SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth, as of June 27, 2008, the number of shares of Common Stock which were owned beneficially by (i) each person who is known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of its Common Stock, and “Affiliates” of the Company, (ii) each director, (iii) each executive officer and affiliate and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group.

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
 
General
 
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.
 
Reason for Change in State of Incorporation
 
The purpose of the Reincorporation is to change our state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada, where we will be conducting our business. Our Board of Directors believes that the Reincorporation will benefit the Company and its shareholders by giving the Company more flexibility and simplicity in various corporate transactions and reduce the cost of doing business. The State of Nevada is recognized as a desirable state in which to do business because it has favorable corporate income tax treatment, nominal annual fees, and the identity of individual shareholders is not of public record. Furthermore, the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) provides a recognized body of corporate law that will facilitate corporate governance by our officers and directors.
 
Nevada’s laws offer flexibility to the Board of Directors in managing the affairs of a corporation, and permit management to put in place strong protection from hostile takeovers. Incorporating in Nevada offers protection for officers and directors from personal liability against lawsuits or business debts arising from the operation of the corporation or by actions committed on behalf of the corporation. Furthermore, there are no limitations dictating where the corporation may conduct its business, transact real property, or how many or how few officers or directors a Nevada corporation may have.
 
3

 
Our Board of Directors believes that these advantages are significant and justify the Reincorporation.
 
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.
 
Comparison of Corporate Governance Documents
 
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and City Loan Nevada is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company’s corporate affairs are currently governed by the Delaware General Corporation Code (“GCL”) and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which were created pursuant to Delaware Law. On the effective date of the Reincorporation, issues of corporate governance and control will be controlled by Nevada Law and City Loan Nevada’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
 
There are certain significant differences between the Delaware General Corporation Law and Nevada corporate law. Shareholders should refer to the NRS and the GCL to understand how these laws apply City Loan Nevada to our Company. Some of these differences are set forth below.

Shareholder’s Rights
Delaware
Nevada
Quorum
Under Delaware Law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws may specify the number of shares which shall be present or represented by proxy at any meeting in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business, but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. In the absence of such specification in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation:(1) A majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders
Under Nevada law, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a corporation, the quorum required for a corporation’s stockholders is presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
4

 
Removal of Directors
Delaware law provides that any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except as follows:
(1) Unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, in the case of a corporation whose board is divided into classes under Section 141(d) of the GCL, shareholders may effect such removal only for cause; or
(2) In the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director's removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part.
Nevada law provides that any one or all of the directors of a corporation may be removed by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of a corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. Nevada law does not distinguish between removal of directors with or without cause.
Declaration and Payment of Dividends
Delaware law provides that the directors, subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock either (1) out of its surplus, as defined in and computed in accordance with §§ 154 and 244 of the GCL, or (2) in case there shall be no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If the capital of the corporation, computed in accordance with §§ 154 and 244 of this title, shall have been diminished by depreciation in the value of its property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, the directors of such corporation shall not declare and pay out of such net profits any dividends upon any shares of any classes of its capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired.
Nevada law provides that no distribution (including dividends on, or redemption or repurchases of, shares of capital stock) may be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or, except as specifically permitted by the articles of incorporation, the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed at the time of a dissolution to satisfy the preferential rights of preferred stockholders.
  
5

 
Special Meetings of Stockholders
Under Delaware law, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the board of directors or by such person or persons as may be authorized by the certificate of incorporation or by the bylaws
Nevada law provides that unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, the entire board of directors, any two directors, or the president of the corporation may call a special meeting of the stockholders.
Failure to Hold an Annual Meeting
Under Delaware law, failure to hold the annual meeting at the designated time or to elect a sufficient number of directors to conduct the business of the corporation shall not affect otherwise valid corporate acts or work a forfeiture or dissolution of the corporation except as may be otherwise specifically provided under Delaware law. If the annual meeting for election of directors is not held on the date designated, or action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting has not been taken, the directors shall cause the meeting to be held as soon as is convenient. If there be a failure to hold the annual meeting or to take action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting for a period of 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated, for a period of 13 months after the latest to occur of the organization of the corporation, its last annual meeting or the last action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting, the Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the application of any stockholder or director.
Nevada law provides that if a corporation fails to elect directors within 18 months after the last election, a Nevada district court may order an election upon the petition of one or more stockholders holding 15 percent of the corporation’s voting power. The Nevada Bylaws provide that an annual meeting will be held within 180 days after the end of the corporation's fiscal year at such time as is designated by the board of directors and as is provided for in the notice of the meeting and do not modify Nevada law in other respects.
 
