SUMMARY
OF OUR OFFERING
Our
business
We
are a start-up stage company. We are a company without revenues or operations,
we have minimal assets and have incurred losses since inception. The Company’s
business plan is to provide equipment leases; leasing to small and middle market
companies primarily within the hospitality, spa and resort communities. Such
items may include audio visual equipment, computer systems; laundry equipment;
and various health spa apparatuses. The Company plans to limit its
leasing operations to credit worthy companies.
We
have no revenues, have a loss since inception, have minimal operations, have
been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities and
loans from our officers and directors to fund operations.
BlueStar's
administrative office is located at 1761 Washington Way, Suite 205, Richland,
Washington 99352. Our telephone number is (509) 781-0137.

RISK
FACTORS
Please
consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common
stock. We cannot assure any investor that we will successfully
address these risks.
Risk Factors Relating to
BlueStar Financial Group, Inc.
1.
BlueStar’s auditor has substantial doubts as to BlueStar’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
Our
auditor's report on our June 30, 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 BlueStar we believe that if we do not raise at least $37,500 from our
offering, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our
business plans within twelve (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 “June 30, 2008 Audited Financial
Statements - Auditors Report."
Because
the Company has been issued an opinion by its auditors that substantial doubt
exists as to whether the company can continue as a going concern, it may be more
difficult for the company to attract investors. BlueStar incurred no net loss
for the period from inception to June 30, 2008 and we have no revenue. Our
future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future
profitable operations from the sale of our products. We plan to seek additional
funds through private placements of our common stock. Our financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.
2. We have no
independent operating history upon which to assess our prospects or ability to
be
successful in the future.
We
are a development stage company with no operating history, and our prospects and
ability to compete in the industry must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered with any new business. Though
we were incorporated in 2002, there has been no business conducted in the
Company until only recently. Our lack of operating history will make it
difficult for investors to assess the quality of our management and our ability
to operate profitably. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
implement our business strategies, that any of our strategies will be achieved
or that we will be able to operate profitably.
3. We will need
additional capital to finance our growth, and we may not be able to obtain it on
acceptable terms, or at all, which may limit our ability to grow and compete
in the
leasing market.
We
will require additional financing to expand our business through the acquisition
of additional equipment. Financing may not be available to us or may
be available to us only on terms that are not favorable. The terms
of most credit facilities offered to competitors in the equipment
leasing industry generally restrict a company’s ability to incur additional
debt. We can expect that the terms of any indebtedness we may incur may restrict
our ability to incur additional debt. If we are unable to raise additional funds
or obtain capital on acceptable terms, we may have to delay, modify or abandon
some or all of our growth strategies and we will fail.
4.
Because management does not have any technical experience in the leasing sector,
our business has a high risk of failure.
While
management has training and experience in project estimating, cost accounting,
retail store openings, personnel management and the compliance issues
surrounding public entities, management does not have technical training in
leasing. As a result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of
opportunities in the leasing sector without the aid of consultants. Also, with
no direct training or experience, our management may not be fully aware of the
specific requirements related to working in the leasing industry. Management’s
decisions and choices may not be well thought out and our operations, earnings
and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a
result.
Risks Relating to Our
Leases
5.
We will need to re-lease or sell equipment as leases expire to continue to
generate sufficient funds to meet our obligations, finance our growth and
operations and pay dividends. We may not be able to re-lease or sell equipment
on favorable terms, or at all.
Our
business strategy entails the need to re-lease equipment as current leases
expire to generate sufficient revenues to meet obligations and finance growth
and operations. The ability to re-lease equipment will depend on general market
and competitive conditions. Some of our competitors may have greater access to
financial resources and may have greater operational flexibility. If we are not
able to re-lease equipment or to do so on favorable terms, we may be required to
attempt to sell the equipment to provide funds for debt service or operating
expenses. Our ability to re-lease or sell equipment on favorable terms or
without significant off-lease time could be adversely affected by depressed
conditions in the hospitality and resort industry and equipment industries,
bankruptcies, the effects of terrorism and war, the sale of other equipment by
financial institutions or other factors.
6. Lease defaults
could result in significant expenses and loss of
revenues.
If
we are unable to agree upon acceptable terms for a lease restructuring, then we
have the right to repossess equipment and to exercise other remedies upon a
lessee default. However, repossession after a lessee default, typically result
in greater costs than those incurred when equipment is returned at the end of a
lease. These costs include legal expenses that could be significant,
particularly if the lessee is contesting the proceedings or is in bankruptcy.
Delays resulting from repossession proceedings also would increase the period of
time during which, the equipment does not generate rental revenue. In addition,
we may incur substantial maintenance, refurbishment or repair costs that a
defaulting lessee has failed to pay and that are necessary to put the equipment
in a codition suitable for re-lease or sale, and we may need to pay off liens on
the equipment to obtain clear possession and to remarket the asset
effectively.
The
standards of maintenance observed by our lessees and the condition of equipment
at the time of sale or lease may affect the values and rental rates of our
equipment. Under each of our leases, the lessee is primarily responsible for
maintaining the equipment. A lessee’s failure to perform required maintenance
during the term of a lease could result in a diminution in the value of an
equipment, an inability to lease the equipment at favorable rates or at all and
would likely require us to incur maintenance costs upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the lease to restore the equipment to an acceptable
condition prior to sale or re-leasing.
8. Our lessees may
have inadequate insurance coverage or fail to fulfill their respective indemnity
obligations, which could result in us not being covered for claims asserted
against us and may negatively affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Although
we do not expect to control the operation of our leased equipment, our ownership
of the equipment could give rise, in some jurisdictions, to strict liability for
losses resulting from their operation. Our lessees will be required to indemnify
us for, and insure against, liabilities arising out of the use and operation of
the equipment, including third-party claims for death or injury to persons and
