Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or “JOBS Act.” We anticipate that we will remain an emerging growth company until we attain one of the following: a) we have more than $1 billion in annual revenue in a fiscal year; b) we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period; c) we have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of any June 30, and d) before the end of the five full fiscal years. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to:
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
While we are not a blank check company, we believe business conditions will continuing to be challenging

SUMMARY INFORMATION ABOUT SASANI
Sasani . is a development stage company and was incorporated in Delaware on August 9, 2012. Sasani intends to introduce the finest elements of cinema in to the blockbuster movie experience. In doing so, we will create timeless works of art that will be appreciated by a wider audience. Raising the standards of originality and creativity in the motion picture industry, while serving as a model for our peers and future film makers is important to us.
We are an independent motion picture production and distribution company engaged in the development, acquisition, financing, production, and licensing of theatrical motion pictures for exhibition in domestic (i.e., the United States and Canada) and foreign theatrical markets, and for subsequent worldwide release in other forms of media, including home video and pay and free television.
Sasani plans to generate a loyal fan base through the production of high-quality films. Additionally, we are looking to mitigate the high cost of film-making through the use of relatively unknown but talented actors and directors, social media to create “buzz” and simplified yet elegant sets. The Company hopes to show its films at various festivals (e.g- Cannes, Sundance) to get broader appeal and ultimately have the high quality of their films bring in waves of audience. There is a large void available for a platform to create, target, deliver and provide high quality independent films and Sasani believes that the market can be exploited relatively cheaply. Sasani will accomplish this through selective adaption of screenplays and where applicable, the employment of amateur film personnel. Film equipment will be rented where applicable, and we will minimize marketing costs, known as Prints and Advertsing (“P&A”) in the trade through aggressive usage of social media.
Film Production
Most every piece of equipment used in film production can be rented as need be. We plan to rent whatever equipment is needed for the shortest period of time and to coordinate its use to avoid idle time.
However, reduced cost should not be equated to mean low quality. Commercially successful and artistically acclaimed films like Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch Project and Napoleon Dynamite were made on a shoe-string and grossed more than $100,000,000. Essential to our success will be the production of high quality films having budgets less than $500,000.that have the potential to be profitable. The budget for our first film will be between $100,000 and $500,000 depending on how much we raise in this and subsequent public offerings. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to produce our first film, even if we raise the minimum amount of this offering. We will not engage in the production of X-rated material. We plan to make motion pictures that appeal to the tastes of the vast majority of the movie-going public. Our films will be cast into a wide range of genres, with our initial focus being on suspense, drama, and comedy. All our films will be suitable for domestic and international theatrical exhibition, pay cable, network and syndicated television, as well as all other ancillary markets.
We believe that the low budgets, within which we intend to operate, will limit our financial risk but will provide ample resources to produce a high quality cinematic release. We do not plan on having high overhead, debt financing or substantial assets and that by maintaining a smaller, more flexible staff, we can operate more efficiently than typical large studios.
Where applicable, we will enter into joint ventures to co-produce films in order to penetrate new markets. We will not cede artistic control of our enterprises and anticipate that we will be responsible for the majority of the cost for each of these films. We may obtain our portion of the production costs from third parties in the form of debt financing, profit participation or such financing, and as such, we may be required to relinquish control of the project. If we lose control of the project then we will likely be unable to influence the production, sale, distribution or licensing of the film. Primary responsibility for the overall planning, financing, and production of each motion picture will rest with our management. For each motion picture we will employ an independent film director who will be responsible for, or involved with, many of the creative elements, such as direction, photography, and editing. All decisions will be subject to budgetary restrictions and our business control, although we will permit an independent director to retain reasonable artistic control of the project, consistent with its completion within strict budget guidelines.
Plans for the company’s first film, “THE FACTORY” have already been put into place. The script has been written and the locations scouted. All that remains are the financing and the production. The plot is engaging and will appeal to a wide range of audiences in an effort to entertain and enlighten. Every scene is designed to engage the audience in order to create a lasting cinematic experience, which will generate “word of mouth” testimonials.” Furthermore, beyond the excitement and the range of emotions that the film evokes there is also a real and relevant social message. THE FACTORY raises awareness about marginalized worldly issues that affect us all. The film causes us to reexamine the state of our society and to consider what we can do as individuals to make the world a better place while remembering that “There is no place like America.”

5
The Company considers the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding this offering. Sasani should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of your entire investment. Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING ------------------------------
BECAUSE THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR STOCK AND NOT BE ABLE TO TURN YOUR INVESTMENT INTO CASH
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale. The offering price and other terms and conditions relative to the Company's shares have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. Additionally, as the Company was formed recently and has only a limited operating history and no earnings, the price of the offered shares is not based on its past earnings and no investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.
INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS BECAUSE BUYERS WILL PAY MORE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK THAN THE PRO RATA PORTION OF THE ASSETS ARE WORTH
The Company has only been recently formed and has only a limited operating history and no earnings, therefore, the price of the offered shares is not based on any data. The offering price and other terms and conditions regarding the Company's shares have been arbitrarily determined and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. No investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.
The offering price of $0.10 per common share as determined herein is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of the Company's common stock. Sasani's assets do not substantiate a share price of $0.10. This premium in share price applies to the terms of this offering and does not attempt to reflect any forward looking share price subsequent to the Company obtaining a listing on any exchange, or becoming quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
THERE IS NO MINIMUM AMOUNT REQUIRED TO BE RAISED IN THIS OFFERING, AND IF WE CANNOT GENERATE SUFFICIENT FUNDS FROM THIS OFFERING, THE BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
There is not a minimum amount of shares that need to be sold in this Offering for the Company to access the funds. Therefore, the proceeds of this Offering will be immediately available for use by us and we don't have to wait until a minimum number of Shares have been sold to keep the proceeds from any sales. We can't assure you that subscriptions for the entire Offering will be obtained. We have the right to terminate the offering of the Shares at any time, regardless of the number of Shares we have sold since there is no minimum subscription requirement. Our ability to meet our financial obligations, cash needs, and to achieve our objectives, could be adversely affected if the entire offering of Shares is not fully subscribed for.
BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS 500,000,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES, MANAGEMENT PLANS TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES, DILUTING THE CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company has 500,000,000 authorized shares, of which only 5,000,000 are currently issued and outstanding and an up to a maximum amount of 500,000 will be issued and outstanding after this offering terminates if the full offering is subscribed. In addition, the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund the product platform development efforts of at least $500,000. This additional capital raise will further dilute the shareholders. The Company's management could, without the consent of the existing shareholders, issue substantially more shares, causing a large dilution in the equity position of the Company's current shareholders. Additionally, large share issuances would generally have a negative impact on the Company's share price. It is possible that, due to additional share issuance, you could lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, SO THERE WILL BE FEWER WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN MAKE A GAIN ON ANY INVESTMENT IN THIS COMPANY
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, but plan rather to retain earnings, if any, for the operation growth and expansion of our business. Therefore, the only way to liquidate your investment is to sell your stock.
INVESTING IN THE COMPANY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND COULD RESULT IN THE ENTIRE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT
Purchasing the offered shares is highly speculative and involves significant risk. The offered shares should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. The business objectives of the Company are also speculative, and it is possible that we would be unable to accomplish them. The Company's shareholders may be unable to realize a substantial or any return on their purchase of the offered shares and may lose their entire investment. For this reason, each prospective purchaser of the offered shares should read this prospectus and all of its exhibits carefully and consult with their attorney, business and/or investment advisor.
AS WE DO NOT HAVE AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT WITH SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR INVESTORS, IF WE FILE FOR OR ARE FORCED INTO BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION, THEY WILL LOSE THE ENTIRE INVESTMENT
Invested funds for this offering will not be placed in an escrow or trust account and if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. As such, you will lose your investment and your funds will be used to pay creditors.
AS WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CREATE OR SUSTAIN A MARKET FOR OUR SHARES, THEY MAY BE EXTREMELY ILLIQUID AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT
If no market develops, the holders of our common stock may find it difficult or impossible to sell their shares. Further, even if a market develops, our common stock will be subject to fluctuations and volatility and the Company cannot apply directly to be quoted on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). Additionally, the stock may be listed or traded only to the extent that there is interest by broker-dealers in acting as a market maker in the Company's stock. Despite the Company's efforts, it may not be able to attract any broker/dealers to act as market-makers and make quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board. The
Company may consider pursuing a listing on the OTCBB after this registration becomes effective and the Company has completed its offering.
7
BLUE SKY LAWS MAY LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES. IF THE STATE LAWS ARE NOT FOLLOWED, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES AND YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR INVESTMENT
State Blue Sky laws may limit resale of the Shares. The holders of our shares of common stock and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there may be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares.
Accordingly, even if we are successful in having the Shares available for quoting on the OTCBB, investors should consider any secondary market for the Company's securities to be limited. We intend to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the Company in an accepted publication which permits a "manual exemption". This manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer's balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities. Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, Fitch's Investment Service, and Best's Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they recognize securities manuals' but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.
IN THE EVENT THAT THE COMPANY'S SHARES ARE TRADED, THEY MAY TRADE UNDER $5.00 PER SHARE AND THUS WILL BE A PENNY STOCK. TRADING IN PENNY STOCKS HAS MANY RESTRICTIONS AND THESE RESTRICTIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES CREATING A POTENTIAL LOSS OF INVESTMENT
In the event that our shares are traded, and our stock trades below $5.00 per share, our stock would be known as a "penny stock", which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a "penny stock". A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is often volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want to.
SINCE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CURRENTLY OWNS 100% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS MAY FEEL THAT HIS DECISIONS ARE CONTRARY TO THEIR INTERESTS
8
The Company's sole officer and director, Mr. Hamid Kayani, owns 100% of the outstanding shares and will own no less than 91% after this offering is completed. For example, if 50% of the offering is sold, Mr. Kayani will retain 95% of the shares outstanding. As a result, he will maintain control of the Company and be able to choose all of our directors. His interests may differ from those of other stockholders. Factors that could cause his interests to differ from the other stockholders include the impact of corporate transactions on the timing of business operations and his ability to continue to manage the business given the amount of time he is able to devote to the Company.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS ----------------------------------------------------------------- AUDITOR'S GOING CONCERN -----------------------
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE ABILITY OF BIGCLIX, INC. TO CONTINUE ITS OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN
In their report for the period ending September 30, 2012 and dated September 25, 2012; our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. The proceeds from this offering will not be sufficient to complete our business plan and start generating revenues. Even if all the shares are sold in this offering, we will require up to an additional $500,000 to complete our business plan and start generating revenues. Additionally, we do not have any commitments for the funding necessary to complete our business plan and to start generating revenues.
Because our sole officer may be unwilling or unable to loan or advance any additional capital to Sasani, Inc. we believe that if we do not raise additional capital within 12 months of the effective date of this registration statement, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our business plans. Due to the fact that there is no minimum investment and no refunds on sold shares, you may be investing in a Company that will not have the funds necessary to develop its business strategies. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your entire investment. See the September 30, 2012 Audited Financial Statements - Auditors' Report". Because the Company has been issued an opinion by its auditors that substantial doubt exists as to whether it can continue as a going concern it may be more difficult to attract investors.
BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL AND DO NOT HAVE MUCH CAPITAL, WE MUST LIMIT OUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES. AS A RESULT, OUR SALES MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO OPERATE PROFITABLY. IF WE DO NOT MAKE A PROFIT, WE MAY HAVE TO SUSPEND OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
Due to the fact we are small with very little working capital, we must limit our marketing activities to potential customers having the likelihood of purchasing our products. We intend to generate revenue through the sale of our products. Because we will be limiting the scope of our marketing activities, we may not be able to generate enough sales to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
SINCE SASANI ANTICIPATES OPERATING EXPENSES WILL INCREASE PRIOR TO GENERATING REVENUE, IT MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY AND IF THE COMPANY CAN NOT ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY OR RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, IT MAY FAIL RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT
The Company anticipates an increase in its operating expenses, without realizing any revenues from the sale of its products. Over the next 12 months, the Company will have operating costs of at least $500,000. The Company will have $250,000 in production costs for the film and another $250,000 in post-production costs. Film
Production is expected to take six to nine months and post production will take another three months after that.
OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADEQUATE FINANCING, RESULTING IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT
If we are not successful in earning sufficient revenue once we have started our sale activities, we may require additional financing to sustain our business operations. Over the next 12 months, we anticipate needing at least $500,000 to complete the business plan, development of products and other operating expenses. Currently, we do not have any arrangements for financing and can provide no assurances to investors that we will be able to obtain any when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the Company's sales results. These factors may have an effect on the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing and make such additional financing unavailable to us. See "Description of Business."
No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain access to capital markets in the future or that adequate financing to satisfy the cash requirements of implementing our business strategies will be available on acceptable terms. The inability of the Company to gain access to capital markets or obtain acceptable financing could have a material adverse effect upon the results of its operations and its financial conditions.
RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY -----------------------------------------
OUR LACK OF AN OPERATING HISTORY GIVES NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS WILL RESULT IN PROFITABLE REVENUES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF OUR OPERATIONS AND INVESTORS MAY LOOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT
We were incorporated on August 9, 2012 and we have not realized any revenues to date. We are an early entry stage company in a very competitive mobile services market. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the completion of this offering and our ability to generate revenues through sales of our products.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business and you will lose your entire investment.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY PROVE UNPREDICTABLE WHICH MAY IMPACT THE COMPANY AND THE VALUE OF THE INVESTMENT
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control over. Currently, we don't have a product or prototype. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: our inability to generate enough working capital from future equity sales; and after we create a commercial product, the factors include: the level of commercial acceptance by the ecommerce businesses of our products; fluctuations in the demand for our product and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our future business, operations and infrastructure and general economic conditions. If realized, any of these risks could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
THE COMPANY'S SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR MAY NOT BE IN A POSITION TO DEVOTE A MAJORITY OF HIS TIME TO THE COMPANY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERIODIC INTERRUPTIONS AND EVEN BUSINESS FAILURE.
Mr. Hamid Kayani, our sole officer and director, has other business interests and currently devotes approximately 30 hours per week to our operations. He currently runs Kayani Uomo, a Store-based clothing retailer that selects only the best cutting edge and current fashions. Our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are not convenient to Mr. Kayani, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of our business plan.
Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of the business.
KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MAY LEAVE THE COMPANY WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS. IF THE COMPANY CEASES OPERATIONS, YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR INVESTMENT
Because the Company is entirely dependent on the efforts of its sole officer and director, his departure could have a materially adverse effect on the business. He has other outside business activities and is devoting only approximately 25-30 hours per week to our operations. His expertise in the entertainment industry as well as his technical expertise are critical to the success of the business. The loss of this resource would have a significant impact on our business. The Company does not maintain key person life insurance on its sole officer and director.
IF THE COMPANY IS DISSOLVED, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT ASSETS REMAINING TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS RESULTING IN UP TO A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
In the event of the dissolution of the Company, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of its assets, if any, will be used primarily to pay the claims of the Company's creditors, if any, before there can be any distribution to the shareholders. In that case, the ability of purchasers of the offered shares to recover all or any portion of the purchase price for the offered shares will depend on the amount of funds realized, if any, after the settlement of claims.
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S MARKET AND STRATEGY --------------------------------------------------
THE ENTERTAINMENT AND FILM MARKET IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND FINDING QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES IS DIFFICULT. IF WE CANNOT RETAIN QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES , WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
The film industry requires talented actors, screenwriters, directors and support personnel in addition to creative thought. The Company needs these resources to attract and retain a fanbase. If we are not successful hiring and managing these employees our business will fail, which could result in a complete loss of your investment.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GAIN ANY SIGNIFICANT MARKET ACCEPTANCE FOR OUR FILMS OR ESTABLISH A SIGNIFICANT MARKET PRESENCE. IF WE CAN NOT GAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTRACT CUSTOMERS AND GENERATE REVENUE AND OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
11
Sasani's growth strategy is substantially dependent upon its ability to market its products successfully to niche audiences at first and then have mass acceptance. However, there is always the possibility that the Company will not achieve significant acceptance. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant period of time. Failure of the Company's productions to achieve or sustain market acceptance will have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and the results of our operations.
MANAGEMENT'S ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT THE BUSINESS STRATEGY SUCCESSFULLY IS CRITICAL TO THE BUSINESS SUCCESS. IF THE MANAGEMENT FAILS TO IMPLEMENT THE BUSINESS STRATEGY, THE COMPANY WILL FAIL AND INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR INVESTMENT
Although the Company intends to pursue a strategy of marketing its product through social media to mitigate expenses, our business success depends on a number of factors. These include: our ability to establish a significant fan base; maintain favorable relationships within the entertainment industry; obtain adequate business financing on favorable terms; development and maintenance of appropriate operating procedures, policies and systems and hire, train and retain skilled employees. The inability of the Company to manage any or all of these factors could impair its ability to implement its business strategy successfully, which could have a materially adverse effect on the results of its operations and its financial condition.
SASANI MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE ITS FUTURE GROWTH. IF THE COMPANY CAN NOT SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE GROWTH, THE COMPANY MAY RUN OUT OF MONEY AND FAIL.
Any extraordinary growth may place a significant strain on management, financial, operating and technical resources. Failure to manage this growth effectively could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or the results of its operations.
RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING IN OUR BUSINESS ------------------------------------------
THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO MAKE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS AT ACCEPTABLE COSTS WHICH WILL IMPACT PROFITABILITY AND MAY CAUSE US TO CEASE OPERATIONS IF WE RUN OUT OF CAPITAL
Because we are a small business, with limited assets, we are not in a position to assume unanticipated costs and expenses. If we have to make changes in the Company structure or are faced with circumstances that are beyond our ability to afford, we may have to suspend operations or cease operations entirely which could result in a total loss of your investment.
12
GENERAL COMPETITION
The Company has identified a market opportunity for our productions. The entertainment industry is very competitive. Well-heeled and well-known competitors such as Disney Corporation and Tri-Star Pictures have resources and name recognition that we do not have. Such competitors with superior financial resources will infringe on our future customer base, limit our access to theatre releases which in turn will have an adverse affect upon our business and the results of our operations.
COMPETITION MAY DECREASE OUR MARKET SHARE, REVENUES, AND GROSS MARGINS.
Sasani has decided to compete in very competitive markets versus Providers who have substantially more capital, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may also establish more comprehensive marketing and advertising campaigns than we can. Our competitors may develop entertainment offerings that we do not offer or that are more sophisticated or more cost effective than our own. For these and other reasons, our competitors' products and services may achieve greater acceptance in the marketplace than our own, limiting our ability to gain market share and customer loyalty and to generate sufficient revenues to achieve a profitable level of operations. Our failure to adequately address any of the above factors could harm our business and operating results.
IF, AFTER DEMONSTRATING PROOF-OF-CONCEPT, WE ARE UNABLE TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH BUSINESS AND CHANNEL PARTNERS AND/OR CUSTOMERS, THE BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Because there may be a substantial delay between the completion of this offering and the execution of the business plan, our expenses may be increased and it may take us longer to produce content and generate revenues. We have no way to predict when we will begin delivering our content in theatres. In addition, it takes time, money, and resources to build relationships with film operators. If these efforts are unsuccessful or take longer than anticipated, the Company may run out of capital and the business will fail.
THE COMPANY MAY RETAIN INDEPENDENT RESOURCES OR CONSULTANTS DUE TO CAPITAL CONSTRAINTS TO HELP GROW THE BUSINESS. IF THESE RESOURCES DO NOT PERFORM, THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO CEASE OPERATIONS AND YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR INVESTMENT
The company's management may decide due to economic reasons to retain independent contractors to provide services to the company. Those independent individuals and organizations have no fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the company and may not perform as expected.
AVERAGE SELLING PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MAY DECREASE, WHICH MAY HARM OUR GROSS MARGINS.
13
The entertainment and film industry is heavily dependent on the state of the economy. Should economic factors like employment and gross domestic product be lower than expected, it may put a crimp on the demand for our products. Should demand for our products not meet certain minimum levels, we may not be able to sustain our business, and you may lose all your investment.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding management's plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our planned entry into our service business. The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this prospectus include or relate to, among other things, (a) our projected profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our ability to obtain and retain sufficient capital for future operations, and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found under "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and "Description of Business," as well as in this prospectus generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" and matters described in this prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus may not in fact occur.
The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on the assumptions that we will be able to continue our business strategies on a timely basis, that we will attract customers, that there will be no materially adverse competitive conditions under which our business operates, that our sole officer and director will remain employed as such, and that our forecasts accurately anticipate market demand. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In addition, as disclosed elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and operations, which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Increases in the cost of our services, or in our general or administrative expenses, or the occurrence of extraordinary events, could cause actual results to vary materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements.
14
Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and subject to periodic revisions in order to reflect actual business conditions and developments. The impact of such conditions and developments could lead us to alter our marketing, capital investment or other expenditures and may adversely affect the results of our operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this prospectus, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The offering price per share is $0.10. The following table sets forth the potential net proceeds and the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, respectively, of the securities offered for sale by the Company.
IF 25% OF IF 50% OF IF 75% OF IF 100% OF SHARES SOLD SHARES SOLD SHARES SOLD SHARES SOLD ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- NET PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING $7,500 $20,000 $32,500 $45,000
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The offering price per share is $0.10. The net proceeds in the table above assume $5,000 in costs associated with this offering.
The funds raised through this offering will be used to complete the business and marketing plan. If less than the maximum offering funds are raised, the proceeds will first be used for essential business operations such as SEC filings with the remaining amount allocated to completing the business and marketing plan. The following outlines the Company's key objectives in priority order and cost if less than all of the shares are sold:
Since our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will not be taking any salary nor charging the Company anything for the use of his facilities, the entire amount of the net proceeds received will go towards the production of “THE FACTORY.”
15
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
As there is no established public market for our shares, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarilydetermined by Sasani and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.
The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.10 per share. This price is significantly greater than the price paid by the company's sole officer and director for common equity since the company's inception on August 9, 2012 of $.00001.
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
Purchasers of our common stock in the rights offering will experience an immediate and substantial dilution of the net tangible book value of the shares purchased. At Septermber, 2012, we had a net tangible book value of approximately $50 , or $.0001 per share of our common stock. After giving effect to the sale of shares of our common stock in the this offering and assuming the sale of the total gross amount of shares for gross proceeds of $50,000, and after deducting estimated transaction and offering expenses of $5,000, the pro forma net tangible book value at September 30, 2012, attributable to common shareholders would have been $ , or $ per share of our common stock. This amount represents an immediate dilution to purchasers in the rights offering of $ . The following table illustrates this per share dilution.
THE OFFERING BY THE COMPANY
Sasani is registering 500,000 shares of its common stock for offer and sale.
There is currently no active trading market for our common stock, and such a market may not develop or be sustained. If and when we become effective with the SEC, we plan to develop a trading market. In order to do so, we have to retain an authorized OTC Bulletin Board market maker. If we are successful in securing a market maker, they will file Form 211 with FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). If FINRA approves the Company's 211, our stock will be quoted on the OTCBB.
16
There can be no assurances that we will be able to retain an authorized OTC BB market maker and furthermore, there are no assurances that we will be approved by FINRA. At the date hereof, we are not aware that any market maker has any such intention.
All of the shares registered herein will become effective for sale to investors. The company will not offer the shares through a broker-dealer or anyone affiliated with a broker-dealer.
NOTE: As of the date of this prospectus, our sole officer and director, Mr. Hamid Kayani, owns 5,000,000 common shares, which are subject to Rule 144 restrictions. There is currently one (1) shareholder of our common stock.
The company is hereby registering 500,000 common shares. The price per share is $0.10.
In the event the company receives payment for the sale of their shares, Sasani will receive all of the proceeds from such sales. Sasani is bearing all expenses in connection with the registration of the shares of the company.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are offering the shares on a "self-underwritten" basis directly through Mr. Kayani our executive officer and director named herein, who will not receive any commissions or other remuneration of any kind for selling shares in this offering, except for the reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the common stock. The offering will conclude at the earlier of (i) when all 500,000 shares of common stock have been sold, or (ii) 90 days after this registration statement becomes effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This offering is a self-underwritten offering, which means that it does not involve the participation of an underwriter to market, distribute or sell the shares offered under this prospectus. We will sell shares on a continuous basis. We reasonably expect the amount of securities registered pursuant to this offering to be offered and sold within ninety (90) days from this initial effective date of this registration.
In connection with his selling efforts in the offering, Mr. Kayani will not register as broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the "safe harbor" provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer's securities. Hamid Kayani is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. Hamid Kayani will not be compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Mr. Kayani is not and has not been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and is not within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, Mr. Kayani will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for us or on our behalf. Mr. Kayani has not participated in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or(iii).
5,000,000 common shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The company is registering an additional 500,000 shares of its common stock at the price of $0.10 per share. The Company will sell the securities in $100 increments.
17
Sasani will receive all proceeds from the sale of the shares by the company. The price per share is $0.10. However, Sasani common stock may never be quoted on the OTCBB or listed on any exchange.
PENNY STOCK RULES
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:
- Contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both Public offerings and secondary trading;
- Contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
- Contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
- Contains a toll-free number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
- Defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
- Contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
- The bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
- The compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
- The number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market
- Monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
The company's shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by, and subject to, the discretion of the company. Further, the company will not offer their shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, or agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares sold by the company may be sold occasionally in one or more transactions, at an offering price that is fixed at $0.01 per share.
The shares may not be offered or sold in certain jurisdictions unless they are registered or otherwise comply with the applicable securities laws of such jurisdictions by exemption, qualification or otherwise. We intend to sell the shares only in the states in which this offering has been qualified or an exemption from the registration requirements is available, and purchases of shares may be made only in those states.
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.
Sasani will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states).
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings and to our knowledge; no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by any party.
BUSINESS
Company Summary
Sasani is a development stage company and was incorporated in Delaware on August 9, 2012. Sasani intends to introduce the finest elements of cinema in to the blockbuster movie experience. In doing so, we will create timeless works of art that will be appreciated by a wider audience. Raising the standards of originality and creativity in the motion picture industry, while serving as a model for our peers and future film makers is important to us.
We are an independent motion picture production and distribution company engaged in the development, acquisition, financing, production, and licensing of theatrical motion pictures for exhibition in domestic (i.e., the United States and Canada) and foreign theatrical markets, and for subsequent worldwide release in other forms of media, including home video and pay and free television.
Sasani plans to generate a loyal fan base through the production of high-quality films. Additionally, they are looking to mitigate the high cost of film-making through the use of relatively unknown but talented actors, social media to create “buzz” and simplified yet elegant sets. The Company hopes to show its films at various festivals (e.g- Cannes, Sundance) to get broader appeal and ultimately have the high quality of their films bring in waves of audience. There is a large void available for a platform to create, target, deliver and provide high quality independent films and Sasani believes that the market can be exploited relatively cheaply.
Plans for the company’s first film, “THE FACTORY have already been put into place. The script has been written and the locations scouted. All that remains is the financing. The script is timeless and will appeal to a wide range of audiences in an effort to entertain and enlighten. Unlike the average movie of today, this film is magical as it speaks the unspoken and universal language of emotion. Every shot is designed to engage the audience with the intent to create memories long after the theater “experience.” Furthermore, beyond the excitement and the range of emotions that the film evokes there is also a real and relevant social message. THE FACTORY raises awareness about marginalized worldly issues that affect us all. The film causes us to reexamine the state of our society and to consider what we can do as individuals to make the world a better place while remembering that “There is no place like America.”
Over the next twelve (12) months, the Company has three primary phases: (i) Pre-production, (ii) production, and (iii) post-production revenues.
Phase I: Pre-Production
The Company will use the proceeds from this offering to select the personnel of “THE FACTORY.” The script has been written and the locations scouted. Mr, Kayani will act as Director and star of the film. The first use of funds from the original raise will be used to identify the talent for the film. This will require interviews and screen tests. This can be funded with the funds raised through this offering.
Afterwards, the Company will need to secure additional capital to fund the production of the film. The Company plans to raise this additional capital through another equity offering sometime later.
Phase II: Production
Once all of the pre- production logistics are completed, we will then go into production. Actual costs of production for the film include the payment of actors, the contracting of cameramen and lighting, the purchase of wardrobe, make-up and props. The cost will be dependent upon how much we raise in this and subsequent offerings. We believe we need a minimum of $200,000 to $250,000 to complete a fim that will be salable for production. We estimate that production time will last approximately six months to one year. There will be a team in the United States and another in Pakistan. Besides Mr. Kayani, there will be no travel between the two countries and the film will be shot out of sequence. Mr. Kayani is a Pakistani native and is well known in cinematic circles there and has already arranged for actors and shots.
Phase III: Post-Production
Associated with any film enterprise, there are always expenses associated with editing, digital storage and optical. We estimate these expenses will total approximately $250,000 but are also dependent upon the amount raised in the offering.

Market Analysis Summary
According to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), in 2011, the global box office reached $32.6 billion, an increase of 3% over 2010. This growth was due entirely to the international market, especially China, where growth increased 35%. The MPAA also reports that in United States dollar terms, the foreign film market has increased 35% over the past five years.
We believe that the rising demand for international films will continue.
We plan to capitalize on this trend by putting forth films that will be popular not just in the United States but internationally.
The motion picture industry is highly competitive, with much of a film's success depending on the skill of its distribution strategy. As an independent producer, Sasani Films will negotiate with a distributor Studios like Fox, Sony, Paramount, Disney and Universal. This means that a film can be seen by large numbers of people at any given time. Sasani Films intends to secure a distribution deal with (for example, Warner Brothers who distributed ‘Slumdog millionaire’). The intention is to secure as many screens as possible in as many cities, with the greatest advertising campaign which will maximize public awareness of the film and ultimately lead the general public to the cinemas. Beyond traditional distribution channels THE FACTORY will utilized technology via internet ads and viral marketing such as social media networks and text messaging awareness campaigns.
Marketing Strategy
DOMESTIC DISTRIBUTION
The distribution of a motion picture involves the licensing of the picture in both the U.S. and Canada, and the foreign marketplace. A domestic distributor(s) will license the following rights: theatrical exhibition; non-theatrical, (e.g., airlines, hotels, cruises); home DVD (including Blu-Ray and now 3D Blu-Ray); cable (free and pay), pay-per-view; and DVD-on-demand and television (terrestrial and satellite). Additional ancillary markets include merchandising, e.g., games, toys, clothing, and music or soundtrack rights. It is commonly thought that about 40% of all revenue derived from the sale of a film comes from the domestic market, and the remaining 60% from foreign territories. This is a very sweeping average as some films have performed far better to an American audience than a foreign audience. THE FACTORY will connect with U.S. and the global market place thus increasing the reach of the film. Although the major studios have long-standing relationships with the large theatre chains and DVD stores, exhibitors and DVD companies will "book" the films that people desire to see. Public demand for a specific motion picture product may translate into profit for a film. Even if a film is not profitable in the domestic arena, often times, it may recoup its costs and earn a gross profit in the foreign market. The film may also profit or recoup costs over time via E-commerce vendors such as Amazon.com or iTunes or any such entity in domestic and foreign markets. In relation to this point, THE FACTORY will be an instant classic creating a buzz in the digital realm while gaining a cult following almost immediately after the release.
FOREIGN EXHIBITION
Much of the projected growth in the worldwide film business comes from the international markets. International distributor revenues may well climb over $10 billion in the next few years. Foreign distribution is very similar to domestic, except that fees are slightly higher than in the domestic arena. In fact, some films perform far better in the foreign marketplace than in domestic, depending on the type of film. For example, it is quite possible that a film will do extremely well in the UK, Australian and other English speaking markets because of its content. THE FACTORY is a film that transcends all markets thus making it a solid investment strategy, targeting overall profitability. Sasani has developed the following business strategy to address the mobile advertising market opportunity:

The motion picture industry is highly competitive, with much of a film's success depending on the skill of its distribution strategy. As an independent producer, Sasani Films will negotiate with a distributor Studios like Fox, Sony, Paramount, Disney and Universal. This means that a film can be seen by large numbers of people at any given time. Sasani Films intends to secure a distribution deal with (for example, Warner Brothers who distributed ‘Slumdog Millionaire’). The intention is to secure as many screens as possible in as many cities, with the greatest advertising campaign which will maximize public awareness of the film and ultimately lead the general public to the cinemas. Beyond traditional distribution channels THE FACTORY will utilized technology via internet ads and viral marketing such as social media networks and text messaging awareness campaigns.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: "believe", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "intend", "project" and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY ORGANIZED TO DEVELOP MOBILE ADVERTISING SERVICES
We have not yet generated or realized any mobile advertising revenues from business operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve (12) months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin marketing our service to ecommerce customers. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than revenues generated from the proceeds of loans we undertake.
From inception to September 30, 2012, the company's business operations have primarily been focused on developing our feature length film productions and raising capital.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
THERE IS NO HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT US UPON WHICH TO BASE AN EVALUATION OF OUR PERFORMANCE. BIGCLIX, INC. WAS INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE ON AUGUST 9, 2012; WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY THE COMPANY WILL DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND MARKET MOBILE ADVERTISING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. WE HAVE NOT GENERATED ANY REVENUES FROM OUR OPERATIONS. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO RISKS INHERENT IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, INCLUDING THE FINANCIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIMITED CAPITAL RESOURCES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES (SEE "RISK FACTORS"). TO BECOME PROFITABLE AND COMPETITIVE, WE MUST DEVELOP THE BUSINESS AND MARKETING PLAN, EXECUTE THE PLAN AND ESTABLISH SALES AND CO-DEVELOPMENT RELATIONSHIPS WITH CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS.
