COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
 
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of its equity securities, file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its common stock and other equity securities. Executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us or written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that, during fiscal year 2007, all filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were met.
 
 
AMENDMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REINCORPORATION
 
On June 19, 2008 and June 20, 2008 the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders, respectively, approved the change in the Company’s State of Incorporation from Delaware to the State of Nevada under the name “City Loan, Inc.” pursuant to a merger agreement to be entered into City Loan, Inc., a Delaware corporation and City Loan, Inc., a Nevada corporation. A copy of the Certificate of Merger (DE), Agreement and Plan of Merger and Articles of Merger (NV) are attached hereto as Appendices A, C, and D, respectively
 
The following discussion summarizes the important aspects of the reincorporation of the Company in Nevada. This summary does not include all the terms of the Merger Agreement to be entered into by the Company with City Loan, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated, and its bylaws are available for inspection and copying upon request by any stockholder.
On the Effective Date:

 
·
each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of City Loan, Inc.;
 
 
·
each share of Company common stock will be cancelled and retired;

 
·
the Company will cease to exist; and

 
·
our corporate name will remain unchanged as “City Loan, Inc.”
 
After the Effective Date, City Loan, as the surviving corporation in the merger, will be subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) and the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of City Loan will replace the Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws. As described below, a number of significant changes in stockholders’ rights will be effected in connection with the Reincorporation, some of which may be viewed as limiting the rights of stockholders.

Regulatory Approval
 
To our knowledge, the only required regulatory or governmental approval or filings necessary in connection with the Reincorporation would be the filing of articles of merger with both the Secretary of State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of Nevada.
 
3

 
Effective Date of Reincorporation

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement to be entered into, we intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the 21st calendar day after this Information Statement is sent to our stockholders, the appropriate articles of merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of Nevada. The Reincorporation will be come effective at the time the last of such filings is completed, which we anticipate to be in June 2008. As a result of the Reincorporation, we will cease our corporate existence in the State of Delaware.

No Change in Business, Management or Board Members

After the effective time of the Reincorporation, the business operations of the Company will not change and the Company will continue to operate its business of providing title and auto pawn loans against the equity in a vehicle owner’s car..

No Change in Authorized Capital
 
Prior to the effective date of the Reincorporation, the authorized capital of the Company consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. After the effective date of the Reincorporation, the authorized capital of City Loan, Inc. will remain the same as that of the Company. The Reincorporation will not affect total stockholder equity or total capitalization of the Company.

Exchange of Stock Certificates
 
After the effective date of the Reincorporation, all of the outstanding certificates that, prior to that time, represented shares of common stock of the Company will be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership and to represent the same number of shares of common stock of City Loan, Inc. into which such shares are converted in the Reincorporation. The registered owner of any such outstanding stock certificate will, until such certificate will have been surrendered for transfer or conversion or otherwise accounted for to City Loan, Inc., have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to, and to receive any dividend or other distributions upon the shares of common stock of City Loan, Inc. evidenced by such outstanding certificate. After the effective date of the Reincorporation, whenever certificates, which formerly represented shares of the Company, are presented for transfer or conversion, City Loan will cause to be issued in respect thereof a certificate or certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of common stock of City Loan, Inc.
 
 
AMENDMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK 
 
General
 
On June 19, 2008 and June 20, 2008 the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders, respectively, approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a Seven (7) for One (1) reverse stock split, whereby, as of the Record Date, for every seven shares of Common Stock then owned, each stockholder shall receive one share of Common Stock. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (DE) is attached hereto as Appendix B.
 
Background
 
The Company currently has 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized, and approximately 69,478,982 shares of Common Stock, and 8,314,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding as of the Record Date, respectively. The Board of Directors believes that the price of the Common Stock is too low to attract investors to buy the stock. In order to proportionally raise the per share price of the Common Stock by reducing the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding, the Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to implement a reverse stock split. In addition, the Board of Directors believes that the share price of the Common Stock is a factor in whether the Common Stock meets investing guidelines for certain institutional investors and investment funds. Finally, the Board of Directors believes that the Company’s stockholders will benefit from relatively lower trading costs for a higher priced stock. The combination of lower transaction costs and increased interest from institutional investors and investment funds may ultimately improve the trading liquidity of the Common Stock. The Board of Directors is not implementing the reverse stock split in anticipation of any future transaction or series of transactions, including any “going private” transaction.
 
4

 
Material Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
 
The reverse stock split will be effected simultaneously for all of the Common stock, and the ratio will be the same for all of the Common Stock. The reverse stock split will affect all of the Company’s stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in fractional share ownership.
 
The principal effect of the reverse stock split will be to reduce the number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding from approximately 69,478,982 shares as of June 20, 2008 to approximately 9,925,569 shares.
 
In addition, the reverse stock split will increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots may experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and may have greater difficulty in effecting sales.
 
Effect on Fractional Stockholders 
 
Stockholders will not receive fractional post-reverse stock split shares in connection with the reverse stock split and we will not be paying any cash to stockholders for any fractional shares from the reverse split. Instead, any resulting fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
 
Effect on Registered and Beneficial Stockholders 
 
Upon the reverse stock split, the Company intends to treat stockholders holding the Common Stock in “street name,” through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding the Common Stock in “street name.” However, such banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the reverse stock split. Stockholders who hold their shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their nominees.
 
Effect on Registered Certificated Shares 
 
Stockholders whose shares are held in certificate form will receive a transmittal letter from our transfer agent, Standard Registrar & Transfer Co., Inc., as soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender certificate(s) representing pre-reverse stock split shares to the transfer agent. No new shares will be issued until outstanding certificate(s) are surrendered, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the transfer agent. Stockholders should not submit any certificate(s) until requested to do so.
 
Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split 
 
The Company will promptly file a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to amend its existing Certificate of Incorporation. The reverse stock split will become effective on the date of filing the Certificate of Amendment, which is referred to as the “Effective Date.” Beginning on the Effective Date, each certificate representing pre-reverse stock split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split shares. The text of the Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation is set forth in Appendix A to this Information Statement. The text of the Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and as the Board of Directors deems necessary and advisable to effect the reverse stock split.

Certain Risk Factors Associated with the Reverse Stock Split 
 
Implementation of the reverse stock split entails various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following:
 
 
·
There can be no assurance that the market price per share of the Common Stock after the reverse stock split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of the Company after the reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the reverse stock split.
 
 
·
After the reverse stock split is effected, if the market price of the Common Stock declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split.
 
 
·
There can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Common Stock may not necessarily improve.
 
 
·
The reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split could adversely affect the liquidity of the Common Stock.
 
Authorized Shares 
 
The following table 1 sets forth information regarding the Company’s current and anticipated number of authorized shares and issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock following implementation of the reverse stock split.
 
 
Number of Shares Common Stock Authorized
Number of Shares of Common Stock Issued and Outstanding
Number of Shares of Common Stock Reserved for Issuance
Number of Shares of Common Stock Available for Issuance
As of June 20, 2008
250,000,000
69,478,982
180,521,018
180,521,018
After 7 for 1 reverse stock split
250,000,000
9,925,569
240,074,431
240,074,431
 
Accounting Matters
 
The reverse stock split will not affect the par value of the Common Stock. As a result, as of the Effective Date, the stated capital attributable to the Common Stock on the Company’s balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the reverse stock split ratio of two hundred-for-one (or such smaller ratio as the Board of Directors may determine), and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per-share net income or loss and net book value of the Common Stock will be restated because there will be fewer shares of the Common Stock outstanding.
 
Potential Anti-Takeover Effect 
 
Although the increased proportion of un-issued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company), the reverse stock split proposal is not being undertaken in response to any effort of which the Board of Directors is aware to accumulate shares of the Common Stock or obtain control of Company. Other than the reverse stock split (and the earlier increase in authorized shares), the Board of Directors does not currently contemplate the adoption of any other amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the control of the Company.
 
No Appraisal Rights 
 
The Delaware Corporation Law does not provide for dissenter’s rights in connection with any of the actions described in this Information Statement, and the Company will not provide stockholders with any such right independently.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split 
 
The following is a summary of the material federal income tax consequences of the proposed reverse stock split. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial opinions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service, and all other applicable authorities as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of his particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign individuals and entities, and persons who acquired their Common Stock as compensation). In addition, this summary is limited to stockholders that hold their Common Stock as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.
 
ACCORDINGLY, EACH STOCKHOLDER IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISER TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH STOCKHOLDER OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.
 
No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares pursuant to the reverse stock split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split shares received in the reverse stock split will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged therefore. The stockholder’s holding period for the post-reverse stock split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-reverse stock split shares surrendered in the reverse stock split.
 
The tax treatment of each stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the reverse stock split. Each stockholder should consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to him or her of the reverse stock split.

City Loan Delaware and City Loan Nevada are sometimes referred to as the "Constituent Corporations."

After the effective date of the Reincorporation, the authorized capital of City Loan, Inc. will remain the same as that of the Company. The Reincorporation will not affect total stockholder equity or total capitalization of the Company.

    The Directors of the Constituent Corporations deem it advisable and to the advantage of the Constituent Corporations that City Loan Delaware merge into City Loan Nevada upon the terms and conditions herein provided.

    NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby adopt the plan of reorganization encompassed by this Merger Agreement and do hereby agree that City Loan Delaware shall merge into City Loan Nevada on the following terms, conditions and other provisions:
