101,000,000 Shares, par value $.0001 per share, divided into three classes, Voting Shares, Non-Voting Shares and Preferred Shares. The rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of the Company’s shares are as follows:

Voting Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Voting Shares. Holders of Voting Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders. Holders of Voting Shares possess the right to an equal share in any dividend paid by the Company to the class of Voting Shares. Upon liquidation, each holder of Voting Shares is given the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company subject to the liquidation preference for Preferred Shares.

Non-Voting Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 convertible Non-Voting Shares. Holders of the Non-Voting Shares do not have a right under the Memorandum or the Articles to attend or to vote at shareholder meetings. Non-Voting shareholders are entitled to receive such dividends as paid by the Company to the class of Non-Voting Shares. All outstanding convertible Non-Voting Shares shall automatically convert into an equal number of Voting Shares sixty-one days following the consummation of any transaction by which the Company ceases to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act or when the Company or a subsidiary thereof completes a business combination, merger, share exchange or similar transaction with an operating business. A holder of the Non-Voting Shares may agree in advance to convert to a lesser number of Voting Shares. Upon liquidation, each holder of Non-Voting Shares is given the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company subject to the liquidation preference for Preferred Shares.

24

 

Preferred Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 Preferred Shares. Each holder of Preferred Shares is entitled to ten votes per Preferred Share held on any resolution of shareholders. Holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to an equal share in any divided paid by the Company to the class of Preferred Shares. Upon liquidation of the Company, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a payment per share equal to the subscription price paid for the issue of that Preferred Share. Holders of Preferred Shares are given preferential treatment over holders of Voting Shares or Non-Voting Shares with regard to payments in the event of Company liquidation. In the event that the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay all holders of Preferred Shares, such available funds shall be distributed on a pro-rata basis. In the event of a surplus upon liquidation, each holder of Preferred Shares is given the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company.

The Company may by resolution redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire all or any of the Shares in the Company. However, pursuant to Article 3 of the Articles, the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Shares without the consent of the shareholders whose Shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless no such consent is required by the Memorandum, the Articles or other applicable law. To effect a purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Shares, a statement that the directors are satisfied on reasonable grounds that immediately after the acquisition the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liability and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due must appear in a resolution of directors. Shares purchased, acquired, or redeemed pursuant to the Articles may be cancelled or held as treasury shares except to the extent that such shares are in excess of 50% of the issued shares in which case they shall be cancelled but remain available for reuse. All rights and obligations attached to treasury shares are suspended and are not exercisable by the Company while it remains held as such. Treasury shares may be transferred by the Company by resolution.
 
Pursuant to the Memorandum, if at any time the Shares are divided into different classes, the rights attached to any class may only be varied, whether or not the Company is in liquidation, with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting by the holders of not less than 50% of the issued Shares in that class. Additionally, the rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

The Memorandum and the Articles have no provisions for surrender or sinking funds and for discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of Shares.

Shareholder Meetings

Pursuant to Article 7 of the Articles, any director of the Company may convene shareholder meetings in such manner and places within or outside the BVI as the director considers necessary or desirable. The director convening a meeting shall not give less than two days notice of the meeting to those shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting and to the other directors. A shareholder entitled to exercise 51% or more of the voting rights in respect to the matter for which the meeting is requested may, upon written request, request that the directors convene a meeting of shareholders. Directors of the Company may attend any meeting of shareholders and any separate meeting of the holder of any class or series of the Company’s Shares.

25

 
 
Other Provisions

There are no limitations on the right to own securities imposed by the Memorandum or the Articles or other constituent document of the Company. The laws of the BVI may impose limitations on the right to own securities; for example, a minor cannot hold legal title to shares in a BVI company.

The Company’s Preferred Shares could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

There is no special ownership threshold above which a shareholder’s ownership position must be disclosed.

C. Material Contracts
 
None.

D. Exchange Controls

There are no laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation of the BVI which restrict the import or export of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by the Company's group, the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities.

E. Taxation

There is currently no relevant capital gains tax, inheritance tax or gift tax in the BVI, and there is no taxation of income in the BVI.
 
There are no withholding provisions regarding taxes except in relation to the European Saving Directive (“the Directive”).  Withholding pursuant to the Directive, as implemented in the British Virgin Islands pursuant to The Mutual Legal Assistance in Tax Matters, Amendment Act (the “Act”) would only arise in relation to payments made to an individual resident in the European Union and if such payments were deemed interest under the Act.

F. Dividends and Paying Agents

RODMAN INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISE III, LTD.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - Organization, Business and Operations

Rodman International Enterprise III, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 6, 2006 with the objective to acquire, or merge with, an operating business. On July 6, 2006, the Company sold 2,500,000 shares of common stock for $250. As of August 31, 2006, the Company had not yet commenced any operations.
 
The Company, based on proposed business activities, is a "blank check" company. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines such a Company as “a development stage company” that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and is issued ‘penny stock,’ as defined in Rule 3a 51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in its securities, either debt or equity, until the Company concludes a business combination.

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation and, to a lesser extent, that desires to employ the Company’s funds in its business. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the officers and directors of the Company.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

At August 31, 2006, the Company has U.S. net operating loss carry forward of approximately $13,500, which expire in 2026. Based on the fact that the Company has not generated revenues since inception, the deferred tax asset of approximately $5,300 has been offset by a full valuation allowance. The organization costs attributed to the British Virgin Islands has been noted a permanent difference, since the British Virgin Islands does not have a income tax.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted net earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

NOTE 3 - Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of voting common stock, par value $.0001, and 50,000,000 shares of convertible non-voting common stock, par value $.0001, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. All outstanding convertible non-voting shares are automatically convertible into an equal number of voting common shares sixty-one days following the consummation of any transaction by which the Company ceases to be a “shell company” via a business combination, merger or share exchange with an operating business. During July 2006, the Company sold 2,500,000 shares of its non-voting common stock to three accredited related party investors and/or founding shareholders at par value for a total of $250. Separately, there were 10,000 shares of voting common stock issued for par value or $1.00 to another founding shareholder.
