Record Date
You may vote all shares that you owned as of January 7, 2013, which is the Record Date for the Annual Meeting. The Company has one class of stock outstanding, common stock, valued at $0.001 par value per share. The Company is currently authorized to issue up to seventy-five million (75,000,000) shares of common stock. The Company is not currently authorized to issue shares of preferred stock. As of January 7, 2013, there are 57,053,138 shares of common stock outstanding held of record by approximately 170 shareholders. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the meeting.
Ownership of Shares
If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of record of these shares, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the holder of record, you have the right to give your proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or through a bank or other holder of record, you hold the shares in “street name,” and your broker, bank or other holder of record is sending these proxy materials to you. As a holder in street name, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by filling out a voting instruction form that accompanies your proxy materials. Regardless of how you hold your shares, we invite you to attend the Annual Meeting.
How to Vote
Your Vote Is Important. We encourage you to vote promptly. You may vote in the following ways:
By Mail: If you are a holder of record, you can vote by marking, dating, and signing your Proxy Card and returning it by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in street name, please complete and mail the voting instruction card.
At the Annual Meeting: If you vote your shares now it will not limit your right to change your vote at the Annual Meeting if you attend in person. If you hold your shares in street name, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record if you wish to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.
All shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the meeting. If you sign and return your Proxy Card without any voting instructions, your shares will be voted as the Board of Directors recommends.
Revocation Of Proxies
You can revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted if you: (1) send a written notice to our Secretary indicating that you want to revoke your proxy; or (2) deliver to our Secretary a duly executed proxy (or voting instructions if you hold your shares in street name) bearing a later date, which revokes all previous proxies; or (3) attend the Annual Meeting in person, give written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Annual Meeting prior to the voting of your proxy and vote your shares in person, although your attendance at the meeting will not by itself revoke your proxy.
Quorum and Required Vote
Quorum: We will have a quorum and will be able to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting if the holders of a majority of the votes that shareholders are entitled to cast are present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.
Vote Required for Proposals:
1. | The proposed acquisition of Lot78 by the Company, as contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
2. | The election of one director, Eden Clark, to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of the Company or until her respective successor is duly qualified and elected, or until the Closing, requires a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
3. | The ratification of the appointment of MaloneBailey as the registered independent public accountant of the Company for the year ending July 31, 2013 or, subject to the approval of Proposal 4 herein, for the year ending September 30, 2013, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
4. | The amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to change the Company’s fiscal year end from July 31 to September 30 upon the Closing requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
5. | The amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to amend Article I, Paragraph 11 entitled “Vote or Consent of Shareholders” in its entirety upon the Closing requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
6. | The election of one director, Mr. Oliver Amhurst, to take office immediately upon the Closing, and to hold such office until the next Annual Meeting of the Company or until his respective successor is duly qualified and elected requires a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
7. | The election of Mr. Oliver Amhurst as the sole executive officer of the Company to take office immediately upon the Closing requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
8. | The amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change the name of the Company to Lot78, Inc. upon the Closing requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. |
How We Count Votes: In determining whether we have a quorum, we count abstentions and broker non-votes as present and entitled to vote.
In counting votes on the proposals:
• | Because directors are elected by a plurality, this means that the nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will have any effect in determining the outcome of the election of directors. | ||
• |
In tabulating whether the other proposals are approved, it should be noted that abstentions are counted in tabulations of the votes cast and thus have the same effect as a vote for a proposal, whereas broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.
|
Dissenter's Rights
Under Nevada law, shareholders are not entitled to dissenter's rights of appraisal on any proposal referred to herein.
Cumulative Voting
With respect to voting on the election of directors, shareholders shall not be entitled to cumulate votes.
Solicitation
The Company estimates that the total cost of solicitation will be approximately $10,000. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Proxies may be solicited by the Company’s directors, officers and employees, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone, facsimile or telegram.
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY
Corporate Governance Practices and Policies
Our Board of Directors has been carefully following the corporate governance developments that have been taking place as a result of the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules adopted thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other corporate governance recommendations. Our Board addresses, among other things, the Board’s composition, qualifications and responsibilities, director education and shareholder communication with directors.
Nominating Procedures
The Board will consider candidates for the Board of Directors from any reasonable source, including shareholder recommendations. The Board will not evaluate candidates differently based on who has made the proposal. The Board has the authority under its charter to hire and pay a fee to consultants or search firms to assist in the process of identifying and evaluating candidates. No such consultants or search firms have been used to date and, accordingly, no fees have been paid to consultants or search firms in the past fiscal year. The Board will consider many factors when considering candidates for election to the Board of Directors, including that the proper skills and experiences are represented on the Board of Directors and its committees and that the composition of the Board of Directors and each such committee satisfies applicable legal requirements. Depending upon the current needs of the Board of Directors, certain factors may be weighed more or less heavily by the Board.
Shareholders who wish to suggest qualified candidates should write to the Board at 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada 89703, specifying the name of the candidates and stating in detail the qualifications of such persons for consideration by the Board. A written statement from the candidate consenting to be named as a candidate and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director should accompany any such recommendation.
Shareholder Communications
The Board of Directors encourages shareholders to send communications to the Board or to individual members of the Board. Such communications, whether by letter, e-mail or telephone, should be directed to the Chairman of the Company, who will forward them to the intended recipients. However, unsolicited advertisements or invitations to conferences or promotional material, in the discretion of the Chairman or her designee, may not be forwarded to the directors.
