SUMMARY
OF OUR OFFERING
Prospectus
Summary
This
summary highlights selected information about our company, Cetrone Energy
Company. This summary is intended to highlight information contained
elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully read the entire prospectus,
including the section entitled "Risk Factors."
Our
Business
Cetrone
Energy Company (the “Company”) is a development stage company. The Company was
organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on 1/28/2008. We
formed our Company for the purpose of establishing a renewable fuel source for
agricultural operations, specifically within the Pacific
Northwest. Biodiesel is our initial intended product will be a
combination of both raw and/or waste vegetable oil and traditional petroleum
diesel. We believe this combination may reduce carbon emissions,
maintain a high level of engine performance while utilizing primarily renewable
resources that can be grown or produced locally. Our intended
product, while not technically difficult to produce, has a number of regulatory
hurdles which must be overcome before it can ever successfully be brought to
market. Moreover, there is a multitude of similar products already in
the market place.
Our
principal executive offices are located at our executive offices are located at
11010 E. Boundary Road, Elk, WA 99009, and our telephone number is: (509)
714-52366.
Our
Financial Situation
Since
inception of our Company we have incurred only losses. Our auditors have
indicated that there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a
going concern. The opinion issued by our auditors reflects uncertainty regarding
whether we have sufficient working capital available as of July 31, 2008 to
enable the Company to continue operating as a going concern.
We will
not be able to complete the development of our business plan or commence
operations without additional financing. We have no history of
operating profits, we have limited funds and we will continue to incur operating
losses in the foreseeable future.
In the
event we are successful raising proceeds through the sale of our shares of
common stock, we must become operational and generate profits. If we
cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations. Our
current funds will not sustain the Company’s operations for the next year.
In order to become profitable, we will need to generate revenues to offset
our cost of revenues, sales and marketing, and general and administrative
expenses. If we do not become profitable, we will need to raise additional
capital to sustain our operations. However, we may be unable to secure
additional financing on terms acceptable to us and we may not even be able to
obtain any financing at all. If our losses continue and we are unable to secure
sufficient additional financing, we may ultimately fail as a business and any
investment would be lost in its entirety.
Recent
Developments
We are a
development stage company that has on begun to commenced our planned principal
strategic operations and have no significant assets. Our business plan was
designed to create a viable business. We have filed this registration statement
in an effort to become a fully reporting company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in order to enhance our ability to raise additional capital.
Our operations to date have been devoted primarily to startup and development
activities, which include the following:
2.
Development of CEC’s business plan; and
Cetrone
Energy Company is attempting to become fully operational. In order to
generate revenues, CEC must successfully address the following
areas:
1. Start Production of Primary
Products: The Company must start approaching producers of the raw
materials to be used in the biodiesel products.
2. Develop and Implement
a Marketing Plan: In order to promote our company and
establish our public presence, we believe we will be required to develop and
implement a comprehensive marketing plan to sell our biodiesel
products. CEC intends to market initially through a website and by
attending trade shows. Without any marketing campaign, we may be
unable to generate interest in, or generate awareness of, our
company.
3. Create Customer
Loyalty: We are a small, start-up company that has not
generated any significant revenues and lacks a stable customer
base. It is critical that we begin to establish relationships to
potential customers by promoting quality products and services and then
delivering on a consistent basis.
Our
Offering
This
prospectus relates to the sale of a total of 1,900,000 shares of our common
stock. Upon the effective date of this registration statement, up to 1,500,000
shares may be sold by the Company with no minimum to be sold at a fixed price of
$0.08 per share. Up to 400,000 shares may sold by the selling
stockholders as set forth under the caption “Selling Stockholders”. The
distribution of the shares by the Selling Stockholders is not subject to any
underwriting agreement. We will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of our
shares at $0.08 per share. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of
the shares by the Selling Stockholders. We will bear all expenses of the
registration incurred in connection with this offering, but all selling and
other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by the Selling
Stockholders.
Summary

The
following table sets forth summary financial data derived from CEC’s financial
statements. The data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the related notes thereto as well as the "Management's Discussion and Plan

RISK
FACTORS
Investment
in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk and is suitable
only for investors of substantial financial means who have no need for initial
liquidity in their investments. Prospective investors should
carefully consider the following risk factors:
RISKS RELATING TO OUR
BUSINESS
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE
COMPANY AND WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY UPON WHICH YOU CAN BASE AN INVESTMENT
DECISION
Our
Company was formed on January 28, 2008, and we have no operating history upon
which you can make an investment decision, or upon which we can accurately
forecast future sales. You should, therefore, consider us subject to the
business risks associated with a new business. The likelihood of our success
must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently
encountered in connection with the formation and initial operations of a new
business.
OUR AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED
SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING
CONCERN
Our
auditor's report on our July 31, 2008 financial statements expresses an opinion
that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing
business. Because our Officer may be unable or unwilling to loan or advance any
capital to CEC, we believe that if we do not raise at least $30,000 from our
offering, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our
business plans within 12 months. Since there is no minimum and no refunds on
sold shares, you may be investing in a company that will not have the funds
necessary to continue to deploy its business strategies. See “July 31, 2008
Audited Financial Statements - Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm."
WE HAVE NO CUSTOMERS TO
DATE; AND MAY NOT DEVELOP SUFFICIENT CUSTOMERS TO STAY IN BUSINESS IN THE
FUTURE
Cetrone
Energy Company has not sold any products, and may be unable to do so in the
future. If the Company is unable to develop sufficient customers for its
products, it will not generate enough revenue to sustain its business resulting
in business failure and complete loss of any investment(s) made into the
Company.
