Item 1.
Business
Background
China Golden Star Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 11, 2010. The Company has no operating history other than organizational matters, and was formed specifically to be a reporting "shell” company without any operating history and for the purpose of either merging with or acquiring an operating company with operating history and assets. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (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 Exchange Act, we also qualify as a “shell company” because we have 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. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.
The primary activity of the Company will involve seeking merger or acquisition candidates with whom it can either merge or acquire. The Company has not selected any company for acquisition or merger and does not intend to limit potential acquisition candidates to any particular field or industry, but does retain the right to limit acquisition or merger candidates, if it so chooses, to a particular field or industry. The Company's plans are in the conceptual stage only.
The executive offices of the Company are located at 4519 Admiralty Way, Suite A, Marina del Rey, California 90292. Its telephone number is (310) 482-6940.
Plan of Operation - General
The Company was organized for the purpose of creating a corporate vehicle to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in one or more business opportunities. At this time, the Company has no plan, proposal, agreement, understanding or arrangement to acquire or merge with any specific business or company, and the Company has not identified any specific business or company for investigation and evaluation. No member of Management or promoter of the Company has had any material discussions with any business with respect to acquisition by the Company. Although the Company's Common Stock is currently not freely tradable, it can eventually become so under exemptions such as Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. See “Description of Securities.” The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry or geographical location, and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. However, the majority of reverse merger transactions are currently taking place with private entities based in the People's Republic of China, and management expects that most of the reverse merger opportunities presented to the Company will likely involve Chinese companies. See "Risk Factors" for disclosure regarding special risks associated with an acquisition of a Chinese entity.
The discussion of the proposed business under this caption and throughout this Registration Statement is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
Contemporaneous with an acquisition or afterwards, the Company may obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation and growth of any acquired business. Persons purchasing securities in these placements and other shareholders will likely not have the opportunity to participate in the decision relating to any acquisition as the acquisition agreement may already be made. Consequently, the Company's potential success is heavily dependent on the Company's management, which will have virtually unlimited discretion in searching for and entering into a business opportunity. The officer and director of the Company has limited experience in the proposed business of the Company. (See “Risk Factors” and “Management”).
2
Management anticipates that it will only participate in one potential business venture. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another (see “Risk Factors”).
The Company may seek a business opportunity with a firm which only recently commenced operations, or a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, or seeking to develop a new product or service, or an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in the need for additional capital which is perceived to be easier to raise by a public company. In some instances, a business opportunity may involve the acquisition or merger with a corporation which does not need substantial additional cash but which desires to establish a public trading market for its common stock. The Company may purchase assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various business or purchase existing businesses as subsidiaries.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries, and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of a publicly traded corporation may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for the principals of a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all shareholders, and other factors. 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.
As is customary in the industry, the Company may pay a finder's fee for locating an acquisition prospect. If any such fee is paid, it will be approved by the Company's Director and will be in accordance with the industry standards. Such fees are customarily between 1% and 5% of the size of the transaction, based upon a sliding scale of the amount involved. Such fees are typically in the range of 5% on a $1,000,000 transaction ratably down to 1% in a $4,000,000 transaction. Management has adopted a policy that such a finder's fee or real estate brokerage fee could, in certain circumstances, be paid to any employee, officer, director or 5% shareholder of the Company, if such person plays a material role in bringing a transaction to the Company.
As part of any transaction, the acquired company may require that Management or other stockholders of the Company sell all or a portion of their shares to the acquired company, or to the principals of the acquired company. It is anticipated that the sales price of such shares will be lower than the current market price or anticipated market price of the Company's Common Stock. The Company's funds are not expected to be used for purposes of any stock purchase from insiders. The Company shareholders will not be provided the opportunity to approve or consent to such sale. The opportunity to sell all or a portion of their shares in connection with an acquisition may influence management's decision to enter into a specific transaction. However, management believes that since the anticipated sales price will be less than market value, that the potential of a stock sale by management will be a material factor on their decision to enter a specific transaction.
The above description of potential sales of management stock is not based upon any corporate bylaw, shareholder or board resolution, or contract or agreement. No other payments of cash or property are expected to be received by Management in connection with any acquisition.
The Company has not formulated any policy regarding the use of consultants or outside advisors, but does not anticipate that it will use the services of such persons.
The Company has, and will continue to have following the completion of and clearance of comments on this Form 10, insufficient capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. However, management believes the Company will offer owners of business opportunities the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a public company at substantially less initial cost than is required to
3
conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur significant post-merger or acquisition registration costs in the event they wish to register a portion of their shares for subsequent sale. The Company will also incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity including the costs of preparing post-effective amendments, Forms 8-K, agreements and related reports and documents nevertheless, the officer and directors of the Company has not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity, as opposed to engaging in an initial public offering or registering their existing company on Form 10. The total costs of effecting a reverse merger with the Company will likely be the same as if the business opportunity filed its own Exchange Act registration statement. A shell company (such as the Company) which already has registered its common stock on a Form 10, presents to many prospective business opportunities the perceived advantage of having passed one of the regulatory requirements (registration under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act) which is required for listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange or other US trading market. On its part, the Company will likely be required, as a condition of any acquisition transaction, to retire any existing liabilities it may have and indemnify the incoming business opportunity for any unknown liabilities. Since the Company will not engage in business operations, its only expected liabilities would be for legal, accounting, and transfer agent services, for payment of its annual franchise fees, and other fees and expenses which would be arranged for by management. However, there could be unknown liabilities which the acquired company could be responsible for, including liabilities for violations of the securities laws. The extent of unknown liabilities, by their nature (eg, unknown) cannot be predicted. Although the acquired company may require that Millennium Group indemnify them for any such liabilities, any agreement to indemnify for securities law liabilities might be unenforceable. Attempts to enforce an indemnification agreement might be costly and there can be no assurance that Millennium Group will have sufficient assets to satisfy any judgment obtained in such proceeding.The Company does not intend to make any loans to any prospective merger or acquisition candidates or to unaffiliated third parties.
Sources of Opportunities
The Company anticipates that business opportunities for possible acquisition will be referred by various sources, including its officer and directors, professional advisers, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals.
The Company will seek a potential business opportunity from all known sources, but will rely principally on personal contacts of its officer and director as well as indirect associations between them and other business and professional people. It is not presently anticipated that the Company will engage professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations.
The officer and director of the Company is currently employed in other positions and will devote only a portion of his time (not more than one hour per week) to the business affairs of the Company, until such time as an acquisition has been determined to be highly favorable, at which time he expects to spend full time in investigating and closing any acquisition for a period of two weeks. In addition, in the face of competing demands for his time, the officer and director may grant priority to his full-time position rather than to the Company. The officer and director is also the sole officer and director of 7 other companies with identical structure and business purpose as the Company. As a result, the officer and director will probably only be able to devote time to an acquisition for one of the 8 companies at any one time. See "Management-Conflicts of Interest."