If a shareholder wishes to communicate to the Board about a concern relating to the Company’s financial statements, accounting practices or internal controls, the concern should be submitted in writing to the Board in care of the Chairman at the Company’s headquarters. If the concern relates to the Company’s governance practices, business ethics or corporate conduct, the concern likewise should be submitted in writing to the Chairman at the Company’s headquarters address. If the shareholder is unsure as to which category his or her concern relates, he or she may communicate it to any one of the directors in care of the Company’s Secretary. The Company’s “whistleblower” policy prohibits the Company or any of its employees from retaliating or taking any adverse action against anyone for raising a concern. If a shareholder or employee nonetheless prefers to raise his or her concern in a confidential or anonymous manner, the concern may be directed to the Chairman at the Company’s headquarters.
Shareholders who wish to contact our Board members either individually or as a group may do so by writing to c/o Corporate Secretary, Bold Energy, Inc., 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada 89703, or by telephone at (775) 333-1198 specifying whether the communication is directed to the entire Board or to a particular director. Shareholder letters are screened by Company personnel to filter out improper or irrelevant topics, such as solicitations, and to confirm that that such communications relate to matters that are within the scope of responsibilities of the Board or a Committee.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(e) during the year ended July 31, 2012, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended July 31, 2012, and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended July 31, 2012, our executive officers and directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted an informal Code of Ethics that applies to our officers and directors, which we feel is sufficient at this time given that we are still in the start-up, development stage and have no employees other than our officers and directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not presently have a separately designated standing audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. The functions of those committees are currently undertaken by our Board of Directors. Because we have only one director, we believe that the creation of these committees, at this time, would be cumbersome and constitute more form over substance.
Audit Committee
We have not established a separately designated standing audit committee. However, the Company intends to establish a new audit committee of the Board of Directors that shall consist of independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee shall at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Related Party Transactions and Director Independence
Currently, there are no contemplated transactions that the Company may enter into with our officers, directors or affiliates. If any such transactions are contemplated, we will file such disclosure in a timely manner with the Commission on the proper form so that any such transaction is available for the public to view.
The Company has no formal written employment agreement or other contracts with our current officers and director and there is no assurance that the services to be provided by them will be available for any specific length of time in the future. Ms. Eden Clark anticipates devoting a minimum of ten to fifteen percent of her available time to the Company’s affairs. The amounts of compensation and other terms of any full time employment arrangements would be determined, if and when, such arrangements become necessary.
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
According to the NASDAQ definition, Eden Clark is not an independent director because she is also an executive officer of the Company.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
We have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separated or combined, however, we have traditionally determined that, due to the small size of the Company and the nature of its operations, it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine these roles.
Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our Company’s assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our Company and our Company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Board’s tolerance for risk. While the Board oversees our Company, our Company’s management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this structure is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.
Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance
The Board of Directors held a total of three general meetings during the the Company’s last fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. No director attended fewer than 100% of all meetings of the Board of Directors during this period. The Company has no committees. We do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by Directors at annual meetings of shareholders.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Bold Energy, Inc. (“Bold,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 27, 2008. We are a development stage company that intends to develop a wide range of loyalty programs based on a system of “Global Club points” that are awarded for purchases made in associated establishments. The Global Club is a loyalty program premised on a novel, but simple concept: for every purchase made at an associated establishment, the Global Club cardholder will be awarded Global Club points to be printed on a membership card. These Global Club points could be exchanged for products, such as video-games, gift cards, trips, discounts, etc., according to the number of Global Club points on the card. As Global Club cardholders accrue points, they qualify to receive better prizes. We intend to partner with a wide assortment of retailers so that Global Club cardholders will be able to collect points on their everyday purchases from a broad selection of establishments. We have continuously attempted to recruit a large number of retail outlets to become participating Global Club partners, such as major grocery store chains, gas stations, restaurants, electronic stores, travel agencies, etc. We have also planned to advertise Global Club to retail outlets in various trade magazines as part of our sales campaign. Our planned website will also play a central role in marketing and recruiting customers.
As the Company has not been successful in implementing its Global Club points business model on a large-scale basis, we recently began pursuing alternative business opportunities and potential acquisition partners. Accordingly, and pursuant to the proposed acquisition of Lot78 as contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement as set forth in Proposal 1 herein, the Company aspires to shift its business focus to the luxury high-end fashion and apparel industry. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Lot78 shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company shall carry on the business of Lot78 as its primary business.
Description of Property
Since our inception, we have maintained executive offices at 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89703. The office and general expenses that were associated with leasing these offices for the year ending July 31, 2012 was $8,304. With the acquisition of Lot78, our executive offices will remain the same. We believe that these facilities will be adequate to meet our current requirements. We do not own any real property.
Legal Proceedings
There are no pending legal proceedings to which Bold or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their properties is subject.
Description of Bold’s Securities
Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, 57,053,138 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and we have zero shares of our common stock reserved for options, warrants and other commitments. For the effects of the transaction on these numbers, see the section entitled, "Proposed Acquisition of Lot78".
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by our shareholders. Holders of our common stock have no cumulative voting rights. They are entitled to share ratably any dividends that may be declared from time to time by the board of directors in its discretion from funds legally available for dividends. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase our common stock. There are no conversion rights or sinking fund provisions for the common stock.
Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Market For Common Equity And Related Shareholder Matters
There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “BOLD.OB”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
The following table sets forth the high and low closing prices quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the last two fiscal years, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not be reflective of actual transactions:
Fiscal Year Ending July 31, 2012 | |||

