PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History and Organization
Cygni Investments, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Nevada on November 17, 1999. The Company has conducted no
activities since its inception except in connection with the filing of this
registration statement.
Business
Upon completion of this registration statement, the Company intends to
seek potential business acquisitions or opportunities to enter into in an
effort to commence business operations. The Company does not propose to
restrict its search for a business opportunity to any particular industry or
geographical area and may, therefore, engage in essentially any business in
any industry. The Company has unrestricted discretion in seeking and
participating in a business opportunity.
The Company's Board of Directors, which consists of a single individual,
Carl T. Suter, shall make the initial determination whether to complete any
such venture; however, the Board of Directors intends to submit final approval
of any proposed transaction to the shareholders. In connection with such
approval by the shareholders, the Company intends to provide disclosure
documentation to its shareholders as required under Section 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is
complex and risky. Additionally, as the Company has only limited resources
available to it, it may be difficult to find good opportunities. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any
business opportunity based on management's business judgement.
The Company has not communicated with any other entity with respect to
any potential merger or acquisition transaction, and management has determined
to file this Registration Statement on a voluntary basis before seeking a
business venture. Management believes that being a reporting company may
increase the likelihood that existing business ventures may be willing to
negotiate with the Company. The Company also intends to seek quotation of its
common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board following such a transaction. In order
to have stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a company must be subject to
the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, either by virtue of filing a
registration statement on Form 10 or Form 10-SB, or by filing a registration
statement under the 1933 Act. The Company anticipates that it would
voluntarily file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
in the event its obligation to file such reports is terminated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if the common stock of the Company were
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
In connection with the application for quotation of the Company's common
stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, management intends following an acquisition
of a business venture to seek a broker-dealer to become the initial market
maker for the Company's common stock and to submit the application to the OTC
Bulletin Board. There have been no preliminary discussions or understandings
between the Company, or anyone acting on its behalf, and any market maker
regarding such application or the participation of any such market maker in
the future trading market for the Company's common stock. Management intends
to contact broker-dealers who make markets in Bulletin Board companies until
one agrees to make the application. There is no assurance that the Company
will be successful in locating such a broker-dealer, or that the application,
if submitted, would be approved. The Company does not intend to use outside
consultants to obtain market makers. In addition, the Company does not intend
to use any of its shareholders to obtain market makers.
Management intends to consider a number of factors prior to making
any decision as to whether to participate in any specific business endeavor,
none of which may be determinative or provide any assurance of success. These
may include, but will not be limited to an analysis of the quality of the
entity's management personnel; the anticipated acceptability of any new
products or marketing concepts; the merit of technological changes; its
present financial condition, projected growth potential and available
technical, financial and managerial resources; its working capital, history of
operations and future prospects; the nature of its present and expected
competition; the quality and experience of its management services and the
depth of its management; its potential for further research, development or
exploration; risk factors specifically related to its business operations; its
potential for growth, expansion and profit; the perceived public recognition
or acceptance of its products, services, trademarks and name identification;
and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to properly
or accurately analyze, let alone describe or identify, without referring to
specific objective criteria.
Regardless, the results of operations of any specific entity may not
necessarily be indicative of what may occur in the future, by reason of
changing market strategies, plant or product expansion, changes in product
emphasis, future management personnel and changes in innumerable other
factors. Further, in the case of a new business venture or one that is in a
research and development stage, the risks will be substantial, and there will
be no objective criteria to examine the effectiveness or the abilities of its
management or its business objectives. Also, a firm market for its products or
services may yet need to be established, and with no past track record, the
profitability of any such entity will be unproven and cannot be predicted with
any certainty.
Management will attempt to meet personally with management and key
personnel of the entity sponsoring any business opportunity afforded to the
Company, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or
verification of information provided and gathered, check references of
management and key personnel and conduct other reasonably prudent measures
calculated to ensure a reasonably thorough review of any particular business
opportunity; however, due to time constraints of management, these activities
may be limited.
The Company is unable to predict the time as to when and if it may
actually participate in any specific business endeavor. The Company
anticipates that proposed business ventures will be made available to it
through personal contacts of directors, executive officers and stockholders,
professional advisors, broker dealers in securities, venture capital
personnel, members of the financial community, attorneys and others who may
present unsolicited proposals. In certain cases, the Company may agree to pay
a finder's fee or to otherwise compensate the persons who submit a potential
business endeavor in which the Company eventually participates. Such persons
may include the Company's directors, executive officers, beneficial owners or
their affiliates. In this event, such fees may become a factor in negotiations
regarding a potential acquisition and, accordingly, may present a conflict of
interest for such individuals.
The Company's director and executive officers have not used any
particular consultants, advisors or finders on a regular basis.
Although the Company has not identified any potential acquisition target,
the possibility exists that the Company may acquire or merge with a business
or company in which the Company's executive officers, directors, beneficial
owners or their affiliates may have an ownership interest. Current Company
policy does not prohibit such transactions. Because no such
transaction is currently contemplated, it is impossible to estimate the
potential pecuniary benefits to these persons.
Although it currently has no plans to do so, depending on the nature and
extent of services rendered, the Company may compensate members of management
in the future for services that they may perform for the Company. Because the
Company currently has extremely limited resources, and is unlikely to have any
significant resources until it has completed a merger or acquisition,
management expects that any such compensation would take the form of an
issuance of the Company's stock to these persons; this would have the effect
of further diluting the holdings of the Company's other stockholders.
However, due to the minimal amount of time devoted to management by any person
other than the Company's current director and executive officers, there are no
preliminary agreements or understandings with respect to management
compensation. Although it is not prohibited by statute or its Articles of
Incorporation, the Company has no plans to borrow funds and use the proceeds
to make payment to its management, promoters or affiliates.
Further, substantial fees are often paid in connection with the
completion of these types of acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers, ranging
from a small amount to as much as $250,000. These fees are usually divided
among promoters or founders, after deduction of legal, accounting and other
related expenses, and it is not unusual for a portion of these fees to be paid
to members of management or to principal stockholders as consideration for
their agreement to retire a portion of the shares of common stock owned by
them. However, management does not presently anticipate actively negotiating
or otherwise consenting to the purchase of all or any portion of its common
stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or
acquisition.
In the event that such fees are paid, they may become a factor in negotiations
regarding any potential acquisition by the Company and, accordingly, may
present a conflict of interest for such individuals.
Neither the Company's present director, executive officers or promoters,
nor their affiliates or associates, has had any negotiations with any
representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the
possibility of an acquisition or merger transaction with the Company. Nor are
there any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any
such persons regarding the possibility of any acquisition or merger involving
the Company.
The activities of the Company are subject to several significant risks
which arise primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has no specific
business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the
decision of management, subject to the approval of the Company's
shareholders. The risks faced by the Company are further increased as a
result of its lack of resources and its inability to provide a prospective
business opportunity with significant capital.
The Company has had no employees since its inception and does not intend
to employ anyone in the future, unless its present business operations were to
change. The Company is not paying salaries or other forms of compensation to
its present officer and director for his time and effort. Unless otherwise
agreed to by the Company, the Company does intend to reimburse its officers
and directors for out-of-pocket expenses.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company is a development stage company. Since its inception, the
Company has had no operations. The Company was organized for the purpose of
engaging in any lawful activity permitted under Nevada state law; however, the
Company does not have any significant cash or other material assets, nor does
it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs
and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to take
advantage of any reasonable business proposal presented which management
believes will provide the Company and its stockholders with a viable business
opportunity. The board of directors will make the final approval in
determining whether to complete any acquisition, and, unless required by
applicable law, the articles of incorporation, or the bylaws, or by contract,
stockholders' approval will not be sought.
The original shareholders contributed a total of $10,000 in cash and
services as capital contributions for stock of the Company and Mezzanine
Capital Ltd. loaned $15,330 to the Company for operating expenses. See "Item
7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
The investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation,
drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and
other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and
will require the Company to incur costs for payment of accountants, attorneys,
and others. If a decision is made not to participate in or complete the
acquisition of a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred in a
related investigation will not be recoverable. Further, even if an agreement
is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity by way of
investment or otherwise, the failure to consummate the particular transaction
may result in a the loss to the Company of all related costs incurred.
Currently, management is not able to determine the time or resources that
will be necessary to locate and acquire or merge with a business prospect.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire an interest in
any such prospects, products, or opportunities that may exist or that any
activity of the Company, regardless of the completion of any transaction, will
be profitable. If and when the Company locates a business opportunity,
management of the Company will give consideration to the dollar amount of that
entity's profitable operations and the adequacy of its working capital in
determining the terms and conditions under which the Company would consummate
such an acquisition. Potential business opportunities, no matter which form
they may take, will most likely result in substantial dilution for the
Company's shareholders due to the likely issuance of stock to acquire such an
opportunity.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Since inception the Company's administrative offices, consisting of
approximately 1,500 square feet of office space, have been located at 1516
Brookhollow Drive, Suite D, Santa Ana, California, which are the offices of
Mezzanine Associates LLC, a company affiliated with Eric Chess Bronk, one of
the Company's shareholders. The office space is furnished at no cost to the
Company by Mr. Bronk and Mezzanine Associates LLC.

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, this column reflects amounts as to which
the beneficial owner has sole voting power and sole investment power.
(2) Of the shares beneficially owned by Mr. Bronk, 49,500 are owned
directly by Mezzanine Capital Ltd, a company of which Mr. Bronk is the
president, and 20,000 are owned directly by Suter GC Trust, a trust for which
Mr. Bronk is the trustee. While Mr. Bronk disclaims any interest in these
shares, he is deemed to share beneficial ownership of such shares with these
entities.
The Company is seeking potential business acquisitions or opportunities.
(See "Item 1. Description of Business.") It is likely that such a
transaction would result in a change of control of the Company, by virtue of
issuing a controlling number of shares in the transaction, change of
management, or otherwise.
ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2000, the name, age, and
position of the executive officers and director of the Company and the
term of office of such director:
Name Age Position(s) Director Since
Carl T. Suter 65 Director, President & November 1999
Treasurer
Lynn Carlson 45 Vice President & --
Secretary
Directors are elected for a term of one year and until their successors
are elected and qualified. Annual meetings of the stockholders, for the
selection of directors to succeed those whose terms expire, are to be held at
such time each year as designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors has not selected a date for the next annual meeting of
shareholders. Officers of the Company are elected by the Board of Directors,
which is required to consider that subject at its first meeting after every
annual meeting of stockholders. Each officer holds his office until his
successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or
removal.
Set forth below is certain biographical information regarding the
Company's current executive officer and director:
CARL T. SUTER has been President and Chairman of Continental American
Resources, Inc., a Nevada based investment banking firm, since 1980. Over the
past twenty years Mr. Suter has provided management assistance and arranged
financing for companies in a variety of industries, including solar energy,
oil and gas, mining, direct marketing, mail order, consumer products,
telecommunications, Internet commerce, and Internet telephony. He has
maintained a business relationship and stock ownership interest in a number of
these companies. Mr. Suter received a Bachelor of Science degree in
Industrial Engineering from Arizona State University in 1961.
LYNN CARLSON has worked for Mezzanine Associates LLC, an investor and
corporate relations firm, since November 1998 as an administrative assistant
and account executive. From June 1996 to November 1998, Ms. Carlson worked as
the assistant to the president for DGWB Advertising. From May 1991 to May
1996, she was the office manager for Family Solutions, a non-profit group
home agency.
Management devotes only nominal time to the activities of the Company.
If the Company is able to locate a suitable new business venture, it is
anticipated that Mr. Bronk will devote substantially all of his time to
completing the acquisition.
ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
There has been no compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to any of
the executive officers of the Company since its inception. However, Mr.
Suter, an executive officer and director of the Company, received 79,500
shares of restricted stock of the Company for services rendered in connection
with the organization of the Company.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the organization of the Company, Carl T. Suter, an
executive officer and director of the Company, received 79,500 shares for
services rendered by Mr. Suter to the Company.
On February 4, 2000 Mezzanine Capital Ltd., a corporation of which Mr.
Suter, an executive officer and director of the company, is a director,
loaned $15,330 to the Company. The promissory note bears 10% interest per
annum and is due on or before February 4, 2001.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). As of June 30, 2000, the Company had
outstanding 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. All Common Shares are equal to
each other with respect to voting, and dividend rights, and, are equal to each
other with respect to liquidation rights. Special meetings of the
shareholders may be called by the Chairman, the Board of Directors, President,
the chief executive officer, or the holders of not less than one-tenth of all
the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Holders of shares of Common Stock
are entitled to one vote at any meeting of the shareholders for each share of
Common Stock they own as of the record date fixed by the Board of Directors.
At any meeting of shareholders, a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a
quorum. A vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock represented at a
meeting will govern, even if this is substantially less than a majority of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Holders of shares are entitled to receive
such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available therefor, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate
pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution to
shareholders. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription
rights or privileges with respect to any shares. Reference is made to the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as well as to the
applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of
the rights and liabilities of holders of shares. The shares of the Company do
not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than
fifty percent of the shares of Common Stock voting for election of directors
may elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In such event, the
holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than fifty percent will not
be able to elect directors.
PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANTS'S
COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
There is no established trading market for the common stock of the
Company.
None of the common shares are subject to outstanding options or
warrants. Of the 1,000,000 outstanding common shares, all are subject to Rule
144 under the Securities Act and would not be available for resale pursuant to
such rule until at least June 2001. The Company has granted piggy-back
registration rights to register 49,500 shares issued to counsel for the
Company.
Since its inception, the Company has not paid any dividends on its common
stock and the Company does not anticipate that it will pay dividends in the
foreseeable future.
At June 30, 2000, the Company had 20 shareholders of record. The Company
has appointed Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East 4800 South, Suite
100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, to act as its transfer agent.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No legal proceedings are reportable pursuant to this item.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
No change in accountant is reportable pursuant to this item.
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In June 2000 the Company issued 751,500 shares of its common stock at a
cash offering price of $0.01 per share to sixteen accredited investors. Also
in June 2000, the Company issued 199,000 shares for services rendered in
connection with the organization of the Company to the following accredited
investors: 79,500 shares to Carl T. Suter, the sole executive officer and
director of the Company; 99,500 shares to Eric Bronk; and 20,000 shares to
David Butler. The shares issued for services were also valued at $0.01 per
share. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by
the provisions of Section 4(2) thereof, and Rule 506 promulgated pursuant
thereto, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering, the
recipient of the securities having delivered appropriate investment
representations to the Company with respect thereto and having consented to
the imposition of restrictive legends upon the certificates evidencing such
securities. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in connection
with such issuance.
In June 2000, the Company issued 49,500 shares of its common stock to
Ronald N. Vance, Attorney at Law, for legal services provided to the Company
in connection with the organization of the Company. Such shares were valued
at $495. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by
the provisions of Rule 701 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in connection
with such issuance.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Nevada law expressly authorizes a Nevada corporation to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees, and agents against liabilities arising out of
such persons' conduct as directors, officers, employees, or agents if they
acted in good faith, in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the company, and, in the case of criminal
proceedings, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. Generally, indemnification for such persons is mandatory if such
person was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such
proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the
proceeding. In addition, as provided in the articles of incorporation,
bylaws, or an agreement, the corporation may pay for or reimburse the
reasonable expenses incurred by such a person who is a party to a proceeding
in advance of final disposition if such person furnishes to the corporation an
undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he did
not meet the requirements. In order to provide indemnification, unless
ordered by a court, the corporation must determine that the person meets the
requirements for indemnification. Such determination must be made by a
majority of disinterested directors; by independent legal counsel; or by a
majority of the shareholders.
The Eighth Article of the Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the
bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors,
officers, agents and other persons to the full extent permitted by the laws of
the State of Nevada. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers, controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2000
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Business - Cygni Investments, Inc. (the "Registrant" or the
"Company") was incorporated in Nevada on November 17, 1999, as Cygni
Investments, Inc. for the purpose of seeking and consummating a merger or
acquisition with a business entity organized as a private corporation,
partnership, or sole proprietorship.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share The computation of earnings per share of common
stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the
date of the financial statements.
NOTE 2 -INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 109 "Accounting for
Income taxes" in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and
reporting for income tax purposes. This statement recognizes (a) the amount
of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (b) deferred tax
liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of
accounting transactions for tax and financial reporting purposes. There were
no temporary differences for the current year accordingly, no deferred tax
liabilities have been recognized.
No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to net operating loss
carryforward totaling approximately $0 that will be offset against future
taxable income. The NOL carryforward begins to expire in the year 2020. No
tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and the valuation account at December 31, 1999 is
as follows:
Deferred tax asset:
NOL carryforward $ -
Valuation allowance $ -
Total $ -
NOTE 3 - USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In these financial
statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on
management's estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