Evaluation of Opportunities
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the officer and director of the Company (see “Management”). Management intends to concentrate on identifying prospective business opportunities which may be brought to its attention through present associations with management. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operation, if any; prospects for the future; present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available
4
and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. The officer and director of each Company will meet personally with management and key personnel of the firm sponsoring the business opportunity as part of his investigation. To the extent possible, the Company intends to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the above factors. The Company will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained.It may be anticipated that any opportunity in which the Company participates will present certain risks. Many of these risks cannot be adequately identified prior to selection of the specific opportunity, and the Company's shareholders must, therefore, depend on the ability of management to identify and evaluate such risk. In the case of some of the opportunities available to the Company, it may be anticipated that the promoters thereof have been unable to develop a going concern or that such business is in its development stage in that it has not generated significant revenues from its principal business activities prior to the Company's participation. There is a risk, even after the Company's participation in the activity and the related expenditure of the Company's funds, that the combined enterprises will still be unable to become a going concern or advance beyond the development stage. Many of the opportunities may involve new and untested products, processes, or market strategies which may not succeed. Such risks will be assumed by the Company and, therefore, its shareholders.
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of business, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its corporate life. It is currently impossible to predict the status of any business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need additional capital, may merely desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer.
Acquisition of Opportunities
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, franchise or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. It may also purchase stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, the present management and shareholders of the Company will not be in control of the Company. In addition, the Company's officer and director will, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, most likely resign and be replaced by new officers and directors without a vote of the Company's shareholders. The Memorandum and Articles of Association do not require shareholder approval for the acquisition of another company, and the Company does not expect that shareholder approval will be solicited. However, since the Company's sole shareholder is controlled by its management, and the Company does not expect to sell any additional shares prior to any acquisition, the issue of shareholder approval will not be a material factor in any acquisition.
Should we acquire a business opportunity doing business in the PRC, we may be required to structure such acquisition as a series of contractual relationships between the operating PRC company and a new PRC subsidiary of which we have direct ownership, in order to obtain control over the operating PRC company. rather than an acquisition of direct control. This would occur if we could not obtain Chinese governmental approval in connection with a proposed acquisition of a PRC operating company, or if the operating company operates in certain restricted industries such as telecommunications or internet services in which foreign companies are not permitted to invest. the contractual relationships might include, for example, management agreements under which our PRC subsidiary would have the right to manage the operating PRC company in return for substantially all of the net income of that entity. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership. For example, the operating PRC company could fail to take actions required for our business despite its contractual obligation to do so, and we might have to rely on legal remedies under Chinese law, which we cannot be sure would be available. In addition, the individual equity owners of the operating PRC company might not always act in the best interests of the Company.
See "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China (applicable if we acquire a PRC business)."
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable Federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of this transaction, the Company may agree to register such securities either at the time the transaction is consummated, under certain conditions, or at specified time thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the Company's Common Stock may have a depressive effect on such market. While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so called “tax free” reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to obtain tax free treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event, the shareholders of the Company would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which could result in significant dilution in the equity of such shareholders.
As part of the Company's investigation, the officer and director of the Company will meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information provided, check reference of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of the Company's limited financial resources and management expertise.
The manner in which each Company participates in an opportunity will depend on the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and other parties, the management of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such other management.
With respect to any mergers or acquisitions, negotiations with target company management will be expected to focus on the percentage of the Company which target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, the Company's shareholders will in all likelihood hold a lesser percentage ownership interest in the Company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event the Company acquires a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company's then shareholders. (See “Risk Factors).
The Company will not have sufficient funds to undertake any significant development, marketing and manufacturing of any products which may be acquired. Accordingly, following the acquisition of any such product, the Company will, in all likelihood, be required to either seek debt or equity financing or obtain funding from third parties, in exchange for which the Company would probably be required to give up a substantial portion of its interest in any acquired product. There is no assurance that the Company will be able either to obtain additional financing or interest third parties in providing funding for the further development, marketing and manufacturing of any products acquired.
5
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 costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity the costs therefore 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 of the Company of the related costs incurred.
Management believes that the Company may be able to benefit from the use of “leverage” in the acquisition of a business opportunity. Leveraging a transaction involves the acquisition of a business through incurring significant indebtedness for a large percentage of the purchase price for that business. Through a leveraged transaction, the Company would be required to use less of its available funds for acquiring the business opportunity and, therefore, could commit those funds to the operations of the business opportunity, to acquisition of other business opportunities or to other activities. The borrowing involved in a leveraged transaction will ordinarily be secured by the assets of the business opportunity to be acquired. If the business opportunity acquired is not able to generate sufficient revenues to make payments on the debt incurred by the Company to acquire that business opportunity, the lender would be able to exercise the remedies provided by law or by contract. These leveraging techniques, while reducing the amount of funds that the Company must commit to acquiring a business opportunity, may correspondingly increase the risk of loss to the Company. No assurance can be given as to the terms or the availability of financing for any acquisition by the Company. No assurance can be given as to the terms or the availability of financing for any acquisition by the Company. During periods when interest rates are relatively high, the benefits of leveraging are not as great as during periods of lower interest rates because the investment in the business opportunity held on a leveraged basis will only be profitable if it generates sufficient revenues to cover the related debt and other costs of the financing. Lenders from which the Company may obtain funds for purposes of a leveraged buy-out may impose restrictions on the future borrowing, distribution, and operating policies of the Company. It is not possible at this time to predict the restrictions, if any, which lenders may impose or the impact thereof on the Company.

Competition
The Company is an insignificant participant among firms which engage in business combinations with, or financing of, development stage enterprises. There are many established management and financial consulting companies and venture capital firms which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources, technical expertise and experience than the Company. In view of the Company's limited financial resources and management availability, the Company will continue to be a significant competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis the Company's competitors. According to the SEC's EDGAR website, there are approximately 1700 companies with the SIC code for blank checks (6770). Many of these blank checks are inactive or have already entered into an acquisition transaction, and many other companies may have abandoned their prior line of business and are now de facto blank check shell companies. There is no clearinghouse or central database of blank check companies, so it is impossible for management to estimate the number of potential blank check companies with which the Company will compete for business opportunities.
Regulation and Taxation
The Investment Company Act of 1940 defines an “investment company” as an issuer which is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading of securities. While the Company does not intend to engage in such activities, the Company could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event the Company obtains or continues to hold a minority interest in a number of development stage enterprises. The Company could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs if required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, management will continue to review the Company's activities from time to time with a view toward reducing the likelihood the Company could be classified as an “investment company.”