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, 57,053,138 issued and outstanding shares of common stock were held by a total of 170 shareholders of record.
No cash dividends were paid on our shares of common stock during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011. We have not paid any cash dividends since our inception and do not foresee declaring any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. On March 24, 2010, we effectuated a 150-for-1 forward stock split and on March 31, 2011, we effectuated a 1-for-25 reverse stock split.
BOLD'S REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
There are several reasons why our Board is recommending that you approve the proposed acquisition of Lot78. Recently, we made the decision to seek other business opportunities and potential acquisition partners. The reason for this decision was that we felt that the Global Club points business was going to require substantial working capital financing when it reached critical mass. Many of the initiatives that we have developed will require substantial amounts of incremental financing. The Board of Directors believes that it would be highly unlikely for us to fund the working capital requirements and cash operating losses from sources other than equity or convertible debt. Our Board has concluded that the acquisition of Lot78 will likely make it easier for us to raise funds in the future. Bold’s post-acquisition business will be devoted primarily to Lot78's business. The Board considers this to be an area of potential high growth, which may attract equity investors more easily than our current business model.
ABOUT LOT78
Overview
Lot78 originated in London in 2008 and designs, markets, distributes, and sells apparel under the brand name "Lot78" to fashion-conscious consumers on six continents, including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America. Lot78 seeks to be a trend-setting leader in the design, marketing, distribution and sale of luxury street apparel. Its current collection is a full men’s and women’s contemporary ready-to-wear line which includes leather jackets, t-shirts, sweats, knitwear, accessories, jeans, chinos, home ware, and wool coats. Lot78 operates in three distinct but integrated segments: Wholesale, Consumer Direct and Core Services. The Wholesale segment sells product to industry-leading high-end global department stores, specialty retailers and boutiques. The Consumer Direct segment consists of e-commerce sales and will be expanded as Lot78 opens branded retail stores. The Core Services segment provides product design, production, distribution, marketing and other overhead resources to the other segments. Over the past four years, Lot78 has developed a recognizable brand, expanded its product offerings, and initiated a growth strategy to expand both its Wholesale and Consumer Direct segment sales.
Lot78 markets its products to domestic and international wholesale customers by participating in industry trade shows and by displaying its collections in various showrooms. Wholesale customers can be found in six continents and include specialty stores, major department stores, and off-price retailers. Lot78’s products are sold both in the United States and internationally in leading high-end, premium stores, which include Barney’s, Harrod’s, and Bloomingdales, as well as in various boutique and specialty stores. They also sell their products at Lot78’s traditional brick-and-mortar store “The Lot on Ledbury,” within the heart of Notting Hill, London, where the brand originated, and through Lot78’s branded website and additional web retailers, such as Net-A-Porter.com.
The Lot78 strategy is to build brand recognition by marketing its products to fashion-conscious consumers, particularly in the 20-35 year old demographic, who aspire to or actively maintain a luxury-oriented lifestyle. Furthermore, Lot78 seeks to build brand recognition that is characterized by unique style, timelessness, utility and quality, as opposed to merely following prevailing fads or trends that do not have the same degree of potential growth or longevity over time. A close and influential network of global contract manufacturers has greatly aided the expansion of the Lot78 collection, which started with four men’s leather jackets and developed to become a full men’s and women’s ready-to-wear fashion and apparel line. Lot78 utilizes contractors located in Portugal, Bhutan, and Italy for the manufacture of its products. Its garments are sourced, designed and manufactured in countries all over the world by people with the unique strengths, skills, and craftsmanship to create the premium-quality and reliable products that are in high demand with Lot78’s targeted affluent demographics. The majority of production is based in the Venetian region of Italy, whose legacy befits Lot78’s aesthetic heritage and focus on luxurious quality and innovative style.
Lot78 maintains and exercises control over advertising and marketing activities, which allows the company to set the tone for integrity, consistency and direction of the Lot78 brand image worldwide. Lot78’s management actively utilizes guerilla marketing campaigns, digital media and communication, involvement in the art community, and philanthropic acts to continually develop Lot78’s brand identity.
Brand and Products
Since 2008, the Lot78 brand has developed an androgynous, contemporary image, which can aptly be described as “refined grunge”: a marriage of luxury and urbanity. Lot78 believes that the strength of the Lot78 brand name and image is derived from its emphasis on combining the brand’s London-based roots with its Italian-inspired construction. Lot78’s dedication to quality, its utilization of Italian production and craftsmanship processes, and its mastery of London-based urban and street-wear cultural imagery have combined to infuse Lot78’s fashion and apparel collection with a unique and avant-guard take on contemporary fashion. Lot78 seeks to be an innovator in premium lifestyle branding. Its fashion perspective is significantly influenced by its Founder, Mr. Oliver Amhurst, who is an influential figure in the fashion industry and has been at the forefront of style for more than a decade.
Lot78 currently offers a full collection of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear garments that it designs, markets, distributes and sells under the Lot78 trademarks. Lot78’s products are sold globally through upscale retailers, boutiques and specialty stores. Currently, Lot78 sells a wide variety of products for men and women, including leather jackets, t-shirts, sweats, knitwear, accessories, jeans, chinos, home ware, and wool coats. Many of Lot78’s products can be viewed on their website located at www.lot78.com. Lot78 intends to continually diversify its product offerings and designs as part of its seasonal collections.
Lot78 products are made with high quality fabrics primarily from Italy. Although Lot78 operates in a highly competitive market, it seeks to distinguish Lot78 products by emphasizing superior quality, fit, and craftsmanship. We believe that Lot78 has a competitive advantage in the quality of their fabrics and craftsmanship, superiority of their design cuts and fits, and price points in comparison to its competitors.
Lot78 introduces new and continually diverse collections twice a year during the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter seasons.
Wholesale Segment
The Lot78 Wholesale Segment sells product to leading global department stores, specialty retailers and boutiques that have the image and merchandising expertise that Lot78 envisions for the effective presentation of its products. Additionally, Lot78 products are stocked in Barneys, Harrod’s, Bloomingdales and Net-A-Porter, and in various specialty and boutique stores throughout the world.
Consumer Direct Segment
The Lot78 Consumer Direct Segment currently consists solely of sales from its e-commerce site. Lot78 accepts and fills all customer orders received through its Lot78 branded website internally. Lot78 also sells their products at its traditional brick-and-mortar store “The Lot on Ledbury,” within the heart of Notting Hill, London, where the brand originated. Additionally, Lot78 plans to grow its Consumer Direct segment sales by opening four Lot78 branded retail stores by 2015.
Marketing
The Lot78 marketing and public relations strategy is designed to communicate the signature design aesthetic and lifestyle orientation of our brand. Lot78’s unique “refined grunge” style was created by Lot78’s founder, Mr. Oliver Amhurst. Mr. Amhurst continues to manage and oversee every aspect of Lot78’s marketing. The marketing mix consists of a variety of channels including national and international print advertising, strategic outdoor advertising, in-store advertising, digital advertising, and social media. This mix of media and channels is designed to support the brand's growth across a diverse collection of consumer groups and markets. In addition, the brand strategically cultivates and enjoys a strong and loyal celebrity following. These unpaid celebrity endorsements have been, and continue to be, highly effective in expanding our brand awareness and affinity.
Trademarks
The “Lot78” brand is trademarked worldwide. Generally, the Lot78 trademarks remain valid and enforceable so long as the company continues to use the marks in commerce and the required registration renewals are filed. Lot78 considers its trademarks to be valuable assets in the marketing of its products and seeks to protect them from infringement worldwide.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The fabrics used in all Lot78 products are sourced from fabric manufacturers located in Italy and Portugal. Although Lot78 does not currently have any long-term agreements in place for the supply of its fabrics, threads or other components, such high-quality fabrics are currently readily available from a number of suppliers, including mills located both in the United States and in other regions around the world.
Design and Product Development
The Lot78 design team, which has three employees and is directed by Mr. Amhurst, is responsible for the design and development of its products.
Manufacturing
All product manufacturing is outsourced to third parties on an order-by-order basis. Currently, the company has contract manufacturers in Italy, Portugal, and Bhutan. These contractors sew and finish Lot78 products to exacting design specifications. Lot78 management oversees the manufacturing and quality control of its products and researches and develops new sources of supply for the materials used in the manufacturing of its products.
Lot78 Market For Common Equity
Lot78 stock is not publicly traded. Lot78’s incorporation documents authorize us to issue an unlimited number of common stock and an unlimited number of preferred shares. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, 11,510 shares of Lot78’s common stock were outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding. No shares of Lot78 common stock were reserved for options, warrants or other commitments. For the effects of the transaction on these numbers, see the section entitled, “Proposed Acquisition of Lot78”.
The number of holders of Lot78’s common stock as of the date of this Proxy Statement was four. Lot78 has not paid or declared any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any dividends on its common stock in the near future.
Lot78’s Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of Anio, Ltd.’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the company’s financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward looking statements relating to Anio, Ltd.’s future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, projections of revenue mix and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently known to, management. The words "expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “may”, “could”, “should" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this section are intended to emphasize that actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statement.
The auditor’s report on the September 30, 2012 financial statements of Anio, Ltd. expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether the company can continue as an ongoing business, since Anio, Ltd. has incurred a net loss and its liabilities exceed its assets. See Appendix F (September 30, 2012 Audited Financial Statements of Anio, Ltd.) under the caption, “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”
Results of Operations
We generated revenues from the sale of our products for the period ended September 30, 2012 of £355,469, as compared to revenue for the period ended September 30, 2011 of £437,870. We incurred operating expenses of £75,203 and £172,722, respectively, for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011.
Our comprehensive net loss for the period ended September 30, 2012, was £79,586 compared to £176,589 for the period ended September 30, 2011. We intend to fund additional expenditures through equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2012, we had £nil in cash in the bank as compared to £206 as at September 30, 2011. Our accounts payable at September 30, 2012 was £146,154 as compared to £69,305 as at September 30, 2011. Our stockholders' deficit was £776,606 at September 30, 2012, as compared to £697,020 at September 30, 2011.
We do not anticipate any material commitments for capital expenditures in the near term. While we continue to work towards 100% capacity, we feel that current cash on hand is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements. If we are unable to continue to develop and implement a profitable business plan, we will be required to seek additional avenues to obtain the funds necessary to sustain operations, including equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, Management will evaluate its estimates and will base its estimates on historical experience, as well as on various other assumptions in light of the circumstances surrounding the estimate. The results of this evaluation will form the basis of our judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, which are not readily apparent from other sources. It should be noted, however, that actual results could materially differ from the amount derived from Management's estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period reported. Our Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our current financial statements.
Because we are a small, development stage company with only one director, we have not yet appointed an audit, nominating, or compensation committee or any other committee of our Board of Directors.

REPORTS, OPINIONS, APPRAISALS AND NEGOTIATIONS
We did not retain a third party to express its opinion as to the fairness to our shareholders, from a financial point of view, of the proposed transaction. We felt that sufficient expertise exists with our current director. We also relied on the experience of our officer and the current financial conditon of the Company in making the recommendation relating to the acquisition of Lot78.
In performing our analyses of the transaction, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond our control. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by us are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which the businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, the analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.
In connection with our analysis, we researched or reviewed various materials and documents and held discussions with certain individuals. In particular, we did the following:
· | held discussions with senior management and directors of Lot78 concerning the outlook of their entity; |
· | reviewed historical audited financial statements of Lot78; |
· | reviewed economic, industry, demographic, and market related data, factors, and outlooks for Lot78; |
· | reviewed documents related to the proposed acquisition; |
· | reviewed the ownership structure of Lot78 and its subsidiaries; |
· | considered our financial condition and our lack of access to appropriate funding, and that without additional funds we would likely not be successful. |

ACQUISITION OF LOT78 PURSUANT TO THE

The Company proposes the acquisition of Lot78 pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement in order to pursue its new business direction focused on the luxury high-end fashion and apparel industry as discussed above in greater detail.

VOTE REQUIRED

In the absence of specific instructions, executed proxies which do not indicate for whom votes should be cast will be voted “FOR” the election of the nominee named below as a director. Votes withheld will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting but will have no other legal effect upon the election of directors under Nevada law. In the event that any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director (which is not anticipated), the shareholders will vote for such substitute nominee as the Board of Directors recommends or vote to allow the vacancy to remain open until filled by the Board of Directors, as the Board of Directors recommends.

PROPOSAL 3
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
The Company’s registered independent public accountant for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 was De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC (“De Joya Griffith”). On November 19, 2012, the Board of Directors dismissed De Joya Griffith and appointed MaloneBailey as the registered independent public accountant of the Company for the year ending July 31, 2013 or, subject to the approval of Proposal 4 herein, for the year ending September 30, 2013. The decisions to appoint MaloneBailey and dismiss De Joya Griffith were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 9, 2012. We are submitting this matter to our shareholders for ratification. Although we are not required to seek shareholder approval for this appointment, we believe it is sound corporate practice to do so. In the event that the shareholders do not ratify the selection of MaloneBailey, the appointment of the registered independent public accountant will be reconsidered by the Board of Directors. Representatives from De Joya Griffith and MaloneBailey are not expected to attend the Annual Meeting.
Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, De Joya Griffith’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. For the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through De Joya Griffith’s termination on November 19, 2012, De Joya Griffith disclosed the uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in its accountant’s report on the financial statements.
In connection with the audit and review of the financial statements of the Company through November 19, 2012, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with De Joya Griffith’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
In connection with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and interim unaudited financial statements through November 19, 2012, there have been no reportable events with the Company as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Prior to November 19, 2012, the Company did not consult with MaloneBailey regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to specified transactions, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, (3) written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (4) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and its predecessor registered independent public accountant as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to De Joya Griffith prior to the date of filing of a Current Report with the Commission on Form 8-K on November 19, 2012 (the “Current Report”) and requested that De Joya Griffith furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the statements in the Current Report. A copy of the letter furnished in response to that request was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report.
Audit Fees
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred approximately $4,500 and $4,000, respectively, in fees to the Company’s registered independent public accountant, De Joya Griffith, for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011.
Audit-Related Fees
The aggregate fees billed during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 for assurance and related services by the Company’s registered independent public accountant, De Joya Griffith, that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements were $nil and $nil, respectively.
Tax Fees
The aggregate fees billed during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 for professional services rendered by the Company’s registered independent public accountant, De Joya Griffith, including tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $nil and $nil, respectively.
All Other Fees
The aggregate fees billed during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 for products and services provided by the Company’s registered independent public accountant, De Joya Griffith, were $nil and $nil, respectively.
VOTE REQUIRED
The ratification of the appointment of MaloneBailey as the registered independent public accountant of the Company for the year ending July 31, 2013 or, subject to the approval of Proposal 4 herein, for the year ending September 30, 2013, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT FOR THE YEAR ENDING JULY 31, 2013 OR, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 4, FOR THE YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
PROPOSAL 4
AMENDMENT TO COMPANY BYLAWS TO CHANGE FISCAL YEAR END TO SEPTEMBER 30
Under this Proposal 4, the amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to change the fiscal year end is contingent upon the independent approval of Proposal 1.
On November 9, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Amended Bylaws of the Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix C, which amends Article V, Paragraph 2 to change the Company’s fiscal year end from July 31 to September 30 upon the Closing. Article V, Paragraph 2 of the Bylaws currently states as follows:
2. Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the twelve months ending July 31, or such other period as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.
The proposed amendment to Article V, Paragraph 2 of the Company’s Bylaws shall state as follows:
2. Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the twelve months ending September 30, or such other period as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.
The determination to change the Company’s fiscal year end is based on aligning the Company’s year end with the year end of Lot78, as this will simplify the Company’s ongoing accounting.
VOTE REQUIRED
The amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to change the Company’s fiscal year end from July 31 to September 30 requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
Proposal 4 must be independently approved to amend the Bylaws to change the Company’s fiscal year end and is contingent upon the independent approval of Proposal 1. An affirmative vote for this Proposal 4 is only a vote for the amendment to the Bylaws to change the fiscal year end as set forth above and shall not be counted for or against Proposal 1, as that Proposal must be independently approved.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S FISCAL YEAR END AS SET FORTH ABOVE.

On November 9, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Amended Bylaws of the Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix C, which amends Article I, Paragraph 11 entitled “Vote or Consent of Shareholders” in its entirety upon the Closing. Article I, Paragraph 11 of the Bylaws currently states as follows:
11. Vote or Consent of Shareholders
Directors, except as otherwise required by law, shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election.
Whenever any corporate action, other than the election of directors, is to be taken by vote of the shareholders, it shall, except as otherwise required by law, be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.
Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. Written consent thus given by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote of shareholders.
The proposed amendment to Article I, Paragraph 11 of the Company’s Bylaws shall state as follows:
11. Informal Action by Stockholders.
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, including the election of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required.
In no instance where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or notice given.
Stockholders may participate in a meeting of stockholders through electronic communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other available technology which allows the stockholders to communicate simultaneously or sequentially and which allows all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this paragraph constitutes presence in person at the meeting.
If voting by a class or series of stockholders is permitted or required, a majority of the voting power of the class or series that is present in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. An act by the stockholders of each class or series is approved if a majority of the voting power of a quorum of the class or series votes for the action.
The Company proposes to amend Article I, Paragraph 11 upon the Closing in order to conform such language to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
VOTE REQUIRED
The amendment to the Company’s Bylaws to amend Article I, Paragraph 11 entitled “Vote or Consent of Shareholders” in its entirety requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
Proposal 5 must be independently approved to amend Article I, Paragraph 11 of the Bylaws and is contingent upon the independent approval of Proposal 1.

ARTICLE I
SHAREHOLDERS
1. Annual Meeting
A meeting of the shareholders shall be held annually for the elections of directors and the transaction of other business on such date in each year as may be determined by the Board of Directors, but in no event later than 100 days after the anniversary of the date of incorporation of the Corporation.
2. Special Meetings
Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors, Chairman of the Board or President and shall be called by the Board upon written request of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting requested to be called. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. At such special meetings the only business which may be transacted is that relating to the purpose or purposes set forth in the notice thereof.
3. Place of Meetings
Meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such place within or outside of the State of Nevada as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. If no place is fixed, such meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation.
4. Notice of Meetings
Notice of each meeting of the shareholders shall be given in writing and shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of a special meeting shall indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling or requesting the meeting.
If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be taken which, if taken, would entitle objecting shareholders to receive payment for their shares, the notice shall include a statement of that purpose and to that effect.
A copy of the notice of each meeting shall be given, personally or by first class mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage thereon paid, directed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the record of the shareholders, or, if he shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to him or her be mailed to some other address, then directed to him at such other address.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. However, if after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice under this Section 4.
5. Waiver of Notice
Notice of a meeting need not be given to any shareholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, in person or by proxy, whether before or after the meeting. The attendance of any shareholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy, without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice of such meeting, shall constitute a waiver of notice by him or her.
6. Inspectors of Election
The Board of Directors, in advance of any shareholders’ meeting, may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at a shareholders’ meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint two inspectors. In case any person appointed fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment in advance of the meeting by the Board or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of such inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
The inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote at the meeting, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result thereof, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, or of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge; question or matter determined by them and shall execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of any vote certified by them.
7. List of Shareholders at Meetings
A list of the shareholders as of the record date, certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary or by a transfer agent, shall be produced at any meeting of the shareholders upon the request thereat or prior thereto of any shareholder. If the right to vote at any meeting is challenged, the inspectors of election, or the person presiding thereat, shall require such list of the shareholders to be produced as evidence of the right of the persons challenged to vote at such meeting, and all persons who appear from such list to be shareholders entitled to vote thereat may vote at such meeting.
8. Qualification of Voters
Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, every shareholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of the shareholders to one vote for every share standing in its name on the record of the shareholders.
Treasury shares as of the record date and shares held as of the record date by another domestic or foreign corporation of any kind, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held as of the record date by the Corporation, shall not be shares entitled to vote or to be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator, committee or other fiduciary, other than a trustee, may be voted by such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy, without the transfer of such shares into the name of such fiduciary. Shares held by a trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, only after the shares have been transferred into his name as trustee or into the name of his nominee.
Shares standing in the name of another domestic or foreign corporation of any type or kind may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may provide, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.
No shareholder shall sell his vote, or issue a proxy to vote, to any person for any sum of money or anything of value except as permitted by law.
9. Quorum of Shareholders
The holders of a majority of the shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any meeting of the shareholders shall constitute a quorum at such meeting for the transaction of any business, provided that when a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a class or series, voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such specified item of business.
When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders.
The shareholders who are present in person or by proxy and who are entitled to vote may, by a majority of votes cast, adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.
10. Proxies
Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders, or to express consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy.
Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder or its attorney. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law.
The authority of the holder of a proxy to act shall not be revoked by the incompetence or death of the shareholder who executed the proxy, unless before the authority is exercised written notice of adjudication of such incompetence or of such death is received by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary.
11. Informal Action by Shareholders
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, including the election of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required.
In no instance where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or notice given.
Stockholders may participate in a meeting of stockholders through electronic communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other available technology which allows the stockholders to communicate simultaneously or sequentially and which allows all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this paragraph constitutes presence in person at the meeting.
If voting by a class or series of stockholders is permitted or required, a majority of the voting power of the class or series that is present in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. An act by the stockholders of each class or series is approved if a majority of the voting power of a quorum of the class or series votes for the action.
12. Fixing the Record Date
For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be less than ten or more than sixty days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action.
When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

11. Interest of Directors in a Transaction
Unless shown to be unfair and unreasonable as to the Corporation, no contract or other transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, firm, association or other entity in which one or more of the directors are directors or officers, or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable, irrespective of whether such interested director or directors are present at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or of a committee thereof, which authorizes such contract or transaction and irrespective of whether his or their votes are counted for such purpose. In the absence of fraud any such contract and transaction conclusively may be authorized or approved as fair and reasonable by: (a) the Board of Directors or a duly empowered committee thereof, by a vote sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote or votes of such interested director or directors (although such interested director or directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting which authorizes such contract or transaction), if the fact of such common directorship, officership or financial interest is disclosed or known to the Board or committee, as the case may be; or (b) the shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors, if such common directorship, officership or financial interest is disclosed or known to such shareholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan, except advances in connection with indemnification, shall be made by the Corporation to any director unless it is authorized by vote of the shareholders without counting any shares of the director who would be the borrower or unless the director who would be the borrower is the sole shareholder of the Corporation.

PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bold Energy Inc. (“Bold Energy”, “we”, the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on June 27, 2008 and established a fiscal year end of July 31. We are a development stage company that intends to develop a wide range loyalty program based on “Global Club points” awarded for all purchases made in associated establishments. These points will be exchangeable for products, trips or discounts. We intend to partner with various retailers, so that the cardholders will be able to collect points on their everyday expenses, such as in grocery shops, gas stations, restaurants, electronic stores, travel agencies, etc.
Our strategy is to recruit a large number of retail outlets as participating Global Club partners. We plan to do this by having our sales representatives negotiate membership deals with many large retail outlets and chains across North America. We also plan to advertise Global Club to retail outlets in various trade magazines as part of our sales campaign. Our planned website will also play a central role in recruiting customers.
General Overview
Global Club is a new concept of a traditional loyalty program. The concept is simple: on every purchase it will be awarded points to be printed on a card. These points can be exchanged for products, such as video-games, gift cards, trips, etc., according to the number of points on the card: more points, better prize. We intend to have a wide variety of partners so that the cardholders will be able to collect points on their everyday expenses from a broad selection of retailers, such as grocery shops, gas stations, restaurants, electronic stores, travel agencies, etc.
We intend to begin initial operations by purchasing a limited number of samples of the RW Terminal and PET cards in order to develop and test our system. Once we obtain these samples, we plan to hire hi-tech consultants to develop the software to run the systems. Once our system is operational, we expect to start our marketing efforts. We will then develop our website, www.globalclubloyalty.com, and contact possible partners.
PET Card
An important part of the program will be a recyclable PET card that is similar in size to a debit/credit PVC card, but thinner (0.22mm). The card will be color printed by applying special UV (ultra-violet) inks in thin (less than 0.04 mm) coats with our logo and a serial number on the face and product information on the obverse side. The obverse side of the card will also contain a magnetic layer upon which the information (data) about the customer, including his accumulated points will be recorded by a specialized device, called the “Readwriter Terminal.” The points will be printed thermally in a way that the magnetic reader head of the terminal will read the information recorded on it. In addition, we could also use face side of card for advertising and product promotions.
The estimated cost price is US$0.80 per unit.
Read Writer Terminal – RWT
We intend to import this equipment from a specialized company from Japan. We expect that this company will be able to manufacture this equipment according to our design specifications. We expect to install terminals in each venue that is a part of the Global Club. The terminal is the technology that we expect to use as a means to recognize each card and print the points on it after each of the cardholder’s transactions.
At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. We will need additional cash, but if we are unable to raise the necessary level of funding, we will either have to suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash necessary to continue our business plan or we will have to cease operations entirely.
If we are unable to complete any phase of our business plan or marketing efforts because we do not have enough funding, we will cease our development and/or marketing activities until we raise enough funds to continue. If we fail in any phase of our business plan, it would become more difficult to raise capital because such failures discourage additional investment. As a consequence, if we cannot secure additional funding, we will have to cease operations and our current investors may lose their entire investment.
Plan of Operation
We plan to begin initial operations by purchasing a limited number of samples of the RW Terminal from a Japanese company that specializes in the manufacture of this product. We also plan to obtain a limited number of PET cards as well. Once we are able to secure samples of the RW Terminal and the PET cards, we expect to be able to begin developing and testing our system. We expect to complete this stage after we are able to raise enough capital to implement our plan of operations.
After acquiring the RW Terminals and PET cards, we plan to hire hi-tech consultants to develop the software to run the systems. We intend to use the terminals and cards acquired prior to this stage to test the system and make any necessary adjustments to the software so that it runs to our specifications.
Once our system is operational, we expect to begin our marketing efforts. We will develop our website, www.globalclubloyalty.com, and contact malls, grocery stores, gas stations and other retailers to be our partners. We intend to be fully operational once we are able to raise enough capital to implement our plan of operations.
We plan on charging a monthly rental fee that will include the maintenance of the equipment. The Company also plans to generate revenue by charging approximately US$0.01 for each issued point and by selling advertisement space on the cards. The consumer will not pay bear any additional costs for the points because these costs will be already included in the final price of the product. In addition, we may also sell specially designed PET cards as collector’s items.
Management does not plan to hire additional employees at this time. Our President will be responsible for the initial product sourcing. Initially, weintend to hire sales representatives on a commission-only basis to in order to minimize administrative and labor costs overhead . We plan to use third party web designers to build and maintain our website.
We do not expect to be purchasing or selling plant or any significant equipment during the next twelve months.
Research and Development
We have not spent any money on research and development activities during the year ended July 31, 2012. We anticipate that we will not incur any expenses on research and development over the next 12 months. Our planned expenditures on our operations or business combination are summarized under the section of this annual report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations.”
Recent Developments
The Company has evaluated its developments over the fiscal year and has determined that there are no events to disclose because we have not had any significant business developments since the date of our last annual report.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we do not have any employees other than our officer and director, Eden Clark and our Secretary, Patrick De Blois. Ms. Clark currently devotes approximately 10 to15 hours a week to our business. Mr. DeBlois currently devotes approximately 5 hours a week to our business. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any officers, directors or employees.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 2. Description of Property
We do not own any real estate or other properties. The Company’s office is located at 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89703.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are currently unaware of any legal matters pending or threatened against us.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.
Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “BOLD.OB”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
The following table sets forth the high and low closing prices quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the last two fiscal years, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not be reflective of actual transactions:

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
This report contains forward looking statements relating to our Company's future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, projections of revenue mix and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently known to, our management. The words "expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “may”, “could”, “should" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this section are intended to emphasize that actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statement.
Our auditor’s report on our July 31, 2012 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Since our officer and director may be unwilling or unable to loan or advance the Company additional capital, we believe that if we do not raise additional capital over the next 12 months, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our business plans. See “July 31, 2012 Audited Financial Statements – Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”
Management believes that the amount of cash on hand and in the bank on behalf of Bold Energy will not satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months or until such time that additional proceeds are raised. We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements - primarily the working capital required for the development of our course guides and marketing campaign and to offset legal and accounting fees - by obtaining additional equity financing. This will likely be in the form of private placements of common stock.
Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will be able to generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
If Bold Energy is unsuccessful in raising additional funding through a private placement offering, it will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new development stage company to secure. Therefore, the Company is highly dependent upon the success of the anticipated private placement offering and failure thereof would result in Bold Energy having to seek capital from other sources, such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the company. However, if we were able to obtain such financing, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate because we are a development stage company with no operations to date. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth as well as manage its debt. If Bold Energy cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing, it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in Bold Energy common stock would lose all of their investment.
The development and marketing of our products will start over the next 12 months. Bold Energy does not anticipate obtaining any additional products or services.
Results of Operations
We did not generate any revenues for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 nor did we generate any revenues for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. We incurred operating expenses of $3,941,359 and $47,486, respectively, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011.
Our comprehensive net loss for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 was $3,941,613 compared to $7,771,913 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. Since the date of inception, we have incurred a comprehensive net loss of $11,767,719. We do not currently have sufficient capital to fund our estimated expenditures for the fiscal year and we intend to fund the expenditures through equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 31, 2012, we had $293 in cash in the bank.
Our accounts payable at July 31, 2012 was $11,518 and loan payable at July 31, 2012 was $72,037.
Our stockholders' deficit was (82,181) at July 31, 2012, as compared to ($40,568) at July 31, 2011.
In the next 12 months, we do not intend to expend any substantial funds on research and development and do not intend to purchase any major equipment.
We do not anticipate any material commitments for capital expenditures in the near term. While we continue to work towards 100% capacity, we feel that current cash on hand is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements. If we are unable to continue to develop and implement a profitable business plan, we will be required to seek additional avenues to obtain the funds necessary to sustain operations, including equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
Given that we have not achieved significant profitable operations to date, our cash requirements are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond our control, including operational and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors and our ability to manage growth. We are not able to offer any assurances that we will be able to generate cash flow sufficient to achieve profitable operations or that our expenses will not exceed our projections. If our expenses exceed estimates, we will require additional funds during the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, Management will evaluate its estimates and will base its estimates on historical experience, as well as on various other assumptions in light of the circumstances surrounding the estimate. The results of this evaluation will form the basis of our judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, which are not readily apparent from other sources. It should be noted, however, that actual results could materially differ from the amount derived from Management's estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period reported. Our Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our current financial statements.
Because we are a small, development stage company with only one director, we have not yet appointed an audit committee or any other committee of our Board of Directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bold Energy Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bold Energy Inc.(A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years then ended and for the period from inception (June 27, 2008) through July 31, 2012. Bold Energy Inc’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bold Energy Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended and for the period from inception (June 27, 2008) through July 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
July 31, 2012 |
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company on June 27, 2008 and established a fiscal year end of July 31. It is a development-stage Company that intends to develop a wide range loyalty program based on "Global Club points" awarded for all purchases made in associated establishments. These points will be exchangeable for products, trips or discounts. The Company is currently in the development stage as defined under FASB ASC 915-10, “Development Stage Entities". All activities of the Company to date relate to its organization, initial funding and share issuances. |
On November 10, 2009, a change in control occurred when the Company received a resignation notice from Orlando J. Narita from all of his positions with the Company, including President, CEO, Principal Executive Officer, Treasurer, CFO, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, and Director. |
On November 30, 2009, the Company appointed Eden Clark as its new President, CEO, Principal Executive Officer, Treasurer, CFO, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and as Director. |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Stock-based Compensation |
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. |
Stock based compensation for non-employees is accounted for using the Stock Based Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC 505. We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and will use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. |
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share |
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly basic loss and diluted loss per share are the same. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
The company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statement. |
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN |
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit since inception to July 31, 2012 of $11,767,719. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. |
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. |
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
As of July 31, 2012 the Company received advances from a Director in the amount of $67,037, to pay for general operating expenses. The amounts due to the related party are unsecured and non-interest bearing with no set terms of repayment. |
On November 26, 2009, the former director forgave a loan in the amount of $4,788, which was owed to him from the Company. |
NOTE 5 - RECLASSIFICATION: STOCK SPLIT ADJUSTMENT |
Effective March 23, 2011, the President voluntarily cancelled 27,594,000 shares of her outstanding common stock of the Company which were cancelled and returned to the pool of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock. These cancelled shares were previously recorded in the financials at a total of pre split 689,850,000. Since the shares under this agreement have been cancelled without the exchange of consideration to reduce number of shares outstanding, the Company considered the change in capital structure from the cancellation agreement in substance a reverse stock split. In accordance with SAB Topic 4-C, the Company recorded the cancellation retroactively as a reduction to the par value of common stock with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. |
NOTE 6 – CAPITAL STOCK |
The Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. No preferred shares have been authorized or issued. |
On July 22, 2008, the sole Director purchased 906,000 shares of the common stock in the Company for $4,750. On April 23, 2009, the Company issued 900,000 Common shares for $6,000. |
On November 26, 2009, the former director forgave a loan in the amount of $4,788, which was owed to him from the Company. |
On March 2, 2010, the Company affected a 150:1 forward split of the Company's stock through the issuance of a stock dividend for each share outstanding as of March 23, 2010. |
On March 2, 2010, the President of the Company requested that the Company cancel 27,594,000 common shares that she owns in her own name. As a result of the cancelation, the President owns 906,000 common shares on March 2, 2010. |
On April 6, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 200,000 common shares to various stockholders at $0.025 per share for $5,000. |
On July 15, 2010, various stockholders requested that the Company cancel 1,250 common shares. |
On March 31, 2011, the Company affected a 1 for 25 reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. |
On May 12, 2011 the company issued an aggregate of 25,000,000 common shares to various stockholders @$0.31 per share. The shares were issued as repayment of $25,000 of principal due to the stockholders and 7,725,000 as finance cost. The accrued interest to date was forgiven by the lenders. |
In addition on May 12, 2011, the company issued 48,388 shares at $0.31 per share to Ms. Eden Clark as compensation for services rendered valued at $15,000. |
During the year ended July 31, 2012, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares to an officer and a director 15,000,000 to each. The shares were valued at $0.13 per share for services rendered through July 31, 2012. As such compensation expense of $3,900,000 was recorded during the year. |
As of July 31, 2012, there are a total of 57,053,138 shares of common stock outstanding or warrants. |
As of July 31, 2012, the Company has not granted any stock options |
All references in these financial statements to number of common shares, price per share and weighted number of common shares outstanding prior to 1 for 25 reverse stock split on March 31, 2011 have been adjusted to reflect this stock split on a retroactive basis, unless otherwise noted. |
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
2012 | 2011 | ||
Cumulative net loss before taxes | $11,767,719 | $7,826,106 | |
Income tax expense charged to loss before taxes | - | - | |
A reconciliation of the expected income tax expense, computed by applying a 35% U.S. Federal corporate income tax rate to income before taxes to income tax expense is as follows:
2012 | 2011 | ||
Expected income tax expense (benefit) | $(4,118,702) | $(2,739,137) | |
Share-based payments | 4,073,390 | 2,708,390 | |
Deferred tax asset | (45,312) | (30,748) | |
Valuation allowance | 45,312 | 30,748 | |
Deferred tax, net of allowance | $ - | $ - |
At July 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had available a net-operating loss carry-forward for Federal tax purposes of approximately $129,462 and $87,850, respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income, if any, at various times through 2032. Certain significant changes in ownership of the Company may restrict the future utilization of these tax loss carry-forwards.
At July 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has a deferred tax asset of $45,312 and $30,748 representing the benefit of its net operating loss carry-forward. The Company has not recognized the tax benefit because realization of the tax benefit is uncertain and thus a valuation allowance has been fully provided against the deferred tax asset. The change in the valuation allowance as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 was $14,565 and $11,780, respectively.
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at July 31:
2012 | 2011 | ||
Federal statutory tax rate | (35.0) % | (35.0) % | |
Permanent difference and other | 35.0 % | 35.0 % | |
Effective tax rate | - % | - % |
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there are no events to disclose.
On November 9, 2012, Bold Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a voluntary share exchange transaction with Anio, Ltd., a limited liability company established under the laws of the United Kingdom, which conducts its primary line of business under the name Lot78, Inc. (“Lot78”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company and its controlling stockholders, on the one hand, and Lot78 and the stockholders of Lot78 (the “Selling Stockholders”), on the other hand.
At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company will issue 30,954,388 new shares of its common stock to the Selling Stockholders in exchange for 100% of the currently issued and outstanding capital stock of Lot78 and Eden Clark and Patrick DeBlois shall irrevocably cancel a total of 30,954,388 restricted shares of common stock of BOLD prior to the Closing Date. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Lot78 will become the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Company will acquire the business and operations of Lot78.
The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and conditions to Closing. The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder that are material to the Company does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement, a copy of which was filed on November 13, 2012 as Exhibit 2.1 to the original Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2012 and is incorporated by reference into this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A

