ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Interpretation: As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, unless otherwise
stated, all references to the "Winecom," "Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer
to Winecom, Inc. On August 15, 2012, our Board of Directors and the holders of a
majority of our outstanding shares approved, among other amendments, a split of
our current issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of 20 new common
shares for 1 old common share. We filed a Preliminary and a Definitive
Information statement in respect of the amendment on August 17 and August 28,
2012, respectively, in accordance with Rule 14c and the provisions of Chapter 78
of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Although, as at the date of this prospectus, the
amendments remains subject to approval by the Nevada Secretary of State and
FINRA, all descriptions of our common stock contained in this report contemplate
completion of the 20 new common shares for 1 old common share split of our
common stock.
On September 26, 2012, we entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement
(the "Exchange Agreement") dated September 26, 2012 among Winecom, Green
Hygienics, Inc. ("Green Hygienics"), a Florida corporation, and Bruce Harmon,
the sole shareholder of Green Hygienics. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement we
received 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Green Hygienics in
exchange for the issuance to Mr. Harmon of 49,500,000 shares of our common stock
and the concurrent cancellation of 79,500,000 shares of our common stock held by
Mordechai David and Shamir Benita, our former directors and officers. The
unregistered common shares issued to Mr. Harmon were issued in reliance on the
exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933 and upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. Upon
closing of the Exchange Agreement, we had 70,000,000 common shares issued and
outstanding. There are no outstanding options, warrants, subscriptions, phantom
shares, conversion rights, or other rights, agreements, or commitments
obligating us to issue any additional shares of our common stock.
As a result of the transaction, Green Hygienics became our wholly-owned
subsidiary and we have adopted the business of Green Hygienics. Green Hygienics
is a Florida corporation formed on August 1, 2012. Green Hygienics is in the
business of importing and distributing bamboo-based hygienic products in North
America through a licensing agreement with American Hygienics Corporation
("AHC"), a privately-owned corporation in the People's Republic of China. Green
Hygienics entered into a contract on August 1, 2012 to license AHC's proprietary
bamboo-based products which the Company will market to retail establishments
worldwide with an emphasis in the United States and Canada.
Because we have adopted the business of Green Hygienics, all references in this
report to "Winecom," the "Company,, "we,, "us," "our" and similar terms refer
collectively to Winecom and Green Hygienics. Additionally, the consolidated
financial statements in this report include the accounts of Winecom and Green
Hygienics, for which we are the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
FORM 10 INFORMATION DISCLOSURE
As disclosed in this report, on September 26, 2012, we acquired Green Hygienics,
a Florida corporation, in the business of importing and distributing
bamboo-based hygienic products. Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that if the
registrant was a shell company, as we were immediately before the acquisition of
assets under Item 2.01, then the registrant must disclose the information that
would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration
of securities on Form 10.
Accordingly, we are providing below the information that would be included in a
Form 10 if we were to file a Form 10. Please note that the information provided
below relates to the combined enterprises after the acquisition of Green
Hygienics except that information relating to periods prior to the date of the
acquisition of Green Hygienics only relate to Winecom, Inc., unless otherwise
specifically indicated.
3
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Share Exchange among our Company, Green Hygienics, and Bruce Harmon, the
sole shareholder of Green Hygienics, is being accounted for as a "reverse
merger," since the Mr. Harmon owns a majority of the outstanding shares of the
our common stock immediately following the closing of the Exchange Agreement.
Green Hygienics is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger.
Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that
will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will
be those of Green Hygienics and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of
Green Hygienics, and the financial statements after completion of the Exchange
Agreement will include the assets and liabilities of Winecom and Green
Hygienics, historical operations of Green Hygienics, and operations of our
company from the closing date of the Share Exchange.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. To the
extent that any statements made in this report contain information that is not
historical, these statements are essentially forward-looking. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expects," "plans,"
"may," "anticipates," "believes," "should," "intends," "estimates," and other
words of similar meaning. These statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without
limitation, marketability of our products; legal and regulatory risks associated
with the share exchange our ability to raise additional capital to finance our
activities; the effectiveness, profitability and; the future trading of our
common stock; our ability to operate as a public company; our ability to protect
our proprietary information; general economic and business conditions; the
volatility of our operating results and financial condition; our ability to
attract or retain qualified senior management personnel and research and
development staff; and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or otherwise.
Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this report is
included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is
generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for

do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 1, 2008. We are a
development stage company and have not generated any revenues to date. From our
inception on July 1, 2008 to October 2008, we focused primarily on
organizational matters. Due to the continuing financial crisis in 2008, we
suspended our operations in October 2008, resuming them in September 2009. From
September 2009 through August 2012, we were engaged in the development and
operation of our website, www.winecom.ning.com, a social networking website that
caters to wine lovers. Though www.winecom.ning.com is currently accessible by
the public, we have not completed its development or publicly launched the
website. To date, we have not secured sufficient financing to complete or
publicly launch our website. As described in item 5.01, and elsewhere in this
report, we have experienced a change of control resulting from our acquisition
of Green Hygienics pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated September 26,
2012. Green Hygienics is a Florida corporation seeking to import, sell and
distribute bamboo-based hygienic products. Consequently, we will no longer
pursue our business plan related to www.winecom.ning.com and will pursue the
business of Green Hygienics.