The Company intends to structure a merger or acquisition in such manner as to minimize Federal and state tax consequences to the Company and to any target company.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business
Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors, of public companies and to strengthen auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, and compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.
7
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to our stockholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14A; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders. Since we do not expect to solicit shareholder approval for any business combination, we do not expect to send any information or proxy statement to shareholders in connection therewith.
We will also be required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
If we are acquired by a “non-reporting issuer” under the Exchange Act, we will be required to file a Current Report on Form 8-K that will include all information about such “non-reporting issuer” as would have been required to be filed by that entity had it filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC.
We will also be prohibited from utilizing Form S-8 for the registration of our securities until we have not been a shell company for at least 60 days. Under subparagraph (i) of Rule 144, no sales of “restricted securities” issued by us while we are a shell company can be publicly sold for at least one year from when we file the Form 10 information about any acquisition, reorganization or merger that results in us no longer being considered to be a shell company.
Finally, the SEC, state securities commissions and NASAA (North American Securities Administrators Association) have expressed an interest in adopting policies that will streamline the registration process and make it easier for smaller reporting companies to have access to the public capital markets. The present laws, rules and regulations designed to promote availability to the smaller reporting company of these capital markets and similar laws, rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future will substantially limit the demand for blank check or shell companies like us, and may make the use of these companies obsolete.
Reports to Security Holders
Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be required to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. We will be required to file annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC. We will also be subject to the proxy solicitation requirements of the Exchange Act and, accordingly, will furnish an annual report with audited financial statements to our stockholders. Copies of this registration statement may be inspected, without charge, at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Copies of this material also should be available through the Internet by using the SEC’s EDGAR Archive, which is located at http://www.sec.gov. As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have an Internet web site.
Employees
The Company's only employees at the present time are its officer and director, who will devote as much time as the Board of Directors determine is necessary to carry out the affairs of the Company. (See “Management”).

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE IN NATURE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have extremely limited assets and no source of revenue.
We have virtually no assets and have had no revenues since inception. We will not receive revenues until we select an industry in which to commence business or complete an acquisition, reorganization or merger. We can provide no assurance that any selected or acquired business will produce any material revenues for us or our stockholders, or that any such business will operate on a profitable basis.
We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a merger or other business combination with a private company. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase unless we consummate a business combination with a profitable business. We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination, or that any such business will be profitable at the time of its acquisition by the Company or ever.
We face a number of risks associated with potential acquisitions, including the possibility that we may incur substantial debt which could adversely affect our financial condition.
We intend to use reasonable efforts to complete a merger or other business combination with an operating business. Such combination will be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in acquisitions, including, but not limited to, difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired companies and insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions we make could harm our business, our strategy and our operating results in a material way. Additionally, completing a business combination is likely to increase our expenses and it is possible that we may incur substantial debt in order to complete a business combination, which can adversely affect our financial condition. Incurring a substantial amount of debt may require us to use a significant portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on the debt, which will reduce the amount available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general purposes. Our indebtedness may negatively impact our ability to operate our business and limit our ability to borrow additional funds by increasing our borrowing costs, and impact the terms, conditions, and restrictions contained in possible future debt agreements, including the addition of more restrictive covenants; impact our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business as covenants and restrictions contained in possible future debt arrangements may require that we meet certain financial tests and place restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and place us at a disadvantage compared to similar companies in our industry that have less debt.
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 a yet to be identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot provide any assurance 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.
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 limited time to our affairs. Our officer have not entered into written employment agreements with the Company 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.
9
There can be no assurance that we will successfully consummate a business combination.
We can give no assurances 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. At the date of this filing, 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.
The terms for any future business combination that involve related parties or affiliates may not be on terms that are comparable to what could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
Our management and affiliates will play an integral role in establishing the terms for any future business combination. We do not have policies and procedures in place to govern transactions with related parties or affiliates, accordingly, these transactions may be negotiated between related parties without “arms length” bargaining and, as a result, the terms of these transactions may be different than transactions negotiated between unrelated persons.
Reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including establishing and maintaining acceptable internal controls over financial reporting, are costly.
The Company currently has no business that produces revenues; however, the rules and regulations pursuant to the Exchange Act require a public company to provide periodic reports which will require the Company to engage legal, accounting and auditing services. The engagement of such services can be costly and the Company is likely to incur losses which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require the Company to establish and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the limited time that management will devote to the Company may make it difficult for the Company to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a 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 SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of 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.
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, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargos, risks related to import and export restrictions and taxes applicable to shipments of raw materials and finished goods across national borders, and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States 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.
Risks Related to Our Stockholders and Shares of Common Stock
The Board of Directors has the right to amend the Memorandum of Association without shareholder approval, and may make amendments which reduce protection of shareholders.
As permitted by BVI law and the Memorandum of Association, the Board of Directors has the right to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association without shareholder approval. Therefore, the Board of Directors will have the sole power to change the name of the Company, its corporate purposes, to authorize additional shares of common stock or classes of stock with rights senior to the common stock, or to eliminate provisions which protect shareholders.
10
There is currently no trading market for our common stock, and liquidity of shares of our common stock is limited.
Shares of our common stock are not registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for the common stock. Further, no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until we complete a business combination with an operating business or the Company files and obtains effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Therefore, outstanding shares of common stock 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. Stockholders may rely on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), subject to certain restrictions; namely, common stock may not be sold until one year after:
(i) the completion of a business combination with a private company in a reverse merger or reverse takeover transaction after which the Company would cease to be a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and
(ii) the disclosure of certain information on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days thereafter, and only if the Company has been current in all of its periodic SEC filings for the 12 months preceding the contemplated sale of stock.
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.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further our business strategy.
We cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business, our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange.
Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Amex Equities. 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. After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if we 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 common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.
It is likely that our common stock will be considered “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.
11
Our common stock may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers.
The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A broker/dealer must receive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
We expect to issue more shares in a merger or acquisition, which will result in substantial dilution.
Our Memorandum of Association authorizes the Company to issue an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, our common stock 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 common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected.
Our Preferred Stock, if and when issued, could be convertible into up to one trillion shares of common stock
The Company's Memorandum of Association authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, of which no shares are issued and outstanding. Each share of the preferred stock shall be convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock and has the same voting, dividend and liquidation rights as common stock on an as converted basis. The Company currently has no plans to issue any preferred stock. As a result of the conversion rights of the preferred stock, if all the preferred stock is issued it will be equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) common shares.
Shareholders holding only one-third of our common stock may take action at any adjourned meeting.
Our Articles of Association provide that no less than 50% of the shareholders entitled to vote constitute the quorum requisite for the conducting of business, but, if such a quorum is present and the meeting is adjourned, the requisite quorum for the continued meeting is only one-third. As a result, it is possible that shareholder actions could be approved by only 50% of the 33.33% of the shareholders which are present at the adjourned meeting, or about 16.67% of our shareholders.
Risks Related to Doing Business in China (applicable if we acquire a PRC business)
Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi (“RMB”) into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of any PRC subsidiary we may acquire to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay cash or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our common stock.
12
Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could limit the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends or otherwise adversely affect the implementation of our acquisition strategy.
The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the foreign entities.
In April 2005, SAFE issued another public notice clarifying the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents had been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the issuance of the January notice, each of the PRC residents is required to submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch to register his or her respective ownership interests in the offshore company. The SAFE notices do not specify the timeframe during which such registration must be completed. The PRC resident must also amend such registration form if there is a material event affecting the offshore company, such as, among other things, a change to share capital, a transfer of stock, or if such company is involved in a merger and an acquisition or a spin-off transaction or uses its assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations. We will be required to notify our shareholders who are PRC residents to register with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notices. However, we cannot provide any assurances that all of our shareholders who are PRC residents will comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or approvals required by these SAFE notices. The failure or inability of our PRC resident shareholders to comply with the registration procedures set forth therein may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our cross-border investment activities, or limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to us.
As it is uncertain how the SAFE notices will be interpreted or implemented, it is difficult to predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy. For example, we may be subject to more stringent review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRC company, we cannot assure our shareholders or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the SAFE notices. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.
Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
13
The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Our revenues and costs will likely be denominated in RMB. An appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would also result in foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes when we translate our RMB denominated liabilities into U.S. Dollars, as the U.S. Dollar would likely be our reporting currency.
PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents, if applied to us, may subject the PRC resident shareholders of us or our parent company to personal liability and limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary's ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.
In October 2005 SAFE issued a public notice, the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, or the SAFE notice, which requires PRC residents, including both legal persons and natural persons, to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of China, referred to as an "offshore special purpose company," for the purpose of overseas equity financing involving onshore assets or equity interests held by them. In addition any PRC resident that is the shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to amend its SAFE registration with the local SAFE branch with respect to that offshore special purpose company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital transfer of shares, merger, division, equity investment or creation of any security interest over any assets located in China. Moreover, if the offshore special purpose company was established and owned the onshore assets or equity interests before the implementation date of the SAFE notice, a retroactive SAFE registration is required to have been completed before March 31, 2006. If any PRC shareholder of any offshore special purpose company fails to make the required SAFE registration and amendment, the PRC subsidiaries of that offshore special purpose company may be prohibited from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the offshore special purpose company. Moreover, failure to comply with the SAFE registration and amendment requirements described above could result in liability under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. After the SAFE notice, an implementation rule on the SAFE notice was issued on May 29, 2007 which provides for implementation guidance and supplements the procedures as provided in the SAFE notice.
Due to lack of official interpretation of SAFE notice and implementation rules, some of the terms and provisions in the SAFE remain unclear and implementation by central SAFE and local SAFE branches of the SAFE notice has been inconsistent since its adoption. It is likely that any of our PRC resident shareholders will be required to complete their respective SAFE registrations pursuant to the SAFE notice. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how the SAFE notice and its implementation rules will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE notice and implementation rules will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example our prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with the SAFE notice by our or PRC resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always complete the necessary registration procedures required by the SAFE notice. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect shareholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our or our parent company's PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident shareholders to comply with the SAFE notice, if SAFE requires it, could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our prospective subsidiary's ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.
PRC regulations may require us to rely on contractual arrangements for our China operations, which may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership.
If we cannot obtain SAFE approval in connection with a proposed acquisition of a PRC operating company, or if the operating company operates in certain restricted industries such as telecommunications or internet services, we may be prohibited from obtaining direct ownership of the PRC company. Instead, we would be required to enter into a series of contractual relationships between the operating PRC company and a new PRC subsidiary of which we have direct ownership, in order to obtain control over the operating PRC company. For accounting purposes, these PRC companies would be classified as "variable interest entities" ("VIEs"). We would be dependent on one or more VIEs in which we would have little or no equity ownership interest and must rely on contractual arrangements to control and operate these businesses. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership. For example, the VIEs could fail to take actions required for our business despite their contractual obligation to do so. If the VIEss fail to perform under their agreements with us, we may have to rely on legal remedies under Chinese law, which we cannot be sure would be available. In addition, we cannot be certain that the individual equity owners of the VIEs would always act in the best interests of the Company.
14
If we operate through a VIE structure in the PRC, it could result in additional taxes and in any event PRC law could result in our treatment as a PRC resident company on our worldwide operations.
If we are required to structure the acquisition of a PRC enterprise as a series of contractual relationships, we may incur a business tax of up to 5% when our directly-owned subsidiaries receive the fees from the VIEs pursuant to such contracts.. Due to the uncertainties surrounding the interpretation of the tax transfer pricing rules relating to related party transactions in the PRC, it is possible that tax authorities in the PRC might in the future challenge the transfer prices that we used for the related party transactions among our entities in the PRC.
Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”) and the Implementing Rules of the EIT Law (the “Implementing Rules”) approved by the State Council became effective in China, which require, among other things, enterprises in China to submit their annual enterprise income tax returns together with a report on transactions with their affiliates to the relevant tax authorities. The EIT law and the Implementing Rules emphasize the arm’s length basis for transactions between related entities. If PRC tax authorities were to determine that any transfer pricing structure was not on an arm’s length basis and therefore constitute a favorable transfer pricing, they could request that our VIEs adjust their taxable income upward for PRC tax purposes. Such a pricing adjustment may not reduce the tax expenses of our subsidiaries but could adversely affect us by increasing our VIEs’ tax expenses, which could subject our VIEs to late payment fees and other penalties for underpayment of taxes, and/or could result in the loss of tax benefits available to our subsidiaries in China.
The EIT Law supplemented by the Implementing Rules supersedes the previous Income Tax Law (the “Previous IT Law”) and unifies the enterprise income tax rate for foreign-invested enterprises (“FIEs”) and domestic enterprises at 25%. High and new technology enterprises will continue to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15%, but must meet the criteria defined under the EIT Law and related regulations. The EIT Law provides for a five-year transitional period for certain entities that enjoyed a favorable income tax rate of less than 25% and/or a preferential tax holiday under the Previous IT Law and was established before March 16, 2007, during which period the applicable enterprises income tax rate shall gradually increase to 25%. In addition, the EIT Law provides grandfather treatment for high and new technology enterprises that received special tax holidays under the Previous IT Law, which allows them to continue to enjoy their tax holidays until expiration provided that specific conditions are met. In addition, certain VIEs in China enjoy a favorable income tax rate of less than 25%. According to the EIT Law and the Administration Measures for Recognition of High and new Technology Enterprises, which was jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Science & Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Administration of Taxation on April 14, 2008, the high and new technology enterprise status of any PRC subsidiaries is subject to an annual review and may be overturned by the Municipal Science & Technology Commission in the future. The EIT Law is relatively new and implementation practices are still being defined. If tax benefits available to us as high and new technology enterprises in China are reduced or repealed, our net effective tax rate may increase to as high as 25%.
The EIT Law also provides that enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its global income. The Implementing Rules of the EIT Law merely defines the location of the “de facto management body” as “the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., of a non-PRC company is located.” We cannot predict whether our operations outside the PRC will be considered a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, due to limited guidance and implementation history of the EIT Law, if the Company is treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, we would be subject to PRC tax on worldwide income at a uniform tax rate of 25%.

Item 2. Financial Information
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
We are currently a development stage company and have not recorded revenues from operations to date. We have not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently devoting our efforts to obtain capital from management and significant stockholders to cover minimal expenses; however, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available. Our ability to continue as a going concern during the long term is dependent upon our ability to find a suitable company and acquire or enter into a merger with such company.
Our expenses of $2,555 through December 31, 2010 included $2,055 of organization expenses, which expensed as occurred, and professional fees of $500.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had assets equal to $3,695 comprised exclusively of cash. This compares with assets of $3,945, comprised exclusively of cash, as of June 30, 2010. The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 2010 totaled $250, comprised exclusively of monies due to a service provider. This compares to the Company’s current liabilities equal to $250 and $0, as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The Company has only cash assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The Company may be dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund the combined company following any acquisition or combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon Millennium Group to provide continued funding and capital resources. The shareholder has verbally represented to management that it has sufficient cash resources to fund our annual expected cash requirements of $3,000 per year for the next 3 years. If the shareholder determines not to loan funds after June 30, 2011 our plan of operations would terminate.
The type of business opportunity with which we acquire or merge will affect our profitability for long term. We 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 through a public offering.
Our management has not 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.
16
Our management anticipates that it will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and the dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
We anticipate 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3.
Properties
The Company is provided a nominal amount of office space by its officer on an as needed basis. Due to the minimal use of office space, no accrual has been made for this usage. We do not intend to pay any rent to our officer and directors for office space. The Company pays its own charges for long distance telephone calls and other miscellaneous secretarial, photocopying and similar expenses. We currently have no policy with respect to investments or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

Millennium Group, Inc. is an entity controlled by Mr. Jonathan A. Mork, the brother of our President and sole Director Jeremy Mork. Jeremy Mork is a manager of Millennium Group but does not have voting or investment power over Millennium Group, nor is he a party to any contract or arrangement under which he could become the "beneficial owner" of the shares held by Millennium Group, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13d-3.

Item 5.
Directors and Executive Officers
The members of the Board of Directors of the Company serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors have been elected. Directors may be removed with or without cause by shareholders holding 75% of the voting shares, and by the Board of Directors for cause. The officer serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Information as to the director and executive officer of the Company is as follows. The officer and director holds similar positions in seven other “blind pool-blank check” companies. See “Conflicts of Interest.”
Jeremy Mork, 41, Director and Officer. Jeremy Mork is our sole director and officer. Since 2000 Mr. Mork has served as a manager for Millennium Group, where he provides management services, company review, due diligence review and company advisory. Millennium Group focuses on assisting companies in strategic planning and mergers and acquisitions with special expertise with companies based in the Peoples Republic of China. Millennium Group performs management and corporate strategy consulting, mainly to companies pursuing cross border strategies. Millennium also provides company studies and due diligence reviews of Chinese companies, typically for US clients seeking to do business with those clients. Millennium is compensated on a fee basis for its services, which may be paid in shares of the Chinese company, and not on any commission basis. .Jeremy Mork is the brother of Jonathan Mork, the control person of Millennium Group, Inc, our sole shareholder. Prior to Millennium Group, Jeremy Mork worked as a trading market analyst/reporter at Redchip Review, a smallcap research and media company. Jeremy Mork's experience at Millennium Group has provided him with the experience believed necessary to evaluate potential business opportunities and to bring any proposed acquisition to completion. Mr. Mork attended college at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
Jeremy Mork is also the sole director and officer of seven companies which are identical in structure and business purpose to the Company: China Rising Star Limited, China Bright Star Limited, China Highlands Limited, Dunhuang Treasures Limited, Noble China Holdings Limited, Red Jade Holdings Limited, and Summer Highlands Limited. All of these companies have also filed Form 10s with the Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore on October 29, 2010 these companies, together with the Company, will have their common stock registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. See "Conflicts of Interest" below.
Millennium Group owns 5,468,500 shares, or 85.4% of Lunar Growth Corporation, a Cayman Islands "shell" company incorporated on September 27, 2006. Lunar Growth Corporation filed a Form 10 on December 4, 2006 and has not engaged in any reverse merger transaction. There have been no failed reverse merger attempts by Lunar Growth Corporation. Millennium Group owns 5,468,500 shares, or 85.4% of Pan Asian Corporation, a Cayman Islands "shell" company incorporated on September 27, 2006. Lunar Growth Corporation filed a Form 10 on December 4, 2006 and has not engaged in any reverse merger transaction. There have been no failed reverse merger attempts by Lunar Growth Corporation. Millennium Group is a passive investor in these two entities and does not intend to provide any input into these entities' search for an acquisition target while the companies described in the preceding paragraph are also seeking for an acquisition.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has determined that our sole director, Jeremy Mork, does not qualify as “independent” as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC and in the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. – Marketplace Rule 4200.
Conflicts of Interest
A conflicts of interest now exists and will continue to exist between the Company and its sole officer and director due to the fact that such officer and director has full time employment with Millennium Group to which he will devote his primary attention. Each officer and director may continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time should be devoted to the business of the Company.
In addition, the officer and director of the Company holds identical positions with seven other companies engaged in the same business as the Company: China Rising Star Limited, China Bright Star Limited, China Highlands Limited, Dunhuang Treasures Limited, Noble China Holdings Limited, Red Jade Holdings Limited, and Summer Highlands Limited. In the event a business opportunity is presented to the management, they will present the opportunity to the Company and to these companies in a random order of priority. None of these companies will pay any of management, its shareholders or any of their affiliates any compensation or expenses prior to entering into a definitive agreement. The expenses incurred by these persons in seeking for suitable acquisitions will be borne by each of them personally and reflected in the financial statements of the particular company to whom the opportunity is presented as an expense and as a contribution to capital. The promotors of the Company, and the above 7 affiliated companies, Jeremy Mork and Jonathan Mork, determined to form 8 sister companies because in Chinese culture 8 is a lucky number because the word for "8" sounds like the word for "fortune" or "wealth." For example, it is well known that the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics commenced on 08/08/08 at 08:08:08.
