AMBER GROUP, INC
5,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Initial Public Offering
This is the initial offering of common stock of Amber Group, Inc. We are
offering for sale a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price
of $0.02 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us
for the offering to proceed, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of
any of the offered shares. The offering is being conducted on a
self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means our President, Vadims Furss,
will attempt to sell the shares. He will receive no commission or other
remuneration for any shares he may sell.
Amber Group, Inc. is a development stage company and currently has limited
operations. Any investment in the shares offered herein involves a high degree
of risk. You should only purchase shares if you can afford a loss of your entire
investment. Our independent registered public accountant has issued an audit
opinion for Amber Group, Inc. which includes a statement expressing substantial
doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
There has been no market for our securities and a public market may never
develop, or, if any market does develop, it may not be sustained. Our common
stock is not traded on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the
effective date of this registration statement, we hope to have a market maker
file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA")
for our common stock to be eligible for trading on the OTCBB. We do not yet have
a market maker who has agreed to file such application. There can be no
assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on a stock exchange or a
quotation service or that any market for our stock will develop.
Amber Group Inc. is not a blank check company. Amber Group Inc. and its
affiliates and promoters have no plans or intentions to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or person or, once it is a reporting
company, to be used as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting
company.

STARTUPS ACT OF 2012 (THE "JOBS ACT") AND THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND, AS
SUCH, MAY ELECT TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN REDUCED PUBLIC COMPANY REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS.
We are considered a "shell company" under applicable securities rules and
subject to additional regulatory requirements as a result, including the
inability of our shareholders to sell our shares in reliance on Rule 144
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as well as our inability to
register our securities on Form S-8 (an abbreviated registration process).
Accordingly, investors should consider our shares to be significantly risky and
illiquid investments.
THE PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES OFFERED THROUGH THIS PROSPECTUS INVOLVES A HIGH
DEGREE OF RISK. THEREFORE, BEFORE INVESTING, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THIS
PROSPECTUS AND, PARTICULARLY THE RISK FACTORS, BEGINNING ON PG. 6.

events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expects,"

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY
We were incorporated in Nevada on July 10, 2014. We are a development stage
company. Amber Group Inc. is a marketplace of tours for travellers by local

Our principal executive offices are located at 2360 Corporate Circle - Suite 400
Henderson, NV 89074. Our phone number is 702-430-6931. We intend to conduct
business operation from outside USA.
From inception until the date of this filing, we have had very limited operating
activities. Our financial statements from inception (July 10, 2014) through
September 30, 2014 reports no revenues and a net loss of $4,325. Our independent
registered public accounting firm has issued an audit opinion for Amber Group,
Inc. which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability
to continue as a going concern.
To date, we incorporated the company, prepared a business plan and executed
agreement with Strendzers for marketing purposes and executed contract with tour
guide. We have registered domain www.Amber-touristguides.com and started to work

Google+. Our sole director Vadims Furss will be in charge of implementing our

guarantee that we are able to raise funds from this offering.
Our president Mr. Furss intends to offer shares of the company's common stock to
his friends, family members and business associates in Europe. Mr.Furss will
not offer shares of the company's common stock in USA. As of the date of this
prospectus, there is no public trading market for our common stock and no
assurance that a trading market for our securities will ever develop.
IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year,
we qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act. For as
long as a company is deemed to be an emerging growth company, it may take
3
advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that
are generally unavailable to other public companies. These provisions include:
* a requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements
and only two years of related Management's Discussion and Analysis
included in an initial public offering registration statement;
* an exemption to provide less than five years of selected financial
data in an initial public offering registration statement;
* an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the
assessment of the emerging growth company's internal controls over
financial reporting;
* an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting
standards until they would apply to private companies;
* an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit
firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which the
auditor would be required to provide additional information about the
audit and the financial statements of the issuer; and
* reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company's executive
compensation arrangements.
An emerging growth company is also exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley
which requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report,
attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal
control structure and procedures for financial reporting. Similarly, as a
Smaller Reporting Company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and our independent registered public accounting firm will
not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting until such time as we cease being a Smaller Reporting
Company.
As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 14A (a) and (b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of
executive compensation and golden parachutes.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take
advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of
the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In
other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain
accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private
companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended
transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to
those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of:
* the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this
offering;
* the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1 billion
or more;
* the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period,
issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or
* as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our
common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the
end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and is
speculative in nature. In addition to the other information regarding the
Company contained in this Prospectus, you should consider many important factors
in determining whether to purchase shares of common stock offered pursuant to
this prospectus. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the
other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. The
list of Risk Factors below does not purport to be all-inclusive, there may be
additional risks associated with our Company, our business, and our industry
which are not forseen and thus are not included below. If any of the following
risks occur, or other risks occur that are not foreseen, our business, operating
results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of
our common stock, when and if we are ever able to trade our common stock, could
decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
RISKS ASSOCIATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE ARE SOLELY DEPENDENT UPON THE FUNDS TO BE RAISED IN THIS OFFERING TO START
OUR BUSINESS. IF WE DON'T RAISE THESE PROCEEDS WE WILL NOT ACHIEVE REVENUES AND
PROFITABLE OPERATIONS AND OUR BUSINESS WILL LIKELY FAIL.
Our current operating funds are less than we require to complete our intended
operations plan. As of september 30, 2014, we had cash in the amount of $0 and
liabilities of $325. As of this date, we have had limited operations and no
income. we require the proceeds from this offering may to achieve sufficient
revenue and profitable operations. there is no assurance that we will be
successful in raising the funds from this offering. If we are not successful in
raising the said funds our business may fail.
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINLY AS TO WHETHER WE WILL CONTINUE AS A GOING
CONCERN. IF WE DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT.
We have incurred losses since our inception resulting in an accumulated deficit
of ($4,325) at September 30, 2014. Further losses are anticipated in the
development of our business. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. In fact, our auditors have issued a
going concern opinion in connection with their audit of our financial statements
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014. This means that our auditors
believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business
for the next twelve months.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to
generate profitable operations in the future and to obtain the necessary
financing to expand our business operations, market our current product and
develop new products.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods
because we will be incurring expenses and generating minimal revenues. We cannot
guarantee that we will be successful in generating substantial revenues in the
future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND HAVE COMMENCED LIMITED OPERATIONS IN OUR
BUSINESS. WE EXPECT TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
From inception on June 10, 2014 till now we incorporated the company, prepared a
business plan and executed an agreement with Strendzers.
We have commenced limited business operations. Accordingly, we have no way to
evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. Potential
investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new
companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of
success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties,
complications and delays encountered in connection with the operations that we
plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to,
unanticipated problems relating to the ability to generate sufficient cash flow
to operate our business, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed
current estimates. Prior to having our travel products, we anticipate that we
will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We
6
expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize
that if the effectiveness of our business plan is not forthcoming, we will not
be able to continue business operations. There is no history upon which to base
any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is
doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable
operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will
most likely fail.
OUR PRESIDENT MR. FURSS HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN THE ONLINE TRAVEL INDUSTRY,
Mr.Furss has no experience in the online travel industry, including the
technical expertise necessary to design and operate our planned web platform.
Mr. Furss lacks this experience or expertise will pose risks to our company and
its investors.
WE MAY FACE DAMAGE TO OUR REPUTATION IF OUR FUTURE CLIENTS ARE NOT SATISFIED
WITH USE OF LOCAL TOUR GUIDES.
Our future web site will be market place for connection customers and local
guides. Although our local guides will be independent contractors we may face
damage to our professional reputation if our future clients are not satisfied
with local guides services.
As an Internet based company, we will depend to a large extent on referrals and
new engagements from our former customers as we will attempt to establish a
reputation for professional service company and integrity to attract customers.
If we are unable to obtain engagements, investors are likely to lose their
entire investment.
We have not customers and have had limited operations to date.
OUR OPERATIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. THE U.S.
STOCKHOLDERS WOULD FACE DIFFICULTY IN:
* effecting service of process within the United States on our officers;
* enforcing judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil
liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the
officers;
* enforcing judgments of U.S. courts based on civil liability provisions
of the U.S. federal securities laws in foreign courts against our
officers; and
* bringing an original action in foreign courts to enforce liabilities
BECAUSE WE ARE CURRENTLY CONSIDERED A "SHELL COMPANY" WITHIN THE MEANING OR RULE
12B-2 PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, THE ABILITY OF HOLDERS OF
OUR COMMON STOCK TO SELL THEIR SHARES MAY BE LIMITED BY APPLICABLE REGULATIONS.
We are, currently, considered a "shell company" within the meaning of Rule
12b-2 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 405 pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, in that we currently have nominal operations and
nominal assets other than cash. Accordingly, the ability of holders of our
common stock to sell their shares may be limited by applicable regulations.
As a result of our classification as a "shell company", our investors are not
allowed to rely on the "safe harbor" provisions of Rule 144 promulgated pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933 so as not to be considered underwriters in
connection with the sale of our securities until one year from the date that we
cease to be a "shell company." Additionally, as a result of our classification
as a shell company:
* Investors should consider shares of our common stock to be
significantly risky and illiquid investments
* We may not register our securities on Form S-8 (an abbreviated form of
registration statement)
* Our ability to attract additional funding to sustain our operations
may be limited significantly
We can provide no assurance or guarantee that we will cease to be a "shell
company" and, accordingly, we can provide no assurance or guarantee that there
will be a liquid market for our shares. Accordingly, investors may not be able
to sell our shares and lose their investments in the Company
7
THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE REVENUES
We expect to earn revenues solely in our chosen business area. In the opinion of
Mr. Furss, we reasonably believe that we will begin to generate revenues within
approximately twelve months. However, failure to generate sufficient and
consistent revenues to fully execute and adequately maintain our business plan
may result in failure of our business and the loss of your investment.
OUR REVENUE WILL BE DERIVED FROM THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY, AND A PROLONGED
SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN TRAVEL VOLUME COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US.
Our revenue will increase and decrease with the level of travel activity and is
therefore highly subject to declines in or disruptions to travel due to factors
entirely outside of our control. Such factors include: global security issues,
political instability, acts or threats of terrorism, hostilities or war, and
other political issues that could adversely affect travel volume in our key
markets;
* Epidemics or pandemics;
* Natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes;
* General economic conditions, particularly to the extent that adverse
conditions may cause a decline in travel volume;
* Increases in fuel prices;
For the reasons indicated above, prolonged substantial decreases in travel
volumes could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity and capital resources.
BECAUSE OUR WEB SITE PLATFORM WILL BE NOT PATENT PROTECTED, A COMPETITOR COULD
COPY OUR TECHNOLOGY, WHICH COULD CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our potential competitive advantage will be our web site platform, which allows
personal guides to be connected with customers around the world. Due to the
costs involved and the potential inability to qualify, we will not apply for
patent protection of our platform. Accordingly, our business is subject to the
risk that competitors could either copy or reverse engineer our technology and
