Shares
of Common Stock
1,000,000
Minimum - 2,000,000 Maximum
Before
this offering, there has been no public market for our shares of common stock.
Assuming we raise the minimum amount in this offering, we will attempt to have
the shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. There is no assurance that
the shares will ever be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. To be quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must apply to make a market in our common
stock.
We are
offering up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock on a
self-underwritten basis, 1,000,000 shares minimum, and 2,000,000 shares maximum.
The offering price is $0.05 per share. In the event that 1,000,000 shares are
not sold within 180 days, at our sole discretion, we may extend the offering for
an additional 90 days. In the event that 1,000,000 shares are not sold within
the 180 days or within the additional 90 days if extended, all money received by
us and held in escrow will be promptly returned to you without charge, deduction
or interest. If at least 1,000,000 shares are sold within 180 days or within the
additional 90 days if extended, all money received by us will be retained by us
and there will be no refund. There are no minimum purchase requirements for each
individual investor. The proceeds of this offering will be deposited at
Fifth Third Bank, Columbus, Ohio, in an escrow account established by us, until
we have sold at least 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Once we sell at least
1,000,000 shares of common stock, Fifth Third Bank will release the funds from
escrow to us.
There are
no underwriting commissions involved in this offering. Our common stock will be
sold on our behalf by our officers and directors. The intended methods of
communication with potential investors include, without limitation, telephone
calls and personal contacts. Our officers and directors will not receive
any commissions or proceeds from the offering for selling the shares on our
behalf.
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Please see "Risk
Factors" starting on page 5.
Neither
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission
has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus
is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal

SUMMARY
OF OUR OFFERING
Prospectus
Summary
The
following summary is only a shortened version of the more detailed information,
exhibits and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its
entirety.
Our
Business
K-Kitz,
Inc. designs, assembles, markets and sells emergency preparedness kits and
supplies to school systems, municipalities, businesses and other
customers. We combine our own direct marketing and sales effort, primarily
through our kkitz.com website, with approximately 11 independent dealers which
resell our products to these target buyers throughout the country.
We custom
design and assemble most of our emergency preparedness kits based on the
individual needs of a buyer. During 2008, we supplied kits to end-users such as
the Board of Health of Franklin County, Ohio and the Roman Catholic Diocese for
parochial schools in and around Columbus, Ohio, and to dealers such as Airgas
Safety, Inc. and Safety Environmental Control, Inc. We believe these
customers are representative of our overall customer base. We are able to
assemble the kits using a variety of essential emergency supplies such as crank
lanterns, weatherband radios, portable decontamination chambers, megaphones,
first responder vests, protection facemasks, disposable gloves and blood
pressure cuffs. Our approach is to be responsive to customer needs by
performing these customized services, while also supplying a full line of
products from a single source. Competition in this market is based largely
on design capability, price, product quality, customer service and ability to
meet delivery requirements.
We were
incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 9, 2006. Our principal
executive offices are located at 1630 Integrity Drive East, Columbus, Ohio
43209, and our telephone number is (614) 449-8614. Our web address is
www.kkitz.com. Information on our website is not part of this
prospectus.
As described more fully in the Risk
Factors section below, we face numerous obstacles in operating and expanding our
business, including:
|
·
|
conservative
state and municipal budgets which negatively affect spending by school
systems and municipalities, our primary
customers,
|
|
·
|
lack
of capital to significantly expand our marketing capabilities beyond our
existing base in Columbus, Ohio,
|
|
·
|
many
competitors that make similar emergency preparedness kits, some of which
operate in large geographical regions and sell nationally and have greater
resources than we have, and
|
|
·
|
our
poor financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.

Risk
factors
|
|
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The common stock
offered in this prospectus is for investment purposes only and there is
currently no public trading market for our common stock. Please
refer to the sections “Risk Factors” and “Dilution” before making an
investment in our stock.
|
The
proceeds of the offering will be deposited at Fifth Third Bank, Columbus, Ohio,
in an escrow account established by us. Fifth Third Bank will hold the
funds in the account until we receive a minimum of $50,000 at which time Fifth

will immediately be available to us. If we do not receive the minimum amount of
$50,000 within 180 days of the effective date of our registration statement, we
may extend the offering for an additional 90 days. If we have not received the
minimum amount at the end of the 90-day extension, Fifth Third Bank will
promptly return all funds to you without charge, deduction or interest. During
the 180-day period and possible additional 90-day period, no funds will be
returned to you. You will only receive a refund of your subscription if we do
not raise a minimum of $50,000 within the 180-day period referred to above which
could be expanded by an additional 90 days at our discretion for a total of 270
days.

RISK
FACTORS
Please
consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common
stock. We discuss all material risks in the risk factors.
Risks
Associated with K-Kitz
We
depend on state and municipal budgets, which have been cut over the past several
years, and negatively affect spending by school systems and municipalities,
which are our primary customers.
Our
primary market depends on the adequacy of funding of school systems and
municipalities. As a result of conservative state and municipal
budgets caused by the current economic slowdown, we believe this market has not
experienced any appreciable growth over the past several years. This was
particularly true in our major geographic market, which is the central Ohio
area. In addition, prices have trended upward for products used in our
emergency preparedness kits. This, together with competitive bidding for
orders, affects our overall profitability and, should these conditions persist,
will continue to have an adverse effect on our financial result in the
future.
We
have reported limited sales and net income, and there can be no assurance that
we will ever generate significant sales or net income.
We were
incorporated in August 2006 and have had limited operations. Our
operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a
new business enterprise. The likelihood of our success must be considered
in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays
frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a new business, the
scaling-up of operations and the competitive environment in which we are
operating. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we had revenue of
$459,229 and net income of $8,392. As of December 31, 2008, we had total
stockholders’
equity of $35,578. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we had revenue of
$197,120 and net income of $7,789. No assurance can be given that we will
continue to have net income or ever generate significant sales.
Our
poor financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern.
Our independent registered public
accounting firm has indicated in its audit report for the year ended December
31, 2008, that, because we rely on loans and advances from related parties to
meet our current liquidity needs, there is substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. Our poor financial condition could inhibit
our ability to achieve our business plan.
We
compete with many different companies, some of which operate in large
geographical regions and sell nationally with greater resources than we
have.
We
compete with a variety of companies that manufacture or distribute emergency
preparedness kits. While many competitors are small, privately-owned
companies, some operate in large geographical regions and some sell nationally,
either through a system of dealers, direct sales offices, or both, such as
Aramsco
(a Safeguard Industrial company), with greater financial and personnel resources
than we have. Competition in these markets is based largely on design
capability, price, product quality, customer service and ability to meet
delivery requirements.
We
could be exposed to product liability if the products we sell malfunction, and
such damages may be substantial.
The products we sell are intended to be
used in emergency and disaster situations. Although we do not sell
products for immediate medical treatment or for use in a “life or death”
situation, in the event of a malfunction of any of our products, irrespective of
the cause, we could be sued alone or along with other companies and become
liable for substantial damages. We have secured product liability
insurance aggregating $1,000,000. There can be no assurance that such
insurance will be adequate to protect us from defense costs and a possible
adverse judgment against us.
We
have a limited marketing and sales capability, which would not currently support
extensive growth and could cause our results of operations to be
stagnant.
We have limited internal marketing and
sales capability at this time. We also presently use independent dealers
to market our products. These dealers handle other product lines, many of
which may be of greater significance to them than our products. Currently,
our own direct marketing and sales force and independent dealers would not
support extensive growth. This limited marketing and sales capability
could cause our results of operations to be stagnant for an indefinite period of
time.
We
have a need for the proceeds of this offering to expand our marketing efforts
and for subsequent funding thereafter.
We have a need for the proceeds of this
offering in order to finance our planned marketing efforts that would include
exhibiting our products at selected trade shows and conducting print and
direct-mail campaigns to targeted customers. No assurance can be given
that the amount of money being allocated to such marketing efforts will be
sufficient to complete these plans, or that we will derive any profits from
these planned marketing efforts. Additionally, although we believe the
anticipated proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand and projected
cash flow from operating activities, will allow us to conduct our operations for
at least the next 12 to 18 months, our continued operations thereafter will
depend upon the availability of cash flow, if any, from our operations or our
ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. There
is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is
needed, or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms and
conditions favorable to or affordable by us. If we cannot obtain needed
funds, we may be forced to curtail our activities.
If
Jennifer H. Jarvis resigns or dies without our having found a replacement, our
operations may be suspended or cease. If that should occur, you could lose your
investment.
Jennifer
H. Jarvis is our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer. We are dependent upon her to coordinate the marketing of our
products and for her knowledge and contacts in our business. If Ms. Jarvis
should resign or die there will be no one with her knowledge to operate the
company. Further, we do not have an employment agreement with Ms. Jarvis and we
do not have key-person life insurance for our benefit should she die. If we lose
the services of Ms. Jarvis, and until we find another person to replace her, our
operations may be suspended. In that event, it is possible you could lose your
entire investment.
We
use a small number of suppliers for our products, and rely on them for prompt
shipment and quality control.
The products used by us to produce our
emergency preparedness kits are currently provided to our specifications by
single suppliers, so as to maintain good relations for prompt shipments to us
when required and for consistent product quality standards. Our management
believes that alternative sources of supply of these materials used by us to
produce our kits are readily available. We have never experienced any
difficulty with the quantity or quality of products from our product
suppliers. All other component products are readily available from a
variety of sources.
Our
technology and know-how is unpatented and others may seek to copy it without
compensating us.
We do not
patent technology or other know-how developed by us relating to our
decontamination chambers or pumps or certain other minor products and processes,
and we cannot be sure that others will not independently develop the same or
similar technology, or otherwise obtain access to and use our technology or
know-how without compensating us. To protect our rights in these areas, we
require all employees, consultants and others who work for or with us to enter
into confidentiality agreements. We cannot be sure that these agreements
will provide meaningful protection for our know-how, trade secrets or other
information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or
disclosure. We do not, however, consider the grant of patents essential to
the success of our business.
Having
only two officers and directors (the same persons) limits our ability to
establish effective independent corporate governance procedures and increases
the control of our senior executive officer.
We have only two directors, who are
also our executive officers. Accordingly, we cannot establish board
committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like
compensation or audit issues. In addition, a tie vote of board members is
decided in favor of the chairman (who is Jennifer H. Jarvis, our President,
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer), which gives Ms. Jarvis
significant control over all corporate issues.
Unless and until we have a larger board
of directors that would include one or more independent members, there will be
limited oversight of Ms. Jarvis’ decisions and activities and little ability for
you to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not
in your best interests.
Risks
Associated with this Offering
Because
there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to
resell your stock and, as a result, your investment is illiquid.
There is
currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is no
central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell
your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a
buyer and negotiate your own sale, of which there is no assurance. As a result,
your investment is illiquid.
We
are selling the shares offered in this prospectus without an underwriter and may
not be able to sell all of the shares.
The shares of common stock are being
offered on our behalf by our officers and directors on a self-underwritten
efforts basis. No broker/dealer has been retained as an underwriter and no
broker/dealer is under any obligation to purchase any shares. There are no
firm commitments to purchase any of the shares in this offering.
Consequently, there is no guarantee that we, through our officers and directors,
are capable of selling all of the shares offered in this
propsectus.
Finra
sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell
our stock.
The
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or Finra, has adopted rules that
require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker/dealer must
have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that
customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to
obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment
objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, Finra
believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities
will not be suitable for at least some customers. Finra requirements will
make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy
our common stock when traded, which may have the effect of reducing the level of
trading activity and liquidity of our common stock in the future. Further,
many brokers charge higher fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer
broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a
stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.
Jennifer
H. Jarvis will continue to exercise significant control over our operations. As
a minority stockholder, you would have no control over certain matters requiring
stockholder approval that could affect your ability to resell any shares you
purchase in this offering.
If the
maximum offering is achieved, Jennifer H. Jarvis will own 69.2% of our then
outstanding shares of common stock. Due to the controlling amount of her share
ownership, she will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of
all corporate transactions, including the election of directors, approval of
significant corporate transactions, changes in control of the company or other
matters that could affect your ability to ever resell your shares. Ms. Jarvis’
interests may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus
result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other
stockholders.
We
will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance and we
may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to
sell their shares, if at all.
Our
business plan allows for the estimated $39,000 cost of this registration
statement to be paid from existing cash on hand. We plan to contact a market
maker promptly following the effective date of this registration statement (and
do not currently expect any shortage of or delay in identifying a qualified
market maker) and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
operated by Finra. To be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board,
issuers must remain current in their periodic report filings with the SEC.
Securities that become delinquent in their required filings are removed. In
order for us to remain in compliance we will require funds to cover the cost of
these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash
resources. If we are unable to remain in compliance, it may be difficult for you
to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
We
do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock at any time.
Don’t buy our shares if you expect to receive dividends.
We have
never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and do not expect paying
dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable
future.
Our
charter contains some anti-takeover provisions that may inhibit a takeover that
might benefit you.
The
provisions in our certificate of incorporation relating to delegation to the
board of directors of rights to determine the terms of preferred stock may have
the effect not only of discouraging attempts by others to buy us, but also of
making it more difficult or impossible for existing stockholders to make
management changes. The ability of our board of directors to determine the
terms of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with
possible business purchases and other corporate purposes, could make it more
difficult for a third party to secure a majority of our outstanding shares of
common stock.
USE
OF PROCEEDS

The net
proceeds of this offering will be used to expand our marketing efforts and for
working capital. The proceeds allocated for marketing will be used
principally to exhibit our products at selected trade shows scheduled in
2009-2010, and to engage in one or more print and direct-mail campaigns to
targeted customers. See “Business Description — Sales and Markets.”
A portion of the proceeds allocated for working capital will be used to add the
latest e-commerce features to our website. If more than 1,000,000 shares
are sold in this offering, we may determine to hire additional sales
staff.
We
believe the anticipated proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand
and projected cash flow from operating activities, will allow us to conduct our
operations for at least the next 12 months if the minimum number of shares is
sold and for at least 18 months if the maximum number of shares is
sold.
There are
no underwriting commissions involved in this offering. Our common stock will be
sold on our behalf by our officers and directors. Our officers and directors
will not receive any commissions or proceeds from the offering for selling the
shares on our behalf.
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
The price
of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to
raise up to a total of $100,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no
relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of
value. Among the factors considered were:
|
·
|
our limited operating
history,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
the proceeds to be raised by the
offering,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
the
amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in
proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing
stockholders, and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
our relative cash
requirements.
|
DILUTION
OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
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.
As of
December 31, 2008, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was
approximately $60,143, or approximately $0.0133 per share based upon 4,500,000
shares outstanding. Our offering costs will be paid from cash on hand, not from
the proceeds of this offering. Of our $39,000 estimated offering costs, $12,750
had already been paid as of December 31, 2008, resulting in $26,250 remaining
costs.
If
100% of the Shares Are Sold
Upon
completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net
tangible book value of the 6,500,000 shares to be outstanding will be
approximately $160,143, or approximately $0.024 per share. The net tangible book
value of the shares held by our existing stockholder will be increased by $0.011
per share without any additional investment on their part.
After
completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold, non-affiliated
stockholders would own 30.8% of the total number of shares then outstanding for
which non-affiliated stockholders will have made a cash investment of $100,000,
or $0.05 per share. Our existing affiliated stockholder paid $45,000 for
4,500,000 shares of common stock (at a price of $0.01 per share). If 2,000,000
shares are sold in this offering, our existing affiliated stockholder will own
69.2% of the total number of shares then outstanding.
If
the Minimum Number of the Shares Are Sold
Upon
completion of this offering, in the event 1,000,000 shares (the minimum) are
sold, the net tangible book value of the 5,500,000 shares to be outstanding will
be approximately $110,143, or approximately $0.017 per share. The net tangible
book value of the shares held by our affiliated stockholder will be increased by
$0.0037 per share without any additional investment on her part.
After
completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, non-affiliate
stockholders will own 18.2% of the total number of shares then outstanding for
which non-affiliate stockholders will have made a cash investment of $50,000, or
$0.05 per share. Our existing affiliated stockholder paid $45,000 for 4,500,000
shares of common stock (at a price of $0.01 per share). If 1,000,000 shares are
sold in this offering, our existing affiliated stockholder will own 81.8% of the
total number of shares then outstanding.

the investment of our existing stockholders.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
This
section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that
reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like
believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions,
or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place
undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the
date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical results or our predictions.
This
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are
historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). These forward-looking statements involve
certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the
factors set forth above under “Risk Factors.” The words “believe,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update and
revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any
revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect
any future or developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non-reporting issuer.
Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of
the Securities Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with
an initial public offering or to statements made by a penny stock issuer such as
us.
Although
the forward-looking statements in this registration statement reflect the good
faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and
factors currently known by us. Consequently, and because forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results
and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in
the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and
consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other
reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that
may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and
prospects.
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and
other financial information included in this registration
statement.
Overview
K-Kitz,
Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on August 8, 2006. We custom design and
assemble most of our emergency preparedness kits based on the individual needs
of a buyer. During 2008, we supplied kits to end-users such as the Board
of Health of Franklin County, Ohio and the Roman Catholic Diocese for parochial
schools in and around Columbus, Ohio, and to dealers such as Airgas Safety, Inc.
and Safety Environmental Control, Inc. We are able to assemble the kits
using a variety of essential emergency supplies such as crank lanterns,
weatherband radios, portable decontamination chambers, megaphones, first
responder vests, protection facemasks, disposable gloves and blood pressure
cuffs. Our approach is to be responsive to customer needs by performing
these customized services, while also supplying a full line of products from a
single source. Competition in this market is based largely on design
capability, price, product quality, customer service and ability to meet
delivery requirements.
We face numerous obstacles
in operating and expanding our business, including:
|
·
|
conservative
state and municipal budgets which negatively affect spending by school
systems and municipalities, our primary
customers,
|
|
·
|
lack
of capital to significantly expand our marketing capabilities beyond our
existing base in Columbus, Ohio,
|
|
·
|
many
competitors that make similar emergency preparedness kits, some of which
operate in large geographical regions and sell nationally and have greater
resources than we have, and
|
|
·
|
our
poor financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
|
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue from the sales of our products in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletins 101 and 104. The criteria for recognition is as
follows:
|
·
|
persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists,
|
|
·
|
delivery
has occurred or services have been
rendered,
|
|
·
|
the
seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable,
and
|
|
·
|
collectability
is reasonably assured.
|
A
majority of our revenues are generated through our catalogs, either through the
Internet or telephone, at which time the customer places an order. Shipments of
products are made as soon as the customized orders are placed in kits and
quality checked. Revenues from sales of kits and related products are
recorded when title transfers, which is typically upon shipment. Most
shipments are made by commercial couriers. Invoicing occurs at shipment,
by regular mail.
A major
customer or vendor is a customer or vendor that represents 10% of our sales or
purchases.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, we had three major customers representing
approximately 80% of our sales: Franklin County, Ohio - 50.4%, Airgas
Safety, Inc. - 17.8%, and Safety Environmental Control, Inc. - 10.8%. See
“Business - Sales and Markets” for additional information about the nature of
our customer relationships.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, we had three major vendors that represented
approximately 91% of our purchases of merchandise: Jendco Safety Supply
Inc. - 58.6%, Wolf Creek Co. - 18.9%, and TM Poly Film, Inc. - 13.9%. For
additional information about our relationship with Jendco Safety Supply, see
“Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
Results
of Operations
Year
ended December 31, 2008 compared to Year ended December 31, 2007
For the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, revenue earned from three customers amounted to approximately 80% and
69%, respectively, of total sales revenue. Accounts receivable from these
customers equaled $41,167 and $11,912 of total receivables at December 31, 2008
and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Our cost of sales were 84.1% of revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2008, and our cost of sales were 64.5% of
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase of 16.6% was
due to the greater volume from our contract with the Franklin County, Ohio Board
of Health.
Our
revenue of $459,229 increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 by 133.0%
from our revenues of $197,120 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This
was due to the greater volume from our contract with the Franklin County, Ohio
Board of Health.
Our selling, general and administrative
expenses remained constant as they were $62,342 for the year ended December 31,
2008 as compared to $62,361 for the year ended December 31, 2007. We
expect to maintain consistent levels of selling, general and administrative
expenses in the foreseeable future.
Total operating expenses for the year
ended December 31, 2008 were $448,825 as compared to $187,465 for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The 139.4% increase of total operating expenses was
primarily due to the increase of the cost of sales resulting from the greater
volume from our contract with the Franklin County, Ohio Board of Health in the
year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2007.
Accordingly, for the year ended
December 31, 2008, we had net income of $8,392 and for the year ended December
31, 2007, we had net income of $7,789.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Our principal capital resources have
historically been provided through advances from Jennifer H. Jarvis, our
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
At
December 31, 2008, we had total assets of $140,606 consisting of cash, accounts
receivable, deferred tax asset and prepaid taxes, and inventory.
At
December 31, 2008, our total current liabilities were $105,028, consisting of
accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes payable. We have no
long-term liabilities.
We intend to provide funding for our
future activities, if any, through a combination of operating revenues, private
placement of equity securities, public sales of equity securities and borrowing
from commercial lenders. At December 31, 2008, we had $43,717 in cash on
hand, which we believe, together with the anticipated proceeds of this offering
and projected cash flow from operating activities, is enough to sustain
operations for at least the next 12 to 18 months. This estimate is made
without considering additional funding. We have no agreement, commitment
or understanding to secure any new funding from any source other than operating
revenues.
Our
future success is dependent upon our ability to continue operations, generate
cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no
assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell
additional shares of common stock or borrow additional funds. Our inability to
obtain additional cash could have a material adverse affect on our ability to
continue in business and implement our business plan.
We do not
intend to conduct any product research and development, nor do we intend to
purchase any significant equipment, in the foreseeable future.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Seasonality
We do not have a seasonal business
cycle. Our revenues and operating profits are generally derived evenly
throughout the months of the year.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Use of estimates. The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly
liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2008, there were no cash
equivalents.
Allowance for doubtful
accounts. Accounts receivable reflect those amounts due to the
company from its customers and reflect the net realizable value of the balances
due. Terms are net 30 days from invoice. We provide an allowance for
doubtful account which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables as well
as historical collection information. In determining the amount of the
allowance, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions. We
have determined that no reserve for uncollectible accounts was required as of
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Inventory. Inventory is
valued at the lower of cost or market value which approximates the first in,
first out method of inventory flow. The balance reflects the net
realizable value of such inventory.
Income taxes. We account
for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (Statement 109).
Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date. The current income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2008
was $1,481 for Federal and $531 for state, which was calculated at a federal
rate net of state tax benefit of 14.2% and a state rate of 5.1% The income
tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,374 for Federal and $792
for state, which was calculated at a federal rate net of state tax benefit of
14.2% and a state rate of 5.1%.
Basic and diluted net loss per common
share. Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are
calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. The per share amounts include the dilutive effect
of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted loss per
share is the same due to the anti dilutive nature of potential common stock
equivalents. We had no common stock equivalents outstanding at December
31, 2008.
Stock-based compensation.
We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the
fair value method in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards no.123(R) or SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments, and
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or SAB 107, Share-Based Payments. We
account for the stock options issued to non-employees in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, or SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and Emerging Issues Task Force No.
96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments with Variable Terms that are Issued for
Consideration other than Employee Services under FASB Statement No.
123.
We did not grant any stock options or
warrants during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
We do not
expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a
significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash
flow.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements
87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize
the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan
(other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS 158 also
requires the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of
the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position (with
limited exceptions). Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 158 to have a
material impact on our financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115” (FAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A
business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value
measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years.
In July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation requires recognition and
measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not”
approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. Management is still evaluating what effect this will have on our financial
statements.
In September 2006, the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission issued SAB 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements.” This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the
effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements
for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach
that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects
of each of a company’s financial statements and the related financial statement
disclosures. SAB 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative
effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after
November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the
carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with
the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings.
Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires
detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being
corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. We do not
anticipate that SAB 108 will have a material impact on our financial
statements.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Market
risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices, such as foreign currency exchange, interest rates and commodity
prices. Currently, we are not materially affected by changes in any of
these instances.
BUSINESS
K-Kitz
designs, assembles, markets and sells emergency preparedness kits and
supplies. These products are sold to school systems, municipalities,
businesses and other customers. We combine our own direct marketing and
sales effort, primarily through our kkitz.com website, with approximately 11
independent dealers which resell our products to these target buyers throughout
the country.
Market
Following the terrorist attacks in New
York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, the floods and damage caused by
Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in August 2005 and the school shootings in
Columbine, Colorado in April 1999, federal, state and local governments, as well
as private businesses, began more actively focusing on preparing and planning
for emergencies and other catastrophic events. Many governmental entities
and businesses have invested in their response and recovery capabilities.
In recent years, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has provided grants to state and local programs tasked
with disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery planning.
Due to the market need for emergency preparedness materials, companies such as
ours were established.
Products
We are able to assemble our emergency
preparedness kits using a variety of essential emergency supplies such as (in
the order of most to least ordered products from us):
·

crank
lanterns,

|
Our “grab
and go” kits are often put into the form of a back pack or duffle bag, and our
large P.O.D. (point of distribution) kits are placed within metal cages.
Both kits are designed to be easily stored so they can be retrieved and
transported when a disaster or an emergency occurs or requires evacuation.
The kits are built to be durable and maintenance free.
We custom design most of our emergency
preparedness kits based on the individual needs of a buyer. We design and
assemble our products at our Columbus, Ohio office. Our “grab and go”
emergency preparedness kits are normally priced from $100 to $350 per kit and
our P.O.D. kits are normally priced from $10,000 to $14,000 per kit, depending
on the supplies contained in the kit and the overall size of the system, and
whether the products are being sold through our own website or through
independent dealers. Product pricing is re-evaluated semiannually by
reviewing the costs of assembling the system.
Sales
and Markets
We sell our kits primarily through our
kkitz.com website using our own sales staff and through independent dealers
which resell our products to our target customers throughout the country.
Warranties made with respect to our products are passed on from the actual
manufacturers of the products to the end-users and, we believe, are consistent
with industry standards. Jennifer H. Jarvis, our President and Chief
Executive Officer, coordinates the marketing of our products. Part of our
distribution channel consists of the sales efforts of independent dealers who do
their own marketing and customizing of kits. As of December 31, 2008, we
had approximately 11 unwritten arrangements with dealers covering various
geographical areas of the United States, on a non-exclusive basis. None of
the arrangements require minimum sales of our products. Of these dealers,
six dealers entered into oral agreements with us in late 2008, and thus sales
efforts have only recently begun.
Sales to
school systems and municipalities account for a majority of our revenues.
Our business is currently concentrated in the central part of Ohio, in and
around Columbus.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, we had approximately 15 customers.
During 2008, we supplied kits to end-users such as the Board of Health of
Franklin County, Ohio and the Roman Catholic Diocese for parochial schools in
and around Columbus, Ohio, and to dealers such as Airgas Safety, Inc. and Safety
Environmental Control, Inc. We believe these customers are representative
of our overall customer base.
We sell
our product line primarily through a bid process conducted by school systems and
municipalities, working with our sales staff.
Substantially all of our customer sales
are effected pursuant to relatively informal, computer-generated purchase orders
that include price and payment terms, products ordered and shipping
instructions. The standard form of sales invoice that we provide to
customers is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part.
Following sales, our sales staff
follows-up with customers to provide them with refills and replacements as
products are used or damaged, or their “shelf life” expires (such as with
batteries and some plastic parts).
Going forward, our marketing and sales
strategy is to increase brand awareness of K-Kitz. We intend to implement
an extensive marketing plan to reach the maximum number of potential customers
to grow demand. We have plans to exhibit our products at selected trade
shows scheduled in 2009-2010. We also intend to retain an outsourced
marketing firm to create and execute marketing strategies for us. We will
work with the marketing firm to create a new logo and tagline to facilitate
brand recognition and to engage in one or more print and direct-mail campaigns
to targeted customers.
Assembly
We conduct the assembly of our
emergency preparedness kits at our 10,000 square-foot Columbus, Ohio
facility.
Raw
Materials
The emergency supplies used in our kits
are widely available but are purchased from three main sources in order to
obtain favorable prices and terms. During the year ended December 31,
2008, we purchased 58.6% of our kit requirements from Jendco Safety Supply Inc.
(disposable emergency preparedness materials), 18.9% from Wolf Creek Co. (pipes
for decontamination chambers) and 13.9% from TM Poly Film, Inc. (plastic
sheeting for decontamination chambers). Prices have trended upward for
products used in our emergency preparedness kits. These prices have
generally been passed on to our customers. For additional information
about our relationship with Jendco Safety Supply, see “Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions.”
Competition
We compete with a variety of companies
that make similar emergency preparedness kits. Based on our review of
trade publications and attendance at trade shows, we believe there are more than
50 companies that compete in the sale of these kits, some of which compete in
large geographical regions and some that sell nationally, either through a
system of dealers, direct sales offices, or both, such as Aramsco (a Safeguard
Industrial company) for emergency supplies, and Grayling Industries and TM Poly
Film, Inc. for decontamination chambers. These companies have had many
years of business experience and have greater financial and personnel resources,
including marketing and sales organizations. We do not believe any one
company holds a dominant share of this market.
Emergency
preparedness kits compete on the basis of design capability, price, product
quality, customer service and ability to meet delivery
requirements.
Seasonality
We do not have a seasonal business
cycle.
Backlog
Due to the nature of our assembly
process and customer base, we purchase and ship products to our customers
without experiencing a significant backlog (the time elapsing from contract
execution to fulfillment). As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had no
order backlog. Revenues from sales of kits and related products are
recorded when title transfers, which is typically upon shipment.
Regulation
Our activities currently are subject to
no particular regulation by governmental agencies other than that routinely
imposed on corporate businesses, and no such regulation is now
anticipated.
Employees
As of December 31, 2008, we employed
our two executive officers on a full-time basis, as well as two part-time
employees who assemble and package our products. We use contract labor for
the rest of our assembly requirements. No employees are covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. We consider relations with our employees
to be good.
Patents
and Trademarks
We do not hold any patents or
trademarks on our products or processes relating to our business.
Insurance
We
maintain insurance with respect to our properties and operations in such form,
in such amounts and with such insurers as is customary in the business in which
we are engaged. We believe that the amount and form of our insurance
coverage is sufficient.
Environmental
Matters
In our operations, we do not store,
handle, emit, transport or discharge hazardous materials or waste
products.
Properties
We occupy a 10,000 square foot office
in Columbus, Ohio, which serves as our principal executive offices and
warehouse. Our lease at this location runs from month-to-month, and we
currently pay $1,300 in rent per month.
Legal
Proceedings
There are
no pending or threatened lawsuits against us.

Jennifer H. Jarvis has been
our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a director
(acting as chairman) since we were incorporated in August 2006. Ms.
Jarvis’ responsibilities include running the day-to-day operations and business
development of our company. Before founding the company in August 2006,
she was a sales representative for Jendco Safety Supply Inc., a safety products
distributor based in Columbus, Ohio, since September 2004, and a night club
event coordinator for clubs in the Columbus metro area since May 2004. Ms.
Jarvis was also a customer service representative at Safelite Auto Glass Corp.
in Columbus from June 2000 to September 2004. Ms. Jarvis received a B.S.
degree in human development and family science from the Ohio State
University.
Michael J. Funtjar has been
our Chief Operating Officer, Secretary and a director since we were incorporated
in August 2006. Mr. Funtjar’s responsibilities include overseeing our kit
assembly and order fulfillment. Before joining the company, he was a senior
event and partner management specialist with the American Motorcyclist
Association since March 2004, and a real estate operations sales person with
Prudential Residential One from May 2002 to March 2004. Mr. Funtjar
attended Columbus State Community College.
The board
of directors appoints our executive officers annually. A majority vote of the
directors who are in office are required to fill director vacancies. Each
director is elected for the term of one year, and until his or her successor is
elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.
As long as we have an even number of directors, a tie vote of board members on
issues are resolved in favor of the vote of the chairman (who is Jennifer H.
Jarvis, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer). We have never experienced a deadlock in director voting.
There are no family relationships among our directors and executive
officers. Ms. Jarvis and Mr. Funtjar may be deemed “promoters” of our
company and underwriters of this offering.

We
presently do not have any pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock option,
profit sharing or other similar benefit plans for officers, employees or
directors. However, we may adopt plans in the future.
Director
Compensation
Our
directors are not currently compensated for their services as
directors.
Director
Independence and Board Committees
We
presently have no “independent directors,” according to Nasdaq’s guidelines,
because our directors also serve as executive officers. We have not
established a separate audit, compensation, nominations and corporate
governance, or any other board committees to date. All such relevant
issues are decided by our entire board of directors. We are not required
to maintain board committees at this time because our shares are not listed on a
national securities exchange.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
In March 2009, we adopted a Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics which is applicable to our future employees and
which also includes a Code of Ethics for our CEO and senior financial officers
and persons performing similar functions. A code of ethics is a written
standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
|
·
|
honest
and ethical conduct,
|
|
·
|
full,
fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings
and public statements,
|
|
·
|
compliance
with applicable laws, rules and
regulations,
|
|
·
|
the
prompt reporting violation of the code,
and
|
|
·
|
accountability
for adherence to the code.
|
A copy of
our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is included as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Employment
Agreements
Neither
Ms. Jarvis nor Mr. Funtjar has an employment agreement with us.
Legal
Proceedings
No
officer, director, or persons nominated for such positions, promoter or
significant employee has been involved in the last five years in any of the
following:
|
·
|
Any bankruptcy petition filed by
or against any business of which such person was a general partner or
executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years
prior to that time,
|
|
·
|
Any conviction in a criminal
proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations and other minor
offenses),
|
|
·
|
Being subject to any order,
judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of
any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining,
barring suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of
business, securities or banking activities,
and
|
|
·
|
Being found by a court of
competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities
or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or
vacated.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
There are no relationships or
transactions requiring disclosure between us and our related persons, promoters
or control persons, other than with regard to Jendco Safety Supply Inc.
(Jendco).
Jendco, our largest vendor, is owned by
the mother of Jennifer H. Jarvis, our President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer. Our principal executive offices and warehouse are
located within a larger facility owned by Jendco. Our lease at this
location runs from month-to-month, and we currently pay $1,300 in rent per
month. We paid total rent of $15,600 in each of the years ended December
31, 2008 and 2007 to Jendco.
We sold products to Jendco totaling
$17,546 and $11,974 in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
and had an accounts receivable from Jendco of $13,276 and $6,735 as of December
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We purchased raw materials from Jendco
totaling $195,956 and $25,354 in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and had an accounts payable from Jendco of $51,480 and $0 as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We believe that all of such
transactions and arrangements were advantageous to us and were on terms no less
favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.