WE ARE SEEKING ADDITIONAL
FINANCING TO FUND OUR BIOFUEL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE
TO OBTAIN FUNDING WHEN NEEDED, OUR BUSINESS WOULD FAIL
We need
additional capital to complete navigation of the regulatory issues we face,
locate, acquire and develop our manufacturing and storage facilities, and
acquire the vehicles necessary to deliver our product to our customers at their
location. We will be required to fund operations through the sale of
equity shares and will not be able to continue as a going concern if we are
unsuccessful in selling such shares. Any additional equity financing
may be dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have
rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our existing
common stock.
Furthermore,
debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve
restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating
flexibility. Our failure to successfully obtain additional future funding may
jeopardize our ability to continue our business and operations.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO
ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH RETAILERS OR ATTRACT CUSTOMERS, WE
WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH OPERATIONS
We intend
to establish relationships with those engaged in the agricultural industry,
primarily farmers, ranchers and those involved in the timber
industry. These industries currently use high volumes of conventional
petroleum diesel. There is intense competition for these
relationships with current product providers and we may not be able to attract
and retain retailers or customers’ interest in light of competitors with larger
budgets and pre-existing relationships. If we cannot successfully
secure these relationships are business would fail and any investment made into
the Company would be lost in its entirety.
OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON
CURRENT MANAGEMENT, WHO MAY BE UNABLE TO DEVOTE SUFFICIENT TIME TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF ARE BUSINESS PLAN, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE BUSINESS TO
FAIL
Cetrone
Energy Company is heavily dependent on the limited industry experience that our
sole Officer and Director, Michael Cetrone, brings to the
Company. Additionally, Mr. Cetrone is employed outside of Cetrone
Energy Company. Mr. Cetrone has been and continues to expect to be
able to commit approximately 10-12 hours per week of his time, to the
development of Cetrone Energy Company business plan in the next twelve months.
If management is required to spend additional time with his outside employment,
he may not have sufficient time to devote to Cetrone Energy Company, and,
Cetrone Energy Company would be unable to develop its business
plan.
AS A RESULT OF BECOMING A
REPORTING COMPANY, OUR EXPENSES WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY
As a
result of becoming a reporting company whose shares are registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Securities Act, our ongoing expenses are expected to increase
significantly, including expenses in compensation to our officers, ongoing
public company expenses, including increased legal, accounting expenses as a
result of our status as a reporting company, and expenses incurred in complying
with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. These increased expenses may negatively impact our ability to
become profitable.
CHANGING AND UNPREDICTABLE
AGRICULTURAL MARKET CONDITIONS MAY IMPACT THE DEMAND FOR OUR
PRODUCTS
There can
be no guarantee that current agricultural demand for fuel products will
continue. If other energy companies are successful developing
technologies like hydrogen fuel cells, then any carbon based fuel system may
become obsolete and undesirable in the marketplace. In such a
condition our products may well no longer be salable to our prospective
customers.
WE WILL RELY ON OTHERS FOR
PRODUCTION OF OUR BIOFUEL PRODUCTS; ANY INTERRUPTIONS OF THESE ARRANGEMENTS
WOULD DISRUPT OUR ABILITY TO FILL CUSTOMERS' ORDERS AND HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT
ON OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE
We will
be required to obtain products for our product by direct manufacture. Any
increase in labor, equipment, or other production costs could adversely affect
our cost of sales. Qualifying staff to manufacture our product is time-consuming
and might result in unforeseen manufacturing and operations problems. If we are
unable to meet our manufacturing commitments this will adversely affect our
ability to fill customer orders in accordance with required delivery, quality,
and performance requirements. If this were to occur, the resulting decline in
revenue would harm the business.
ANY MATERIAL INCREASE IN THE
COST OF THE RAW MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR COST OF SALES.
Our
products creation depends on a readily available supply of raw materials,
specifically petroleum diesel fuel and vegetable oils. Should either
of these products become unavailable or, if the price rises to levels making it
impossible to remanufacture our product for sale at reasonable costs, our
business could suffer and become unsustainable. Because of the size
of our business, we are subject to the vagaries of several commodity markets,
including light sweet crude, corn, and soybeans. These markets have
been historically volatile and unpredictable. If we are not able to
engage in some level of hedge against future price increases by trading in the
open market we may be unable to remanufacture our product at reasonable enough
cost to sustain operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON
STOCK
BECAUSE THERE IS NO MINIMUM
NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE SOLD AND THE COMPANY HAS NOT, AND MAY NEVER GENERATE
REVENUES, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL PRIOR TO US EVER BEGINNING OPERATIONS RESULTING
IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF ANY INVESTMENT MADE INTO THE COMPANY
We are
offering the public up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock; however, there
is no minimum amount of stock that must be sold prior to us utilizing the
proceeds from the offering. We have never generated revenues and we
may never be able to generate revenues in the future. As such we may
be forced out of business prior to ever beginning operations and generating
revenues in which case investors would lose their entire
investment.
WE ARE CONTROLLED BY CURRENT
OFFICER, DIRECTOR AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER
Our sole
officer and director beneficially own approximately 91% of the outstanding
shares of our common stock. If the full amount of common shares offered through
this registration statement is subscribed, are sole officer and director would
control 54% of the issued and outstanding common stock. So long as
our officer and director controls a majority of our fully diluted equity, he
will continue to have the ability to elect our directors and determine the
outcome of votes by our stockholders on corporate matters, including mergers,
sales of all or substantially all of our assets, charter amendments and other
matters requiring stockholder approval. This controlling interest may have a
negative impact on the market price of our common stock by discouraging
third-party investors.
IF YOU PURCHASE SHARES IN
THIS OFFERING, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL
DILUTION
The $0.08
per share offering price of the common stock being sold under this prospectus
has been arbitrarily set. The price does not bear any relationship to our
assets, book value, earnings or net worth and it is not an indication of actual
value. Accordingly, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will experience
immediate and substantial dilution. You may also suffer additional dilution in
the future from the sale of additional shares of common stock or other
securities.
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO MARKET
FOR CETRONE ENERGY COMPANY COMMON STOCK, BUT IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
DOES DEVELOP, OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE
There is
currently no market for Cetrone Energy Company common stock and there is no
assurance that a market will develop. If a market develops, it is anticipated
that the market price of Cetrone Energy Company common stock will be subject to
wide fluctuations in response to several factors including:
|
o
|
The
ability to complete the development of Cetrone Energy Company in order to
provide those products to the
public;
|
|
o
|
The
ability to generate revenues from
sales;
|
|
o
|
The
ability to generate brand recognition of the Cetrone Energy Company
products and services and acceptance by
consumers;
|
|
o
|
Increased
competition from competitors who offer competing services;
and
|
|
o
|
Cetrone
Energy Company financial condition and results of
operations.
|
We can
provide no assurance to investors that our common stock will be traded on any
exchange or electronic quotation service. While we expect to apply to the OTC
Bulletin Board, we may not be approved to trade on the OTCBB, and we may not
meet the requirements for listing on the OTCBB. If we do not meet the
requirements of the OTCBB, our stock may then be traded on the "Pink Sheets,"
and the market for resale of our shares would decrease dramatically, if not be
eliminated.
THERE ARE LEGAL RESTRICTIONS
ON THE RESALE OF THE COMMON SHARES OFFERED, INCLUDING PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS
UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. THESE RESTRICTIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE ABILITY OF INVESTORS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES
We
anticipate that our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock
rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules
regulate broker/dealer practices for transactions in "penny stocks." Penny
stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The
penny stock rules require broker/dealers to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature
and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer must also
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock,
the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson and monthly account
statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's
account. The bid and offer quotations and the broker/dealer and salesperson
compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing
prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing
before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules
require that prior to a transaction, the broker and/or dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number
of broker-dealers who may be willing to engage in the trading of our shares.
These additional penny stock disclosure requirements are burdensome and may
reduce all of the trading activity in the market for our common stock. As long
as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, holders of our common
stock may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
FUTURE SALES OF THE
COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK BY THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE
TO DECLINE
We cannot
predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of the Company’s common
stock or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price
prevailing from time to time. Sales by the Selling Shareholders named herein of
our common stock in the public market, or the perception that sales by the
Selling Shareholders may occur, could cause the trading price of our stock to
decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or
perceptions.
WE HAVE LIMITED FINANCIAL
RESOURCES AT PRESENT, AND PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING MAY NOT BE USED TO FULLY
DEVELOP ITS BUSINESS
Cetrone
Energy Company has limited financial resources at present; as of July 31, 2008
it had $2,100 of cash on hand. If it is unable to develop its business plan, it
may be required to divert certain proceeds from the sale of Cetrone Energy
Company stock to general administrative functions. If Cetrone Energy Company is
required to divert some or all of proceeds from the sale of stock to areas that
do not advance the business plan, it could adversely affect its ability to
continue by restricting the Company's ability to become listed on the OTCBB;
advertise and promote the Company and its products; travel to develop new
marketing, business and customer relationships; and retaining and/or
compensating professional advisors.
These
risk factors, individually or occurring together, would likely have a
substantially negative effect on Cetrone Energy Company business and would
likely cause it to fail.
This
prospectus includes forward-looking statements relating to revenue, revenue
composition, demand and pricing trends, future expense levels, competition in
our industry, trends in average selling prices and gross margins, the transfer
of certain manufacturing operations to contract manufacturers, product and
infrastructure development, market demand and acceptance, the timing of and
demand for products, customer relationships, employee relations, plans and
predictions for acquired companies and assets, future acquisition plans,
restructuring charges, the incurrence of debt, and the level of expected capital
and research and development expenditures. Such forward-looking statements are
based on the beliefs of, estimates made by, and information currently available
to the Company's management and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Any other statements contained herein (including without limitation
statements to the effect that the Company or management "estimates," "expects,"
"anticipates," "plans," "believes," "projects," "continues," "may," "could," or
"would" or statements concerning "potential" or "opportunity" or variations
thereof or comparable terminology or the negative thereof) that are not
statements of historical fact, reflect our current views with respect to future
events and financial performance, and any other statements of a future or
forward looking nature are forward looking statements. The actual results of the
Company may vary materially from those expected or anticipated in these
forward-looking statements. The realization of such forward-looking statements
may be impacted by certain important unanticipated factors, including those
discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Because
of these and other factors that may affect our operating results, our past
performance should not be considered as an indicator of future performance, and
investors should not use historical results to anticipate results or trends in
future periods. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of
any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described
in this and other documents that we file from time-to-time with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including subsequent Current Reports on Form 8-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING
PRICE
The $0.08
per share offering price of the common stock being sold under this prospectus
has been arbitrarily set. The price does not bear any relationship to our
assets, book value, earnings or net worth and it is not an indication of actual
value.