18
Should one of these 8 companies offer its securities prior to the consummation of any acquisition to any party other than Millennium Group, then there could exist a conflict of interest in Millennium Group's presentment of a business opportunity to one particular company of the 8 companies. Management has determined that neither the Company nor any of the other 7 companies shall make any offering of securities prior to the closing of any acquisition so that this issue does not arise. If Management were to change this policy, it recognizes that it would present the Company with a potential conflict and therefore will not make such a change in its intentions. The 8 companies must necessarily remain identical until any acquisition is made. It should also be noted that pursuant to Section 9.3 of our Articles of Association, and Section 4 of the BVI Companies Act, 2004 (the "BVI Act"), the Company is a "subsidiary" of Millenniun Group and for purposes of the BVI Act, Millennium Group is the "holding company" of the Company. Under Section 120(2)of the BVI Act, for so long as Millennium Group is the sole shareholder of the Company, a director of the Company may deem any corporate action which is in the best interest of Millennium Group to also be in the best interests of the Company, even though it may not in fact be in the best interests of the Company.
18
The Company has not established policies or procedures for the resolution of current or potential conflicts of interests between the Company, its officer and director or affiliated entities. There can be no assurance that management will resolve all conflicts of interest in favor of the Company, and failure by management to conduct the Company's business in the Company's best interest may result in liability to the management. The officer and director are accountable to the Company as fiduciaries, which means that they are required to exercise good faith and integrity in handling the Company's affairs. Shareholders who believe that the Company has been harmed by failure of an officer or director to appropriately resolve any conflict of interest may, subject to applicable rules of civil procedure, be able to bring a class action or derivative suit to enforce their rights and the Company's rights.
The Company has no arrangement, understanding or intention to enter into any transaction for participating in any business opportunity with any officer, director, or principal shareholder or with any firm or business organization with which such persons are affiliated, whether by reason of stock ownership, position as an officer or director, or otherwise.
Item 6.
Executive Compensation
No compensation is paid or anticipated to be paid by the Company until an acquisition is made. After an acquisition is made, the management of the Company will resign and be replaced by the control persons of the business opportunity which is acquired, and such control persons will determine the amount of any compensation payable to management. Shareholders of the Company will not have the opportunity to vote on or approve such compensation. Millennium Group, Inc. will have the opportunity to sell, and intends to sell its 400,000 shares of Company common stock following such acquisition, in compliance with Rule 144, one year after the business opportunity acquired files the "Form 10 information" required by Rule 144(i). The sales price for such shares cannot be predicted at this time, but the total amount realized may be substantial.
Item 7.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On incorporation of the Company on June 11, 2010, Millennium Group purchased 400,000 shares of our common stock for $6,000 cash. Our President Jeremy Mork is a manager of Millennium Group but does not control Millennium Group. Millennium Group is owned and controlled by Jonathan Mork, the brother of Jeremy Mork. Each of Millennium Group, Jeremy Mork and Jonathan Mork are "promotors" of the Company. Millennium Group owns 100% of the voting securities of the Company and is its parent. The terms of the stock purchase were determined arbitrarily by the three promotors and bears no relationship to the value of the Company's common stock.

Item 11.
Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered
Common Stock
The Company's Memorandum of Association authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of which 400,000 shares were outstanding as of June 30, 2010. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared, from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion, from funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase the Company's common stock. There are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The Company's Memorandum of Association authorizes the Board of Directors to effect a forward or reverse stock split, or make any other change thereto, without stockholder approval, provided that such amendment does not restrict the rights or powers of the stockholders to amend the Memorandum or the Articles, or to change the percentage of stockholders required to pass a resolution or to amend the Memorandum or the Articles.
Preferred Stock
The Company's Memorandum of Association authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, of which no shares are issued and outstanding. Each share of the preferred stock is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock and has the same voting, dividend and liquidation rights as common stock on an as converted basis. The Company currently has no plans to issue any preferred stock.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Of the outstanding shares of the Company, all are subject to resale restrictions and, unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or exempted under another provision of the Act, will be ineligible for sale in the public market. Sales may be made under Rule 144(i) after one year from the filing by the Company of "Form 10 information" following the acquisition of an operating company.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares privately acquired or indirectly from the Company or from an Affiliate, for at least six months, or who is an Affiliate, is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of such shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume in the Company's Common Stock during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 by Affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the Company. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least one year, is entitled to sell all such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the volume limitations, current public information requirements, manner of sale provisions, or notice requirements. Because the Company is a "shell" company as defined under the Securities Act, shareholders cannot use Rule 144 for resales of their securities until the Company has completed an acquisition and only then after one year after the Company has filed "Form 10 information" with the Commission.
20
Sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock of the Company in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices.
21
Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association
There are certain provisions of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association which are required disclosure if the Company were filing a registration statement on F-1 as a "foreign private issuer." These provisions are taken from the requirements of Item 10B of Form 20-F and are as follows.
(1)
Company's objects and purposes.
Section 5 of the Memorandum of Association provides as follows:
5.1
Subject to the Act and any other British Virgin Islands legislation, the Company has, irrespective of corporate benefit:
(a)
full capacity to carry on or undertake any business or activity, do any act or enter into any transaction; and
(b)

For the purposes of section 9(4) of the Act, there are no limitations on the business that the Company may carry on.
(2)
Powers of Directors
Article I of the Registrant's Memorandum of Association in which the term "Resolution of Directors" is defined, provides that the Board of Directors shall determine matters presented to it by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors present at the meeting, and also appears to provide that in certain circumstances that a director may be given more than one vote. The Company did not intend for its directors to have more than one vote per director, and intends to amend its Memorandum of Association to provide that each director shall have one vote in all matters presented to the Board of Directors.
Article 13 of the Registrant’s Articles of Association states:
13.1
A director of the Company shall forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested n a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to all other directors of the Company.
13.2
For the purposes of Sub-Regulation 13.1, a disclosure to all other directors to the effect that a director is a member, director or officer of another named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry into the transaction or disclosure of the interest, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction. [The Company interprets this provision to require disclosure of the affiliation prior to the entry into any transaction]
0.3.
A director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may:
(a)
vote on a matter relating to the transaction;
(b)
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
(c)
sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction,
22
and subject to compliance with the 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.