release a competing product with similar features. If this occurs, our ability
to sell our services could be jeopardized, which could cause our business to
fail.
THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS RELATING
TO COMPETITION THAT MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PERFORMANCE.
We will operate in highly competitive industries. If we cannot compete
effectively against our competitors, we may lose business, which may adversely
affect our financial performance. Our continued success depends, in large part,
upon our ability to compete effectively in industries that contain numerous
competitors, some of which may have significantly greater financial, marketing,
personnel and other resources than we have.
Factors affecting the competitive success of online travel agencies include
price, the availability of travel inventory, brand recognition, ease of use, the
fees charged to travelers, accessibility, customer service and reliability. A
number of our competitors will have greater financial resources or flexibility
to finance branding efforts. We will compete with traditional travel agencies,
other online travel agencies and supplier websites and other online and offline
travel planning service providers.
We potentially face competition from a number of large Internet companies and
services that have expertise in developing online commerce and in facilitating
Internet traffic, including Google, AOL and Yahoo!, the latter two of which
partner with Travelocity to offer travel products and services directly to
consumers.
8
In addition, the introduction of new technologies and the expansion of existing
technologies may increase competitive pressures. Increased competition may
result in reduced operating margins. We cannot assure that we will be able to
compete successfully against current and future competitors. Competitive
pressures faced by us could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL COMPANY AND HAVE LIMITED CAPITAL, OUR MARKETING CAMPAIGN
MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO ATTRACT SUFFICIENT CLIENTS TO OPERATE PROFITABLY. IF WE DO
NOT MAKE A PROFIT, WE WILL SUSPEND OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
Due to the fact we are small company and have limited capital, we must limit our
marketing activities and may not be able to make our product known to potential
customers. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be
able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate
profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
WE WILL DEPEND ON OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS, WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL
RISKS GENERALLY NOT ENCOUNTERED WHEN DOING BUSINESS SOLELY IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE HAVE HAD LIMITED OPERATIONS TO DATE.
Our future international operations will involve risks that may not exist when
doing business in the United States. In order to achieve widespread acceptance
in each country we will enter, we believe that we must tailor our services to
the unique customs and cultures of that country. Learning the customs and
cultures of various countries, particularly with respect to travel patterns and
practices, is a difficult task and our failure to do so could slow our growth in
those countries. We have had limited operations to date.
In addition, the risks involved in non-U.S. operations, or in having operations
in multiple countries generally, that could result in losses include:
* Delays in the development of the Internet as a broadcast, advertising
and commerce medium in overseas markets;
* Difficulties in managing operations due to distance, time zones,
language and cultural differences, including issues associated with
establishing management systems infrastructures in various countries;
* Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
* Exposure to local economic conditions, security issues, epidemics or
natural disasters;
* Currency exchange restrictions.
BECAUSE OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE
OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS,
CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Vadims Furss, our President, currently devotes approximately twenty hours per
week providing management services to us. Mr. Furss the remainder of his
business time commits to researching other business opportunities unrelated to
our business. At the present, Mr. Furss is not actively involved in any other
business than the business of our registrant. Once we expand operations, and are
able to attract more merchants and customers, Vadims Furss agreed to commit more
time as required. Because Vadims Furss will only be devoting limited time to our
operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are
convenient to him. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or
suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a cessation of
operations.
INVESTORS CANNOT WITHDRAW FUNDS ONCE THEIR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS ARE ACCCEPTED
BY THE COMPANY. THEREFORE, BECAUSE THE INVESTMENT IS IRREVOCABLE, INVESTORS MUST
BE PREPARED THAT THEY MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IF THE BUSINESS FAILS.
Investors do not have the right to withdraw invested funds once the subscription
agreement is accepted by the Company. Subscription payments will be paid to
Amber Group, Inc. and held in our corporate bank account. Once the Company
reviews the Subscription Agreements, and determines that they are in good order,
and the Company accepts the subscription, investors will not have the right of
9
return of such funds, the investment will become irrevocable. Therefore, if the
business of the Company fails, the investor must be prepared to lose their
entire investment in the Company.
BECAUSE MR.FURSS HAS LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN MANAGEMENT, OUR BUSINESS HAS A HIGHER
RISK OF FAILURE.
Vadims Furss, our sole employee, management experience is limited to his
involvement with the Company. Consequently, his decisions and choices may affect
our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success as a result.
IF VADIMS FURSS, OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, SHOULD RESIGN OR DIE, THAT COULD
RESULT IN OUR OPERATIONS BEING SUSPENDED. IF THAT SHOULD OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS
COULD FAIL, AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
We are extremely depend on the services of our sole officer and director, Vadims
Furss, for the future success of the business. The loss of the services of Mr.
Furss could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. Mr. Furss is our sole officer and director, and if he
should die there will be no one to appoint a new officer and in that event we
will have no alternative but to cease operations.
SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US.
Our businesses will experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends
for the products and services we offer. These trends cause our revenue to be
generally highest in the second and third calendar quarters of the year as
travelers plan and purchase their spring and summer travel, and then flatten in
the fourth and first calendar quarters of the year. Our inability to finance our
funding needs during a seasonal slowdown or at other times could have a material
adverse effect on us.
OUR BUSINESS AND GROWTH WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND AND RETAIN HIGHLY
SKILLED PERSONNEL.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract, train, motivate and retain
highly skilled local guides. We may be unable to retain our skilled guides or
attract, assimilate and retain other highly skilled guides in the future. We
expect difficulty in finding and retaining highly skilled local guides with
appropriate qualifications. If we are unable to find and retain skilled
personnel, our growth may be restricted, which could adversely affect our future
success and financial condition.
BECAUSE WE ARE HOLDING THE PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING IN A CORPORATE BANK
ACCOUNT, IF WE FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION OR ARE FORCED INTO BANKRUPTCY, OR
A CREDITOR OBTAINS A JUDGMENT AGAINST US AND ATTACHES THE SUBSCRIPTION, YOU WILL
LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT.
Your funds will not be placed in an escrow or trust account, but in a corporate
bank account. Accordingly, if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition
for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will
become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the
bankruptcy laws. If a creditor sues us and obtains a judgment against us, the
creditor could garnish the bank account and take possession of the
subscriptions. As such, it is possible that a creditor could attach your
subscription. If that happens, you will lose your investment and your funds will
be used to pay creditors.
WE MAY IN THE FUTURE ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, WHICH WILL DILUTE
SHARE VALUE OF INVESTORS IN THE OFFERING.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 4,000,000 shares are issued
and outstanding. We must raise additional capital in order for our business plan
to succeed. Our most likely source of additional capital will be through the
sale of additional shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock
may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by
our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the
10
future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services
or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the
value of the shares held by investors in the offering, and might have an adverse
effect on any trading market for our common stock.
WE ARE AN "EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY" AND WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF THE REDUCED
DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES WILL MAKE OUR
COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take
advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are
applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being
required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation
and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less
attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our
common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading
market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Under the JOBS Act, "emerging growth companies" can delay adopting new or
revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private
companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves to this exemption
from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to
the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are
not "emerging growth companies."
We will lose our emerging growth company status on the earliest occurrence of
any of the following events:
* the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this
offering;
* the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1 billion
or more;
* the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period,
issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or
* as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our
common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the
end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.
CONSUMERS MAY NOT ACCEPT OUR WEBSITE AS A VALUABLE COMMERCIAL TOOL WHICH WOULD
HARM OUR BUSINESS.
For us to achieve significant growth, local guides, consumers and advertisers
must accept our website as a valuable commercial tool (As of December 31, 2014,
we have testing version of our web site. We do not have a fully developed
website yet). Consumers who have historically purchased products using
traditional commercial channels, such as local agents and calling agents
directly must instead purchase these products through our website. Local guides
will need to view our websites as an efficient and profitable channel of
distribution for their travel products. Advertisers will need to view our
website as effective ways to reach their potential customers.
In order to achieve the acceptance of consumers, local guides and advertisers
contemplated by our business plan, we will need to make substantial investments
in our technology and brand. We cannot at this time determine how much of an
investment it will take nor, be assured that we will be able to secure the funds
required. We do not have specific plans or budget at this time. Our failure to
make progress in these areas may harm our business.
SECURITY BREACHES IN OUR FUTURE WEBSITE SYSTEMS COULD DAMAGE ITS REPUTATION AND
CAUSE IT TO LOSE CUSTOMERS.
The security of customers' confidential transaction data could be jeopardized by
accidental or intentional acts of Internet users, current and former employees
or others, or by computer viruses. Our future website could lose customers and
11
be liable for damages caused by these security breaches. Security breaches
experienced by other electronic commerce companies could reduce consumers'
confidence in our future web site. Although will use encryption and
authentication technology, these measures can be circumvented. The costs
required to continually upgrade security measures could be prohibitively
expensive and could result in delays or interruption of service.
AS A SECTION 15(D) FILER, WE WILL NOT BE A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY.
We will not be subject to the proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act,
the prohibition of short-swing profits under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and
the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Sections 13(d) and (g) of the
Exchange Act. If we have less than 300 shareholders following the fiscal year in
which our registration statement becomes effective, our periodic reporting
obligations under Section 13(a) will be automatically suspended under Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING
THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK."
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and rules of the
Commission. The term "penny stock" generally refers to a security issued by a
very small company that trades at less than $5 per share.
The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales
practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities
to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally,
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 jointly
with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For
transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker dealer must make certain
mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or
purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be
received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver
certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock
rules may make it difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at
all.
MARKET FOR PENNY STOCK HAS SUFFERED IN RECENT YEARS FROM PATTERNS OF FRAUD AND
ABUSE
According to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered
in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
* Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers
that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
* Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and
sales and false and misleading press releases;
* Boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and
unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
* Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling
broker-dealers; and,
* The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and
broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level,
along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with
consequential investor losses.
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the
penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the
behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market,
management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of
our share price.
12
OUR PRESIDENT, MR.FURSS DOES NOT HAVE ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE CONDUCTING A
BEST-EFFORTS OFFERING, AND OUR BEST EFFORTS OFFERING DOES NOT REQUIRE A MINIMUM
AMOUNT TO BE RAISED. AS A RESULT OF THIS WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE ENOUGH
FUNDS TO COMMENCE AND SUSTAIN OUR BUSINESS AND INVESTORS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE
INVESTMENT.
Mr.Furss does not have any experience conducting a best-efforts offering.
Consequently, we may not be able to raise any funds successfully. Also, the best
efforts offering does not require a minimum amount to be raised. If we are not
able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations as
planned, and our business will suffer and your investment may be materially
adversely affected. Our inability to successfully conduct a best-efforts
offering could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
WE PLAN TO SELL SHARES IN THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE
TO SELL ANY SHARES.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the
services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares
through our President, who will receive no commissions. He will offer the shares
to friends, family members, and business associates; however, there is no
guarantee that he will be able to sell any of shares. Unless he is successful in
selling all of the shares and we receive the proceeds from this offering, we may
have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan.
DISADVANTAGES TO PURCHASERS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF UNDERWRITER PARTICIPATION
No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this prospectus or
performed any review or independent due diligence of the contents of this
prospectus. No underwriter had been involved in activities such as investigating
the Company, verifying the accuracy of the disclosure and assisting the Company
in setting the offering price.
DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY
SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
We are not registered on any market or public stock exchange. There is presently
no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being
offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately
following the completion of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on
the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"). The OTCBB is a regulated
quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume
information in over-the-counter securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing
service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing
requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must
remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority.
If we are not able to pay the expenses associated with our reporting obligations
we will not be able to apply for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB").
Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer
does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB
that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30
day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time.
We cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our
stock listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been
no discussions or understandings between Amber Group, Inc. and anyone acting on
our behalf, with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading
market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock,
it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering.
In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from
your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all.
In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading
market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be
difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an
inability to realize any value from your investment.
13
Factors such as announcements of new services by us or our competitors, and
quarter-to-quarter variations in our results of operations, as well as market
conditions in our sector may have a significant impact on the market price of
our shares. Further, the stock market has experienced extreme volatility that
has particularly affected the market prices of the stock of many companies and
such volatility may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance of those companies.
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE.
WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT
FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
Mr. Furss has agreed to loan funds to the company to cover future SEC reporting
and compliance costs. After the effective date of this prospectus, we will be
required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, and/or other information
with the SEC.
We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the close of the
offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTCBB. To be eligible for
quotation, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. In order
for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost
of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available
cash resources. The costs associated with being a publicly traded company in the
next 12 month will be approximately $10,000. If we are unable to generate
sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to
resell any shares you may purchase, if at all. Also, if we are not able to pay
the expenses associated with our reporting obligations we will not be able to
apply for quotation on the OTCBB.
OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS NO EXPERIENCE MANAGING A PUBLIC COMPANY WHICH
IS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
We have never operated as a public company. Vadims Furss, our sole officer and
director has no experience managing a public company, which is required to
establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control
over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to operate
successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan
to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required for
a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public
company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to
operate as a public company could be the basis of losing your entire investment
in us.
OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY NOT BE COMPARABLE TO THOSE OF COMPANIES THAT COMPLY
WITH NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.
We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition
period that Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides an emerging growth company, as
provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or
revised accounting standards. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be
comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting
standards. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less
attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our
common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading
market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
OUR STATUS AS AN "EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY" UNDER THE JOBS ACT OF 2012 MAY MAKE
IT MORE DIFFICULT TO RAISE CAPITAL WHEN WE NEED TO DO IT.
Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as
an "emerging growth company" and because we will have an extended transition
period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may
be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise
additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare
our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our
14
financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry.
If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our
financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected.
WE WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY
ACT FOR AS LONG AS WE REMAIN AN "EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY."
We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement
Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not required
to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over
financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be
required to comply with certain of these rules, which will require management to
certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and
provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting. Though we will be required to disclose changes made in
our internal control procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to
make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our
first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no
longer an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act.
Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally
attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be
filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an "emerging growth company."
At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a
report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which
our controls are documented, designed or operating. We will be exempt from the
auditor attestation requirement concerning management's report on the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for so long as we
remain a smaller reporting company.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of
shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The offering price per
share is $0.02. The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the
sale 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% respectively, of the securities offered for sale by
the Company. There is no assurance that we will raise the full $100,000 as
anticipated.
(25% of (50% of (75% of (100% of
offering) offering) offering) offering)
--------- --------- --------- ---------
Gross proceeds $ 25,000 $ 50,000 $ 75,000 $100,000

Net proceeds $ 15,500 $ 40,500 $ 65,500 $ 90,500
In order of priority, the net proceeds of the offering will be used as follows:

-------- -------- -------- --------
Office rent $ 5,000 $ 9,800 $ 9,800 $ 9,800

TOTAL $15,500 $40,500 $65,500 $90,500
15
The above figures represent only estimated costs. Mr. Furss has agreed to loan
us funds to implement our business plan and maintain our reporting status and
quotation on the OTCBB until we raise funds from this offering. Mr. Furss will
not be repaid from the proceeds of this offering. There is no due date for the
repayment of the funds advanced by Mr. Furss and the loan being intend at 0% per
annum. Mr. Furss will be repaid from revenues of operations if and when we
generate revenues to pay the obligation.
Total offering expenses are $9,500. This amount consists of $3,500 for legal
fees; $86.36 for printing costs; $1,300 for accounting fees and expenses; $3,000
for auditor fees and expenses; $1,600 for transfer agent fees; and $13.64 for
the registration filing fee.
"General and Administrative Costs" noted above include costs related to
accounting, audit, legal and transfer agent costs that we incur in filing
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as general working
capital, which are estimated to be approximately $10,000 per year. If we are
only able to complete 25% of the offering, we will have to rely upon loans from
our president to cover approximately $3,500 of our general and administrative
expenses.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. The
price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or
other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining
the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into
consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to
implement our business plan. Accordingly, the offering price should not be
considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
DILUTION
The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.02 per share. This price is
significantly higher than the price paid by the Company's sole director and
officer for common equity on September 29, 2014. Vadims Furss has paid $.001 per
share for the 4,000,000 shares of common stock he purchased from the Company.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net
tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net
tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total
liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a
result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being
offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of
the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The
following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with
the investment of our existing stockholders.
Assuming completion of the offering, there will be up to 9,000,000 common shares
outstanding. The following table illustrates the per common share dilution that
may be experienced by investors at various funding levels. This table is based
on 4,000,000 common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and total
stockholder's equity of $(325) utilizing audited September 30, 2014 financial
statements.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have 4,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date
of this prospectus. The Company is registering an additional of 5,000,000 shares
of its common stock for sale at the price of $0.02 per share. There is no
arrangement to address the possible effect of the offering on the price of the
stock.
In connection with the Company's selling efforts in the offering, Vadims Furss
will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act,
but rather will rely upon the "safe harbor" provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1,
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the
broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons
associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer's
securities. Mr. Furss is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that
term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. Mr. Furss will not be
compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment
of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on
transactions in our securities. Mr. Furss is not, nor has he been within the
past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and he is not, nor has he been within the
past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the
offering, Mr. Furss will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for
the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in
securities. Mr. Furss will not participate in selling an offering of securities
for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange
Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
The Company will receive all proceeds from the sale of the 5,000,000 shares
being offered. The price per share is fixed at $0.02 for the duration of this
offering. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange or quoted
over-the-counter, we intend to seek to have our shares of common stock quoted on
the OTCBB. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an
application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There
can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary
documents with FINRA, nor can there be any assurance that such an application
for quotation will be approved. However, sales by the Company must be made at
the fixed price of $0.02 until a market develops for the stock.
The Company's shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and
subject to the discretion of the Company. Further, the Company will not offer
its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they
may act as agents. The shares of common stock sold by the Company may be
occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this
prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.02 per share.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the
securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or
qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification
requirement is available and with which the Company has complied.
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to
applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard
to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration
Statement is effective.
The shares of common stock being offered by us have not been registered for sale
under the securities laws of any state as of the date of this prospectus.