Company management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, the possibility of human error, judgments and assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at our company due to the limited number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. At this time management believes that, given the individuals involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are insignificant, and that the potential benefits of adding additional employees to segregate duties more clearly do not justify the associated added expense. Management will continue to evaluate this segregation of duties. In addition, management is aware that many of our currently existing internal controls are undocumented. Our management will be working to document such internal controls over the coming year.
Item 9B. Other Information.

Compliance With Section 16(A) Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company.

Audit Committee
We have not established a separately designated standing audit committee. However, the Company intends to establish a new audit committee of the Board of Directors that shall consist of independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee shall at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted an informal Code of Ethics that applies to our officers, directors, which we feel is sufficient at this time, given we are still in the start-up, development stage and have no employees, other than our officers and directors.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Anio Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Anio Limited as at 30 September 2012 and 2011, the related statement of operations, the statement of cash flows and notes for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of Anio Limited at 30 September 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations for each of the years ended 30 September 2012 and 30 September 2011 in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
Emphasis of matter - going concern
In forming our opinion on the financial statements, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in Note 1.1 to the financial statements concerning the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1.1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ANIO LIMITED
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Anio Limited
We have audited Anio Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of 30 September 2012 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Anio Limited’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting assessing the risk that a material weakness exists testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion Anio Limited maintained in all material respects effective internal control over financial reporting as of 30 September 2012 based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) the balance sheet of Anio Limited as of 30 September 2012 and 2011, the related statement of operations, the statement of cash flows and notes for each of the two years in the period ended 30 September 2012 of Anio Limited and our report dated 13 December 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon as follows:
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of Anio Limited at 30 September 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations for each of the years ended 30 September 2012 and 30 September 2011 in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2012
1 Accounting policies
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (United States Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The company incurred a loss of £79,586 and has net liabilities of £776,606. In the opinion of the director, ongoing negotiations to raise additional funds will be successful and he therefore believes that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
1.2 Compliance with accounting standards
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United States of America Accounting
Standards ("US GAAP"), which have been applied consistently (except as otherwise stated).
1.3 Nature of operations
Anio Limited is a company whose principal activity continued to be that of marketing of ladies' and gentlemens' fashions, manufacturers, converters, importers and exporters of and dealers in fabrics, textiles, cloths, fibres and yarns of all kinds.
1.4 Operating segment information
The Company predominantly operates in one industry segment, the fashion industry. Substantially all of the Company's assets and employees are in one location at the Company's headquarters in London, United Kingdom
1.5 Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
1.6 Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments (principally consisting of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments and accounts payable) approximates fair value either because of the expected short-term collection or payment period or because the terms are similar to market terms.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents Accounts
receivable
Cash and cash equivalents include certain investments with original maturities of three months or less,
such as money market accounts.
1.8 Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances.
Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are reported in the results of operations of the
year in which those differences are determined, with an offsetting entry to a valuation allowance for trade accounts receivable.
Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to
the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. As of 30 September 2012 and 2011, the allowance for doubtful accounts
totals £nil and £8,226, respectively.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
1.9 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined by a first-in first-out method) and net realizable value.
1.10 Long-lived assets
The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted Cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. In such circumstances, those assets are written down to estimated fair value. Long-lived assets consist primarily of fixed assets and patents.
1.11 Intangible assets
Patent costs are amortized over the shorter of the life of the patent (ten years) or the related product on a straight-line basis, and are tested for impairment on an annual basis. Patents are periodically reviewed by management to determine the recoverability of these assets.
1.12 Revenue recognition
Goods are shipped to retailers in accordance with specific customer orders. The Company recognizes wholesale sales when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, determined by the Company to be when title to the merchandise passes to the customer. The Company recognizes retail sales upon customer receipt of merchandise, generally at the point of sale.
The Company's sales are recorded net of applicable sales taxes, any returns discounts and other allowances.
1.13 Major customers
During the year ended 30 September 2012, one customer represented 43% of gross sales. During the year ended 30 September 2011, one customer accounted for 30% of gross sales.
1.14 Major suppliers
Purchases during the year ended 30 September 2012 included purchases from one supplier that accounted for 34% of total purchases during the year. Purchases during the year ended 30 September 2011 included purchases from one supplier that accounted 63% of total purchases during the year. Management believes no risk is present under these arrangements due to other suppliers being readily available.