We maintain our executive offices at 1222 SE 47th Street, Cape Coral, Florida
33904. Our telephone number is (239) 829-4372.

GREEN HYGIENICS, INC.
Green Hygienics is a Florida corporation in the importation, sale, and
distribution of hygienic and household products made of bamboo-based paper. On
August 1, 2012, Green Hygienics entered into a Licensing Agreement with AHC, a
corporation domiciled in the People's Republic of China, pursuant to we acquired
the exclusive right for a period of 5 years to import and distribute AHC's
proprietary bamboo pulp-based hygiene products. AHC is the world's largest
manufacturer of bamboo-based wet wipes, is internationally certified (ISO
9001:2008, BRC-CP, EPA, Nordic swan, cGMP and GMP) and a member of the world
Private Label Manufacturers Association. Exporting to over 45 countries, AHC
supplies a number of Multi-National brands and retailers on all continents
including customers such as 3M, Carrefour, Tesco, Walmart, and Goodyear. The
Licensing Agreement contemplates the distribution of generic, private label, and
Green Hygienics branded products, described below. Subject to the below
described sales targets being met, the exclusive distribution license will be
renewable for an additional period of 5 years.
BAMBOO PULP-BASED HYGIENE AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS
The exclusive distribution rights granted to us pursuant to the Licensing
Agreement are for the following bamboo pulp based products:
* Biodegradable diapers of 100% bamboo pulp;
* Chlorine Free bamboo pulp based plates and cups;
* Produce platters and absorbents made from bamboo pulp;
* Nursing Pads made from bamboo pulp;
* Dryer sheet pads made from bamboo viscous fiber;
* Under arm absorbing pads made from bamboo pulp;
* Various stationary made from 100% tree free bamboo pulp;
* Female Sanitary Pads made from bamboo pulp; and
* Panty Liners made from bamboo pulp.
Our agreement with AHC also gives us the non-exclusive North American
distribution rights (for retail and institutional distribution only) for AHC
products, such as toilet paper and facial tissues.
SALES TARGETS
In order to renew our Licensing Agreement with AHC for an additional 5 year
term, we must achieve the following sales targets during the initial 5 year
term:
* $150,000 in sales of absorbent pad based products, including diapers,
panty liners and sanitary pads during the first year followed by a 25%
increase during each subsequent year;
* $100,000 in sales of plates and cups, produce platters, dryer sheets,
and stationary during the first year followed by a 25% increase during
each subsequent year; and
* $150,000 in sales of miscellaneous branded products, followed by a 25%
increase during each subsequent year. Branded products include
products marketed under the Green Hygienics brand and related marks,
including "Premium Formulation," Clearly Herbal and Green & Soft. .
COMPETITION
We are a company engaged in the sale and distribution of hygienic and household
bamboo-based paper products. Currently, our target market is limited to North
America, including Canada, the United States, and Mexico. We intend to compete
with other manufacturers and distributors of hygienic and household paper
products, including products made of traditional wood-pulp based paper,
bamboo-pulp based paper, or other recycled or novel paper materials. We will
also compete with traditional manufactures of non-paper based diapers, female
sanitary pads, disposable plates and cups, and produce platters.
5
Many of the companies with whom we intend to compete have greater financial
resources, production capabilities, and distribution networks than we do. These
competitors may be able to benefit from greater economies of scale than our
Company. In addition, they may be able to afford more expertise in design and
manufacturing of their products. This competition could result in competitors
having products of greater quality and interest to prospective customers and
investors. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance
further development and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our
business.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We assert common law copyright in the contents of our website,
greenhygienics.com and common law trademark rights in our business name and
related product labels, including "Clearly Herbal" and "Green & Soft". We have
not registered for the protection of any copyright, trademark, patent or design,
although we may do so in the future as we deem necessary to protect our
business. We have registered for protection of our domain name,
www.greenhygienics.com. Through our Licensing Agreement dated August 1, 2012
with AHC, we hold the exclusive North American distribution rights to certain
proprietary technology of American Hygienics for the manufacture of bamboo
pulp-based paper products, described elsewhere in this report. Our exclusive
rights are enforceable for a minimum term of 5 years from August 1, 2012, and
are subject to an additional 5 year renewal provided we meet certain sales
quotas during the initial terms. The terms of our agreement with Green Hygienics
are discussed in the section of this report entitled "Description of Business."
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We did not incur any research and development expenses since our inception on
August 1, 2012 (inception). We do anticipate that we will spend any significant
resources on research and development during the next 12 months.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
We intend to furnish our shareholders annual reports containing financial
statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and to
make available quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for
each of the first three quarters of each year. We file Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in order to meet our timely and continuous
disclosure requirements. We may also file additional documents with the
Commission if they become necessary in the course of our company's operations.
The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the
SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. The
public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by
calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that
contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information
regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that
site is www.sec.gov.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
As distributors and importers of hygienic and household paper products,
including products used for food packaging and storage, we are regulated by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We believe that the products we intend to
distribute are in compliance, in all material respects, with the laws and
regulations administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
We believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance in all material
respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in the United
States. There are no current orders or directions relating to our company with
respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.
