Item 1. Description of Business
Our History
FrameWaves, Inc. (the Company or FrameWaves) was originally incorporated under the name of Messidor Limited on December 23, 1985 as a development stage company for the purpose of engaging in all lawful transactions permitted under the State of Nevada, including the acquisition of various business opportunities to provide profit and maximize shareholder value.
On December 27, 2000, the shareholders, at a special meeting, changed the Companys name from Messidor Limited to FrameWaves, Inc. The shareholders also approved the acquisition of Corners, Inc. (Corners), a Nevada corporation, whereby the Company exchanged 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock for all of Corners issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Corners had incorporated on November 17, 1998 in the State of Nevada to provide custom framing for interior designers in conjunction with business contacts provided by Corners officers and directors. Since its inception, Corners has had limited operations.
Our Business
FrameWaves originally intended to use Corners as an operating subsidiary and to actively pursue the custom framing business by utilizing Corners business contacts to procure contracts for future operations, and to engage in a comprehensive and aggressive marketing campaign, including but not limited to, soliciting unknown but potential business contacts through direct mailings, media, and other mediums that might generate leads to contracts for future operations.
As of the date of this report, Framewaves has been unsuccessful in implementing its business plan and has no ongoing operations. Due to other obligations the Companys officers and directors have been unable to devote adequate time to developing the business and have yet to engage in any contract negotiations with frame suppliers, interior designers or retail consumers. Framewaves has had only limited operations since inception and has not generated any revenues since the fourth quarter of 2001.
The Company has now focused its efforts on seeking a business opportunity. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of that target company into the Company. In certain instances, a target company may wish to become a subsidiary of the Company or may wish to contribute assets to the Company rather than merge. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. The Company will provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market. We are now considered a blank check company.

We are not restricting our search to any particular industry or geographical area. We may therefore engage in essentially any business in any industry. Our management has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and extremely risky and will be made by management in the exercise of its business judgment. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to our company and shareholders.
Because we have no specific business plan or expertise, our activities are subject to several significant risks. In particular, any business acquisition or participation we pursue will likely be based on the decision of management without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders.
Sources of Opportunities
We anticipate that business opportunities may arise from various sources, including officers and directors, professional advisers, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals.
We will seek potential business opportunities from all known sources, but will rely principally on the personal contacts of our officers and directors as well as indirect associations between them and other business and professional people. Although we do not anticipate engaging professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations, we may retain such firms if management deems it in our best interests. In some instances, we may publish notices or advertisements seeking a potential business opportunity in financial or trade publications.
Criteria
We will not restrict our search to any particular business, industry or geographical location. We may acquire a business opportunity in any stage of development. This includes opportunities involving start up or new companies. In seeking a business venture, management will base their decisions on the business objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation in the real value of our company. We will not be controlled by an attempt to take advantage of an anticipated or perceived appeal of a specific industry, management group, or product.

In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider the following factors:
·
available technical, financial and managerial resources;
·
working capital and other financial requirements;
·
the history of operations, if any;
·
prospects for the future;
·
the nature of present and expected competition;
·
the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of the management;
·
the potential for further research, development or exploration;
·
the potential for growth and expansion;
·
the potential for profit;
·
the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, trade or service marks, name identification; and other relevant factors.
Generally, our management will analyze all available factors and make a determination based upon a composite of available facts, without relying on any single factor.
Methods of Participation of Acquisition
Management will review specific business opportunities and then select the most suitable opportunities based on legal structure or method of participation. Such structures and methods may include, but are not limited to, leases, purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures, other contractual arrangements, and may involve a reorganization, merger or consolidation transaction. Management may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation, or other form of organization.
Procedures
As part of the our investigation of business opportunities, officers and directors may meet personally with management and key personnel of the firm sponsoring the business opportunity. We may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and conduct other reasonable measures.
We will generally ask to be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity. These materials may include the following:
·
descriptions of product, service and company history; management resumes;
·
financial information;
·
available projections with related assumptions upon which they are based;
·
an explanation of proprietary products and services;
·
evidence of existing patents, trademarks or service marks or rights thereto;
·
present and proposed forms of compensation to management;
·
a description of transactions between the prospective entity and its affiliates;
·
relevant analysis of risks and competitive conditions;
·
a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements;
·
and other information deemed relevant.
Competition
We expect to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to acquire a business opportunity. The primary competition is from other companies organized and funded for similar purposes, small venture capital partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals.

Employees
The Company currently has no employees. Executive officers will devote only such time to the affairs of the Company as they deem appropriate, which is estimated to be approximately 20 hours per month per person. The need for employees will be addressed at such time operations prove successful.