6

 
Duration of Proxies
According to Delaware law, a proxy is effective for a period of three years, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
According to Nevada law, a proxy is effective only for a period of six months, unless it is coupled with an interest or unless otherwise provided in the proxy, which may not exceed seven years.
Cumulative Voting
The certificate of incorporation of any Delaware corporation may provide that at all elections of directors of the corporation, or at elections held under specified circumstances, each holder of stock or of any class or classes or of a series or series thereof shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of votes which (except for such provision as to cumulative voting) such holder would be entitled to cast for the election of directors with respect to such holder's shares of stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected by such holder, and that such holder may cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted for, or for any 2 or more of them as such holder may see fit.
Directors of a Nevada corporation are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation. Nevada law permits cumulative voting in the election of directors as long as the articles of incorporation provide for cumulative voting and certain procedures for the exercise of cumulative voting are followed.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors
Delaware law mandates that a member of the board of directors, or a member of any committee designated by the board of directors, shall, in the performance of such member's duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the corporation by any of the corporation's officers or employees, or committees of the board of directors, or by any other person as to matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation
Nevada law provides that the board of directors has the ultimate responsibility for managing the business and affairs of a corporation. In discharging this function, directors owe fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders. A director of a Nevada business corporation must perform his or her duties as a director in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation. Nevada law provides that in discharging their duties, the board of directors, committees of the board and individual directors may, in exercising their respective powers with a view to the interests of the corporation, choose, to the extent they deem appropriate, to subordinate the interests of stockholders to the interests of employees, suppliers, customers or creditors of the corporation or to the interests of the communities served by the corporation. Furthermore, the officers and directors may consider the long-term and short-term interests of the corporation and its stockholders. Under Nevada law, unless there is a breach of fiduciary duty or a lack of good faith, any act of the board of directors, any committee of the board or any individual director is presumed to be in the corporation’s best interest. No higher burden of proof or greater obligation to justify applies to any act relating to or affecting an acquisition or a potential or proposed acquisition of control of the corporation than to any other action. Nevada law imposes a heightened standard of conduct upon directors who take action to resist a change or potential change in control of a corporation, if such action impedes the exercise of the stockholders’ right to vote for or remove directors.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws
Delaware law generally requires the approval of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote to approve proposed amendments to a corporation’s articles of incorporation. Delaware law generally requires stockholder approval for amendments relative to the voting powers, designation, preferences, limitations, restrictions and rights of a class of stock.
Nevada law generally requires the approval of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote to approve proposed amendments to a corporation’s articles of incorporation. Nevada law also provides that in addition to the vote described above, the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of a class may be required to amend the articles of incorporation. Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for the board of directors of a corporation to fix the voting powers, designation, preferences, limitations, restrictions and rights of a class of stock provided that the corporation’s organizational documents grant such power to its board of directors.
Inspection of Books and Records
 
Under Nevada law, any person who has been a stockholder of record of a Nevada corporation for at least six months immediately preceding a demand, or any person holding or authorized in writing by the holders of, at least five percent of all of its outstanding shares, upon at least five days’ written demand, is entitled to inspect and copy the following records: a copy certified by the Secretary of State of the corporation’s articles of incorporation, and all amendments thereto; a copy certified by an officer of the corporation of the corporation’s bylaws and all amendments thereto; and a stock ledger, revised annually, containing the names of all persons who are stockholders of the corporation, places of residence, and number of shares held by them respectively. In addition, any stockholder of a Nevada corporation owning not less than 15 percent of all issued and outstanding shares, or who has been authorized in writing by the holders of at least 15 percent of all of its issued and outstanding shares, upon at least five days written demand, is entitled to inspect the books of account and all financial records of the corporation, to make extracts therefrom, and to conduct an audit of such records. These rights may not be limited in the articles or bylaws of the corporation but may be denied to any stockholder upon the stockholder’s refusal to furnish the corporation an affidavit that such inspection, extracts or audit is not desired for any purpose not related to the stockholder’s interest in the corporation as a stockholder. However, the right to inspect and audit financial records does not apply to any corporation listed and traded on any recognized stock exchange or to any corporation that furnishes to its stockholders a detailed, annual financial statement.
Franchise Taxes
 
Nevada does not impose a corporate franchise tax.
 
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 become 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.

Change in Ticker Symbol
 
Upon the effectivity of the Reincorporation, the Company will continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, the ticker symbol under which the Company’s stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board may change by reason of the Reincorporation.
 
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.
 
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. Upon the effectivity of the reverse stock split, the Company will have approximately 240,074,431 shares of Common Stock available for issuance. At this time, the Company has not entered into any agreements or arrangement regarding the issuance of additional shares of its Common Stock.
 
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.
 
10

 
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.

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.
 
12

 
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.

Filed July 2, 2008
File No. 000-50561

Dear Ms. Woo:

Please find electronically transmitted herewith changes to City Loan, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C (“Information Statement”) filing in response to your comments dated July 10, 2008. This response letter has been numbered to coincide with your comment letter.

Amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to Effect the Reincorporation, page 3

Comment 1: State briefly the reasons for the change in the state of incorporation of the company from Delaware to Nevada. See Item 19 of Schedule 14A.

Response: The Company has responded to this comment by adding a section titled, “Reason for Change in State of Incorporation.” Please see page 7 of the Information Statement.

Comment 2: Please revise the information statement to provide a summary comparison of all of the material differences in the corporate governance documents of the company and the new corporation, and address the purpose and the general effect of each such change upon the rights of existing security holders. In addition, the information statement should disclose all the material differences between the corporate laws of Nevada and Delaware affecting shareholders as they each apply to you. If any of the described changes have an anti-takeover purpose or effect, please clearly disclose this effect. See Release No. 34-15230.

Response: The Company has responded to this comment by adding a section titled, “Comparison of Corporate Governance Documents.” Please see disclosure beginning on page 9 of the Information Statement.

Comment 3: We note that the company is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol "CIYL." Please disclose whether the securities will continue to be quoted on the OTCBB after the reincorporation merger.
 

 
Response: The Company will seek to continue to quote its securities on the OTC Bulletin Board after the reincorporation merger. However, as noted in the Information Statement, the Company’s current ticker symbol may change as a result of the reincorporation. Please see the disclosure added to the Information Statement on page 14.

Amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to Effect the Reverse Stock Split of Common Stock, page 4

Comment 4: We note your disclosure on page 5 that the effect of the reverse split will be to reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding from approximately 69,478,982 shares to approximately 9,925,569 shares. Given that the company does not intend to reduce the number of authorized shares, the reverse split will have the effect of increasing the number of authorized and unissued shares. Please state the number of authorized and unissued shares after the reverse split and disclose whether you have any current plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the additional shares.
 
Response: The Company has responded to this comment under the heading, “Material Effects of the Reverse Stock Split.” Please see page 17 of the Information Statement.