6
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
We do not believe that we are or will become subject to any environmental laws
or regulations of the United States. While our intended products and business
activities do not currently violate any laws, any regulatory changes that impose
additional restrictions or requirements on us or on our products or potential
customers could adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs or
decreasing demand for our products or services, which could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations.
EMPLOYEES
Currently, we do not have any employees. Additionally, we have not entered into
any consulting or employment agreements with any director of our Company or with
our chief executive officer, secretary, chief financial officer and treasurer ,
Bruce Harmon. Our directors, executive officer and certain contracted
individuals play an important role in our business. We do not expect any
material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do
and will intend to outsource contract employment as needed until such time as we
require and our able to sustain the employment of dedicated employees.
SUBSIDIARIES
After the transaction described within this filing, we have one wholly-owned
subsidiary, Green Hygienics.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the
other information included in this report before making an investment decision
with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into
this offering that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that
are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If
any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or
results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our
common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OVERALL BUSINESS OPERATIONS
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND EXPECT TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT LOSSES.
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have only
nominal assets, and have not generated any revenues since our inception. Given
the early stage of our business development we are unable to determine whether
our revenues will be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable
future, and we expect to incur significant losses in establishing our
operations. Our profitability will require the successful exploitation of our
distribution rights. We may not be able to successfully exploit our distribution
rights or ever become profitable.
THERE IS DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN DUE TO OUR LACK
OF OPERATIONS AND INSUFFICIENT CASH RESOURCES YO MEET OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES,
ALL OF WHICH MEANS THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit
opinion issued in connection with the financial statements dated August 1, with
respect to their doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 1 to our financial statements for August 1, 2012, discussed in
the footnotes to the financial statements, we have not generated revenue and
have not established operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SECURE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO MEET OUR FUTURE CAPITAL
NEEDS.
We anticipate needing significant capital to conduct establish our operations,
distribution network and customer base. We may use capital more rapidly than
anticipated and incur higher operating expenses than expected, and will be
7
depend on external financing to satisfy our operating and capital needs. Any
sustained weakness in the general economic conditions and/or financial markets
in the United States or globally could adversely affect our ability to raise
capital on favorable terms or at all. We may also rely in the future, on access
to financial markets as a source of liquidity to satisfy working capital
requirements and for general corporate purposes. We may be unable to secure debt
or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we
need such funding. If we do raise funds by issuing additional equity or
convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders
would be reduced, and the securities that we issue may have rights, preferences
or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be
issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result
in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds by
issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, which could place limitations
on our operations including our ability to declare and pay dividends. Our
inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult
for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a negative impact on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE HARMED IF WE FAIL TO MANAGE OUR
GROWTH OR CHANGE.
Our business may experience periods of rapid change and/or growth that could
place significant demands on our personnel and financial resources. To manage
possible growth and change, we must locate and retain skilled sales people,
marketers, management, and other personnel, and solicit and obtain adequate
funds in a timely manner. If we fail to effectively manage our human or
financial resources during the growth of our business, our business may fail
which would cause you to lose your investment.
WE MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE PRODUCT SUPPLY NECESSARY TO SUPPORT OUR BUSINESS,
WHICH COULD CAUSE DELAYS OR SUSPENSION OF OUR OPERATIONS.
Competitive demands for supply of products could result in the disruption of
planned sales and distribution activities. Because we will rely on third party
manufacturers to produce the products that we intend to sell, we may experience
difficulty in securing a reliable supply of quality products at a competitive
price. Although we believe that we have secured a suitable supplier of quality
products at a competitive price, if our product supply is compromised for any
reason, we may have to suspend some or all of our operations, which could
significantly harm our business.
WE DEPEND ON THE PRODUCTS OF AMERICAN HYGIENICS CORPORATION.
The Company has a Licensing Agreement with AHC and the stability of AHC, along
with its ability to continue to supply its products to the Company at a price
that will afford the Company to meet its goals and objectives is imperative to
the stability and viability of the Company.
ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT AND
CONDUCT OUR SALES AND MARKETING EFFORTS.
Our future success will depend largely upon the continued services of our Board
members, executive officers, sales personnel, and other key personnel. Our
success will also depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain
qualified personnel with sales, marketing and distribution experience. Key
personnel represent a significant asset for us, and the competition for
qualified personnel is intense in the paper product industry.
We may have particular difficulty attracting and retaining key personnel in
regards to the sales and marketing aspect of the Company. We do not have
key-person life insurance coverage on any of our personnel. The loss of one or
more of our key people or our inability to attract, retain and motivate other
qualified personnel could negatively impact our ability to develop or to sustain
our operations.
WE ARE EXPOSED TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ONGOING FINANCIAL CRISIS AND
WEAKENING GLOBAL ECONOMY, WHICH INCREASE THE UNCERTAINTY OF CONSUMERS PURCHASING
PRODUCTS.
8
The recent severe tightening of the credit markets, turmoil in the financial
markets, and weakening global economy are contributing to a decrease in consumer
confidence. If these economic conditions are prolonged or deteriorate further,
the market for our products will decrease accordingly.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDUSTRY
WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION IN THE HYGIENIC AND HOUSEHOLD PAPER PRODUCT
INDUSTRY.
