*The selling shareholders are underwriters, as such, they will be subject to the applicable prospectus delivery and liability revisions of the Securities Act.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
There is no public market for our common stock. Our common stock is currently held by four shareholders. Therefore, the current and potential market for our common stock is limited and the liquidity of our shares may be severely limited. Other than pursuant to certain exemptions permitted by Rule 419, no trading in the common stock being offered will be permitted until the completion of a business combination meeting the requirements of Rule 419. To date, we have made no effort to obtain listing or quotation of our securities on a national stock exchange or association. The Company has not identified or approached any broker/dealers with regard to assisting us to apply for such listing. The Company is unable to estimate when we expect to undertake this endeavor or that we will be successful. In the absence of listing, no market is available for investors in our common stock to sell their shares. The Company cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop or that we will be able to get our common stock listed for trading.
If the stock ever becomes tradable, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at or greater than the price at which they are being offered.
This offering will be conducted on a best-efforts basis utilizing the efforts of Benny Doro, the President of the Company. Potential investors include, but are not limited to, family, friends and acquaintances of Benny Doro. The intended methods of communication include, without limitation, telephone and personal contact. In efforts to sell this offering, no mass advertising methods such as the internet or print media will be used. Every potential purchaser will be provided with a prospectus at the time any offer is made, as well as a copy of the subscription agreement.
Checks payable as disclosed herein received in connection with sales of our securities will be transmitted immediately into an Escrow Account until the offering is closed. There can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold. The shares from Miguel Dotres, Benny Doro, Bob Bubeck, and Margret M. McLaughlin will be placed into the Escrow Account. The escrow agreement sets forth the offering priorities between the Company's shares and those held by Miguel Dotres, Benny Doro, Bob Bubeck, and Margret M. McLaughlin.
Benny Doro will not receive commissions for any sales originated on the Company's behalf. We believe that Benny Doro is exempt from registration as a broker under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, as to Benny Doro, he:
1. Is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his or her participation; and
2. Is not to be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities; and
3. Is not an associated person of a broker or dealer; and
4. Meets the conditions of the following:
|
a. |
Primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and |
|
b. |
Was not a broker or dealer, or associated persons of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and |
|
c. |
Did not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs within this section, except that for securities issued pursuant to rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, the 12 months shall begin with the last sale of any security included within one rule 415 registration. |
Benny Doro our President and director is an underwriter for the purposes of this offering. Miguel Dotres, Bob Bubeck, and Margret M. McLaughlin are promoters for the purpose of this offering.
There can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold. As of this date, we have not entered into any agreements or arrangements for the sale of the shares with any broker/dealer or sales agent. However, if we were to enter into such arrangements, we will file a post-effective amendment to disclose those arrangements because any broker/dealer participating in the offering would be acting as an underwriter and would have to be so named herein.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available and with which we have complied. The purchasers in this offering and in any subsequent trading market must be residents of such states where the shares have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available. As of this date, we have not identified the specific states where the offering will be sold.
The Company is conducting a "Blank Check" offering subject to Rule 419 of Regulation C as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "S.E.C.") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The offering proceeds and the securities to be issued to investors must be deposited in an escrow account (the "Deposited Funds" and "Deposited Securities," respectively). While held in the escrow account, the Deposited Securities may not be traded or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), or Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), or the rules thereunder. Except for an amount up to 10% of the Deposited Funds releasable under Rule 419, the Deposited Funds and the Deposited Securities may not be released until an acquisition meeting certain specified criteria (having a value of at least 80% of the amount raised in this offering) has been consummated and a sufficient number of investors (80% of those purchasing in the offering) reconfirm their investment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 419. An amount equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering may be released to the Company for expenses upon completion of the minimum offering. Pursuant to these procedures, a new prospectus, which describes an acquisition candidate and its business and includes audited financial statements, will be filed in a post-effective amendment to this registration statement, and delivered to all investors. The Company must return the pro rata portion of the Deposited Funds to any investor who does not elect to remain an investor. Unless 80% of investors elect to remain investors, all investors will be entitled to the return of a pro rata portion of the net Deposited Funds (without interest) and none of the Deposited Securities will be issued to investors. In the event an acquisition is not consummated within 18 months of the effective date of this prospectus, the net Deposited Funds will be returned on a pro rata basis to all investors (10% may have been released to the Company upon completion of at least the minimum offering).
The proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering should be payable to Branch Banking & Trust Company fbo Atlantic Acquisition Inc. ("Escrow Account") and will be deposited in a non-interest bearing account until the escrow conditions are met. No interest will be paid to any shareholder or the Company. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable. All subscription funds net of amounts releasable under Rule 419 for expenses (up to 10%) will be held in the Escrow Account until the earlier of: (i) consummation of an acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 419 or (ii) 18 months have passed from the date of the prospectus and no such acquisition has been consummated and no funds shall be released to Atlantic Acquisition Inc. until such a time as the escrow conditions are met other than up to 10% as disclosed herein. In the event that 18 months have passed from the date of the prospectus and no such acquisition has been consummated net funds shall be returned pro rata to investors. Securities will be released to investors upon the consummation of an acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 419. The escrow agent will continue to receive or hold funds and perform disbursements required or allowed under Rule 419 until either (i) consummation of an acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 419 or (ii) 18 months have passed from the date of the prospectus and no such acquisition has been consummated. Thereafter, the escrow agreement shall terminate. If the Minimum Offering is not achieved within 180 days of the date of this prospectus (or an additional 180 days if so extended at the sole discretion of the Company), all subscription funds will be returned to investors promptly without interest or deduction of fees upon the expiration of 180 days or the second 180 days if the offering period is extended. The fee of the Escrow Agent is $2,500.00 (see Exhibit 99a). The amount of funds actually collected in the escrow account from checks that have cleared the interbank payment system, as reflected in the records of the escrow agent, is the only factor assessed in determining whether the minimum offering condition has been met. Branch Banking & Trust Company will act as escrow agent and trustee for investors and it will make the determination based solely on its account records. Investors can purchase common stock in this offering by completing a Subscription Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 99b) and sending it to the Company together with payment in full. All payments must be made in United States currency either by personal check, bank draft, or cashiers check. There is no minimum subscription requirement. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable. The Company expressly reserves the right to either accept or reject any subscription. Any subscription rejected will be returned to the subscriber within 5 business days of the rejection date. Furthermore, once a subscription agreement is accepted, it will be executed without reconfirmation to or from the subscriber. Once we accept a subscription, the subscriber cannot withdraw it.

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, or divided into additional classes and such classes into one or more series.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system). The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer, and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker/dealer must make a special written determination that a penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These heightened disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the number of broker/dealers willing to make a market in our shares, reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market that may develop for our shares, and accordingly, customers in our securities may find it difficult to sell their securities, if at all.
The Company has no current plans to either issue any preferred stock or adopt any series, preferences or other classification of preferred stock.
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
No holder of any shares of Atlantic Acquisition Inc. stock has preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any unissued shares of any class of stock or any unauthorized securities convertible into or carrying any right, option or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any class of stock not disclosed herein.
NON-CUMULATIVE VOTING
Holders of Atlantic Acquisition Inc. common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.
CASH DIVIDENDS
As of the date of this prospectus, Atlantic Acquisition Inc. has not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, if any, capital requirements and our financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. The Company does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in business operations.
REPORTS
After this offering, Atlantic Acquisition Inc. will make available to its shareholders annual financial reports certified by independent accountants, and may, at its discretion, furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports.
INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Harold P. Gewerter, Esq. is legal counsel to the Company. Mr. Gewerter has provided an opinion on the validity of the common stock to be issued pursuant to this Registration Statement. Mr. Gewerter has also been retained as special counsel to our Company for purposes of facilitating our efforts in securing registration before the Commission and eventual listing on the OTCBB®.
The financial statements included in this prospectus as of March 31, 2016 and for the period from inception (December 29, 2015) through March 31, 2016 have been audited by Anton and Chia LLP., an independent registered public accounting firm, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report appearing elsewhere herein and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Atlantic Acquisition Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated on December 29, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada, to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company has no operations to date. Other than issuing shares to its original shareholders, the Company never commenced any operational activities.
The Company was formed by Miguel Dotres for the purpose of creating a corporation that could be used to consummate a merger or acquisition. Mr. Dotres served as Vice President, and Director, Benny Doro served as President and Director, Bob Bubeck served as Secretary and Director, and Margret M. McLaughlin served as Treasurer and Director. The directors determined next to proceed with filing a Form S-1.
Mr. Doro, President and Director, elected to commence implementation of the Company's principal business purpose, described below under "Plan of Operation". As such, the Company can be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity.