(ii)
Directors’ power, in the absence of an independent quorum, to vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body:
Article 8.13 of the Registrant’s Articles establishes the parameters for the payment of compensation to board members:
The directors may, by Resolution of Directors, fix the emoluments of directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company. [The Company interprets this provision as requiring that the compensation be approved by a majority of a quorum of directors, which quorum may include interested directors]
(iii)
Borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied:
Article 9.6 of the Registrant’s Articles establishes the borrowing powers exercisable by the directors as follows:
The directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party.
(iv)
Retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit.
The Registrant’s Articles contain no requirement for the retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit.
(v)
Number of shares, if any, required for qualification.
Article 8.14 of the Registrant’s Articles provides that a director does not require a share qualification.
(3)
Rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of shares:
The Registrant has authorized common shares and preferred shares, both par value, and is authorized to issue a maximum of 1,100,000,000 shares divided into two classes as follows:
(a)
1,000,000,000 common shares of no par value; and
(b)
100,000,000 preferred shares of no par value.
(i)
Dividend rights, including time limit after which dividend entitlement lapses.
Common shareholders are entitled to dividends as may be declared by the directors from time to time but no dividend shall be declared and paid out except if surplus and unless the directors determine that immediately after the payment of the dividend:
(a)
the Registrant will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of business; and
23
(b)
the realizable value of the assets of the Registrant will not be less than the sum of its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in the books of account, and its capital. All dividends unclaimed for three years after having been declared may be forfeited by the directors for the benefit of the Registrant.
(ii)
Voting Rights; staggered re-election intervals; cumulative voting.
Each of the Registrant’s common shares entitles the holder to one vote at any annual or special meeting of shareholders. Directors stand for re-election annually. The Registrant’s shareholders do not have cumulative voting.
(iii)
Rights to share in surplus in event of liquidation.
In the event of the Registrant’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up or other distribution of the Registrant’s assets, the holders of common shares will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all of the assets remaining after the Registrant’s liabilities have been paid out.
(iv)
Other.
Holders of the Registrant’s common shares do not have rights to share in the profits of the Registrant. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the Registrant’s common shares. Common shareholders have no liability as to further capital calls by the Registrant. There are no provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of the Registrant’s common shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of the Registrant’s common shares. Holders of the Registrant’s common shares do not have pre-emptive rights.
Article 3.1 of the Registrant's Articles of Association provides that the Registrant may redeem shares of the Registrant without the consent of the holder thereof if permitted by the BVI Business Companies Act, the Articles of Association or the Memorandum of Association. Since there is no provision in the Act, the Articles or the Memorandum for such a redemption, the Registrant intends to amend the Articles of Association to delete this provision.
(4)
Actions necessary to change the rights of holders of the Registrant’s common stock:
In order to change the rights of holders of a class of the Registrant’s stock, a vote of at least 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of that class is required.
(5)
Conditions governing manner in which annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders are convoked, including conditions of admission:
The directors may convene meetings of the members of the Registrant at such times and in such manner and places as the directors consider necessary or desirable, and they shall convene such a meeting upon the written request of members holding more than 30% of the votes of the outstanding voting shares in the Registrant.
Seven days notice at the least specifying the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and general nature of the business to be conducted shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned to such persons whose names on the date the notice is given appear as members in the share register of the Registrant.
24
No business shall be transacted at any meeting unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. A quorum shall consist of the holder or holders present in person or by proxy of not less than one-half of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series thereon and the same proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote thereon.
At any meeting of members whether on a show of hands or on a poll every holder of a voting share present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every voting share of which he is the holder.
A resolution which has been notified to all members for the time being entitled to vote and which has been approved by a majority of the votes of those members in the form of one or more documents in writing shall forthwith, without the need for any notice, become effectual as a resolution of the members. Holders are also entitled to vote by consent action signed by the required percentage of members (but less than 100%) if notice of the action is forthwith sent to all non-consenting shareholders.
(6)
Limitations on rights to own securities of the Registrant:
There are no limitations on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the securities of the Registrant which would be imposed by foreign law or by the charter or other constituent document of the Registrant.
(7)
Provisions of Company’s articles, charter or by-laws that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Registrant and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Registrant:
There are no provisions in the Registrant’s articles, charter or bylaws that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Registrant and which would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring of the Registrant.
(8)
Provisions, if any, governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed:
There are no provisions in the Registrant’s bylaws which require the disclosure of shareholder ownership above a particular threshold.
Exchange Controls
There are no foreign exchange controls in BVI and funds can be moved easily. There is no restriction in this regard. However, the PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi (“RMB”) into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of any PRC subsidiary we may acquire to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay cash or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our common stock.
Taxation
International Business Companies (IBCs) established in BVI are exempt from the payment of Income Tax and Stamp Duty in the BVI.
25
Non-residents of BVI are exempt from the income tax payable on dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensations and other amounts which are paid to the person by the IBC.
There are no capital gains taxes, inheritance taxes and death duties.
Double Taxation Agreements between the United Kingdom and Japan and Switzerland extend to the British Virgin Islands but do not generally apply to IBCs.
If we acquire a business operating in the PRC, we could be deemed to be a PRC resident company and our worldwide operations would be taxable under a 25% uniform rate. See "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China (applicable if we acquire a PRC business).
Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company has adopted provisions in its Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association that limit the liability of its directors and provide for indemnification of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted under the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004. Under the Company's Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association, and as permitted under the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004, the Company is required to indemnify a director for all expenses, including legal fees, and against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who: is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of the Company; or is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. This indemnification only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.
In addition, directors are not liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as directors. Such provisions do not, however, relieve liability for breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, liability for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, liability for transactions in which the director derived as improper personal benefit or liability for the payment of a dividend in violation of British Virgin Islands law. Further, the provisions do not relieve a director's liability for violation of, or otherwise relieve the Company or its directors from the necessity of complying with, federal or state securities laws or affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or recision.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification will be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification by any director or officer.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
China Golden Star Holdings Limited
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of China Golden Star Holdings Limited, (the Company), as of June 30, 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period from the date of inception on June 11, 2010 to June 30, 2010 then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from the date of inception on June 11, 2010 to June 30, 2010 then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We were not engaged to examine management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and has experienced negative cash flows from operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note B to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies of China Golden Star Holdings Limited (the Company), a company organized in the British Virgin Islands (A Development Stage Company) (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies presented in these footnotes conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. These financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The Company has not realized revenues from its planned principal business purpose and is considered to be in its development state in accordance with ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities”, formerly known as SFAS 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development State Enterprises.”