We intend to compete with other manufacturers and distributors of hygienic and
household paper products, including products made of traditional wood-pulp based
paper, bamboo-pulp based paper, or other recycled or novel paper materials. We
will also compete with traditional manufactures of non-paper based diapers,
female sanitary pads, disposable plates and cups, and produce platters. Many of
the companies with whom we intend to compete have greater financial resources,
production capabilities, and distribution capacity than we do. These competitors
may be able to benefit from greater economies of scale than our Company. In
addition, they may be able to afford more expertise in design and manufacturing
of their products. This competition could result in competitors having products
of greater quality and interest to prospective customers and investors, which
could adversely impact on our ability to develop or sustain our operations.
EXISTING REGULATIONS, AND CHANGES TO SUCH REGULATIONS, MAY PRESENT TECHNICAL,
REGULATORY AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS TO THE USE OF OUR PRODUCTS, WHICH MAY
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS.
Our products are subject to various regulatory and economic barriers which could
have an adverse effect on the Company.
OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCTS OF OUR SUPPLIER, AMERICAN HYGIENICS
CORPORATION.
AHC is considered to be a stable company with many years of experience in the
industry. Its stability, or lack thereof, could create various issues related to
our products. Other suppliers are viable alternatives but, without the special
products of AHC, the product line that the Company offers could be adversely
affected.
OUR COMPANY IS PROJECTED TO EXPERIENCE RAPID GROWTH IN OPERATIONS, WHICH WILL
PLACE SIGNIFICANT DEMANDS ON ITS MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL
INFRASTRUCTURE.
If the Company does not effectively manage its growth, the quality of its
products could suffer, which could negatively affect the Company's brand and
operating results. To effectively manage this growth, the Company will need to
continue to improve its operational, financial and management controls and its
reporting systems and procedures. Failure to implement these improvements could
hurt the Company's ability to manage its growth and financial position.
THE COMPANY TREATS ITS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AS CONFIDENTIAL AND RELIES ON
INTERNAL NONDISCLOSURE SAFEGUARDS AND ON LAWS PROTECTING TRADE SECRETS, ALL TO
PROTECT ITS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
There can be no assurance that these measures will adequately protect the
confidentiality of the Company's proprietary information or that others will not
independently develop products or technology that are equivalent or superior to
those of the Company. The Company's patents, trademarks, trade secrets,
copyrights and/or other intellectual property rights are important assets to the
Company. Various events outside of the Company's control pose a threat to its
intellectual property rights as well as to the Company's products and services.
Although the Company seeks to obtain patent protection for its systems, it is
possible that the Company may not be able to protect some of these innovations.
There is always the possibility, despite the Company's efforts, that the scope
of the protection gained will be insufficient or that an issued patent may be
deemed invalid or unenforceable.
9
RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK CAN BECOME VOLATILE, LEADING TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF ITS VALUE BEING DEPRESSED AT A TIME WHEN YOU MAY WANT TO SELL
YOUR HOLDINGS.
The market price of our common stock can become volatile. Numerous factors, many
of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock
to fluctuate significantly. These factors include: our earnings releases, actual
or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or
our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors;
changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might
cover our stock; speculation about our business in the press or the investment
community; significant developments relating to our relationships with our
customers or suppliers; stock market price and volume fluctuations of other
publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry;
customer demand for our products; investor perceptions of our industry in
general and our Company in particular; the operating and stock performance of
comparable companies; general economic conditions and trends; announcements by
us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic
partnerships or divestitures; changes in accounting standards, policies,
guidance, interpretation or principles; loss of external funding sources; sales
of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant
stockholders; and additions or departures of key personnel. Securities class
action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of
volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted
against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our
management's attention and resources.
Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price
and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price
of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you want
to sell your interest in us. We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our
common stock for the foreseeable future.
WE HAVE NEVER DECLARED OR PAID ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation and expansion of
our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on
shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future.
WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AND YOU MAY HAVE
DIFFICULTY SELLING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called "penny stocks"
to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If
our common stock becomes a "penny stock," we may become subject to Rule 15g-9
under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to
persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally,
individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by
the Penny Stock Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written
consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the
ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of
purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require
delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule
prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also
required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer
and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.
Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price
information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stock.
10
There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from
the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from
the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the
Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from
participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a
restriction would be in the public interest.
WE ARE NOT LIKELY TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion
of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in
the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet
other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from
our operating subsidiaries. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time
to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions
to us, including restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S.
dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS ILLIQUID AND SUBJECT TO PRICE VOLATILITY UNRELATED TO OUR
OPERATIONS.
If a market for our common stock does develop, its market price could fluctuate
substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our
ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other
companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in
general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other
developments affecting us or our competitors. In addition, the stock market
itself is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has
had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many
companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have
the same effect on our common stock.
A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND MAY DEPRESS OUR
STOCK PRICE.
We may be required, under terms of future financing arrangements, to offer a
large number of common shares to the public, or to register for sale by future
private investors a large number of shares sold in private sales to them.
Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or a perception that such sales
could occur, and the existence of options or warrants to purchase shares of
common stock at prices that may be below the then-current market price of our
common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and
could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity
securities, either of which would decrease the value of any earlier investment
in our common stock.
IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL, WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY OR TO PREVENT FRAUD.
ANY INABILITY TO REPORT AND FILE OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY AND TIMELY
COULD HARM OUR REPUTATION AND ADVERSELY IMPACT THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement
the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and
other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal
controls and reporting procedures. Effective internal control is necessary for
us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide
reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our
business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed,
and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. In addition, if we
are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant
certifications required by such act, which may preclude us from keeping our
filings with the SEC current and may adversely affect any market for, and the
liquidity of, our common stock.
PUBLIC COMPANY COMPLIANCE MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO ATTRACT AND
RETAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
11
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have
required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a
public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our
compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly.
As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may
make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer
liability insurance in the future and we may be required to accept reduced
policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the
same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to
attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as
executive officers.
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including the following:
* changes in our industry;
* competitive pricing pressures;
* Our ability to obtain working capital financing;
* additions or departures of key personnel;
* limited "public float" in the hands of a small number of persons whose
sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing
pressure on the market price for our common stock;
* sales of our common stock;
* our ability to execute our business plan;
* operating results that fall below expectations;
* loss of any strategic relationship;
* regulatory developments;
* economic and other external factors; and
* period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also
materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
OFFERS OR AVAILABILITY FOR SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON
STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public
market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144,
or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create
a circumstance commonly referred to as an "overhang" and in anticipation of
which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an
overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make
more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of
equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we
deem reasonable or appropriate.
BRUCE HARMON, OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND
DIRECTORS, BENEFICIALLY OWNS A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON
STOCK, WHICH ENABLES HIM TO INFLUENCE MANY SIGNIFICANT CORPORATE ACTIONS AND IN
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PREVENT A CHANGE IN CONTROL THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE
BENEFICIAL TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS.
Bruce Harmon beneficially owns approximately 70.71% of our outstanding shares of
common stock. As such, he has a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote
of the stockholders, including the election of our directors and most of our
corporate actions. This control could delay, defer, or prevent others from
initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if
these actions would benefit our stockholders and us. This control could
12
adversely affect the voting and other rights of our other stockholders and could
depress the market price of our common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We maintain our executive offices at 1222 SE 47th Street, Cape Coral, Florida
33904. Our telephone number is (239) 829-4372. The office totals approximately
100 square feet in area and is leased at a cost of approximately $100 per month
on a month-to-month term. The space is suitable for our current administrative
needs, although we anticipate that we will require additional space in order to
support the planned expansion of our workforce in sales, marketing and
administration.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report. The
discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any
conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily continue into the
future. All references to currency in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section are to U.S. dollars,
unless otherwise noted.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and other written reports made
from time to time by us that are not historical facts constitute so-called
"forward-looking statements," all of which are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words
such as "expects," "plans," "will," "forecasts," "projects," "intends,"
"estimates," and other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements are
likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and
development programs, among other things. One must carefully consider any such
statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to
differ from our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include
but are not limited to those outlined in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and
other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC or otherwise.
These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other
risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No
forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary
materially.
Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Report is
included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is
generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for
purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed or
included data from all sources, and cannot assure investors of the accuracy or
completeness of the data included in this Report. Forecasts and other
forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same
qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of
future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services. We
do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. As a
result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AS AT AUGUST 1, 2012
(DATE OF INCEPTION)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AS AT AUGUST 1, 2012 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
As at August 1, 2012 (date of inception) we had not started our proposed
business operations and had incurred no losses. To the extent that we are able,
subject to our ability to secure additional financing, and if market conditions
allow, we expect to begin operations by October 2012.
13
As at August 1, 2012 (date of inception), we had sold 50,000 shares of common
stock to our sole officer for $50.
We had not earned any revenues as at August 1, 2012 (date of inception) and have
not subsequently earned any revenues.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS AT AUGUST 1, 2012 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
AUGUST 1, 2012 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
We had incurred no losses or expenses as at August 1, 2012 (date of inception),
and had generated no revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AS AT AUGUST 1, 2012 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
As at August 1, 2012 (date of inception), we had assets of $50 consisting of
cash, no liabilities, working capital of $50, and stockholder's equity of $50.
..CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
We had not used or generated any cash flow from operating activities as at
August 1, 2012 (date of inception).
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
As at August 1, 2012 our operations had been nominal and funded primarily from
advances from our sole officer. Going forward, we intend to finance our business
with advances from our officers and directors, or by the issuance of equity and
debt instruments. As at August 1, 2012, we had used no cash in financing
activities and generated $50 net cash from financing activities.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a
combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our
working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of
our business.
We estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months (beginning August 2012)
will be approximately $330,000 as described in the table below. These estimates
may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business
activities and our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.
Estimated Estimated

Legal and accounting fees 12 months $ 50,000

TOTAL $330,000
========
14
We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. We do have
purchase order financing and accounts receivable factoring in place. Generally,
we intend to finance operations through the proceeds of the private placement of
equity and debt instruments, although, as of the date of this report, we have no
definitive arrangements in place to secure such financing. We will need to raise
additional capital to meet our short-term operating requirements and must
generate revenues to meet our long-term operating requirements. Additional
issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to
our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may
not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not
available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take
advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could
significantly and materially restrict our business operations. We currently do
not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we
anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from
the sale of our common stock. We will seek to obtain short-term loans from our
directors, although no future arrangement for additional loans has been made. We
do not have any agreements with our directors concerning these loans. We do not
have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our
stockholders.