25
PLAN OF OPERATION
Over the 12 month period starting upon the effective date of this registration statement, the Company must raise capital in order to complete the Business and Marketing Plan and to commence its execution. The Company anticipates that the business and marketing plan will be completed within two to three months after the offering is completed. After the business and marketing plan are completed, the company plans on using consultants and contractors to commence the product development strategy. During the initial implementation of our development strategy, the Company intends to hire independent consultants, and contractors to develop, prototype, various components of product platform. The Company expects product development to last between six (6) and nine (9) months.
Since inception to September 30, 2012, Sasani has incurred a total of $2,361 of start-up costs. The Company has not generated any revenue from business operations. All proceeds currently held by the company are the result of the sale of common stock to its officers. The Company does not have any contractual arrangement with Mr. Hamid Kayani to fund the Company on an on-going basis for either operating capital or a loan. The CEO may elect to fund the Company as he did initially, however there are no assurances that he will in the future.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of the date of this registration statement, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations. For the period ended September 30, 2010, Sasani films. issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director for cash proceeds of $50 at $0.00002 per share.
We anticipate needing $500,000 in order to execute our business plan over the next twelve (12) months, which includes completing the business plan (estimated at $250,000), completing the product platform and services including prototypes, and identifying the necessary resources to implement our plan. We anticipate the work will require four part time resources for marketing, product design and technical work that will cost approximately $250,000 each. The balance of $250,000 for general working capital purposes, including accounting, legal, travel, and entertainment. However, the available cash is not sufficient to allow us to commence full execution of our business plan. Based on our success of raising additional capital over the next twelve (12) months, we anticipate employing various consultants and contractors to commence the development strategy for the product prototypes. Until the Business and Marketing plan are completed, we are not able to quantify with any certainty any planned capital expenditures including the hiring of consultants and contractors. The only planned capital expenditure is the public company costs. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has no firm commitments for any capital expenditures.
Our business expansion will require additional capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or debt. We anticipate that the Company will seek this financing from individual investors.
Through September 30, 2012, we have incurred a total of $2,361 in professional fees for audit expenses
26
To date, we have managed to keep our monthly cash flow requirement low for two reasons. First, our sole officer has agreed not to draw a salary until a minimum of $1,000,000 in funding is obtained or until we have achieved $250,000 in gross revenues. Second, we have been able to keep our operating expenses to a minimum by operating in space owned by our sole officer and are only paying the direct expenses associated with our business operations.
Given our low monthly cash flow requirement and the compensation arrangement with our sole officer, management believes that, while our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and assuming that we do not commence our anticipated operations until sufficient financial resources are available, we believe we will be able to meet our obligations for at least the next twelve months.
In the early stages of our company, we will need cash for completing the pre-production and production parts of THE FACTORY. We anticipate that during the first year in order to execute upon our business plan to any meaningful degree, we would need to spend a minimum of $250,000 on such endeavors. If we are unable to raise the funds partially through this offering we will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to keep costs from being more than these estimated amounts or that we will be able to raise such funds. Even if we sell all shares offered through this registration statement, we will still need to seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to seek a buyer for our business or another entity with which we could create a joint venture. If all of these alternatives fail, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues.
The Company has entered into no contractual commitment agreements.
MANAGEMENT
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our sole officer and director will serve until his successor is elected and qualified. Our officers are elected by the board of directors to a term of one (1) year and serve until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until they are removed from office. The board of directors has no nominating, auditing or compensation committees.
The name, address, age and position of our president, secretary/treasurer, and director and vice president is set forth below:
Name and Address Age Position(s) ---------------- --- ----------- Hamid Kayani 57 , Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and sole member of the Board of Directors
The person named above has held his offices/positions since the inception of our company and is expected to hold his offices/positions until the next annual meeting of our stockholders.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating Committee or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the entire board as a whole. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board of Directors believes that the establishment of committees of the Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given our relative size and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. Our sole director is not an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an "audit committee financial expert" is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:
o understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
o is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
o has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
o understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
o understands audit committee functions.
Our Board of Directors is comprised of an individual who was integral to our formation and who is involved in our day to day operations. While we would prefer our director be an audit committee financial expert, the individual who has been key to our development has professional background in finance or accounting. As with most small, early stage companies, until such time as our company further develops its business, achieves a stronger revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors and officers insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our Board of Directors to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include "independent" directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our Board of Directors.
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS AND WE HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, IN THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.
Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Our Board of Directors is comprised of one individual who is also our executive officer. Our executive officer makes decisions on all significant corporate matters such as the approval of terms of the compensation of our executive officer and the oversight of the accounting functions.
We have not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors as we presently do not have any independent directors. When we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, we will establish an audit and other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if our Board of Directors included independent directors and if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including, without limitation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size.