DILUTION
“Dilution”
represents the difference between the offering price of the shares of Common
Stock and the net book value per share of common stock immediately after
completion of the offering. "Net book value" is the amount that results from
subtracting total liabilities from total assets. The following table below sets
forth the dilution assuming the sale of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the securities
offered for sale in this offering by the Company:

PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION
Sales of Shares by Our
Company
The
Company plans to offer for sale on self-underwritten, best efforts, no minimum
basis 1,500,000 common shares at a fixed price of $0.08 per share. There is no
minimum number of common shares that we have to sell. There are no minimum
purchase requirements. The offering will be for a period of 180 days from the
effective date of this prospectus or terminated sooner at our sole
discretion.
Currently,
we plan to sell the shares in our Company’s offering through solicitations made
by our President, Mr. Michael Cetrone; he will not receive any commission from
the sale of any shares. Mr. Cetrone does not intend to make any general
advertisements. Mr. Cetrone intends to utilize his personal network of contacts
to solicit purchases of the common stock. Mr. Cetrone does not intend to utilize
any materials other than the registration statement and prospectus contained
therein in connection with any offers or sales of securities. Mr. Cetrone will
not register as a broker/dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Act") in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those
conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the
offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer.
These conditions are as follows:
|
|
The
person 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
participation;
|
|
|
The
person is not compensated in connection with his participation by the
payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or
indirectly on transactions in securities;
|
|
|
The
person is not, at the time of their participation, an associated person of
a broker-dealer; and
|
|
|
The
person meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the
Act in that he (a) primarily performs, or is intended to primarily perform
at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the
Issuer other than in connection with transactions in securities; and (b)
is not a broker-dealer, or an associated person of a broker-dealer, within
the preceding twelve (12) months; and (c) does not participate in selling
and offering of securities for any Issuer more than once every twelve (12)
months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a) (4) (iii) of
the Act. Mr. Cetrone is not subject to disqualification, is not being
compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the
payment of commission or any other remuneration based either directly or
indirectly on transactions in securities, and neither has been or is
currently a broker-dealer or associated with a broker-dealer. Mr. Cetrone
has not, during the last twelve months, and will not, during the next
twelve months, offer or sell securities for any other Issuer other than in
reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii) of the
Act.
|
Our
Company’s officer and director does not intend to purchase shares in this
offering.
We are
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and insofar as
we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant under
Regulation M. As a distribution participant, it would be unlawful for us, or any
affiliated purchaser, to directly or indirectly bid for, purchase, or attempt to
induce any person to bid for or purchase, a covered security during the
applicable restricted period. Note that Regulation M does not prohibit us from
offering to sell or soliciting offers to buy our securities pursuant to this
offering.
The
direct offering of our shares will start on the effective date of this
prospectus and continue for a period of up to 180 days unless earlier terminated
at our sole discretion. Our direct offering will commence on the date the
Securities and Exchange Commission declares this registration statement
effective. After the declaration of effectiveness, if you decide to subscribe
for any shares in this offering, you must do the following:
|
1.
|
execute
and deliver a subscription agreement; and
|
|
2.
|
deliver
a check or US$ denominated funds to us for acceptance or rejection. All
checks for subscriptions must be made payable to “Cetrone Energy
Company”
|
If an
underwriter is used in the resale of the shares, the Company will file a
post-effective amendment to disclose the name of the underwriter and the
material terms of any agreement.
We
reserve the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any
reason or for no reason. All funds from any rejected subscriptions will be
returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without deductions. Any incidental
interest on a returned subscription will also be submitted to the rejected
subscriber with a statement of calculation thereof based upon interest paid by
our bank. Subscriptions for securities will be accepted or rejected within five
business days after receipt by us.
Sales of Shares by Selling
Stockholders
The
persons listed in the following table plan to offer the shares shown opposite
their respective names by means of this prospectus. The owners of the shares to
be sold by means of this prospectus are referred to as the “selling”
shareholders”. Each Selling Stockholder purchased the securities
registered hereunder either in the ordinary course of business of the Company or
acquired the securities in exchange for their business purchased by the Company.
Other than registration rights granted by the Company in connection with the
issuance of such securities at the time of purchase of the securities to be
resold, no Selling Stockholder had any agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly with any person to distribute the securities. The Selling
Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents participating in the
distribution of the shares of our common stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any profit
from the sale of such shares by the Selling Stockholders and any compensation
received by any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may
agree to indemnify any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent that participates in
transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
In
competing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be
negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in
excess of customary commissions. Neither, we nor the selling stockholders can
presently estimate the amount of such compensation.
The
selling shareholders and any broker/dealers who act in connection with the sale
of the shares will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Acts of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on
any resale of the shares as a principal might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
If any
selling shareholders enters into an agreement to sell his or her shares to a
broker/dealer as principal and the broker/dealer is acting as an underwriter, we
will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which
this prospectus is a part, identifying the broker/dealer, providing required
information concerning the plan of distribution, and otherwise revising the
disclosures in this prospectus as needed. We will also file the agreement
between the selling shareholder and the broker/dealer as an exhibit to the
post-effective amendment to the registration statement.
We have
advised the selling shareholders that they and any securities broker/dealers or
others who will be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. We have
advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a “distribution” of the
shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling shareholder, any
“affiliated purchasers”, and any broker/dealer or other person who participates
in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) until their participation in that
distribution is complete. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is
participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class,
as is the subject of the distribution. A “distribution” is defined in Rule 102
as an offering of securities “that is distinguished from ordinary trading
transaction by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling
efforts and selling methods”. We have advised the selling shareholders that Rule
101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any “stabilizing bid” or
“stabilizing purchase” for purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price
of the common stock in connection with this offering.
To our
knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between
any Selling Stockholder and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding
the sale of shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling
Stockholders will pay all fees, discounts and brokerage commissions in
connection with any sales, including any fees to finders.
Any
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale under
Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this
prospectus. The shares of our common stock may be sold in some states only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states,
the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered
or qualified for sale or the sale is entitled to an exemption from
registration.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under Regulation M under the Exchange Act, any
person engaged in the distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities, subject to certain exceptions, with respect
to the common stock for a specified period set forth in Regulation M prior to
the commencement of such distribution and until its completion. In addition and
with limiting the foregoing, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which
provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common
stock by Selling Stockholders. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the
common stock offered hereby. There can be no assurance that any Selling
Stockholders will sell any or all of the common stock pursuant to this
prospectus.
We will
pay all expenses of preparing and reproducing this prospectus with respect to
the offer and sale of the shares of common stock registered for sale under this
prospectus, including expenses or compliance with state securities laws and
filing fees with the SEC. We expect such expenses related to the issuance and
distribution of the shares of common stock offered by us and the Selling
Stockholders to be approximately $8,200.
The
Company is registering for offer and sale by the holders thereof 400,000 of
common stock held by such shareholders. All the Selling Shareholders’
Shares registered hereby will become tradeable on the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The
following table sets forth ownership of the shares held by each person who is a
selling shareholder.

Section
15(g) of the Exchange Act
Our
shares are "penny stocks" covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated thereunder. They impose
additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities
to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouses). While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to
brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule
15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny
stock rules.
Rule
15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the
broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure
document.
Rule
15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny
stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently
confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information
concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule
15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a
customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of
compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock
transaction.
Rule
15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other
than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or
prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons
compensation.
Rule
15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers
with monthly account statements.
Rule
15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approved the transaction for the
customer's account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth
the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer
information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the
investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written
statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer
of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and,
the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North
American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history
of broker/dealers and their associated persons. The application of the penny
stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.
The NASD
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer,
a broker/dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment
is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced
securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that
speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some
customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to
recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect
of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock.
Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock
transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market
in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our
common stock.
Again,
the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any
manner whatsoever. Since our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange
Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers,
many broker/dealers may not want to make a market in our shares or conduct any
transactions in our shares. As such, your ability to dispose of your shares may
be adversely affected.
DESCRIPTION OF
SECURITIES
We have
2,200,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of July 31, 2008.
There is currently no public market for our common stock and there can be no
guarantee that any such market will ever develop.
Common
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each
share in the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders. There is no cumulative voting in the election of
directors.
The
holders of the common stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and as
declared, from time to time, by our board of directors, in its discretion, out
of any assets of the Company legally available.
Upon the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the remaining assets of
the Company available for distribution to stockholders will be distributed among
the holders of common stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of common
stock held by each.
Holders
of common stock generally have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or
conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are, when issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
Preemptive
Right
No holder
of any shares of Cetrone Energy Company’s 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 Cetrone Energy Company’s 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 of CEC’s directors.
Preferred
Stock
The
Company has no class of capital stock designated as preferred
stock.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Stockholders’
rights and related matters are governed by Nevada corporate law, our articles of
incorporation and our bylaws. Certain provisions of the Nevada Private
Corporations Law may discourage or have the effect of delaying or deferring
potential changes in control of the Company. The cumulative effect of these
terms may be to make it more difficult to acquire and exercise control of the
Company and to make changes in management. Furthermore, these provisions may
make it more difficult for stockholders to participate in a tender or exchange
offer for common stock and in so doing may diminish the market value of the
common stock.
One of
the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued shares of our common
stock may be to enable our board of directors to render it more difficult or to
discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company and thereby protect the
continuity of or entrench our management, which may adversely effect the market
price of our common stock. If in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations,
for example, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal
were not in the best interests of the Company, such shares could be issued by
the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more private
placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or
make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by
diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent
stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or
other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors,
by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or
otherwise.
Our
bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by our
board of directors, the chairman of the board, or our president, or as otherwise
provided under Nevada law.
Dividend
Policy
The
payment by us of dividends, if any, in the future rests within the discretion of
our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings,
capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors.
We have not paid any dividends since our inception and we do not intend to pay
any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but intends to retain all
earnings, if any, for use in our business.

DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
Background
Cetrone
Energy Company Inc. is a Nevada Corporation; incorporated on January 28, 2008.
We are a development stage business and have not begun operations or generated
any revenue to date.
Cetrone
Energy has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it
has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming
incorporated, Cetrone has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets,
nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Cetrone
is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of
Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business
plan or purpose.
Since our
inception, we have been engaged in business planning activities, including
researching the industry, developing our economic models and financial
forecasts, performing due diligence regarding potential geographic locations
most suitable for our products and identifying future sources of
capital.
Currently,
CEC has one Officer and Director, Michael Cetrone. Mr. Cetrone has assumed
responsibility for all planning, development and operational duties, and will
continue to do so throughout the beginning stages of the Company. Other than the
Officer/Director, there are no employees at the present time and there are no
plans to hire employees during the next twelve months. The
Company’s administrative office is located at 11010 E. Boundary Road, Elk,
WA 99009, and our telephone number is: (509) 714-5236
CEC
currently has no intention to engage in a merger or acquisition with an
unidentified company.
CEC’s
fiscal year end is December 31.
Business
of Issuer
We plan
to enter into the re-manufactured biofuels industry. CEC plans to
source raw materials needed for remanufacture domestically, then produce the
needed biofuel in small batches tailored to the needs of customer demand until
such time as larger quantities can be produced. Profit margins will
presumably increase as batch size and storage limits can be
increased. We cannot guarantee however, that demand for our product
will ever increase.
The vast
majority of all agricultural enterprises use distillate fuel oil in their
operations. We believe our intended product(s) could represent a real
alternative and, because most of the constituent components will be domestically
produced, a more stable and cost effective source for their fuel energy
needs.
Our
largest target market will be large agribusinesses. In order to reach
that market we must begin by establishing and proving our fuel reliable and as
easily distributed as current competitors. This means tanker truck
delivery to the farm for repackaging into their existent
containers. We will also have to provide any and all needed parts for
conversion of machinery to our fuel should conversion be needed.
Competition
While the
biofuels industry is fairly new and undeveloped at this time, it competes
directly with the established infrastructure of the domestic oil and gas
industry. As such, our competition represents a large, well
developed, mature industry with well established distribution and delivery
systems. Our direct competitors include companies like Exxon/Mobile,
Chevron, British Petroleum and Texaco. We will essentially begin be
providing a ‘boutique’ type fuel outlet providing more environmentally friendly
fuel at a competitive cost.
There can
be no assurance that Cetrone Energy Company will ever be able to compete with
any of the competitors described herein. In addition, there may be
other competitors the company is unaware of at this time that would also impede
or prevent the company’s success. Please see RISK FACTORS described
herein.
Marketing
If and
when the Company has secured its manufacturing facilities and delivery vehicles,
the Company intends to embark on a 3 prong marketing campaign.
First, we
will solicit business directly contacting our initial target market through
phone solicitation, mailings and advertisement. Our initial target
market consists of many small to medium size agribusiness operations with
limited funds availability. Our marketing will demonstrate how our
product is cost effective compared to the competition, more environmentally
friendly and capable of meeting ‘green’ initiatives set forth by the state and
federal governments in converting to more environmentally friendly
fuels.
Second,
we will launch our website which will allow our established customers to place
orders, peruse additional products and other services as they become
available. Our website will have pictures of the various products,
comparisons of emissions to that of ordinary distillate fuels, costs, delivery
fees, lead times for order and all other information needed to make clear and
compelling business decisions for our clients.
Third, we
will schedule booth space at several of the agribusiness trade shows held
locally and nationally. For example, this may include everything from
the National Western Stock Show held annually in Denver, CO to small county
fairs in Idaho and Washington states. This will complement our first
two strategies and begin to get us large general exposure to the
public. While agribusiness is our primary market, any vehicle
currently rated for diesel fuel can use biodiesel without conversion or
upgrade. By exposing ourselves to this market, we expand beyond our
normal customer base to the ‘at large’ public market.
If these
three prongs prove successful, we believe we will be able to attract the
attention of successively larger customers which will increase our volume and
drive down our costs to manufacture and deliver the
products. However, the Company can provide no assurance we would be
successful even if we accomplish the above goals.
Products
and Services
The
Company plans to begin by identifying and discussing volume pricing contracts
with petroleum distillate and vegetable oil manufacturers located within the
Pacific Northwest. The Company will also solicit local restaurants
for contracts to remove their waste vegetable oil. Regardless of how
the raw materials are acquired, they will then be transferred as necessary into
holding tanks where they will be stored until recombination and processing can
begin.
The
Company intends to offer two (2) basic types of fuel based on climatic
conditions. The summer mixture will contain only vegetable oils and
petroleum distillate. This will work well in machinery in temperature
ranges above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. We will also create a winter
mixture that contains additional chemistry to prevent cold weather gelling of
the fuel. This is required in fuels of this kind below 35 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Our
pricing will vary with market conditions like any commodity of its
type. We believe that we will be able to charge competitive market
rates by controlling our costs at the source. Because we will focus
primarily on delivery to the site, our delivery costs will more than offset the
costs needed to maintain a standard brick and mortar facility where the customer
must bring his own means of transport and storage. Agribusiness is
accustomed to paying premiums for services of this nature in the course of
business. In the current climate, fuel delivery for home heating oil
and other petroleum distillates occur for a premium of $.10 to $.30 per gallon
above retail price. We anticipate leveraging these same margins for
our products.
There can
be no guarantee or assurance we will be able to negotiate and obtain the
required raw material at terms that are favorable to us resulting in us
operating at a loss, which may result in a complete loss of any investment made
into the Company.
Product
Launch
Upon
completion of this offering, the Company will immediately begin to research the
permit and licensing needed for the Company to proceed. In
anticipation of approval of these permits and licenses, the Company will seek to
identify potential locations for a small manufacturing facility which meets all
applicable code and environmental standards. The facility will contain raw
product holding tanks, mixing tanks and secure storage for other chemicals
needed for production.
At the
same time, we will also begin development of our marketing image and the
supporting materials needed for branding our product. Logo, colors,
font and all other components needed for appropriate branding will be decided
and implemented. Where necessary the Company will also seek to secure
appropriate trade mark/trade name designations.
Investors
must be aware that we will require additional financing beyond what is
anticipated to be raised in this offering to get to a level of
operations.