The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein. In order to provide assurances that no trading will occur in the Company's securities until a merger or acquisition has been consummated, all shares will be placed in escrow, and will not be released until such time as legal counsel has confirmed that a merger or acquisition has been successfully consummated. However, while management believes that the procedures established to preclude any sale of the Company's securities prior to closing of a merger or acquisition will be sufficient, there can be no assurances that the procedures established herein will unequivocally limit any shareholder's ability to sell their respective securities before such closing.
The Company is an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. The Company shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of—
(A) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
(B) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement under this title;
(C) the date on which such issuer has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
(D) the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a 'large accelerated filer', as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.
As an emerging growth Company, the Company is exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires Issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures.
Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
As an emerging growth company the company is exempt from Section 14A and B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.
The Company has irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Act. Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees
Atlantic Acquisition Inc. plans to rely exclusively on the services of our officers and director to establish business operations and perform or supervise the minimal services required at this time. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale and manageable by us. There are no full or part-time employees. The responsibilities are mainly administrative at this time, as our operations are minimal.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We use a corporate office located at 15321 NW 60th Ave Suite 109, Miami Lakes, FL 33014. Office space, utilities and storage are currently being provided free of charge at the present time at this address. There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities currently in use.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no known pending legal or administrative proceedings against the Company.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE ISSUER'S COMMON STOCK
Market Price
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public market in Atlantic Acquisition Inc. common stock. This prospectus is a step toward creating a public market for our stock, which may enhance the liquidity of our shares. However, there can be no assurance that a meaningful trading market will develop. Atlantic Acquisition Inc. and its management make no representation about the present or future value of our common stock. Other than pursuant to certain exceptions permitted by Rule 419, no trading in your common stock being offered will be permitted until the completion of a business combination meeting the requirements of Rule 419.
As of the date of this prospectus,
|
1. |
There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or other instruments convertible into, common equity of Atlantic Acquisition Inc.; |
|
2. |
There are currently 20,000,000 shares of our common stock held by our officers and director that are not eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act;
|
|
3. |
Other than the stock registered under this Registration Statement, there is no stock that has been proposed to be publicly offered resulting in
dilution to the current shareholder.
|
All of the presently outstanding shares of common stock (20,000,000) are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144, which became effective on February 15, 2008. Pursuant to the new Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a "shell company", as defined in Rule 405, ceases to be a "shell company" and files Form 10 information with the SEC, before a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Under the amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities, that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or an Issuer that has at anytime previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company as defined in Rule 405, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met: (1) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (3) the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (4) at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
At the present time, the Company is classified as a "shell company" under Rule 405 of the Securities Act. As such, all restricted securities presently held by the founders of the Company may not be resold in reliance on Rule 144 until: (1) the Company files Form 10 information with the SEC when it ceases to be a "shell company"; (2) the Company has filed all reports as required by Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Act for twelve consecutive months; and (3) one year has elapsed from the time the Company files the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
HOLDERS
As of the date of this prospectus, Atlantic Acquisition Inc. has 20,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock issued and outstanding held by 4 shareholders of record. DIVIDENDS
We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on either our preferred or common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our preferred or common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section must be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements included in this prospectus. PLAN OF OPERATION
Atlantic Acquisition Inc. was incorporated on December 29, 2015.
The Registrant intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues, in exchange for its securities. The Registrant has no acquisitions in mind and has not entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. Neither the Company's officers, directors, promoter nor any affiliates thereof have engaged in any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the Company and such other company as of the date of this registration statement.
The Company will obtain audited financial statements of a target entity. The Board of Directors does intend to obtain certain assurances of value of the target entity's assets prior to consummating such a transaction. These assurances consist mainly of financial statements. The Company will also examine business, occupational and similar licenses and permits, physical facilities, trademarks, copyrights, and corporate records including articles of incorporation, bylaws and minutes if applicable. In the event that no such assurances are provided the Company will not move forward with a combination with this target. Closing documents relative thereto will include representations that the value of the assets conveyed to or otherwise so transferred will not materially differ from the representations included in such closing documents.
The Registrant has no full time employees. The Registrant's officer has agreed to allocate a portion of his time to the activities of the Registrant, without compensation. Management anticipates that the business plan of the Company can be implemented by our officer devoting approximately 10 hours per month to the business affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer. See "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS"
The Company is filing this registration statement on a voluntary basis because the primary attraction of the Registrant as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle will be its status as an SEC reporting company. Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the Registrant.
GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN
The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. the company will upon effectiveness be required to file periodic reports as required by Item 15(d) of the Exchange Act and also that the company intends to file a form 8A registering the company under Section 12G of the Exchange Act within 5 business days of the effectiveness of this registration statement which will register the Company's common shares under the Exchange Act and upon the effectiveness of such registration statement, the company will be required to report pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act.
The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. See "Financial Statements." This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to shareholders of the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. The Company may acquire assets and establish wholly- owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
One of the methods the Company will use to find potential merger or acquisition candidates will be to run classified ads in the Wall Street Journal and similar publications periodically seeking companies which are looking to merge with a public shell. Other methods included personal contacts and contacts gained through social networking. There is no evidence showing that these methods of identifying a suitable merger opportunity will be successful. The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all shareholders and other factors. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. However, management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The costs of an initial public offering may include substantial attorney and auditor fees and the time factor can vary widely (could be as short as a month or take several years for example) and is unpredictable. A business combination with The Company may eliminate some of those unpredictable variables as the initial review process on a large active business could easily extend over a period of a year or more requiring multiple audits and opinions prior to clearance. On the other hand a business combination with the Company may raise other variables such as the history of the Company having been out of the targets control and knowledge. Thus they have to rely on the representations of the Company in their future filings and decisions. In addition, the additional step of a business combination may increase the time necessary to process and clear an application for trading. The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's or 10-KSB's, agreements and related reports and documents. If an entity is deemed a Shell Company the 8-K which must be filed upon the completion of a merger or acquisition requires all of the information normally disclosed in the filing of a Form 10. Once deemed a Shell Company, Rule 144 imposes additional restrictions on securities sought to be sold or traded under Rule 144. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act"), specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the 34 Act. Nevertheless, the officer and director of the Company has not conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, Benny Doro, an officer and director of the Company, who is not a professional business analyst. Management intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to its attention through present associations of Benny Doro, a Company officer and shareholder. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. Management will meet personally with management and key personnel of the business opportunity as part of his investigation. To the extent possible, the Company intends to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the above factors. The Company will not acquire or merger with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained.
Management of the Company, while not experienced in matters relating to the new business of the Company, will rely upon his own efforts in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. It is not anticipated that any outside consultants or advisors, other than the Company's legal counsel and accountants, will be utilized by the Company to effectuate its business purposes described herein. However, if the Company does retain such an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee earned by such party will need to be paid by the prospective merger/acquisition candidate, as the Company has no cash assets with which to pay such obligation. There have been no discussions, understandings, contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and none are anticipated in the future. In the past, the Company's management has never used outside consultants or advisors in connection with a merger or acquisition.
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of firms, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its corporate life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer. However, the Company does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until such time as the Company has successfully consummated such a merger or acquisition. The Company also has no plans to conduct any offerings under Regulation S.
ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. It may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, it is probable that the present management and shareholder of the Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, the Company's director may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of the Company's shareholders.
Benny Doro, Margret M. Laughlin, Bob Bubeck, and Miguel Dotres', shares must be sold at $0.02 per share, if at all, during the offering period. It is anticipated that, after the offering period is closed, Benny Doro, Margret M. Laughlin, Bob Bubeck, and Miguel Dotres' may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of his common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction at a negotiated price. No transfer or sales of any shares held in escrow shall be permitted other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), or Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), or the rules thereunder. Any and all such sales will only be made in compliance with the securities laws of the United States and any applicable state.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of its transaction, the Company may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be no assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after the Company has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and the Company is no longer considered a "shell" company. Until such time as this occurs, the Company will not attempt to register any additional securities. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the Company's securities may have a depressive effect on the value of the Company's securities in the future, if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance.
While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368a or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
With respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with target company management is expected to focus on the percentage of the Company which target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, the Company's shareholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in the Company following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event the Company acquires a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company's then-shareholders.
The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company's attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies on default and will include miscellaneous other terms.
As stated herein above, the Company will not acquire or merge with any entity that cannot provide independent audited financial statements. The Company will need to file such audited statements as part of its post-effective amendment (reconfirmation). The Company will be subject to all of the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. Included in these requirements is the affirmative duty of the Company to file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition, as well as the Company's audited financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K. In the event that a previously approved target acquisition was later voided by management, shareholders may be left without an operating company and thus the value of their shares would be greatly diminished.
The Company's Vice President has verbally agreed that he will advance to the Company any additional funds which the Company needs for operating capital and for costs in connection with searching for or completing an acquisition or merger. He has also agreed that such advances will be made interest free without expectation of repayment. There is no dollar cap on the amount of money that he may advance to the Company. The Company will not borrow any funds from anyone for the purpose of repaying advances made by the shareholder, and the Company will not borrow any funds to make any payments to the Company's promoters, management or their affiliates or associates. While this agreement is not binding, it is in Miguel Dotres' best interests to continue to advance any funds needed to advance this offering. He holds a significant number of shares and has already advanced all necessary money required for expenses. It is currently anticipated that Miguel Dotres will continue to have sufficient funds for these expenses, which are not expected to be significant.
The Board of Directors has passed a resolution which prohibits the Company from completing an acquisition or merger with any entity in which the Company's sole Officer, Director and principal shareholder or his affiliates or associates serve as officer or director or hold any ownership interest. Management is not aware of any circumstances under which this policy, through their own initiative may be changed.
COMPETITION
The Company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of the Company's combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.

* On October 18, 2013, Mr. Miguel Dotres resigned as the President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director of OICco Acquisition I Inc. and Terrance Owen, Jack Fishman and Emil Schiller were subsequently appointed as Directors and as a result became the sole members of the Board of Directors.
**On July 31, 2014, at the closing of the acquisition of VapAria, Mr. Miguel Dotres, the sole officer and director, resigned all of his positions with the company.
*** At the closing of the acquisition of On the Move Corp., Mr. Miguel Dotres will resign all his positions with the company.
(1) Remains a current officer and director as of the date of this filing.
Mr. Dotres became the officer and director of OICco Acquisition I, Inc. on January 14, 2013. That entity had previously closed it offering and filed an 8k thereon. Since his appointment Mr. Dotres has brought the annual and quarterly 34 Act filings up to date. Mr. Dotres has identified another company for acquisition and engaged in a share exchange agreement with Champion Pain Care Corp. Champion is not the first acquisition by the Company. On October 14, 2011, OICco Acquisition I, Inc. ("OICco") entered into an exchange agreement with Imperial Automotive Group, Inc. ("IAG") to exchange 40,000,000 shares of OICco in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Imperial Automotive Group, Inc. At the closing of the Exchange Agreement (which is contingent upon a 80% reconfirmation vote under Rule 419), Imperial Automotive Group, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of OICco and OICco acquired the business and operations of Imperial Automotive Group, Inc. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and conditions. Gary Spaniak, Sr., and Gary Spaniak, Jr. were appointed as directors of OICco Acquisition I, Inc. On July 2, 2012, the parties entered into an addendum to the exchange agreement agreeing to exchange an additional 45,000,000 shares of OICco Acquisition I, Inc. in exchange for the Imperial Automotive Group which addendum was terminated on August 20, 2012. The escrow was closed on December 11, 2012 and the funds released to the company and the shares delivered to investors. In July 2013 upon realizing that the expansion of the business was not viable and there were only minimal assets in IAG, it was negotiated between the owners of IAG and OICco I that IAG would remain as a wholly owned subsidiary but that the initial consideration given in the acquisition transaction should be returned and that the owners of IAG would be separately compensated with a smaller amount of stock.
On July 1, 2013 Mr. Dotres became officer and director of OICco Acquisition IV Inc. On April 11, 2014 OICco Acquisition IV, Inc. entered into that certain Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") with VapAria Solutions, Inc., a Minnesota corporation formerly known as VapAria Corporation ("VapAria") and the shareholders of VapAria (the "VapAria Shareholders") pursuant to which agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of VapAria from the VapAria Shareholders in exchange for certain shares of Oicco Acquisition IV's capital stock. On July 31, 2014 all conditions precedent to the closing were satisfied, including the reconfirmation by the investors of the prior purchase of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the requirements of Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the transaction closed.
At closing, OICco Acquisition IV Inc. issued the VapAria Shareholders 36,000,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of 10% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for the common stock and preferred stock owned by the VapAria Shareholders. The VapAria Shareholders were either accredited or sophisticated investors who had access to information concerning our company. The issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of that act.
As a result of the closing of this transaction, VapAria is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Oicco Acquisition IV and its business and operations represent those of Oicco Acquisition IV. Information regarding VapAria's business and operations, together with its financial statements, are included in the Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2014 (the "Post-Effective Amendment").
On April 11, 2014 OICco Acquisition IV, Inc. entered into that certain Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") with VapAria Solutions, Inc., a Minnesota corporation formerly known as VapAria Corporation ("VapAria") and the shareholders of VapAria (the "VapAria Shareholders") pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of VapAria from the VapAria Shareholders in exchange for certain shares of Oicco Acquisition IV's. On July 31, 2014 all conditions precedent to the closing were satisfied, including the reconfirmation by the investors of the prior purchase of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the requirements of Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the transaction closed.
On November 8, 2013, Mr. Miguel Dotres was appointed as the sole officer and director of Petrus Resources Inc. Petrus Resources Inc., is an effective Blank Check company.
On May 28, 2014, Mr. Miguel Dotres formed Nas Acquisition Inc., in the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate undertakings, including , but not limited to , selected mergers and acquisitions. After creating the company Mr. Dotres determined to proceed with filing a form S-1. On March 9, 2015 Nas Acqisition Inc. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with On the Move Corporation a private company incorporated in Florida. At the closing of the Agreement (which is contingent upon the effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement and a 80% reconfirmation vote under Rule 419 and other closing conditions), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, 41,000,000 shares of Nas Acquisition Inc. common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") will be issued to OTM shareholders holding 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of On the Move and 3,200,000 shares of Nas Acquisition Inc. to be designated Series A convertible preferred stock ("Preferred Stock") will be issued to On the Move shareholders holding 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of On the Move's Series A convertible preferred stock. On May 21, 2015 Nas Acquisition Inc. filed a Post-Effective amendment for registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission including information regarding On the Move's business and operations, together with its financial statements. On October 27, 2015 Nas Acquisition Inc. received Notice of Effectiveness.
On May 14, 2015, Mr. Miguel Dotres formed Das Acquisition Inc., in the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate undertakings, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. After creating the company Mr. Dotres determined to proceed with filing a form S-1.
Conflicts of Interest
Benny Doro, Margret M. Laughlin, Bob Bubeck, and Miguel Dotres, are the officers and director of Atlantic Acquisition Inc. which is a blank check company. Benny Doro, Margret M. Laughlin, and Bob Bubeck have no interest in any other blank check company. Each blank check company in which Mr. Dotres has an interest will have essentially the same structure and the same shareholders. If there are multiple blank check companies effective, all will be presented to the prospective purchaser and the purchaser will choose.
Our officers and director will offer the securities of our company on the same basis as any other blank check company in which he is involved and to the same group of intended shareholders. There is, of course, no guarantee that any offering will be subscribed in sufficient quantity to close the offering, but, in that event, investors will receive their money back and the offering will be withdrawn. Offers of each company's stock in which our officer and director is a principal will be made immediately upon the Securities and Exchange Commission deeming it effective and in order of the date on which the registration became effective. Therefore, an offering with the oldest effective date will be closed, before a more recent offering is closed.
Our officers and director are not full time employees of our company and is actively involved in other business pursuits. Mr. Dotres also intends to form additional blank check companies in the future that will have corporate structures and business plans that are similar or identical to ours. Accordingly, they may be subject to a variety of conflicts of interest. Since our officer and director is not required to devote any specific amount of time to our business, he will experience conflicts in allocating his time among their various business interests. Moreover, any future blank check companies that are organized by our officer and director may compete with our company in the search for a suitable target.
To minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from multiple corporate affiliations, our officer and director will not ordinarily make affirmative decisions to allocate a particular business opportunity to a particular acquisition vehicle. Instead, he will provide the available due diligence information on all available acquisition vehicles to the potential target, and ask the potential target to make a final selection. There is no assurance that a potential target will conclude that our company is best suited to its needs or that an acquisition will ever occur.
Board Committees
Atlantic Acquisition Inc. has not yet implemented any board committees as of the date of this prospectus.
Directors
The number of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, but in no event shall be less than one (1). Although we anticipate appointing additional directors, the Company has not identified any such person or any time frame within which this may occur.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The Securities and Exchange Commission's Policy on Indemnification
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the company pursuant to any provisions contained in its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, Atlantic Acquisition Inc. has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Atlantic of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Atlantic in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Atlantic will, unless in the opinion of Atlantic legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors Atlantic Acquisition Inc. Miami Lakes, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Atlantic Acquisition Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 2016 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period from December 29, 2015 (inception) through March 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 includes 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 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 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 the Company, as of March 31, 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from December 29, 2015 (inception) through March 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a net loss, does not have cash and no material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Atlantic Acquisition, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2016
Note 1 - Nature of Business
Atlantic Acquisition, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 29, 2015 with the principal business objective of merging with or being acquired by another entity and is therefore a blank check company.