INFLATION
The effect of inflation on our revenues and operating results has not been
significant.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the
estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A
complete listing of these policies is included in Note 1 of the notes to our
financial statements dated August 1, 2012. We have identified below the
accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the
application of significant judgment by management.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial
instruments, including cash and loans the carrying amounts approximate fair
value due to their short maturities.
We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and
liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of
operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value,
provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures.
This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather
applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to
share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the
market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value
of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the
service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description
of those three levels:
15
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or
indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those
that a market participant would use.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND COST OF GOODS SOLD
The Company recognizes revenue on our products in accordance with ASC 605-10,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Under these guidelines, revenue
is recognized on sales transactions when all of the following exist: persuasive
evidence of an arrangement did exist, delivery of product has occurred, the
sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is
reasonably assured. The Company's sales are either FOB shipping point or FOB
destination, dependent on the customer. Revenues are therefore recognized at
point of ownership transfer, accordingly. The Company has several revenue
streams as follows:
* Sale of merchandise to a retail establishment.
* Sale of merchandise to a wholesaler.
* Licensing revenues which are recognized when reports are received from
licensees.
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605-50-25, "Revenue Recognition,
Customer Payments" Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are
recognized as a reduction of the cost of products included in inventories.
Promotional products or samples given to customers or potential customers are
recognized as a cost of goods sold. Cash incentives provided to our customers
are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a
reduction in sales.

DRAKE & KLEIN CPAS
A PCAOB REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Green Hygienics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying initial balance sheet of Green Hygienics, Inc.
as of August 1, 2012 (date of inception) and the accompanying statement of
stockholder's equity as of August 1, 2012. The management of Green Hygienics,
Inc. is responsible for these financial statements. 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 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Green Hygienics, Inc. as of August
1, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the footnotes to the
financial statements, the Company has not generated revenue and has not
established operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are
also described in the notes. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 1, 2012
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Green Hygienics, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," "our" or "Green Hygienics") is
a Florida corporation formed on August 1, 2012. The Company is in the business
of importing and distribution of bamboo-based hygienic products in North America
through a licensing agreement with American Hygienics Corporation ("AHC"), a
privately-owned corporation in the People's Republic of China. The Company
entered into a contract on August 1, 2012 to license AHC's products holding
Intellectual Passport on bamboo products which the Company will market to retail
establishments worldwide with an emphasis in the United States and Canada.
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 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
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial
instruments, including cash and loans the carrying amounts approximate fair
value due to their short maturities.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 1, 2012
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND COST OF GOODS SOLD
The Company recognizes revenue on our products in accordance with ASC 605-10,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Under these guidelines, revenue
is recognized on sales transactions when all of the following exist: persuasive
evidence of an arrangement did exist, delivery of product has occurred, the
sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is
reasonably assured. The Company's sales are either FOB shipping point or FOB
destination, dependent on the customer. Revenues are therefore recognized at
point of ownership transfer, accordingly. The Company has several revenue
streams as follows:
* Sale of merchandise to a retail establishment.
* Sale of merchandise from the Company's website directly to consumers.
* Sale of merchandise to a wholesaler.
* Licensing revenues which are recognized when reports are received from
licensees.
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605-50-25, "Revenue Recognition,
Customer Payments" Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are
recognized as a reduction of the cost of products included in inventories.
Promotional products or samples given to customers or potential customers are
recognized as a cost of goods sold. Cash incentives provided to our customers
are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a
reduction in sales.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in
accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in
the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other
equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an
employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense
over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the
measurement and recognition criteria of ASC Topic 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments
to Non-Employees." The Company estimates the fair value of each option at the
grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to be reversed.
The Company uses a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax
positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by
determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than
not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of
related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure
the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% (fifty percent)
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many
factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which
may require periodic adjustments. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively,
the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Uncertain
Income Tax Positions." When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that
some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing
authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the
position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.
In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is
recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all
available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the
F-5
Green Hygienics, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
August 1, 2012
position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals
or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or
aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of
tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon
settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits
associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as
described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits
in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and
penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The
Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon
examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized
tax benefits.
The Company has not filed any federal or state income tax returns since its
inception. As this is an opening balance audit, the 2012 tax year remains open
for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit or any notifications
from the IRS for any of the open tax years or unfiled returns.
The Company adopted ASC 740-10, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation
No. 48", ("ASC 740-10"), which was issued on May 2, 2007. ASC 740-10 amends FIN
48 to provide guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position
is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized
tax benefits. The term "effectively settled" replaces the term "ultimately
settled" when used to describe recognition, and the terms "settlement" or
"settled" replace the terms "ultimate settlement" or "ultimately settled" when
used to describe measurement of a tax position under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10
clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of
an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax
positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full
amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely
than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and
the statute of limitations remains open. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have
an impact on the accompanying financial statements.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
In accordance with ASC 260-10, "Earnings Per Share", basic net earnings (loss)
per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number
of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the
period. As of December 31, 2011, there are no dilutive securities.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information", the Company is required to report
financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.