of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting
restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is
limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have
200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
We were incorporated on June 10, 2014 and intend to offer local guided tours via
our web platform. Our future web site will connect travelers with freelance
guides to facilitate the creation and purchase of private tours around the
world. Customers will simply enter their destination, choose a tour with
favorite guide and in just a few clicks, customers can book tour directly with
the local guide. Before booking customers can check the guide's profile, see
their feedbacks and even message the guide to customize a tour, tailored to
customer needs. We intend to offer our guided tours in Europe and North America.

testing version of our website.
Whether customer is looking for a city tour, wine tasting experiences, walking
tours, bicycle tours or any other activity he/she wants to do together with a

ADVANTAGE OF LOCAL GUIDE.
When customer has very little time, a knowledgeable local guide can give
customized sightseeing according to the customer's wishes in a timely manner.
Good guides will know places to avoid, rush hours, shopping areas that offer
bargain prices, and direct you from areas under construction or closed roads.
Local guides are very helpful for customers visiting ports on a cruise.
Customers can hire a tour guide to get them away from the hordes of passengers
getting off ship and visit a quieter remote scene and enjoy a lunch at a local
eatery. Because the tour guide is aware of limited time, he/she can plan your
adventure and ensure return to the ship in time for boarding.
When the customer is visiting a dangerous or chaotic location or the destination
is in an area that has a reputation of political upheaval, a tour guide can help
keep the customer safe.
20
Unless customer is an expert, hiring a professional tour guide for extreme
sports such as safaris, mountain climbing, scuba diving, deep sea fishing,
white-water rafting; safety precaution should be a priority and it's best if
customer will hire an experienced guide. On hikes or a nature trip, an
experienced nature guide can provide information about the type animals that the
customer may encounter, direct attention to different types of plants and
explain the benefits to nature. A tour guide who speaks the local language can
be an invaluable resource; both the customer and the native will be at ease with
communication.
OUR WEB SITE

MARKET OVERVIEW
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council
(WTTC),(http://www.wttc.org/research/economic-impact-research/): Long term
growth forecasts of 4.2% per annum growth over the ten years to 2023. Travel &
Tourism will continue to grow, outpace growth of the wider economy and remain a
leading generator of jobs.
COMPETITION
The market for online tourism is highly competitive. Numerous online tourism
sites will compete with us. Our competitors are substantially larger and more
experienced than us and have longer operating histories, and have materially
greater financial and other resources than us.
The competition in the online we will face comes from online web sites:
www.responsibletravel.com, www.toursbylocals.com, tourguides.viator.com.
MARKETING
We plan to focus on direct sales online as we get started. Once we build a
reputation and customer base, it will be easier to attract customers. We plan to
market our products mainly at North America and Europe market.
Online provides a better chance of referrals. Because we can serve just about
anyone, anywhere, there's a good chance that our clients will refer us. For
instance, a client may have a friend or relative in another state. The online
format allows such a referral to quickly become a client.
FACEBOOK
Facebook is being used as one of the most effective marketing tools. We will be
able to use it as a platform to advertise to our clients on important updates
such as; schedule changes, events, workshops, yoga retreats, special discounts
and their personal lives.
21
WRITING
Writing for industry recognized online publications would be one of the greatest
tools for expanding our reach. That will put us in front of a new audience that
now knows who we are and what we do.
OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA
Linkedin, Twitter, Google +, Pintrest and the list goes on. Diversifying our
social media presence means expanding our client base.
EMPLOYEES; IDENTIFICATION OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES.
We have no employees other than our sole officer and director, Vadims Furss who
currently devotes approximately twenty hours per week to company matters
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
In the United States, we are subject to compliance with laws, governmental
regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar
constraints.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
OFFICES
Our business office is located at 2360 Corporate Circle -Suite 400 Henderson, NV
89074.Our Nevada address was provided to us by our resident agent as a part of
their incorporation services. Our telephone number is (702)-430-6931. Upon the
completion of our offering, and funding permitting, we intend to establish an
office elsewhere. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not sought or
selected a new office site. We intend to conduct business operation from outside
USA.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of
any pending or potential legal actions.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
We are a development stage corporation with limited operations and no revenues
from our business operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion.
This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can
continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months. We do not
anticipate that we will generate significant revenues until we have raised the
funds necessary to conduct a marketing program. There is no assurance we will
ever generate revenue even if we raised all necessary funds.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend
operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. If we raise
25% of money from this offering, we believe it will fund operations for
approximately three months, but with limited funds available to build and grow
our business. If we raise 100% of money from this offering, we believe the money
will last for one year and also provide funds for a growth strategy.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering.
We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to
expand operations but we cannot guarantee that once we expand operations we will
stay in business after doing so. If we are unable to successfully find customers
we may quickly use up the proceeds from this offering and will need to find
alternative sources. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to
raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
22
PLAN OF OPERATION
As of September 30, 2014, our cash balance was $0. We may not be able to raise
sufficient funds from this offering to sustain our operations. Vadims Furss, our
Chairman, President, and Secretary, has informally agreed to advance funds to
allow us to pay for offering costs, filing fees, and professional fees.
Mr.Furss, however, has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to
advance or loan funds to the company. We do not currently have any arrangements
for additional financing.
After the effectiveness of our registration statement by the SEC, we intend to
concentrate our efforts on raising capital. During this period, our operations
will be limited due to the limited amount of funds on hand. Our plan of
operations following the completion is as follows:
If we complete 25% of the offering described in this prospectus, we expect to
receive net proceeds of $15,500. Of this amount, we intend to allocate $5,000
towards the office rent, buy office equipment, Website developing and
maintenance $1,000 and Marketing and advertising expenses of 3,000. It will also
cover $6,500 of the estimated $10,000 in expenses that we will incur as a result
of our offering. We will rely upon the proceeds that we receive from the sale of
our services and loans from our president in order to cover the balance of
general and administrative expenses, as well as marketing and advertising costs.
If we are successful in completing 100% of offering described in this
prospectus, of which there is no assurance, we expect to receive net proceeds of
$90,500. Of this amount, we would allocate $9,600 towards the office rent, buy
office equipment.
We will allocate for website developing and maintenance $10,000. This will allow
us to hire a contractor to develop our website, constantly upgrade our website,
hire contractors for SEO (search engine optimizer) and keep our web site running
smooth.
We would also allocate $60,700 of the proceeds to marketing and advertising
costs. We will print advertising materials: brochures, flyers. We will place
advertisements for our product in appropriate tourist magazines and websites.
We anticipate that revenue from the sale of our services will be approximately
20% paid via our web site by customers to tour guide. Tour price will depend on
type and tour guide experience, but it can range from $20 to $100 per hour.
As well, we anticipate spending $10,000 on administrative costs such as
accounting and auditing fees, legal fees and fees payable in connection with
reporting obligations.
AGREEMENT WITH STRENDZERS
Strendzers will be the marketing service provider for the Company. The
agreement is valid for a period of 12 months (8th day October 2014 to 8th day
October 2015). The Company has an option to extend the terms for an additional
12 months on the same terms and condition. As full compensation for the promoter
performance under the agreement, the promoter will get 10% from the total prices
paid by customer via Company web site.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
23
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an
evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not
generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our
business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the
establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources
and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and
products.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable
terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to
continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in
additional dilution to existing shareholders.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FROM INCEPTION ON JUNE 10, 2014 TO DECEMBER 31, 2014
During this period we incorporated the company, prepared a business plan and
executed agreement with Strend1ers for marketing purposes. Also we executed
agreement with local guide. We have registered domain www.Amber-touristguides.
com and launched testing version of our website. We have created profile on
Facebook, Twitter, Google+.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $0cash and our liabilities were $325,
comprising $325 owed to Vadims Furss, our sole officer and director. The
available capital is not sufficient for the Company to remain operational.
Since inception, we have sold 4,000,000 shares of common stock in one offer and
sale, which was to our sole officer and director, at a price of $0.001 per
share, for aggregate proceeds of $4,000.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell all the shares required. If we
are successful, any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in the
Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. We will attempt to raise the
necessary funds to proceed with all phases of our plan of operation. The sources
of funding we may consider to fund this work include a public offering, a
private placement of our securities or loans from our director or others.
As of the date of this registration statement, the current funds available to
the Company should be sufficient to continue maintaining our reporting status
until we raise funds from this offering. In case raising funds will take longer
than planned, or our short term expenses exceed our expectations, the company's
sole officer and director, Vadims Furss, has indicated that he may be willing to
provide funds required to maintain the reporting status in the form of a
non-secured loan until minimum required proceeds are obtained by the Company.
However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing this
agreement. Management believes if the company cannot maintain its reporting
status with the SEC it will have to cease all efforts directed towards the
company. As such, your investment previously made may be lost in its entirety.
Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion, meaning that there is
substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve
months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are
anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and
implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is
investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our
strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us
to operate for at least one year and have the capital resources required to
cover the material costs with becoming a publicly reporting. The company
anticipates over the next 12 months the cost of being a reporting public company
will be approximately $10,000.
Management believes that the net proceeds, assuming a minimum of $25,000 is
raised (provided that we are not required to raise any minimum amount of funding
in the offering), will be sufficient to implement our initial plan of operations
in the 12 months period. However, after one year we may need to raise additional
financing.
24
We will be highly dependent upon the success of future private offerings of
equity or debt securities, as described herein. Therefore, the failure thereof
would result in the need to seek capital from other resources such as taking
loans, which would likely not even be possible for the Company. However, if such
financing were available, because we are a development stage company with no
operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with
high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time
these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt
financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via a private
placement of its equity or debt securities, or secure a loan, the Company would
be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all
of their investment.
We will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements
associated with being a publicly reporting company. The Company's management
will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is
compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time
required of management could limit the amount of time management has to
implement is business plan and impede the speed of its operations.

INDEPENDENCE OF DIRECTORS
We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and
do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are
required to do so.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees
or committees performing similar functions, nor does our Company have a written
nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Directors believe that
it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions
of such committees can be adequately performed by the sole director.
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for
shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The sole
director believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific
nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business
operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have
any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the sole
director and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating
such nominees. The sole director, will assess all candidates, whether submitted
by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or
appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our sole director may do so by
directing a written request addressed to our president and director, at the
address appearing on the first page of this prospectus.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct;
endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure
in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the Company;
and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and
regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business
conduct and ethics that governs the Company's employees, officers and Directors
as the Company is not required to do so.
In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company's sole director is responsible for
reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside
auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of
the Company's financial statements and other services provided by the Company's
independent public accountants. The sole director reviews the Company's internal
accounting controls, practices and policies.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of
shares of our common stock owned beneficially as of September 30, 2014 by: (i)
each person (including any group) known to us to own more than five percent (5%)
of any class of our voting securities, (ii) our director, and or (iii) our
officer. Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholder listed possesses sole
voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

(1) A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or
indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or
otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or
to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the
power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be
deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example,
persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In
addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person
has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option)
within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing
the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is
deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and
only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the
percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not
necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect
to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on September 30,
2014. As of September 30, 2014there were 4,000,000 shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding.

board, or if traded, that a public market will materialize.

for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of
each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a
penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these
penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny
stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Currently, we have one (1) holder of record of our common stock.
STOCK OPTION GRANTS
To date, we have not granted any stock options.
DIVIDENDS
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that
prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do
prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the
distribution of the dividend:
1. We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual
course of business, or;
2. Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities
plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of
shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving
the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends
in the foreseeable future.
MATERIAL CHANGES
None.
INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE
None.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify an officer, director, or former
officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law. We have been advised
that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act,
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by one of our director, officers, or
controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will,
unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is
against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be
governed by the court's decision.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Amber Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Amber Group, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2014 and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period then ended
and for the period from July 10, 2014 (inception) to September 30, 2014. 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 audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Amber Group, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2014 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the period then ended and for the period from July
10, 2014 (inception), to September 30, 2014 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #2 to the financial
statements, the company has had significant operating losses; a working capital
deficiency and its need for new capital raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these
matters is also described in Note #2. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $325 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICERS
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity from liability to a
company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically
unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation. Our
articles of incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding
director immunity from liability. Excepted from this immunity are:
1. a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders
in connection with a matter in which the director has a material
conflict of interest;
2. a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause
to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause
to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
3. a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
profit; and
4. willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the
fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may
modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our
directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to
indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such person unless:
1. such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;
2. the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;
3. such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion,
pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or; 4. such
indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
II-1
Our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or
is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive
officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following
request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in
connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the
company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of
the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time
such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person
acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the company.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
(ss.230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating
to an offering, other than registration statements relying on
Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date
it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made
in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under
the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
II-3
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors,
officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Amendment No.1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed October 20, 2014
File No. 333-199478
Dear: Barbara C. Jacobs
In response to your letter dated November 14, 2014 which included comments
regarding our registration statement, we have prepared the following responses:
GENERAL
COMMENT: 1
It appears from your current disclosure that you have not taken any concrete
steps to implement your business plan and have no revenues, no plans for raising
additional financing, limited operations, no products or services and no
dedicated full-time or part-time employees other than your sole officer and
director. We also note that your stock is likely to be penny stock. Therefore,
it appears that you may be a blank check company and should comply with Rule 419
of Regulation C under the Securities Act. Please revise the registration
statement to comply with Rule 419 or tell us why you believe that you are not a
blank check company. For guidance, see SEC Release No. 33-6932 and
Interpretation 616.02 of our Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations.
Response: In response to this comment we referred Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation
C, which defines a blank check company as a company that is "a development stage
company that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its
business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified
company or companies" and is issuing penny stock. While we are a development
stage company, the company is not a blank check company because:
- It has its own specific operational business plan,
- Its business plan has no indications to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other
entity;
- We have no plans or intentions to be acquired by an operating company
nor do we have plans to enter into a change of control or similar
transaction or to change our management;
- Our sole officer and director, has not been previously involved in the
management or ownership of a development stage company that has not
implemented fully its business plan, engaged in a change of control or
similar transaction, or has generated no or minimal revenues to date;
- The fact that the company is not a blank check company under Rule 419
has been disclosed prominently on the cover page of the prospectus.
We have taken following concrete steps to implement our business plan:
registered domain www.Amber-touristguides.com and launched testing version of
our website. We have created profile on Facebook, Twitter, Google +.
We have executed agreement with Strendzers for marketing purposes and have
executed contracts with local guides.
Also our director has agreed to lend us funds to pay for our reporting
obligations and for business expenses until we raise funds from this offering.
COMMENT: 2
You appear to be a shell company as that term is defined in Securities Act Rule
405 of Regulation C. In this regard, we note that you have had limited
operations to date and have no assets. If you conclude that you are a shell
company, please disclose that conclusion on your prospectus cover page and add a
risk factor that highlights the consequences of shell company status. Discuss
the prohibition on the use of Form S-8 by shell companies, enhanced reporting
requirements imposed on shell companies, the conditions that must be satisfied
before restricted and control securities may be resold in reliance on Rule 144
and the potential impact on your ability to attract additional capital.
Response: We have added following disclosure:
We are considered a "shell company" under applicable securities rules and
subject to additional regulatory requirements as a result, including the
inability of our shareholders to sell our shares in reliance on Rule 144
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as well as our inability to
register our securities on Form S-8 (an abbreviated registration process).
Accordingly, investors should consider our shares to be significantly risky and
illiquid investments.
Also we have added following risk factor:
Because we are currently considered a "shell company" within the meaning or Rule
12b-2 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the ability of holders of
our common stock to sell their shares may be limited by applicable regulations.
2
We are, currently, considered a "shell company" within the meaning of Rule 12b-2
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 405 pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, in that we currently have nominal operations and nominal
assets other than cash. Accordingly, the ability of holders of our common stock
to sell their shares may be limited by applicable regulations.
As a result of our classification as a "shell company", our investors are not
allowed to rely on the "safe harbor" provisions of Rule 144 promulgated pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933 so as not to be considered underwriters in
connection with the sale of our securities until one year from the date that we
cease to be a "shell company." Additionally, as a result of our classification
as a shell company:
Investors should consider shares of our common stock to be significantly risky
and illiquid investments
We may not register our securities on Form S-8 (an abbreviated form of
registration statement) Our ability to attract additional funding to sustain our
operations may be limited significantly We can provide no assurance or guarantee
that we will cease to be a "shell company" and, accordingly, we can provide no
assurance or guarantee that there will be a liquid market for our shares.
Accordingly, investors may not be able to sell our shares and lose their
investments in the Company.

ability to raise funds from this offering. There is no guarantee that we are
able to raise funds from this offering.
