Item 1. Business
General
We were formed as Pacific Mining, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on October 12, 2005. On November 28, 2006, we changed our name to Pacific Software, Inc. and were engaged in the business of developing and marketing a large file transfer software package named LargeFilesASAP. In December 2009, our management changed and the new management discontinued our business of developing and marketing LargeFilesASAP.
Our Business
In December 2009, we ceased operations and are now focusing our efforts on seeking a business opportunity. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of that target company into the Company. In certain instances, a target company may wish to become a subsidiary of the Company or may wish to contribute assets to the Company rather than merge. We have had discussions with a number of potential target companies in the past. Most recently, in August 2012, a letter of intent with an enterprise was entered into, and it expired in November 2012. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. The Company will provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.
The Company intends to seek, investigate, and if warranted, acquire an interest in a business opportunity. We are not restricting our search to any particular industry or geographical area. We may therefore engage in essentially any business in any industry. Our management has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and extremely risky and will be made by management in the exercise of its business judgment. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to our company and stockholders.
Because we have no specific business plan or expertise, our activities are subject to several significant risks. In particular, any business acquisition or participation we pursue will likely be based on the decision of management without the consent, vote, or approval of our stockholders.
Sources of Opportunities
We anticipate that business opportunities may arise from various sources, including officers and directors, professional advisers, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals.
We will seek potential business opportunities from all known sources, but will rely principally on the personal contacts of our officers and directors as well as indirect associations between them and other business and professional people. Although we do not anticipate engaging professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations, we may retain such firms if management deems it in our best interests. In some instances, we may publish notices or advertisements seeking a potential business opportunity in financial or trade publications.
Criteria
We will not restrict our search to any particular business, industry or geographical location. We may acquire a business opportunity in any stage of development. This includes opportunities involving start up or new companies. In seeking a business venture, management will base their decisions on the business objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation in the real value of our company. We will not be controlled by an attempt to take advantage of an anticipated or perceived appeal of a specific industry, management group, or product.
3
In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider the following factors:
·
available technical, financial and managerial resources;
·
working capital and other financial requirements;
·
the history of operations, if any;
·
prospects for the future;
·
the nature of present and expected competition;
·
the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of the management;
·
the potential for further research, development or exploration;
·
the potential for growth and expansion;
·
the potential for profit;
·
the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, trade or service marks, name identification; and
·
other relevant factors.
Generally, our management will analyze all available factors and make a determination based upon a composite of available facts, without relying on any single factor.
Methods of Participation of Acquisition
Management will review specific businesses and then select the most suitable opportunities based on legal structure or method of participation. Such structures and methods may include, but are not limited to, leases, purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures, other contractual arrangements, and may involve a reorganization, merger or consolidation transaction. Management may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation, or other form of organization.
Procedures
As part of the our investigation of business opportunities, officers and directors may meet personally with management and key personnel of the firm sponsoring the business opportunity. We may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and conduct other reasonable measures.
We will generally ask to be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity. These materials may include the following:
1.
descriptions of product, service and company history;
2.
management resumes;
3.
financial information;
4.
available projections with related assumptions upon which they are based;
5.
an explanation of proprietary products and services;
6.
evidence of existing patents, trademarks or service marks or rights thereto;
7.
present and proposed forms of compensation to management;
8.
a description of transactions between the prospective entity and its affiliates;
9.
relevant analysis of risks and competitive conditions;
10.
a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; and
11.
and other information deemed relevant.
Competition
We expect to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to acquire a business opportunity. The primary competition is from other companies organized and funded for similar purposes, small venture capital partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals.
Employees
As of September 30, 2011, we have no employees. We expect we will utilize independent contractors, consultants, and other personnel from time to time to assist in our business efforts. We are not a party to any employment agreements.
RISK FACTORS
Ownership of our common stock involves a high degree of risk; you should consider carefully the factors set forth below, as well as other information contained in this Annual Report.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
An investment in our securities is extremely risky. You should carefully consider the following risks, in addition to the other information presented in this Form 10-K, before deciding to buy our securities. If any of the following risks actually materialize, our business and prospects could be seriously harmed and, as a result, the price and value of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are intended to be the material risks that are specific to us and to our industry.
Because we are a new business and we have not proven our ability to generate profit, an investment in our company is risky
.