The Company does not have any operating segments as of December 31, 2011.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs". ASU No. 2011-4
does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to
establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial
reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012
and it did not affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition
or liquidity.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive
Income". The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other
comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders'
equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net
income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of
F-6

Notes to Financial Statements

comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No.
2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012 and it did not
affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for
Impairment", an update to existing guidance on the assessment of goodwill
impairment. This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by
allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is
more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It
also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in
a goodwill impairment evaluation. The amendments are effective for annual and
interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 effective January 1, 2012. We
do not believe that the adoption of this new accounting guidance will have a
significant effect on our goodwill impairment assessments in the future.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210):
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." This ASU requires an
entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to
enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those
arrangements on its financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 will be applied
retrospectively and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect adoption of
this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial
condition, or liquidity.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its
Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact
on the Company's present or future financial statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. As this is an opening balance
audit, the Company has no activity as of August 1, 2012. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's continuation as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to
continue receiving investment capital and loans from a related party to sustain
its current level of operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising
out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of August 1, 2012,
there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected
to have a material effect on the results of our operations, except as noted.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

of credit risk, consist principally of temporary cash investments.
The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions
insured by the FDIC. No amounts exceeded federally insured limits as of August

Since July of 2005 Mr. Benita has been employed by the Micheal Project, a

time.
We believe Mr. Benita's qualifications to sit on our board of directors include
his years of experience as a consultant to small businesses such as ours in the
area of marketing and sales, as well as his understanding of social networking
websites gained while consulting for fit2media.com.
Our board of directors consists of Bruce Harmon, Mordechay David, and Shamir
Benita. With the exception of the Share Exchange Agreement dated September 26,
2012 among our Company, Green Hygienics Inc., and Mr. Harmon, there have been no
transactions between our company and any of our officers and directors since
August 1, 2012 (date of inception) which would be required to be reported
herein. There are no family relationships among our directors or executive
officers.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We have not paid since our inception, nor do we owe, any compensation to our
executive officers, Messrs. Harmon, David and Benita. There are no arrangements
or employment agreements with our executive officers or directors pursuant to
which they will be compensated now in the future for any services provided as an
executive officer, and we do not anticipate entering into any such arrangements
or agreements with them in the foreseeable future.
OPTION GRANTS
As of the date of this report we had not granted any options or stock
appreciation rights to our named executive officers or directors.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Our directors did not receive any compensation for their services as directors
from our inception to the date of this report. We have no formal plan for
compensating our directors for their services in the future in their capacity as
directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive options
to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our Board of Directors or
by any compensation committee that may be established.
PENSION, RETIREMENT OR SIMILAR BENEFIT PLANS
There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or
similar benefits to our directors or executive officers. We have no material
bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is
or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options
may be granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof.
OTHER DIRECTORSHIPS
Other than as disclosed above, during the last 5 years, none of our directors
held any other directorships in any company with a class of securities
registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the
requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
19
BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Since our Board of Directors does not include a majority of independent
directors, the decisions of the Board regarding director nominees are made by
persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The Board will
consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no
formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise
determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual Board
meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the Board will accept
written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and
telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee's
qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security
holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in
the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the
same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter
from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration
should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied
by a resume supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the Board, as
well as a list of references.
The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from
different people, including management, existing Board members and security
holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the
individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with
the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate,
Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final
determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate
of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the Board.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Our directors and officers are not obligated to commit their full time and
attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of
interest in allocating their time between our operations and those of other
businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become
aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for
presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty.
As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity
a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the
future become affiliated with entities that are engaged in business activities
similar to those we intend to conduct.
In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present
business opportunities to the corporation if:
* the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
* the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and
* it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to
bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.
We have adopted a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and
employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those
persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES
Other than as described above, we do not expect any other individuals to make a
significant contribution to our business.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has,
during the past ten years:
20
* been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor
offences);
* had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or
property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business
association of which he was a general partner or executive officer,
either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior
to that time;
* been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction
or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining,
barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type
of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking,
savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with
persons engaged in any such activity;
* been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or
by 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;
* been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or
administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a
civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged
violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or
regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or
insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or
permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil
money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or
removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting
mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
* been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not
subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory
organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15
U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section
1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any
equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has
disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a
member.
Except as set forth in our discussion below in "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions, and Director Independence - Transactions with Related
Persons," none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has
been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive
officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CHARTER
We do not currently have an audit committee and have not adopted an audit
committee charter.
DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY INSURANCE
The Company does not have directors' and officers' liability insurance insuring
our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their
capacities as directors or officers.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
We do not currently have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors or a
committee performing similar functions. The Board of Directors as a whole
participates in the consideration of executive officer and director
compensation.
21
BOARD COMMITTEES
We expect our board of directors, in the future, to appoint an audit committee,
nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative
to each such committee. We intend to appoint such persons to committees of the
board of directors as are expected to be required to meet the corporate
governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, although we
are not required to comply with such requirements until we elect to seek a
listing on a national securities exchange.