BACKGROUND OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Mr. Hamid Kayani, PRESIDENT, CEO, DIRECTOR, SECRETARY/TREASURER
Hamid Kayani is of rich cultural heritage. His family descends from the Sasanian rulers of the Persian Empire. Even so, in the 1940's his parents migrated from Iran to Pakistan and raised six children in all. His father was a sculptor who later became involved in the movie business as a producer and distributer at a time when the Pakistani film industry was in full bloom. His mother's work was complimentary as she committed to raising the children at home. After graduating from Dennis ( American high school, Rawalpindi Pakistan) in 1971, an institution for the most privileged, he decided to pursue a degree. His college career began immediately and in 1975 Kayani received a Bachelor of Arts (BA) from Universal College, an international establishment with a diverse student body, founded in the UK, Kayani’s education truly began during his childhood which paralleled a vibrant renaissance. Faiz Ahmad Faiz was a Pakistani intellectual, poet, and one of the most famous poets of the Urdu language. Faiz was the first Asian poet to receive the Lenin Peace Prize, awarded by the Soviet Union in 1963. He was also nominated for the Nobel Prize shortly before his death in 1984. Faiz Ahmad Faiz said that Kayani is a true artistic talent, full of vision and ambition. As a boy he trailed along in the shadows of his father and was exposed to the many faces of the entertainment business, he absorbed those experiences only to follow his wide eyed curiosity. He became an official member of the industry at age ten when worked as a child actor. Later he was the voice of Azad Kashmir Trerkhel radio station Rawalpindi Pakistan. He grew in to his acting career quite nicely as he starred in television sitcoms and played the leading man in many well known theatrical productions such as Love Changes the World, all held in the famous Liaquat Hall Rawalpindi Pakistan. By the time he starred in motion pictures he had gained a considerable amount of technical understanding and creative insight which he later used for films. Kayani travelled the globe and eventually moved to New York, married and settled down in 1985. Armed with his ambition and encouraged by his success in Italy, Kayani curbed is acting and film making talents and made a full transition into the fashion industry. He started his clothing line, Kayani Uomo, in 1989. However, he was always reminded of his true passion for story telling via cinema. One afternoon in the fall of 2009 a gentleman walked into Kayani’s outfit in search of a new look. Kayani greeted him with a warm welcome and soon after the man began to share his story. That story immediately inspired Kayani to return to his true passion and write a script. Coming full circle, we find his latest project, THE FACTORY.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the total number of shares owned beneficially by our sole officer and director, and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares. The stockholder listed below has direct ownership of his shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares.

For the period ended September 30, 2012, a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our sole officer and director, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Under Rule 144, a shareholder can sell up to 1% of total outstanding shares every three months in brokers' transactions. Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
Our sole officer and director will continue to own the majority of our common stock after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold. Since she will continue control our company after the offering, investors in this offering will be unable to change the course of our operations. Thus, the shares we are offering lack the value normally attributable to voting rights. This could result in a reduction in value of the shares you own because of their ineffective voting power. None of our common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants, or securities convertible into common stock.
The company is hereby registering 500,000 of its common shares, in addition to the 5,000,000 shares currently issued and outstanding. The price per share is $0.10 (please see "Plan of Distribution" below).

SASANI FILMS CORP. (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
Earnings (Loss) per Share -------------------------
The Company adopted ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no diluted shares outstanding.

The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown
Income Taxes ------------
The Company adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes, at its inception. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of September 30, 2012.
Advertising -----------
The Company will expense advertising as incurred. The advertising since inception has been zero.
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 revenue and expenses during
SASANI FILMS CORP. (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
Revenue and Cost Recognition ----------------------------
The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
Related Parties ---------------
Related parties, which can be a corporation, individual, investor or another entity are considered to be related if the party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. The Company has these relationships.
Property --------
The Company does not own any real estate or other properties. The Company's office is located at 153 West 27th Street, Suite 507 ,NYC, NY 10001.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements -----------------------------------------
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162," ("SFAS 168"). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for nongovernmental entities. The Codification does not change GAAP. Instead, it takes the thousands of individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into approximately ninety accounting topics, and displays all topics using a consistent structure. Contents in each topic are further organized first by subtopic, then section and finally paragraph. The paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the Codification involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the topic, subtopic, section and paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with "FASB ASC," where ASC stands for Accounting Standards Codification. Changes to the ASC subsequent to June 30, 2009 are referred to as Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU").
In conjunction with the issuance of SFAS 168, the FASB also issued its first Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-1, "Topic 105 -Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("ASU 2009-1") which includes SFAS 168 in its entirety as a transition to the ASC.
ASU 2009-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations but will change the referencing system for accounting standards.
As of September 30, 2012, all citations to the various SFAS' have been
eliminated and will be replaced with FASB ASC as suggested by the FASB in future interim and annual financial statements.

SASANI FILMS CORP. (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
As of September 30, 2012, the Company does not expect any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
ASC Topic 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company's opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset.
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for financial reporting of income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any changes in tax rates or laws are recognized in the period when such changes are enacted.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company has $2,023 in gross deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry-forwards. A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset these deferred tax assets because the Company's management believes future realization of the related income tax benefits is uncertain. Accordingly, the net provision for income taxes is zero for the period August 9, 2012 (inception) to September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,361 available to offset future taxable income through 2030. The difference between the tax provision at the statutory federal income tax rate on August 31, 2012 and the tax provision attributable to loss before income taxes is as follows:
For the period August 9, 2012 (inception) through September 30, 2012 ------------------- Statutory federal income taxes ........ 34.0% State taxes, net of federal benefits .. 5.0% Valuation allowance ................... (39.0%) ------------------- Income tax rate ....................... - ===================
SASANI FILMS CORP. (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had estimated net loss carry forwards of approximately $2,361 which expires through its tax year ending 2030. Utilization of these net operating loss carry forwards may be limited in accordance with IRCD Section 382 in the event of certain shifts in ownership.

NOTE 6. GOING CONCERN
As of September 30, 2012, the accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern in the development stage, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock purchase or redemption in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies (i) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (ii) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys’ fees, but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the performance of the person’s duties to the corporation, unless a court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director who willfully and negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered on the books containing the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors at the time the action occurred or immediately after the absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts. Article Tenth of the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that the Registrant’s directors shall not be personally liable to the Registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
The Registrant’s By-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The indemnification provisions contained in the Registrant’s By-laws are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of the indemnification provisions of the Registrant’s By-laws will not adversely affect any right or protection thereunder of any indemnitee in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. The indemnification agreements are intended to provide the maximum protection permitted by Delaware law with respect to indemnification of directors. The Registrant may also enter into similar agreements with certain of its officers who are not also directors. The effect of these provisions is to permit indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Registrant also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
i. If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
