it could have 10 reverse mergers behind it, behind is the key word. it's the business plan that sells the merger. the financials should already be current thru 2010, the taxes has to be done, if he was selling any a 1099 would have to be submitted with his taxes. cm and larocco can get this current via un audited financials at the pink sheet level. higher tiers require audited financials and that comes with a hefty price tag. if i was selling this to some private company to go public, all i would do is hand over the unaudited statements and any 1099 forms from my personal taxes. if the new company wanted to take it to a higher tier the starting date of that merger would be when i started using a bonified cpa firm and from that day forward would be audited financials.