CODE OF ETHICS
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and
employees, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting
officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size. We
intend to adopt a written code of ethics in the near future.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
There are no family relationships among our officers, directors, or persons
nominated for such positions.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
On September 26, 2012 we entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement (the
"Exchange Agreement") dated September 26, 2012 among Winecom, Green Hygienics,
Inc., a Florida corporation, and Bruce Harmon, our sole officer, director and
the sole shareholder of Green Hygienics. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement we
received 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Green Hygienics in
exchange for the issuance to Mr. Harmon of 49,500,000 shares of our common stock
and the concurrent cancellation of 79,500,000 shares of our common stock held by
Mordechai David and Shamir Benita, our former directors and officers. Upon
closing of the Exchange Agreement we had 70,000,000 common shares issued and
outstanding. There are no outstanding options, warrants, subscriptions, phantom
shares, conversion rights, or other rights, agreements, or commitments
obligating us to issue any additional shares of our common stock.
As of August 1, 2012 and during the subsequent period there have been no other
transactions a or proposed transactions in which we are, or plan to be, a
participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 or one percent of the
average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years,
and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which does not have any
director independence requirements. Once we engage further directors and
officers, we plan to develop a definition of independence and scrutinize our
Board of Directors with regard to this definition.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which we are a
party or of which our property is the subject. We also know of no proceedings to
which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or
beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our securities, or any
associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder are an
adverse party or have a material interest adverse to us.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
MARKET INFORMATION
Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. Our common stock is quoted on
OTC Bulletin Board, under the trading symbol "WNCM". To date, there have been no
22
trades of our common stock, and we cannot assure you that there will be a market
in the future for our common stock.
OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an
organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board
securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network
connecting dealers. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller
companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a
national or regional stock exchange.
HOLDERS
As of the date of this report there were 13 holders of record of our common
stock.
DIVIDENDS
To date, we have not paid dividends on shares of our common stock and we do not
expect to declare or pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the
foreseeable future. The payment of any dividends will depend upon our future
earnings, if any, our financial condition, and other factors deemed relevant by
our Board of Directors.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
As of the date of this report we did not have any equity compensation plans.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the last three years, we completed the following sales of unregistered
securities:
On September 26, 2012 we entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement (the
"Exchange Agreement") dated September 26, 2012 among Winecom, Green Hygienics,
Inc., a Florida corporation, and Bruce Harmon, our sole officer, director and
the sole shareholder of Green Hygienics. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement we
received 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Green Hygienics in
exchange for the issuance to Mr. Harmon of 49,500,000 shares of our common stock
and the concurrent cancellation of 79,500,000 shares of our common stock held by
Mordechai David and Shamir Benita, our former directors and officers. The
unregistered common shares issued to Mr. Harmon were issued in reliance on the
exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933 and upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 193.
We have not sold or issued any securities during the last three fiscal years
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), in reliance on exemption(s) from such registration
requirements.
Since our inception we have made no purchases of our equity securities.
DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
On August 15, 2012 our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our
outstanding common stock approved the following amendments to our Article of
Incorporation and capital structure:
1. an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from
Winecom, Inc., to Green Innovations Ltd.;
2. an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the
authorized number of shares of our common stock from 100,000,000
shares to 150,000,000 shares, par value of $0.0001 per share; and
3. a split of our current issued and outstanding common shares on the
basis of 20 new common shares for 1 old common share.
23
We filed a Preliminary and a Definitive Information statement in respect of the
amendments on August 17 and August 28, 2012, respectively, in accordance with
Rule 14c and the provisions of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. As at
the date of this current report, the amendments remain subject to approval by
the Nevada Secretary of State and by FINRA. All descriptions of our common stock
contained in this report contemplate completion of the 20 new common shares for
1 old common share split of our common stock.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 (post 20 for 1 forward
split) shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value.
COMMON STOCK
As of the date of this report we had 70,000,000 (post 20 for 1 forward split)
shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional
shares of common stock or other subscription rights. Our common stock carries no
conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund
provisions. All shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in
dividends from sources legally available, when, as and if declared by our Board
of Directors, and upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or
involuntary, to share equally in our assets available for distribution to our
security holders.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common
stock not to exceed the amount authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, on
such terms and conditions and for such consideration as our Board may deem
appropriate without further security holder action.
VOTING RIGHTS
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters
on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of our common
stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they
choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not
be able to elect any person to our Board of Directors.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by our Board
of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. From
our inception to September 26, 2012 we did not declare any dividends.
We do not intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. We intend to retain
earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business.
However, it is possible that our management may decide to declare a stock
dividend in the future. Our future dividend policy will be subject to the
discretion of our Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future
earnings, if any, our financial condition, our capital requirements, general
business conditions and other factors.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
Subject to the disclosure in Section 4.01 below, we have not had any changes in,
or disagreements with, our accountants since our inception.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under
which any controlling person, director or officer of us is insured or
indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his
capacity as such, is as follows:
* Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS").
24
NEVADA REVISED STATUTES
Section 78.138 of the NRS provides for immunity of directors from monetary
liability, except in certain enumerated circumstances, as follows:
"Except as otherwise provided in NRS 35.230, 90.660, 91.250, 452.200, 452.270,
668.045 and 694A.030, or unless the Articles of Incorporation or an amendment
thereto, in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003, provide for greater
individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the
corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any
act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is
proven that:
