Due to unanticipated delays in the compilation and/or completion by the registrant of the financial statements, notes and other information required to be included in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the registrant is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).
x Yes o No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
x Yes o No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The earnings statements to be included in the registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013 will reflect changes from the corresponding period for its last fiscal year, which changes cannot yet be quantified, and some of which may be significant. The changes arise from the fact that the registrant acquired an operating business on December 12, 2012, and, prior to such acquisition, the registrant did not have any operations.