We have a short operating history and must be considered in the development stage. We have no history of earnings or profits and there is no assurance that we will operate profitably in the future. There is no meaningful historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses. As a result of this limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast our potential revenue. We have accumulated a total loss of $309,347from October 12, 2005 through September 30, 2012. We have changed our business strategy and are now focusing our efforts on seeking a business opportunity. If we are not able to complete the successful development of our business plan, generate significant revenues, and attain sustainable profitable operations, then our business will fail.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to whether our company can continue as a going concern
.
We have generated no revenues since our inception and have incurred substantial losses. We have had losses of approximately $309,347 from our inception in October 2005 through September 30, 2012, and also a negative cash flow of $110,540. These factors among others indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern, particularly in the event that we cannot generate sufficient cash flow or raise sufficient capital to conduct our operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the value of our assets or the classification of our liabilities that might result if we would be unable to continue as a going concern.
The costs to meet our reporting requirements as a public company subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are substantial and may result in us having insufficient funds to operate our potential business
.
We will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting and legal expenses associated with remaining a public company. Those obligations will reduce and possibly eliminate our ability and resources to fund our operations and may prevent us from meeting our normal business obligations.
There is considerable risk embedded in business acquisition, which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of, or the contribution of the assets of, another company into us. Any business acquisition could present a number of risks, including incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations or assets and insufficient knowledge of the operation and market of an acquired business. Furthermore, any business acquisition or participation we pursue will likely be based on the decision of management without the consent, vote, or approval of our stockholders.
No assurances can be given that we will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. If we are unsuccessful in completing any such acquisition of another business, operations, or assets or if such business opportunity does not arise, our future growth, business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In the event that a target company is located, we cannot guaranty that an acquisition of such target company will assist us in realizing out business objectives.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK
There is a thin trading market for our common stock and if a market for our common stock does not develop further, our investors will be unable to sell their shares
.
There currently is a thin trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop further or be sustained. The OTC Bulletin Board is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members. If our common stock does not continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the public market for our common stock does not develop further, then investors may not be able to resell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. Even if we establish a stronger trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental stage companies, which may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares in this offering
.
We do not currently anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our stockholders in the near future. It is our current intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should, therefore, not purchase our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our shares, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, who currently do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock
.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
Because there is a thin trading market for our stock, an investment in our shares may be illiquid
.
There is a thin trading market for our stock and there can be no assurance that a stronger market market will develop. The market for our stock is likely to be limited, sporadic and highly volatile. Approximately 95% of our outstanding shares are restricted securities under Rule 144, which means that they are subject to restrictions on resale in the public market. Future sale of the restricted stock after these restrictions lapse or are satisfied, could have a depressive effect on the price of the stock in any public market that develops and the liquidity of your investment. Public trading of the common stock is covered by Rule 15c2-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell certain designated securities to persons other than established customers and certain categories of investors. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. Under certain circumstances, the purchaser may enjoy the right to rescind the transaction within a certain period of time. Consequently, so long as the common stock is a designated security under the rule, the ability of broker-dealers to effect certain trades may be affected adversely, thereby impeding the development of a meaningful market in the stock.
Shares of stock that are eligible for sale by our stockholders may decrease the price of our stock
.
We have 4,049,000 shares outstanding, of which 209,000 shares are freely tradable. The remaining 3,840,000 shares are restricted shares and may not be sold under Rule 144 until one year after we file a Current Report on Form 8-K following the closing of a qualifying transaction, as to which closings we cannot provide any assurances, or unless such shares have been registered for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If a public market for our stock should develop and if those holders are able to sell substantial amounts of our stock, then the market price of our stock could decrease.
We may issue more stock without stockholder input or consent which could dilute the book value of your investment
.
The board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. In addition, the board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of the stockholders, to fix and determine the rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock, which may be given voting rights superior to that of the common stock in this offering. Any issuance of additional shares of common stock or preferred stock will dilute the ownership percentage of stockholders and may further dilute the book value of our shares. It is likely we will seek additional capital in the future to fund operations. Any future capital will most likely reduce investors in this offerings percentage of ownership.
6
You will not receive dividend payments
.
We have not paid and do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future even if our operations are profitable. Earnings, if any, will be used to expand our operations, hire additional staff, and pay operating expenses and salaries, rather than to make distributions to stockholders. Future value of an investment will be tied to an increase in Princeton enterprise value and/or market price of our common stock, if trading on an exchange or market.