Competitive
Advantages
The
Company believes there are several competitive advantages with biofuels over the
established petroleum fuel industry as it relates to
agribusiness. Pure petroleum distillates are some of the most
volatile commodity markets in the world because of the closed nature of the
markets on these products. Biofuel enjoys the advantage of only
needing approximately 10% pure distillate to make its product. The
rest comes from renewable vegetable sources like peanuts, corn, and
soybeans. Biodiesel, specifically, does not require processing beyond
the addition of conventional diesel to the vegetable oil for combustion in a
current diesel engine. Presuming that we can obtain our raw
production materials by leveraging contracts with suppliers locking in our
prices, we will then be able to manufacture our product below market cost and
profit from the sale. Additionally, we will be able to leverage the
current ‘green’ initiatives being established to promote our product as more
environmentally friendly than our conventional competition. We
anticipate that we should be able to reduce our manufacturing requirements by
focusing on agribusiness and existing diesel machinery. Automobiles
and aircraft require a much higher octane fuel for hotter, more explosive
combustion.
At this
point however, we cannot provide any assurance or guarantee that we will be
successful and capitalize upon the believed competitive advantages described
above.

date of this Prospectus, Cetrone Energy has not hired any Consultants to assist
in the development of our website. When and if this registration
becomes effective, the Company will interview and hire a Website Consultant to

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This
section must be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements
included in this prospectus.
Plan
of Operation
We are a
development stage company, incorporated on January 28, 2008 and have not started
operations or generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
We plan to enter into the re-manufactured biofuels industry. See “Description of Business”
contained herein.
Our
auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors
believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business
for the next twelve (12) months. Our auditors’ opinion is based on the
uncertainty of our ability to establish profitable operations. The opinion
results from the fact that we have not generated any
revenues. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than
operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others
in our Company. We must raise cash to implement our project and begin our
operations. The money we raise in this offering will last 12 months, however we
will require additional beyond the proceeds raised in this offering to get to a
level of operations.
We have
only one Officer and one Director who is one and the same person. He is
responsible for our managerial and organizational structure which will include
preparation of disclosure and accounting controls under the Sarbanes Oxley Act
of 2002. When these controls are implemented, he will be responsible for the
administration of the controls. Should he not have sufficient experience, he may
be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be
subject to sanctions and fines by the Securities and Exchange Commission which
ultimately could cause you to lose your investment.
We must
raise cash to implement our business plan. The minimum amount of funds raised
from the offering that we feel will allow us to begin to implement our business
strategy is $30,000. We feel if we can raise the maximum amount of the offering,
$120,000, the Company will be able to accelerate the implementation of its
business strategy. However, there can be no assurance provided that
even if we do raise the maximum from this offering that we will ever get to a
level of operations or generate a profit.
Since
incorporation, the Company has financed its operations through minimal initial
capitalization and nominal business activity. As of July 31, 2008 we had
$2,100 of cash on hand. We had total liabilities of $2,525 of which
expenses were related to start-up costs.
To date,
the Company has not implemented its fully planned principal operations or
strategic business plan. Presently, CEC is attempting to secure sufficient
monetary assets to increase operations. CEC cannot assure any investor
that it will be able to enter into sufficient business operations adequate
enough to insure continued operations.
The
Company’s ability to commence operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds
to be raised in this offering. If CEC does not raise at least the
minimum offering amount, it will be unable to establish a base of operations,
without which it will be unable to begin to generate any revenues in the future.
If CEC does not produce sufficient cash flow to support its operations
over the next 12 months, the Company will need to raise additional capital by
issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going
concern. There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such
financing. CEC can not assure any investor that, if needed, sufficient
financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.
Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for
operations to continue and any investment made by an investor would be lost in
its entirety.
CEC
management does not expect to incur research and development costs within the
next twelve months (12).
CEC
currently does not own any significant plant or equipment that it would seek to
sell in the near future.
CEC
management does not anticipate the need to hire employees over the next twelve
(12) months. Currently, the Company believes the services provided by
its officer and director appears sufficient at this time.
The
Company has not paid for expenses on behalf of any director. Additionally,
CEC believes that this policy shall not materially change within the next twelve
months.
The
Company has no plans to seek a business combination with another entity in the
foreseeable future.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market
Information
As of the
date of this prospectus, there is no public market in our common stock.
This prospectus is a step toward creating a public market for our common
stock, which may enhance the liquidity of our shares. However, there can
be no assurance that a meaningful trading market will ever develop.
Cetrone Energy Company and its management make no representation about the
present or future value of CEC’s common stock.
As of the
date of this prospectus, there are no outstanding options or warrants to
purchase, or other instruments convertible into, common equity of Cetrone Energy
Company and 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 current shareholders.
As of the
date of this document we have approximately 2,200,000 shares of common stock
outstanding held by three (3) shareholders. These shares of common stock
are restricted from resale under Rule 144 until registered under the Securities
Act, or an exemption is applicable.
In
general, under Rule 144 as amended, a person who has beneficially owned and held
"restricted" securities for at least one year, including "affiliates," may sell
publicly without registration under the Securities Act, within any three-month
period, assuming compliance with other provisions of the Rule, a number of
shares that do not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the common stock
then outstanding or, (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the common stock
during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. A person who is not
deemed an "affiliate" and who has beneficially owned shares for at least two
years would be entitled to unlimited re-sales of such restricted securities
under Rule 144 without regard to the volume and other limitations described
above.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Conflict
of Interest
The
current officer and director of The Company is involved in other business
activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business
opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available,
such person may face a conflict in selecting between our business interest and
their other business interests. The policy of the Board is that
any personal business or corporate opportunity incurred by an officer or
director of CEC must be examined by the Board and turned down by the Board in a
timely basis before an officer or director can engage or take advantage of a
business opportunity which could result in a conflict of interest.
On March
7,2008, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares to Michael Cetrone,

pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a
transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.
On May

registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.
There are
no promoters being used in relation with this offering. No persons who may, in
the future, be considered a promoter will receive or expect to receive any

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS
WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Since
inception until the present time, the principal independent accounting for the

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION
POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
Our
By-laws provide for the elimination of the personal liability of our officers,
directors, corporate employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the
provisions of Nevada law. Under such provisions, the director, officer,
corporate employee or agent who in her capacity as such is made or threatened to
be made, party to any suit or proceeding, shall be indemnified if it is
determined that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our
Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and persons controlling our
Company pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, we have
been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public
policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the
court's decision.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Cetrone
Energy Company (A Development Stage Company)
11010
East Boundary Road
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cetrone Energy Company (A Development
Stage Company) as of July 31, 2008, and the related statements of income and
changes in member’s equity, and cash flows for the period then
ended. 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 audits.
We
conducted my 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. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Cetrone Energy Company (A Development Stage Company) as of
July 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period then ended 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 5 to the financial
statements, the Company faces competition from existing companies with
considerably more financial resources and business connections. In the event
that Company fails to meet the anticipated levels of performance there is
significant doubt that the Company will be able to meet the debt obligations
related to the non public offering. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding
those matters also are described in Note 5. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A summary
of significant accounting policies of Cetrone Energy Company (A Development
Stage Enterprise) (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the
Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies presented in these
footnotes conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements. These financial statements and notes are
representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their
integrity and objectivity. The Company has not realized revenues from its
planned principal business purpose and is considered to be in its development
state in accordance with SFAS 7, “Accounting and Reporting by
Development State Enterprises.”
NOTE
1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Development Stage
Company
Cetrone
Energy Company was incorporated on January 28, 2008 in the State of
Nevada.
The
principal business of the Company is to develop “green” renewable fuel source
for agricultural operations, specifically biodiesel. The Company’s
year-end is December 31. The Company has devoted substantially all of its
efforts to business planning, and development. Additionally, the Company has
allocated a substantial portion of their time and investment in preparing the
Company for public reporting status, and the raising of capital.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Accounting
Method
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
In May,
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (SFAS 163). This Statement
requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an
event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit
deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement
also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance
contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for
premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase
comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts
by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about
financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure
requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided
to users of financial statements. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all
interim periods within those fiscal years,
CETRONE

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 –
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements (continued)
except
for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management
activities. This Statement requires that disclosures about the risk-management
activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period
(including interim periods) beginning after issuance of this Statement. Except
for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The
adoption of this statement will have no material effect on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles” (SFAS No. 162). This Statement identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The sources of accounting principles1
that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order of authority as
follows:
a. FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement
133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and
Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the
FASB
b. FASB
Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and
Accounting Guides and Statements of Position
c. AICPA
Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been
cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF
D-Topics)
d.
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting
Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of
Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and
prevalent either generally or in the industry.
The
adoption of this statement will have no material effect on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging
CETRONE
ENERGY COMPANY
(A
Development State Enterprise)
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements (continued)
Activities—an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS No. 161). This statement changes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows.
This
Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement
133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be
disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This
disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks
that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative
instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more
complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the
derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives
during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related
contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an
entity’s liquidity from using derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires
cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial
statements locate important information about derivative
instruments.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative
Instruments
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 133”), as amended by SFAS No. 137,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB No. 133”, and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 149,
“Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities”. These statements establish accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a
hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition
on the hedging NOTE 2 – SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
Derivative Instruments
(continued)
derivative
with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect
of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a
hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of
change.
At July
31, 2008, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be
considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Earnings Per
Share
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which
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.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued
expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost
basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments,
approximates fair value at July 31, 2008.
Provision for
Taxes
Income
taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income
Taxes.” Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to
reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax
assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than
not” standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an
asset.
At July
31, 2007, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate
of 34% of approximately $825 principally arising from net operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company
cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize
the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the
net deferred tax asset has been established at June 30, 2008. The
significant components of the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2008 were as
follows:

At July
31, 2008, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$2,425, which expire in the year 2028. The above estimates are based upon
management’s decisions concerning certain elections which could change the
relationship between net income and taxable income. Management decisions are
made annually and could significantly vary from the estimates.
Use of
Estimates
The
process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial
statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ
from estimated amounts.
NOTE
3– CAPITAL STOCK
Common
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock. All
shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per
share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders
of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all
of the directors of the Company.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
5 – GOING CONCERN
As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had working capital of
approximately $1,575 and an accumulated deficit incurred through July 31,
2008. The Company is currently putting technology in place, which
will, if successful, mitigate these factors, which raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in
existence.
Management
has established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company’s products,
and decrease debt. The Company plans to source raw materials needed
for remanufacture domestically, then produce the needed biofuel in small batches
tailored to the needs of customer demand until such time as larger quantities
can be produced. Profit margins will presumably increase as batch
size and storage limits can be increased. However, currently the Company is
dependent upon raising proceeds from the sale of its common stock or through
debt financing in order to continue the development of its proposed
business. Management intends to seek additional capital from new
equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase
liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business
plan.
An
estimated $120,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase
development through the next fiscal year. The timing and amount of
capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for
products and services and the availability of opportunities for expansion
through affiliations and other business relationships. Management
intends to seek new capital from new equity securities issuances to provide
funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement
its business plan.