Organization, Nature of Business and Trade Name
The Company was organized in the British Virgin Islands on June 11, 2010 under the same name. The Company is a development stage company. The Company intends to locate a potential merger candidate and complete a merger. The Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
Basis of Presentation
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the respective periods being presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date. The Company currently does not have a means for generating revenue. Revenue and Cost Recognition procedures will be implemented based on the type of properties required and sale contract specifications.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at the expected net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivables. If there were a deterioration of a major customer's creditworthiness, or actual defaults were higher than historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of the amounts due to us could be overstated, which could have a negative impact on operations. Since he Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date, there was no accounts receivable at June 30, 2010.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. There was no advertising expense for the inception period of June 11, 2010 to June 30, 2010.
32
Stockholders’ Equity: Common and Preferred stock
The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 1,000,000,000 shares with no par value and the authorized preferred stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares with no par value. On June 11, 2010, the Company authorized the issuance of 400,000 shares of its no par value common stock at $0.015 per share in consideration of $6,000 in cash.
Net loss per common share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which now resides with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted averaged number of shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding since inception. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had 400,000 common shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2010 and since inception, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.
Basic Loss Per Share
The computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. There are no common stock equivalents outstanding.

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes.
Provision for Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely that not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components from Inception on June 11, 2010 to June 30, 2010:

Net Deferred Tax Asset
$
--
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the periods ended June 30, 2010 due to the following:
At June 30, 2010, the Company had an operating loss carry forward of $2,055 that can be used as an offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2010 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
33
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in the ownership occurs, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in the future.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of cash, advances, and accounts payable, including amounts due to and from related parties, approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance to remove the requirement for an entity that files financial statements with the SEC to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of this guidance during our current fiscal quarter did not have any impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
On July 1, 2009, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) became the sole source of authoritative Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) literature recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Rules and interpretive releases of the Security Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Except for applicable SEC rules and regulations and a limited number of grandfathered standards, all other sources of GAAP for nongovernmental entities were superseded by the issuance of ASC. ASC did not change GAAP, but rather combined the sources of GAAP and the framework for selecting among those sources into a single source. Accordingly, the adoption of ASC had no impact on the financial results of the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which now resided with ASC 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” ASC 105 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 105 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
34
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” which now resides with ASC 810, “Consolidation.” ASC 810 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in ASC 860, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provided timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 810 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 140/166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets,” an amendment of FAS 140, which now resides with ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” ASC 860 is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance , and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 860 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS 165, “Subsequent Events,” which now resides with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events.” This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). ASC 855 requires and entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
Long-lived Assets-Technology
The Company’s technology is recorded at its cost. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company did not have any long-lived assets. The above accounting policies will be adopted upon the Company maintains any long-lived assets.
Concentration of Risk
Cash – The Company at times may maintain a cash balance in excess of insured limits. At June 30, 2010, the Company has no cash in excess of insured limits.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.
Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are:
Estimated Useful Lives
Office Equipment
5-10 years
Copies
5-7 years
Vehicles
5-10 years
For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system. For audit purposes, depreciation is computed under the straight-line method.
The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operation to date. The Company currently does not have any property and equipment. The above accounting policies will be adopted upon the Company maintains property and equipment.
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company had no revenues, incurred a net loss of $2,055 for the period June 11, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2010. They had a working capital balance of $3,945 at June 30, 2010.
35
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
The Company intends to find a potential merger candidate and complete a merger. .
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE C – INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method; under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Deferred taxes will be provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Due to the inherent uncertainty in forecasts and future events and operating results, the Company has provided for a valuation allowance in an amount equal to gross deferred tax assets resulting in no net deferred tax assets or liabilities for the periods audited.
NOTE D – COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized by its Memorandum and Articles (equivalent to Article of Incorporation and Bylaws) to issue up to 1,000,000,000 Common Stock. It is also authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which can, by the action of its Board of Directors, issue these shares with different series and characteristics. None of the Preferred Shares have been issued as of June 30, 2010.
On June 11, 2010, the Company sold 400,000 shares of its no par value common stock at $0.015 per share to Millennium Group, Inc for consideration of $6,000 in cash. Proceeds from the issuances of common stock were mainly applied to professional fees for the incorporation of the Company with any excess balance held by the Company’s attorney’s trust account. The price of the common stock issued to them was arbitrarily determined and bore no relationship to any objective criterion of value. At the time of issuance, the Company was recently formed or in the process of being formed and possessed no material assets.
NOTE E – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company’s sole director and president, Jeremy Mork, is the brother of the owner of Millennium Group, Inc. which is the major shareholder of the Company.
NOTE F – WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock of the Company.
NOTE G – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has reviewed material subsequent events in accordance with FASB ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”. No additional disclosures required.

File No. 000-54099
Dear Mr. Mancuso:
We hereby file amendment number 5 and respond as follows to your comment letter by copying your comments, followed by a response in italics:
Form 10-12G
Risks Related to Doing Business in China . . , page 12
1.
Please expand your response to prior comment 1 that "management reviewed the Enterprise Income Tax Law" to tell us about your management's expertise regarding matters of China's tax law and how management's review ensured that you have a reasonable basis for your conclusion that there is no need to disclose a material risk that individual investors would be required to pay taxes to government entities in China if you were to determine to be a resident enterprise in China.
Management does not have significant expertise regarding China's tax law. Management consulted with a large Chinese law firm, Global Management does not have significant expertise regarding China's tax law. Management consulted with PRC law firms including Global Law and was advised that individual investors buying or selling shares of the Company would not be required to make filings or pay taxes to government entities in China even if the Company was determined to be a resident enterprise in China. Management was advised that the trigger for having to file and pay taxes in China is unrelated to whether the Company is deemed to be a resident enterprise in China and is related to whether the individual is resident in China and thus already a PRC taxpayer. For further comfort, management was referred to the many PRC companies already listed in the US for more than a decade including PRC state owned enterprises, for which no foreigners have been made to file or pay tax in the PRC. Management was further advised that the only potentiality regarding investor related taxes in the PRC regards dividends, but that if the Company were deemed to be a resident enterprise and it sought to pay dividends, the Company itself would be required to withhold and pay to the PRC government taxes on the dividend, and that the individual would not face any requirement to file or pay taxes to China. Thus in any scenario the investor faces no requirements or obligations to make PRC tax filings or payments, unless they were already subject to PRC tax reporting and payment by some other reason. Such would relate to the individual’s personal tax situation, not an investment into our shares, thus is outside the scope of our disclosure.

Please revise the second paragraph to clarify Millennium Group's involvement with the companies it assists, beyond merely providing consulting or advisory services as your current disclosure suggests. For example, we note Millennium Group's ownership interest in the transaction mentioned in prior comment 2.