The Company has elected a fiscal year end of September 30.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At March 31, 2016, there were no uncertain tax positions that require accrual.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, payables to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that be used to measure fair value:
Atlantic Acquisition, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2016
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
The Company's financial liabilities are measured at fair value and include its notes payable. These liabilities are subject to the measurement and disclosure requirements of ASC 820 and are considered to be Level 3 inputs.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Share-based Expense
ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation", prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
The company had no stock-based compensation plans March 31, 2016.
Share-based expense for the period ended March 31, 2016 was $0.
Cash
For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016.
Atlantic Acquisition, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2016
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings Per Share Information
FASB ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, at the reporting dates, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Going concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the period from December 29, 2015 (inception) through March 31, 2016, the company has a net loss of $3,325 and accumulated deficit of $3,325. Currently, the Company does not have cash and no material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-10 regarding development stage entities. The ASU removes the definition of development stage entity, as was previously defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), from the accounting standards codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.
In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (i) present inception-to-date information in the statement of income, cash flow and stockholders' equity, (ii) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (iii) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (iv) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
The Company has chosen to adopt the ASU for the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 2015. The adoption of this pronouncement impacted the Company by eliminating the requirement to report inception to date financial information previously required.
Atlantic Acquisition, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2016
Note 3 - Stockholders' Deficit
Common stock
The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 175,000,000 shares with a $0.0001 par value.
On December 29, 2015, the Company's 4 officers and directors, paid $3,325 expenses on behalf of the Company in Exchange for 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, each, par value $0.0001 per share.
There were 20,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2016.
Preferred Stock
The authorized preferred stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000 shares with a $0.0001 par value. There is no preferred stock outstanding
Note 4 - Income Taxes
Any net loss carryforward may be subject to the 382 limitation upon a change in control as defined therein.
As of March 31, 2016, the net loss carryforward for the Company was $3,325 of which $1,112 is 34% and valuation allowance resulting in a $- net deferred income tax asset. Our net loss carryforward will begin to expire in 2036.
We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods
presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Under ACS 740 "Income Taxes," when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carryforward period.
The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the year ended September 20, 2016 applicable under ACS 740. As a result of the adoption of ACS 740, we did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
On December 29, 2015, the Company's 4 officers and directors, paid $3,325 expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, each, par value $0.0001 per share.
Note 6—Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet through May 20, 2016, which is through the date of this filing, and determined there are no other events to disclose.
Dealer Prospectus Delivery Obligation
Until _________________2016, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is in addition to the dealers' obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.
PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 13 - OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
The following table sets forth the costs and expenses payable by Atlantic in connection with the sale of the common stock being registered. Atlantic has agreed to pay all costs and expenses in connection with this offering of common stock. Miguel Dotres is the source of the funds for the costs of the offering. Mr. Dotres has no agreement in writing to pay the expenses of this offering on behalf of Atlantic and thus such agreement to do so is not enforceable. The estimated expenses of issuance and distribution, assuming the maximum proceeds are raised, are set forth below.

ITEM 14 - INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Atlantic Acquisition Inc.'s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the indemnification of a present or former director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by the officer or director in connection with any action against such officer or director.
ITEM 15 - RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Since its inception of the Company through the date of this S-1, Atlantic Acquisition Inc. issued the following unregistered securities in private transactions without registering the securities under the Securities Act:
On December 29, 2015, our 4 officers and directors, paid $3,325 for expenses involved with the incorporation of the Company with personal funds on behalf of the Company in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, each, par value $0.0001 per share.
At the time of the issuance, the 4 purchasers were in possession of all available material information about us, as he was the only officer and director. On the basis of these facts, Atlantic Acquisition Inc. claims that the issuance of stock to its founding shareholders qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Atlantic believes that the exemption from registration for these sales under Section 4(2) was available because:
|
● |
They were an executive officer or director of Atlantic and thus had fair access to all material information about Atlantic before investing; |
|
● |
There was no general advertising or solicitation; and |
|
● |
The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. |
The price of the common stock issued to them was arbitrarily determined and bore no relationship to any objective criterion of value. At the time of issuance, Atlantic was recently formed or in the process of being formed and possessed no assets.

Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
i. If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
a. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
1. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
2. For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