The table
above is based upon information derived from our stock records. Unless otherwise
indicated in the footnotes to the table and subject to community property laws
where applicable, each of the persons named in the table has sole or shared
voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially
owned. Except as set forth above, applicable percentages are based upon
4,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 30, 2009.
The
information presented above regarding beneficial ownership of our voting
securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of
ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a
“beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote
or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the
disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security
as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or
investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any
convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may
be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of
beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by
dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes
the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or
investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding
as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right
to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the
denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each
beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable
community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owner of our common
stock listed above has sole voting and investment power with respect to the
shares shown.
We are
unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a
subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION AND TERMS OF THE OFFERING
We are
offering up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock on a
self-underwritten basis, 1,000,000 shares minimum, and 2,000,000 shares maximum.
The offering price is $0.05 per share. Funds will be deposited at Fifth Third
Bank, Columbus, Ohio, in an escrow account established by us. The funds will be
held in the account until we receive a minimum of $50,000, at which time Fifth
Third Bank will release those funds to us for our use as set forth in the "Use
of Proceeds" section of this prospectus.
In the
event that 1,000,000 shares are not sold within 180 days, at our sole
discretion, we may extend the offering for an additional 90 days. In the event
that 1,000,000 shares are not sold within the 180 days or within the additional
90 days if extended, all monies received by us and held in escrow will be
promptly returned to you without charge, deduction or interest. If at
least 1,000,000 shares are sold within 180 days or within the additional 90 days
if extended, all monies received by us and held in escrow will be released to us
and there will be no refund. There are no minimum purchase requirements for each
individual investor.
Our
shares of common stock will be sold on our behalf by our officers and
directors. Potential investors include, but are not limited to, friends,
family members and business acquaintances of our officers and directors.
The intended methods of communication include, without limitation, telephone
calls and personal contacts. In their efforts, our officers and directors
will not use any mass advertising methods such as the Internet or print
media. Our officers and directors (including any of their affiliates) will
not receive any commissions or proceeds from the offering for selling the shares
on our behalf. We have not engaged the services of any broker/dealer to
assist us in selling the shares.
There are
no finders fees involved in our distribution. Officers, directors, affiliates or
anyone involved in marketing the shares will not be allowed to purchase shares
in the offering. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the
offering. You will only have the right to have your funds returned if we do not
raise the minimum amount of the offering or there would be a change in the
material terms of the offering. The following are material terms that would
allow you to be entitled to a refund of your money:
|
·
|
extension of the offering period
beyond 180 days,
|
|
·
|
change in the offering
price,
|
|
·
|
change in the minimum sales
requirement,
|
|
·
|
change to allow sales to
affiliates in order to meet the minimum sales
requirement,
|
|
·
|
change in the amount of proceeds
necessary to release the proceeds held in the separate escrow account,
and
|
|
·
|
change in the application of the
proceeds.
|
If the
changes above occur, any new offering may be made by means of a post-effective
amendment.
We will
sell the shares in this offering through our officers and directors. They will
receive no commissions from the sale of any shares. They will not register as a
broker/dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in
reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a
person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's
securities and not be deemed to be a broker/dealer. The conditions are
that:
|
·
|
The person is not statutorily
disqualified, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the
Securities Exchange Act, at the time of his
participation,
|
|
·
|
The person is not compensated in
connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other
remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in
securities,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
The person is not at the time of
their participation, an associated person of a broker/dealer,
and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
The person meets the conditions
of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, in
that he (a) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the
end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer
otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities, (b) is not a
broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within
the preceding 12 months, and (c) does not participate in selling and
offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other
than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or
(a)(4)(iii).
|
This is a
self-underwritten offering. This prospectus forms a part of a registration
statement that permits our officers and directors to sell the shares directly to
the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any
shares they sell. There are no plans or arrangements to enter into any contracts
or agreements to sell the shares with a broker or dealer. Our officers and
directors will sell the shares and intend to offer them to friends, family
members and business acquaintances. In offering the securities on our behalf,
our officers and directors will rely on the safe harbor from broker/dealer
registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, which sets
forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may
participate in the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a
broker/dealer.
Our
executive officers and directors (including their respective affiliates) will
not purchase shares in this offering to reach the minimum offering
amount.
Offering
Period and Expiration Date
This
offering will start on the date this registration statement is declared
effective by the SEC and continue for a period of 180 days. We may extend the
offering period for an additional 90 days, unless the offering is completed or
otherwise terminated by us. We reserve the right to terminate this offering at
anytime. We have not determined under what circumstances we would terminate the
offering prior to the expiration of the offering period; however, we reserve the
right to do so. Such termination will be solely at our discretion. Should we do
so and have not reached the minimum amount, your funds will be promptly returned
to you without charge, deduction or interest. If we terminate the offering prior
to the end to the offering period, but have reached at least the minimum
offering amount, we will retain the proceeds.
We will
not market these securities or accept any money until this registration
statement is declared effective by the SEC.

the SEC. Once the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, if

(and as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part), and

15(g) of the Exchange Act - Penny Stock Disclosure
Our
shares are "penny stock" covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who
sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors (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 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by
these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the
transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rules may affect the ability of
broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to resell
your shares.
Section
15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who
sell penny stock. These rules require a one-page summary of certain essential
items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to an understanding of the
function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealers
"spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the
broker/dealer's duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by
any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers' rights and remedies in
cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority’s toll-free telephone number and the central number of the
North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), for information on
the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. While
Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to broker/dealers, they do not
apply to us.
Rule
15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny
stock rules.
Rule
15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stock unless the
broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure
document.
Rule
15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny
stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently
confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information
concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule
15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a
customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of
compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock
transaction.
Rule
15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other
than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or
prior to the transaction, information about the sales person's
compensation.
Rule
15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stock to provide their customers
with monthly account statements.
The
foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner
whatsoever. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to
resell your shares because many brokers are unwilling to buy, sell or trade
penny stock as a result of the additional sales practices imposed upon them
which are described in this section.
Regulation
M
We are
subject to Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Regulation M
governs activities of underwriters, issuers, selling security holders and others
in connection with offerings of securities. Regulation M prohibits distribution
participants and their affiliated purchasers from bidding for, purchasing or
attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase the securities being
distributed.
OTC
Bulletin Board Considerations
To be
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our
behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. We have engaged in
preliminary discussions with a market maker to file our application on Form 211
with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or Finra, but as of the date
of this prospectus, no filing has been made. We anticipate that after this
registration statement is declared effective, it will take approximately two to
eight weeks for Finra to issue a trading symbol.
The OTC
Bulletin Board is separate and distinct from the Nasdaq stock market. Nasdaq has
no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to Nasdaq-listed securities,
do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Although
the Nasdaq stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high
quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards,
the OTC Bulletin Board has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker
who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is
obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files.
Finra cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a
company. The only requirement for inclusion in the Bulletin Board is that the
issuer be current in its periodic reporting requirements with the
SEC.
Although
we anticipate listing on the OTC Bulletin Board will increase liquidity for our
stock, investors may have greater difficulty in getting orders filled because it
is anticipated that if our stock trades on a public market, it initially will
trade on the OTC Bulletin Board rather than on Nasdaq. Investors’ orders may be
filled at a price much different than expected when an order is placed. Trading
activity in general is not conducted as efficiently and effectively as with
Nasdaq-listed securities.
Investors
must contact a broker/dealer to trade OTC Bulletin Board securities. Investors
do not have direct access to the OTC Bulletin Board service. For OTC Bulletin
Board securities, there only has to be one market maker.
OTC
Bulletin Board transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because
there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the OTC Bulletin Board,
they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the
limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it
takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders
(an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market
price) it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly
during the lapse of time between placing a market order and execution of such
order.
Because
OTC Bulletin Board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be
lower trading volume than for Nasdaq-listed securities.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
The
following description is a summary of the material terms of the provisions of
our certificate of incorporation and by-laws. The certificate of incorporation
and by-laws have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part.
Common
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 95,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per
share. As of the date of this registration statement, there are 4,500,000 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding held by one stockholder.
Each
share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by
proxy, at meetings of shareholders. The vote of the holders of a majority of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is
sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except
as otherwise provided by law.
In the
election of directors, the stockholders are permitted to vote their shares
cumulatively. Accordingly, each shareholder entitled to vote in the election of
directors has the right to vote the number of shares owned by such shareholder
for as many persons as there are directors to be elected.
Holders
of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may
be declared by the board of directors out of our surplus. We have not paid any
dividends since our inception, and we presently anticipate that all earnings, if
any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future disposition of
dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend
upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial
condition, capital requirements and other factors.
Holders
of our common stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights,
conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions. Upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to
share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to
shareholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. Other
than “blank
check”
preferred stock, there are no provisions in our certificate of incorporation or
by-laws that would prevent or delay a change in control.
Preferred
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per
share. As of the date of this prospectus, there are no shares of preferred stock
outstanding.
Preferred
stock may be issued in series with preferences and designations as the board of
directors may from time to time determine (commonly known as “blank check” preferred stock).
The board may, without shareholders approval, issue preferred stock with voting,
dividend, liquidation and conversion rights that could dilute the voting
strength of our common shareholders and may assist management in impeding an
unfriendly takeover or attempted changes in control.
Warrants,
Stock Options and Other Convertible Securities
As of the
date of this prospectus, there are no warrants, stock options or other
convertible securities to purchase our common or preferred stock outstanding. We
may, however, in the future grant warrants, options or convertible securities
and/or establish an incentive compensation plan for our directors, employees and
consultants.
Anti-Takeover
Effect of Delaware Law
We are
subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law,
an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested
stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in
which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a
“business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an
“interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns, or within three years prior did own, 15% or more of the voting
stock of a corporation.

LEGAL
OPINION

of the shares of common stock being registered.
EXPERTS
The
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
incorporated by reference to this prospectus, have been audited by W.T. Uniack
& Co. CPA’s P.C., an independent registered certified public accounting
firm, to the extent and for the periods set forth in its report and are

2008 and 2007, and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31,

No expert

this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities
being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration
or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or
is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct
or indirect, in the registrant, nor was any such person connected with the
registrant as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee,
director, officer, or employee.
DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities 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 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.
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Our
fiscal year end is December 31. We will provide audited financial statements to
our stockholders on an annual basis; the statements will be audited by W.T.
Uniack & Co. CPA’s P.C.
Our
financial statements immediately follow:

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of
Directors
K-Kitz,
Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of K-Kitz, Inc. (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007. 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 audit 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 misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008
and 2007, and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ equity
and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We
conducted our audit 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 audit provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 of the notes to
the accompanying financial statements, the financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in the footnotes, the Company relies on loans and advances from
related parties to meet its current liquidity needs. Those conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
|
K-Kitz,
Inc. (the “Company”) incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 9,
2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 1630 Integrity
Drive East, Columbus, Ohio 43209, and our telephone number is (614)
449-8614. Our web address is www.kkitz.com.
We
design, assemble, market and sell emergency preparedness kits and supplies to
school systems, municipalities, businesses and other customers. We
combine our own direct marketing and sales effort, primarily through our
kkitz.com website, with approximately 11 independent dealers which resell our
products to these target buyers throughout the country.
These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the
normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred net
income of $8,392 and $7,789 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively, and the stockholders’ equity is $35,578 and $37,186 as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company has remained in
business primarily from loans and advances from a significant related party (see
related party footnote). The Company intends on financing its future
development activities from the same sources, until such time that funds
provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital
requirements.
These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
time.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term
investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less, when purchased, to be
cash equivalents. Liquid investments with maturities greater than
three (3) months are recorded as investments.
Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
Accounts
receivable reflect those amounts due to the Company from its customers and
reflect the net realizable value of the balances due. Terms are net
30 days from invoice. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful
accounts which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables as well as
historical collection information. In determining the amount of the
allowance, management is required to make certain estimates and
assumptions. Management has determined that no reserve for
uncollectible accounts is required as of December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007.
Inventory
Inventory
is valued at the lower of cost or market value which approximates the first in
first out method of inventory flow. The balance reflects the net
realizable value of such inventory.

Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue from the sales of our products in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletins 101 and 104. The criteria for recognition is as
follows:
|
·
|
persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists,
|
|
·
|
delivery
has occurred or services have been
rendered,
|
|
·
|
the
seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable,
and
|
|
·
|
collectability
is reasonably assured.
|
A
majority of our revenues are generated through our catalogs, either through the
Internet or telephone, at which time the customer places an order. Shipments of
products are made as soon as the customized orders are placed in kits and
quality checked. Revenues from sales of kits and related products are
recorded when title transfers, which is typically upon shipment. Most
shipments are made by commercial couriers. Invoicing occurs at
shipment, by regular mail.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements
87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize
the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan
(other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS 158 also
requires the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of
the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position (with
limited exceptions). Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 158 to have a
material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115”, (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A
business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value
measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years.

Recent Issued Accounting
Standards (continued)
In July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation requires recognition and
measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not”
approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. Management is still evaluating what effect this will have on the Company’s
financial statements.
In
September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
issued SAB 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This
SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year
misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a
materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires
quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each of the
company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures.
SAB 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of
initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15,
2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of
assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting
adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally,
the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure
of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the
cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The Company does not anticipate
that SAB 108 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.

PROVISION FOR INCOME
TAXES
|
Deferred
income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the
Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured
based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences
are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences
attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
The
provision for income taxes is based on earnings before income taxes for
financial statement purposes an consisted of the following:

EARNINGS PER

Earnings Per Share of Common
Stock
Basic net
loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes
additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable
pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. As of
December 31, 2007 and 2008, there were no common stock equivalents issued and
outstanding. Therefore, the basic and fully diluted earnings per
share are the same.

RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
|
Jendco,
our largest vendor, is owned by the mother of Jennifer H. Jarvis, our President,
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Our principal
executive offices and warehouse are located within a larger facility owned by
Jendco. Our lease at this location runs from month-to-month, and we
currently pay $1,300 in rent per month. We paid total rent of $15,600
in each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 to Jendco.
We sold
products to Jendco totaling $17,546 and $11,974 in the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively, and had an accounts receivable from Jendco of
$13,276 and $6,735 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We
purchased raw materials from Jendco totaling $195,956 and $25,354 in the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and had an accounts payable from
Jendco of $51,480 and $0 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
We
believe that all of such transactions and arrangements were advantageous to us
and were on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from
unaffiliated third parties.

Item
14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The only
statute, charter provision, by-law, contract or other arrangement under which
any controlling person, director or officer of the registrant is insured or
indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his
capacity as such, is as follows:
Article
II of the By-laws of our company, filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the registration
statement.
The
general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or
director from liability, thereby making the company responsible for any expenses
or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action
brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did
not engage in fraud or criminal activity.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act") may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons against
liability under the Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17.
Undertakings.
A.
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To 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) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(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) Intentionally
omitted.
(5) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(i)
Intentionally omitted.
(ii)
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 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.
(6) 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:
(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 its 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.
B. Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly
caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Columbus, State of Ohio,
on March 30, 2009.

Article I - Shareholders'
Meetings
Section 1. Annual
meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of
directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before
it shall be held at the time and place designated by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation. The annual meeting of shareholders for any year
shall be held no later than thirteen (13) months after the last preceding annual
meeting of shareholders. The Secretary shall give personally, by
mail, or electronic mail, not less than ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) days
before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such
meeting, written notice stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting. If
mailed, the notice shall be addressed to the shareholder at his or her address
as it appears on the record of shareholders of the Corporation unless he or she
shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that
notices be mailed to a different address, in which case it shall be mailed to
the address designated in the request. If mailed, such notice shall
be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to
the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the
Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. Any notice of meetings may
be waived by a shareholder by submitting a signed waiver either before or after
the meeting, or by attendance at the meeting.
Section 2. Special
meeting. Special meetings of shareholders, other than those regulated by
statute, may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or the President,
and must be called by the President upon written request of the holders of not
less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such
special meeting. Written notice of such meetings stating the place, the date and
hour of the meeting, the purpose or purposes for which it is called, and the
name of the person by whom or at whose direction the meeting is called shall be
given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date set
for the meeting. The notice shall be given to each shareholder of record in the
same manner as notice of the annual meeting. Notice of special meeting may be
waived by submitting a signed waiver or by attendance at the
meeting.
Section 3. Quorum. The presence, in person or
by proxy, of the holders of one-third (33.33%) of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote thereat shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at all meetings of shareholders. If, however, such
quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders,
the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to a future date at which a
quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting, any business
may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
called. When a specified item of business is required to be voted on
by a class or series, a majority of the shares of such class or series shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that class
or series. After a quorum has been established at a shareholders’
meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of shareholders, so as to reduce the number
of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a
quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any
adjournment thereof.
Section 4. Record
date. The
directors may fix in advance a date not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty
(60) days, prior to the date of any meeting of the shareholders or prior to the
last day on which the consent or dissent of or action by the shareholders may be
effectively expressed for any purpose without a meeting, as the record date for
the determination of shareholders. When a determination of
shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as
provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment
thereof, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.
Section 5. Voting.
A shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting may vote at such meeting in person
or by proxy. Except as otherwise provided by Delaware General Corporation Law or
the Certificate of Incorporation, every shareholder shall be entitled to one (1)
vote for each share standing in his or her name on the record of shareholders.
Except as herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provided, all
corporate action shall be determined by vote of a majority of the votes cast at
a meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote
thereon.
Treasury
shares shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not
be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given
time.
At each
election for directors, every shareholder entitled to vote at such election
shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned
by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected at that time and
for whose election he has a right to vote.
Shares
standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted
by the officer, agent, or proxy designated by the bylaws of the corporate
shareholder; or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person as the
Board of Directors of the corporate shareholder may designate. Proof
of such designation may be made by presentation of a certified copy of the
bylaws or other instrument of the corporate shareholder. In the
absence of any such designation, or in case of conflicting designation by the
corporate shareholder, the chairman of the board, president, any vice president,
secretary and treasurer of the corporate shareholder shall be presumed to
possess, in that order, authority to vote such shares.
Shares
held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him,
either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his
name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him,
either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares
held by him without a transfer of such shares into his
name.
Shares
standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares
held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without
the transfer thereof into his name if authority so to do be contained in an
appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.
A
shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until
the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledge, and thereafter the
pledge or his nominee shall be entitled to vote the shares so
transferred.
On and
after the date on which written notice of redemption of redeemable shares has
been mailed to the holders thereof and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares
has been deposited with a bank or trust company with irrevocable instruction and
authority to pay the redemption price to the holders thereof upon surrender of
certificates therefore, such shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter
and shall not be deemed to be outstanding shares.
Section 6. Proxies.
Every proxy must be dated and signed by the shareholder or by his or her
attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11)
months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided therein. Every
proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except
where an irrevocable proxy is permitted by statute.
The
authority of the holder of a proxy to act shall not be revoked by the
incompetence or death of the shareholder who executed the proxy unless, before
the authority is exercised, written notice of an adjudication of such
incompetence or of such death is received by the corporate officer responsible
for maintaining the list of shareholders.
If a
proxy for the same shares confers authority upon two (2) or more persons and
does not otherwise provide, a majority of them present at the meeting, or if
only one (1) is present then that person present, may exercise all the powers
conferred by the proxy; but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are
equally divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, the
voting of such shares shall be prorated.
Section 7. Action
without a meeting. Pursuant to §228 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, any action which may be authorized or taken at
a meeting of the shareholders may be authorized or taken without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, shall be signed by the shareholders entitled to vote on
such matter having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The writing or
writings shall be filed with or entered upon the records of the
Corporation. Notice shall be given to those shareholders who have not
consented in writing. The notice shall fairly summarize the material
features of the authorized action and, if the action be a merger, consolidated
or sale or exchange of assets for which dissenters rights are provided under
this act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of
shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon
compliance with further provisions of this act regarding the rights of
dissenting shareholders.
Section 8. Notice
of Adjourned Meetings. When a
meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give
any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting
is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and
at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been
transacted on the original date of the meeting. If, however, after
the adjournment, the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the
adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meting shall be given as provided
in this section to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to
vote at such meeting.
Section 9. Voting
Record. Pursuant to §219 and 220 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the officers or agent having charge of the stock transfer books
for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before each
meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at
such meeting or any adjournment thereof, with the address of and the number and
class and series, if any, of shares held by each. The list, for a
period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the
registered office of the Corporation, at the principal place of business of the
Corporation or at the office of the transfer agent or register of the
Corporation and any shareholder shall be entitled to inspect the list at any
time during usual business hours. The list shall also be produced and
kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the
inspection of any shareholder at any time during the meeting.
If the
requirements of this section have not been substantially complied with, the
meeting on demand of any shareholder in person or by proxy shall be adjourned
until the requirements are complied with. If no such demand is made,
failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the
validity of any action taken at such meeting.
Section 10. Voting
Trusts. Any
number of shareholders of this Corporation may create a voting trust for the
purpose of conferring upon a trustee or trustees the right to vote or otherwise
represent their shares. The voting trust agreement must be a written
agreement and must be file with the registered office of the Corporation in
Delaware. Where the counterpart of a voting trust agreement and the
copy of the record of the holders of voting trust certificates has been
deposited with the Corporation as provided by law, such documents shall be
subject to the same right of examination by a shareholder of the Corporation, in
person or by agent or attorney, as are the books and records of the Corporation,
and such counterpart and such copy of such record shall be subject to
examination by any holder or record of voting trust certificates either in
person or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time for any proper
purpose.
Section 11. Shareholders’
Agreements. Two (2) or more shareholders of this Corporation may enter an
agreement providing for the exercise of voting rights in the manner provided in
the agreement or relating to any phase of the affairs of the Corporation as
provided by law. Nothing therein shall impair the right of this
Corporation to treat the shareholders of record as entitled to vote the shares
standing in their names.
Article II -

Section 1. Number
and qualifications. The entire Board of Directors shall consist of one
(1) natural person, all of whom shall be of the age and capacity to make binding

the affairs and business of the Corporation. The directors shall in all cases

present. The directors may adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of
their meetings and the management of the Corporation as they may deem proper,
not inconsistent with law or these Bylaws.
Section 5. Meetings.
The Board of Directors shall meet for the election or appointment of officers

been duly called.
Notice of
a meting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a
waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a
director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and
waiver of any and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the

director states, at the beginning of the meeting, any objection to the
transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or

not be present, a lesser number may adjourn the meeting to some further

days after the occurrence of the vacancy. The director thus chosen shall hold
office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor and the election and
qualification of his or her successor.
Section 13. Removal
of directors. Any director may be removed either with or without cause,
at any time, by a vote of the shareholders holding a majority of the shares then
issued and outstanding and who were entitled to vote for the election of the
director sought to be removed, at any special meeting called for that purpose,
or at the annual meeting. Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, a director
may be removed for cause by vote of a majority of the entire Board.
Section 14. Resignation.
Any director may resign at any time, such resignation to be made in writing and
to take effect immediately without acceptance.
Section 15. Duties
of Directors. A director shall perform his duties as a director,
including his duties as a member of any committee of the board upon which he may
serve, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best
interests of the corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person
in a like position would use under similar circumstances. A director
who performs his duties in compliance with this section shall have no liability
by reason of being or having been a director of the corporation.
Section 16. Director
Conflicts of Interest. No contract or other transaction between this
Corporation and one (1) or more of its directors, or any other corporation,
firm, association or entity in which one (1) or more of the directors of this
Corporation are directors or officers or are financially interested, shall be
either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest or because such
director or directors are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or
transaction or because his or their votes are counted for such purpose,
if:

Interested
directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of
the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes approves or
ratifies such contract or transaction.

adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among