damage to property for which we may be deemed liable. Lessees are also required
to maintain public liability, property damage risks insurance on the equipment
at agreed upon levels.
We
cannot assure you that the insurance maintained by our lessees will be
sufficient to cover all types of claims that may be asserted against us. Any
inadequate insurance coverage or default by lessees in fulfilling their
indemnification or insurance obligations, as well as the lack of available
insurance, could reduce the proceeds upon an event of loss and could subject us
to uninsured liabilities, either of which could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
9.
Competitors with more resources may force us out of business.
The
leasing industry is highly competitive. Many Company competitors are
significantly larger and have substantially greater financial, marketing and
other resources and have achieved public recognition for their services.
Competition by existing and future competitors could result in an inability to
secure adequate consumer relationships sufficient enough to support Company
endeavors. BlueStar cannot be assured that it will be able to compete
successfully against present or future competitors or that the competitive
pressure it may face will not force it to cease operations.
10.
The company has not identified any equipment or lessees thus an investor cannot
assess all the risks of investment.
The
company has not identified any equipment or lessees. An
investor cannot assess all of the potential risks of an investment in the
company because all of the equipment to be purchased and the lessees to whom the
equipment will be leased have not been identified. A prospective
investor will not have complete information as to the manufacturers of the
company’s equipment, the number of leases to be entered into, the specific types
and models of equipment to be acquired, or the identity, financial condition and
creditworthiness of the companies who will lease our
equipment. Investors must rely upon the judgment and ability of our
officer and director in his selection of equipment to purchase, the evaluation
of equipment manufacturers, the selection of lessees and the negotiation of
leases.
Risks Related to the
Ownership of Our Shares
11.
Because there is no minimum number of shares required to be sold and the Company
has not, and may never generate revenues, our business may fail prior to the end
of the 365 day offering period resulting in a complete loss of any investment
made to the Company.
We
are offering up to 5,000,000 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 the end of the potential two year offering period
resulting in which case investors would lose their entire
investment.
12. Our common shares
have no public market, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market
will develop.
Prior
to this offering, there has not been a market for our common shares. 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.
If
you purchase shares in this offering, you will pay a price that was not
established in a competitive market. Rather, you will pay a price that was
arbitrarily determined. The public market may not agree with or accept this
price valuation, in which case you may not be able to sell your shares at or
above the initial public offering price.
13. The market price
and trading volume of our shares may be volatile and may be affected by market
conditions beyond our control.
Even
if an active trading market for the shares develops, the market price of our
shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. If the
market price of the shares declines significantly, you may be unable to resell
your shares at or above your purchase price, if at all. We cannot assure you
that the market price of the shares will not fluctuate or decline significantly
in the future.
In
the past, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. These market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in
the trading price of the shares, which could cause a decline in the value of
your investment. You should also be aware that price volatility may be greater
when the public float and trading volume of the shares is
low.
14.
If we complete a financing through the sale of additional shares of our common
stock in the future, then shareholders will experience dilution.
The
most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the
sale of shares of our common stock. Any sale of common stock will result in
dilution of equity ownership to existing shareholders. This means that, if we
sell shares of our common stock, more shares will be outstanding and each
existing shareholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then
outstanding. To raise additional capital we may have to issue additional shares,
which may substantially dilute the interests of existing shareholders.
Alternatively, we may have to borrow large sums, and assume debt obligations
that require us to make substantial interest and capital payments.
15.
Purchasers in this offering will have limited control over decision making
because Paul Voorhees, the company’s President, director and shareholder
controls nearly all of the company’s issued and outstanding common
stock.
Paul
Voorhees, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns
96.62% of the outstanding common stock at the present time. As a result of such
ownership, investors in this offering will have limited control over matters
requiring approval by the Company security holders, including the election of
directors. Assuming the maximum amount of shares of this offering is sold, Mr.
Voorhees would retain 57.66% ownership in the Company’s common
stock. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for the
Company’s other stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of BlueStar’s
common stock in the event the Company enters into transactions which require
stockholder approval. In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law could have
the effect of making it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to
acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of
the Company. For example, Nevada law provides that not less than two-thirds vote
of the stockholders is required to remove a director for cause, which could make
it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the Board of Directors.
This concentration of ownership limits the power to exercise control by the
minority shareholders.
16. Because our securities are
subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your
shares.
Our
shares as penny stocks are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on

Notes:
1 The
category of General Working Capital may include, but not be limited to,
inventory procurement, printing costs, postage, telephone services, overnight
delivery services and other general operating expenses.
2 The
above figures represent only estimated costs.
Legal
and accounting fees refer to the normal legal and accounting costs associated
with filing this Registration Statement as well as the costs associated with the
Company’s obligations to the SEC from filing required quarterly and annual
reports under the SEC acts.
No
proceeds from the direct public offering will be paid to officers and
directors.
A
total of $7,400 has been raised from the sale of stock to our Officers and
Directors. The President and Director’s stock is restricted and is not
being registered in this offering. One of the purposes of the offering is to
create an equity market, which allows BlueStar to more easily raise capital,
since a publicly traded company has more flexibility in its financing offerings
than one that does not.
The
price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us
to raise up to a total of $100,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no
relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of
value. Among the factors considered were:
*
|
Our
lack of operating history
|
|
*
|
The
proceeds to be raised by the offering
|
|
*
|
The
amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in
proportion to
|
|
*
|
The
amount of stock to be retained by our existing Stockholders,
and
|
|
*
|
Our
relative cash requirements.

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. In this offering, the level of
dilution is increased as a result of the relatively low book value of BlueStar’s
issued and outstanding stock. This is due in part to shares of Common Stock
issued to the Company’s officers and directors totaling 7,400,000
shares at $0.001 per share versus the current offering price of $0.03 per share.
Please refer to the section titled “Transactions with Related Persons,
Promoters and Certain Control Persons” on Page __, for more information.
BlueStar’s net book value on June 30, 2008, was $2,900. Assuming that
all of the 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s new issued shares offered are sold,
and in effect the Company receives the maximum proceeds of this offering from
shareholders, BlueStar’s net book value will be approximately $0.0123306 per
share. Therefore, any investor will incur an immediate and substantial dilution
of approximately $0.0177 per share while the Company’s present stockholders will
receive an increase of $0.011939 per share in the net tangible book value of the
shares that they hold. This will result in a 58.90% dilution for purchasers of
stock in this offering.
In the
event that 25% of the offering or 1,250,000 shares is achieved, The
Company’s net book value will be approximately $0.004675 per share. Therefore,
any investor will incur an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately
$0.0253 per share while the
present stockholders will receive an increase of $0.004279 per share in the net
tangible book value of the shares they hold. This will result in a 84.43% dilution for purchasers of
stock in this offering.
The following table
illustrates the dilution to the purchasers of the common stock in this
offering. While this offering has no minimum, the table below
includes an analysis of the dilution that will occur if 25%, 50%, 75% of the
shares are sold, as well as the dilution if all shares are
sold:

SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS
The
following table sets forth the shares beneficially owned, as of June 30, 2008,
by the selling security holders prior to the offering contemplated by this
prospectus, the number of shares each selling security holder is offering by
this prospectus and the number of shares which each would
own beneficially if
all such offered shares are
sold.
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
rules. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a
security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to
vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes
the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also
deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right
to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and
Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial
owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial
owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial
interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment
power.
None
of the selling security holders is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of
a registered broker-dealer. Each of the selling security holders has
acquired his, her or its shares pursuant to a private placement solely for
investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of such
securities. The shares were offered and sold to the selling security
holders at a purchase price of $0.001 per share pursuant to the exemption from
the registration under the Securities Act. The selling security
holders are affiliates or controlled by our affiliates and none of the selling
security holders are now officers and directors of our Company.
The
percentages below are calculated based on 7,400,000 shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding. We do not have any outstanding options, warrants or
other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common
stock.

material changes to this prospectus.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING
The
offering consists of a maximum number of 5,000,000 shares being offered by
BlueStar at $0.03 per share in a direct public offering. In addition, certain
selling shareholders are offering 740,000 shares of their common stock at the
same price until our shares are trading on the OTC BB. At time they may sell at
the prevailing market price, but they will be subject to Rule 144 because of
their control position with the Company.

the offering will be conducted on a best-efforts basis utilizing the efforts of
the officers and directors of the Company. Potential investors include,
but are not limited to, family, friends and acquaintances. The intended methods
of communication include, without limitation, telephone, personal contact and
small meetings of friends, family and business associates. In his endeavor
to sell this offering, they do not intend to use any mass advertising methods
such as the internet or print media.

agreements and immediately upon the acceptance of the investor by the Company as
a shareholder, funds will be deposited into the bank accounts of the Company.
There can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold.
The
officers and directors of BlueStar will receive no commissions for any sales
they originate on the Company’s behalf. The Company believes that its officers
and directors, Paul Voorhees and Nicholas Pelletiere, are exempt from
registration as a broker under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, he:
1.
Is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in
Section 3(a)39 of the Act; and

months shall begin with the last sale of any security included within one rule
415 registration.
BlueStar’s
officers and directors may not purchase any securities in this
offering.
There
can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold. As of
the date of this prospectus, BlueStar has not entered into any agreements or
arrangements for the sale of the shares with any broker/dealer or sales agent.
However, if BlueStar were to enter into such arrangements, BlueStar 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 in the prospectus.
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 BlueStar has 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 the date of this Prospectus, BlueStar has not
identified the specific states where the offering will be sold.
The
proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering will be payable to Delos
Stock Transfer Company-Escrow Account fbo BlueStar Financial Group, Inc.
("Escrow Account") and will be deposited in a minimal interest or non-interest
bearing bank account until the proceeds are deposited into the accounts of the
Company. No interest will be paid to any subscriber. All
subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable and should be delivered to
Delos Stock Transfer Company. Failure to do so will result in checks
being returned to the investor who submitted the check. All subscription
funds will be held in the Escrow Account pending confirmation of good funds by
the bank holding the Escrow Account and then released to the Company upon
acceptance of the investor as a shareholder. The escrow agent will continue to
receive funds and perform additional disbursements until either the maximum
offering is achieved, the Company’s Board of Directors elects to terminate the
offering prior the sale of all of the shares registered or the allotted time
period of this offering expires in accordance with the terms of this prospectus,
whichever event first occurs.
Investors
can purchase common stock in this offering by completing a Subscription
Agreement which will be provided by the Company and sending it together with
payment in full to Delos Stock Transfer Company, 762 South U.S. Highway 1, Suite
159, Vero Beach, Florida 32962. All payments must be made in United States

to or from the subscriber. Once BlueStar accepts a subscription, the subscriber
cannot withdraw it.
There
will be no underwriters used, no dealer's commissions, no finder's fees, and no
passive market making for the shares being offered by BlueStar. All of these
shares will be issued to business associates, friends, and family of the current
BlueStar’s shareholders. The Officers and Directors of BlueStar will not

substantial duties as Officers and Directors that are not in connection
with the sale of securities, and has not nor will not participate in the sale of
securities more than once every twelve (12) months.
Selling
Shareholders
There
has been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded
on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the effective date of
the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market
maker file an application with FINRA for our common stock to be eligible for
trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market
maker who has agreed to file such application. The selling
security holders will be offering the shares of common stock being covered by
this prospectus at a fixed price of $0.03 per share until a market develops and
thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The fixed
price of $0.03 has been determined arbitrarily. See "Determination of Offering
Price" on page 9.
Once
a market has been developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or
distributed from time to time by the selling security holders directly to one or
more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be
changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the
following methods: (a) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which
the broker solicits purchasers; (b) privately negotiated transactions; (c)
market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal
securities laws); (d) at the market to or through market makers or into an
existing market for the shares; (e) through transactions in options, swaps or
other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and (f) a combination
of any of the aforementioned methods of sale.
In
the event of the transfer by any of the selling security holders of its common
shares to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus
and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the
filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or
other transferee in place of the selling security holder who has transferred
his, her or its shares.
In
effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling security holders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from a selling security holder or, if any of
the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a
purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those
customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a
selling security holder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock
at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the
broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the
price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling security
holder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the
selling security holder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as
principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in
transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other
broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales
by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time
of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated
transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or
receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described
above.
The
selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with
the selling security holders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common
stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.
From
time to time, any of the selling security holders may pledge shares of common
stock pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements with brokers.
Upon a default by a selling security holder, their broker may offer and sell the
pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of
common stock, the selling security holders intend to comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to
each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other
necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required
in the event any of the selling security holders defaults under any customer
agreement with brokers.
To

registration statement will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers,
the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common

We

Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
Penny
Stock Regulations
Our
Common Stock is currently considered a "penny stock" under federal securities
laws (Penny Stock Reform Act, Securities Exchange Act Section 3a (51(A)) since
its market price is below $5.00 per share. Penny stock rules generally impose
additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell
or recommend such shares to certain investors.
Broker-dealers
who sell penny stock to certain types of investors are required to comply with
the SEC's regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. If an exemption is
not available, these regulations require broker-dealers to make a suitability
determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser; receive the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction and provide certain written
disclosures to the purchaser. These rules may affect the ability of
broker-dealers to make a market in, or trade our shares. In turn, this may make
it very difficult for investors to resell those shares in the public
market
This
offering will be conducted on a best-efforts basis utilizing the efforts of Paul
Voorhees, the President and a director of the Company. Potential investors
include, but are not limited to, family, friends and acquaintances of Mr.
Voorhees. The intended methods of communication include, without limitation,
telephone and personal contact. In his endeavors to sell this offering, Mr.
Voorhees does not intend to use any mass advertising methods such as the
Internet or print media.
Funds
received by Mr. Voorhees in connection with sales of BlueStar’s securities will
be transmitted immediately into the Company’s bank account. There can be no
assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold.
Mr.
Voorhees will not receive commissions for any sales he originates on BlueStar’s
behalf. The Company believes that Mr. Voorhees is exempt from registration as a
broker under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, Mr. Voorhees:
·
|
Is
not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in
Section 3(a)39 of the Act; and
|
·
|
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
|
·
|
Is
not an associated person of a broker or dealer;
and
|
·
|
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 paragraph (a)4(i) or
(a)4(iii) of 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.
BlueStar’s
officer and director may not purchase any securities in this
offering.
There
can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares will be sold. As of the date
of this Prospectus, the Company has not entered into any agreements or
arrangements for the sale of the shares with any broker/dealer or sales agent.
However, if BlueStar were to enter into such arrangements, the Company 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 in the prospectus.
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 the Company has 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 the date of this Prospectus, BlueStar has not identified the
specific states where the offering will be sold. BlueStar may file a
pre-effective amendment indicating which state(s) the securities are to be sold
pursuant to this registration statement.
The
proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering will be payable to
BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. and will be deposited in the Company’s bank
account. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable and should be
delivered to BlueStar Financial Group, Inc., 1761 George Washington Way, Suite
205, Richland, Washington 99352.
Failure
to do so will result in checks being returned to the investor who submitted the
check. The Company will continue to receive funds until the date when the sale
of all 5,000,000 shares is completed or the Company decides to terminate the
offering. The Company may, at its discretion, extend the offering up
to two (2) years from the date the offering was declared effective. The Company
will deliver stock certificates attributable to shares of common stock purchased
directly to the purchasers within ninety (90) days of the close of the
offering.
Investors
can purchase common stock in this offering by completing a Subscription
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 99(b)) and sending it together with
payment in full to Paul Voorhees, President, BlueStar Financial Group, Inc.,
1761 George Washington Way, Suite 205, Richland, Washington 99352. 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 reserves the right to either
accept or reject any subscription. Any subscription rejected within the
offering period 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
BlueStar accepts a subscription, the subscriber cannot withdraw it.
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 through15g-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 FINRA'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.
FINRA
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 FINRA believes that there is a high probability that
speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some
customers. The FINRA 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.

Blue
Sky Restrictions on Resale
If
a selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this
registration statement in the United States, the selling security holders will
also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,”
with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of
exemption from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for
example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for securities of
issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial
information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard &
Poor’s. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to
advise a selling security holder which states our common stock is exempt from
registration with that state for secondary sales.
Any
person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder
under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also
have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.
When
the registration statement becomes effective, and a selling security holder
indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to
identify whether it will need to register or will rely on an exemption there
from.

BlueStar
Financial Group, Inc. was incorporated on July 12, 2002, in the state of Nevada
and is a development stage company. BlueStarh 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, BlueStar has not made any
significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers,
acquisitions or consolidations. BlueStar 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.
BlueStar
has yet to commence planned operations to any significant measure. As of the
date of this Prospectus, the Company has had only limited start-up operations
and has not generated any significant revenues. The Company believes that, if it
obtains the minimum proceeds from this offering, it will be able to implement
the business plan and conduct business pursuant to the business plan for the
next 12 months.
Business
BlueStar
Financial Group, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 12, 2002.
The Company has the principal business objective of working toward establishing
“small ticket” equipment leases within a small niche of the equipment leasing
market. The Company intends to provide cost effective “small ticket item”
leasing to small and middle market companies primarily within the hospitality,
spa and resort communities. Items such as audio visual, computer systems,
laundry and health spa equipment, are a few of the types of equipment
contemplated by the Company that will be made available for lease to credit
worthy companies.
Since
becoming incorporated, the Company has not made any significant purchases or
sales of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or
consolidations. BlueStar Financial Group has never declared bankruptcy, it has
never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action
or proceedings. Our fiscal year end is December 31st.
As
of June 30, 2008, the date of the Company's last audited financial statements,
BlueStar has raised $7,400 through the sale of common stock. There is
approximately $500 cash on hand and in the corporate bank accounts. BlueStar
currently has no liabilities. In addition, BlueStar anticipates additional costs
associated with this offering will be approximately $15,000. As of the date of
this prospectus, we have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our
business operations. The following financial information summarizes the more
complete historical financial information as indicated on the audited financial
statements of BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. filed with this
prospectus.
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 customers most suitable
for our services, investigating equipment manufacturers, costing of future lease
contracts and identifying future sources of capital.
Currently,
BlueStar has two Officers and Directors. Our Officer and Director have 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.
Proposed
Equipment
The
Company intends to acquire and lease a diversified portfolio of equipment. The
Company intends to invest primarily in what it deems to be relatively
low-technology, low-obsolescence types of equipment. These types of equipment
would include a variety of items that are not dependent on high-technology
design or applications for their usefulness to lessees, and are expected to be
less subject to rapid obsolescence than types that are so
dependent.
Equipment
acquisition will be subject to the officer and director or his agents obtaining
information and reports, and undertaking inspections and surveys he deems
appropriate to determine the probable economic life, reliability
and
productivity of the equipment, its competitive position with respect to other
equipment and its suitability and desirability as compared with other equipment.
Purchases of new equipment for lease will typically be made
directly
from
a manufacturer or its authorized dealers, either under a purchase agreement for
large quantities of such equipment, through lease brokers, or on an ad hoc basis
to meet the needs of a particular lessee. There can be no assurance that
favorable purchase agreements can be negotiated with equipment manufacturers or
their authorized dealers or lease brokers. In addition, the Company may enter
into sale/leaseback transactions in which the Company will purchase equipment
from companies that will then simultaneously lease the equipment from the
Company. In
some
cases, the Company may purchase equipment jointly with other Affiliates or with
unaffiliated third parties, and hold title directly or through special purpose
entities, in which case the Company would co-own the special purpose entity with
such other Affiliates of unaffiliated third parties.
The
following is a more detailed description of the various types of equipment that
the Company may purchase and lease. The types of equipment are listed in
alphabetical order, and the discussion is not intended to imply any order of
emphasis in the Company's acquisition policies.
Computer
and Computer-related High Technology Equipment. This type of
equipment includes a variety of items including:
·
|
Small
Computer Systems, Personal Computers and Workstations. Small computer
systems and personal
|
computers
are used alone or in networks by a variety of businesses for various functions,
including
accounting,
sales management, administration and inventory control. Workstations are
generally high
performance
engineering and design systems that are more complex than small computer systems
and
personal
computers.
·
|
Computer
Peripheral Equipment. Devices used with a computer system's mainframe or
central
|
processing
unit.
·
|
Mainframe
Computers. Large central processing units, typically manufactured by IBM
and compatible
|
with
software designed by IBM.
·
|
CAE/CAD/CAM
Equipment. Computer aided engineering, design and manufacturing systems
housing
|
advanced
computer and communications technologies and sophisticated product data
management
software.
·
|
Energy
Equipment. Energy equipment includes cogeneration facilities, transmission
lines, generation
|
facilities,
compression and pumping equipment and other processing and treatment equipment,
as well as
energy
management systems.
·
|
portable
steel storage sheds, furniture, fixtures, tables, counters, desks, chairs,
cabinets and numerous
|
other
items generally used in hotels and resorts, plants, storage and distribution
facilities and offices.
·
|
General
Purpose Plant/Office Equipment. Plant/office equipment includes racking,
shelving, storage
|
bins.
·
|
Graphic
Processing Equipment. Graphic processing equipment includes print setters,
printing presses,
|
automatic
drafting machines and all equipment that is used for the visual display of
designs, drawings
and
printed matter. Printing presses come in a variety of sizes depending on the
applications for which
they
are used. Some printing presses are of a single color, whereas others can apply
up to eight colors.
Phototype
setters are used for the setting of type for publications such as newspapers and
magazines.
Computerized
type-setters have become common in recent years, as they simplify
type-setting,
correction
of mistakes and lay-out of printed pages. Automatic drafting machines are
computer
controlled
visual displays of drawings, which enable designers to make changes in
engineering drawings
without
the time required to make a completely new drawing by hand.
·
|
Audio/Visual
Equipment. Televisions, radios, sound systems and related
items. These come in
a
|
variety
of sizes and configurations.
·
|
Laundry
Items. These include washers, dryers and laundry item
dispensers.
|
·
|
Health
and Spa. These items include massage tables, tanning beds,
specialty chairs, lighting systems,
|
aqua
beds and related equipment.
Lease
Terms
The
initial lease terms will vary as to the type of equipment, but will generally be
for 36 months to 84 months. In addition, the Company may, under appropriate
circumstances, engage in other short-term or "per diem" leases when the officer
and director deems it in the best interest of the Company and consistent with
its overall objectives.
The
equipment will be leased to third parties primarily pursuant to leases with
scheduled rents that will return less than the purchase price of the equipment
during the initial term of the lease. These include leases where rental payments
are based upon equipment usage. Lease rentals during comparable terms are
ordinarily higher under leases that provide rents that are less than the full
purchase price than those that return the full purchase price to the lessor. As
a result, our officer and director believes that well-structured leases of this
type will help the Company satisfy its investment objectives.
The
Company will seek initial lease terms during which a lessee may not cancel the
lease or avoid the lease obligation. However, where our officer and director
deems it to be in the Company's best interest, because of favorable lease terms,
anticipated high demand for particular items of equipment or otherwise, it may
permit an appropriate cancellation clause.
Our
President and director believes that the Company will be able to lease or sell
its equipment profitably after the initial lease terms are established, although
no assurances can be given that it will. Many of the Company's initial lessees
may be expected to renew their leases or purchase the equipment they are leasing
and using in their business.
Industry
Leasing
has become one of the major methods by which American businesses finance their
capital equipment needs. According to information published by the Equipment
Leasing Association (the "ELA"), a leasing industry trade association, total
U.S. business investment in equipment increased annually from $376.2 billion in
1992 to a peak of $796 billion in 2000, before declining to $668 billion in 2003
and an estimated $709 billion in 2004. The ELA estimates that over 80% of U.S.
companies lease some or all of their capital equipment. The total U.S. equipment
leasing volume, according to the ELA, increased annually from $121.7 billion in
1992 to a peak of $247 billion in 2000, before declining to $208 billion in 2003
and an estimated $218 billion in 2004. The volume of equipment lease financing
reflects general economic conditions, and as the economy slows or builds
momentum, the demand for productive equipment generally slows or builds, and
equipment lease financing volume generally decreases or increases. The U.S.
economy experienced recession during 2001 and 2002 and the volume of equipment
financing contracted as a result.
In
addition to fluctuations in demand for equipment, investment returns from
equipment leasing may be affected by prevailing interest rates, as alternative
financing structures and costs affect lease pricing. The U.S. economy has
recently experienced a period of relatively low interest rates. While low
interest rates may initially enhance the value of existing long term lease
investments with higher locked in lease rates, lower interest rates will
potentially reduce the lease rates available on new lease financing
transactions.
Although
BlueStar anticipates growth in the economy and in demand for equipment in the
future, many uncertainties may affect the equipment financing industry. These
uncertainties range from the potential near term effects of conflict in the
Middle East, to the potential long term effects of the many new accounting and
disclosure rules and regulations imposed on public companies by Congress, the
Securities and Exchange Commission and accounting regulators in the wake of
highly publicized business failures and accounting scandals. BlueStar is unable
to predict what, if any, effect these and other developments will have on the
economy in general and on capital investment in equipment by U.S. business and
lease financing in particular.
Marketing
The
Company's marketing strategy is to increase its volume of lease financing by
diversifying and expanding its lease origination channels. The Company intends
to implement this strategy by (i) maintaining, selectively expanding and
supporting a high quality network of independent lease originators, (ii)
developing specialty programs in conjunction with its lease originators for
specific vendor or customer groups, including franchisees, (iii) developing
direct links with independent lease originators in order to further automate
transactions between the Company and its lease originators and (iv) developing
Internet capabilities that are expected to increase the flow of potential lease
transactions and permit e-commerce transactions among the Company, equipment
vendors and lessees.
The
Company is committed to implementing leading edge technologies which can be used
in the equipment leasing industry to streamline and automate the lease
application and approval process. The Company has determined that, with certain
exceptions, the most efficient means of achieving this goal is by customizing
off-the-shelf software applications and hardware that can be tailored to the
Company's operating requirements for a relatively small additional investment.
The Company believes that such off-the-shelf products can be scaled to various
lease funding volumes, are generally more stable and less costly than products
the Company might develop or have developed
solely
for its use, and are easier to integrate with other commercially available
products. The Company generally avoids custom software programming so as to
limit costs of adapting new technology where possible. The Company
believes
that by selecting and integrating superior customizable off-the-shelf software
applications, including periodic upgrades made available by software developers
at a relatively low cost, the Company will efficiently maintain its competitive
position and enhance the services it offers to its independent lease
originators.
In
addition, the Company's interactive Web site and Internet marketing program will
be developed. The Company's Internet presence will be designed to create a new
channel of potential lease financing transactions and to accommodate e-commerce
transactions. The Company anticipates that it will establish an icon which will
appear on the Web site of various equipment manufacturers and vendors. Viewers
of the manufacturers' and vendors' sites will
be
able to click on the Company's icon and connect directly to the Company's Web
site. The Company's Web site will contain information concerning equipment lease
financing available through the Company and will allow potential lessees to
submit lease applications directly to the Company entirely over the Internet.
The Company will retain certain software development and Internet consulting
firms to develop the Company's proposed Internet system.
Competitive
Business Conditions
The
market for financing in the small-ticket segment of the equipment leasing
industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a number of national,
regional and local finance companies. The Company also competes
against
captive finance companies affiliated with major equipment manufacturers,
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and conventional
leasing companies. Many of the Company's competitors, as well as potential
competitors, possess substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and
other resources than the Company. The Company's competitors and potential
competitors include far larger, more established companies that have access to
capital markets for unsecured commercial paper and investment grade rated debt
instruments, and to other funding sources that may be unavailable to the
Company. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to compete
successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures
faced by the Company will not materially adversely affect its business,
operating results and financial condition.
Need
For Government Approval
There
are no restrictive rules or regulations for the sale and leasing of
equipment. The Company will utilize outside collection agencies to ensure
compliance in the area of collections. There are rules, specific to each
State, concerning the inventory and franchise taxes however, the lessee is
responsible for filing and payment of such taxes that might apply to
them.
Number
of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees
BlueStar
is currently in the development stage. During this development period, BlueStar
plans to rely exclusively on the services of Paul Voorhees and Nicholas
Pelletiere, the officers and directors, to establish business operations and
perform or supervise the minimal services required at this time. BlueStar
believes that its operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable
by one individual. There are no full or part-time employees. Mr. Voorhees’s
and Mr. Pelletiere’s responsibilities are mainly administrative at this time, as
the Company’s operations are minimal.
Upon
the implementation of the Company’s business plan, line employees will
specifically be hired to work either the hospitality or the resort component of
the business. The Company will select employees who are familiar and
experienced with the components respectively. Extensive and ongoing
training programs will further increase the knowledge of BlueStar’s
employees. Besides product knowledge, customer relations will also be
emphasized. The Company will implement customer recognition programs
where employees are rewarded for providing outstanding customer
service.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
This
section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that
reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like:
believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions,
or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place
undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the
date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical results or our predictions.
We
are a development stage company and have not started operations or generated or
realized any revenues from our business operations.
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 12 months. Our auditor's opinion is based on our suffering initial
losses, having no operations, and having a working capital deficiency. The
opinion results from the fact that we have not generated any revenues and no
revenues are anticipated until we complete the development of our website,
network infrastructure, and transaction processing systems; complete our initial
development; secure third parties to conduct a number of traditional retail
operations, We believe the technical aspects of our website, network
infrastructure, and transaction processing systems will be sufficiently
developed to use for our operations. 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
business plan and begin our operations. The money we raise in this offering will
last 12 approximately months.
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.
This
section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that
reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like:
believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions,
or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not
place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as
of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking states are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical results or our predictions.
Our
auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is
substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next
twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is
because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until
we begin marketing our products to customers. Accordingly, we must raise cash
from sources other than revenues generated from leases. Our only
other source for cash at this time is investments by others in this
offering.
We
must raise cash to implement our project. The minimum amount of funds raised
from the offering that we feel will allow us to implement our business strategy
is $37,500. We feel if we can raise the maximum amount of the offering
($150,000), the Company will be able to accelerate the implementation of its
business strategy by hiring more experienced marketing and leasing
consultants.
The
initial capitalization rate on lease placement will determine our future success
or failure. The creation and implementation of new leases have a relatively
fixed administrative cost regardless of the monetary size of the lease.
Therefore, the Company must determine well in advance of any pricing decision
and placement of such a lease the fixed costs associated with the lease. By
keeping general and administrative expenses at a minimum, the Company believes
that it can place “small ticket” leases at a price that will insure that the
Company can be competitively priced and still be able to return a profit on
the business placed.
It
is essential to the Company's success that it can demonstrate timely delivery of
the products and service menu at a price that is agreeable to potential
customers. The company anticipates that if it is to attract customers from
competitors, not only will we have to offer a willingness to offer a wide range
of equipment, but will also have to be in a position to be competitive in its
pricing.
The
Company's success is also reliant on its ability to purchase products for lease
directly from the manufacturer. We cannot state whether we will be successful in
negotiating competitive pricing from these suppliers. The company will not
attempt to begin sourcing products until we have raised capital from this
offering.
To
meet our need for cash, we are attempting to raise funds from this offering.
Whatever funds we do raise, will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of
Proceeds section of this prospectus. If we can find a desirable and targeted
customer base and we receive a positive reaction from potential customers in the
marketing area, it is feasible we may have to attempt to raise additional money
through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans to
purchase additional equipment or finance working capital. If we do not raise all
of the funds we need from this offering to complete our initial development
phase, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering,
a private placement of securities, or loans from our officer or
others.
At
present, our officer is unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money at
this time, but may reconsider if we find that we can locate customers willing to
lease equipment at a price that will generate profits for the Company. At the
present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other
than through this offering. If BlueStar needs additional cash and can't raise
it, we will either have to suspend development operations until we do raise the
cash, or cease operations entirely. If we raise the maximum amount of money from
this offering, it is estimated that it will satisfy expenditures for twelve to
fourteen months. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other
financing plans.
If
BlueStar is unable to complete any phase of our development or marketing efforts
because we don't have enough money, we will cease our development and or
marketing operations until we raise more money.
Attempting
to raise additional capital after failing in any phase of our development plan
would be difficult. As such, if BlueStar cannot secure additional proceeds we
will have to cease operations and investors would lose their entire
investment.
Management
does not plan to hire additional employees at this time. BlueStar’s President
will be responsible for the initial development efforts. Once the company is
ready to build its Internet website, it will hire an independent consultant to
build the site. The company also intends to hire consultants for other
development phases initially on an individual job only basis to keep
administrative overhead to a minimum.
From
inception to July 12, 2002, the Company's business operations have primarily
been focused on developing an executive marketing strategy, along with industry
market research and competitive analysis. The Company has also dedicated time to
the preparation of its registration statement, including accounting and
auditing.
Over
the next 12 months the company must raise additional capital after this
registration statement becomes effective. The company must begin the process of
sourcing its products in order to supply perspective customers with product as
well as provide an operating inventory. The company must develop a web site in
order to showcase its products, hire consultants and begin a sales and marketing
campaign.
The
Company anticipates it will be able to begin sourcing products within 120 days
of this registration statement becoming effective. The sourcing process would
entail the company's management to deciding which manufacturers, suppliers and
vendors it would like to visit to purchase product, negotiate pricing and
delivery of the products selected. Once the company has identified its potential
product suppliers, the company's President anticipates it will have its initial
floor samples within 180 days of this registration statement becoming effective.
The company anticipates the minimum cost of travel and initial sample orders to
be $3,000.
Once
the company has taken physical delivery of its initial product floor samples,
the company will have to develop a website to showcase its product line to
prospective customers. The company anticipates that the cost to fully develop
the web site would be $15,000. The company anticipates that the web site could
be functional approximately 270 days after this registration becomes
effective.
The
company will have to hire a marketing consultant to begin its sales and
marketing efforts. The company anticipates it will hire a consultant within
approximately 270 days of this registration statement becoming effective. The
company anticipates the costs of its sales and marketing efforts to be
approximately $6,750. The company anticipates the sales cycle (the length of
time between initial customer contact and sale completion) to be a minimum of 90
days. The company anticipates it would complete initial product sales 360 days
after this registration statement becomes effective.
BlueStar
was incorporated on July 12, 2002. The Company has generated no revenues while
incurring $4,500 in total expenses. This resulted in a
net loss of $4,500 since inception, which is attributable to general and
administrative expenses.
Since
incorporation, BlueStar has financed its operations through minimal business
activity and funds from its founders.
To
date, BlueStar has not implemented fully planned principal operations.
Presently, BlueStar is attempting to secure sufficient monetary assets to
commence operations. The Company cannot assure any investor that it will be able
to enter into sufficient business operations adequate enough to insure continued
operations.
Below
is an illustration of the financing needs and anticipated sources of funds for
the elements of BlueStar’s business plan that constitute top priorities. Each
material event or milestone listed below will be required until adequate
revenues are generated.
1.
|
Researching
and strategically targeting specific equipment manufactures, distributors,
wholesalers and venders with whom BlueStar deals for the purpose of
acquiring the necessary assets and permits to engage in the equipment
leasing business. The Company expects to use a portion of the funds
allocated toward working capital to engage in this
activity.
|
2.
|
Canvas
the identified and targeted distributors, manufactures, wholesalers and
venders to ascertain, isolate and anticipate their present and future
capacities. The Company expects to use a portion of the funds allocated to
engage in this activity.
|
3.
|
Establish
personal and business relationships with key individuals within the
industry, businesses and community leadership positions. Part of the funds
set aside for consulting expenses are expected to be
utilized.
|
4.
|
Establish
and maintain a visible community
presence.
|
BlueStar’s
ability to fully commence operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds to
be raised in this offering. Depending on the outcome of this offering, the
Company plans to choose one of the following courses:
Plan 1: 25% of Offering Sold.
If only 25% of the offering is sold or $37,500 is raised in this
offering, BlueStar will immediately begin to implement the aforementioned plans
to generate business sufficient enough to maintain ongoing operations. This
entails establishment of a public awareness of the Company, including name
recognition and product identification. In order to initiate implementation of a
public awareness program, BlueStar intends to use approximately $1,200 of the
monies allocated toward working capital for this purpose.
The
Company has budgeted $1,000 for office equipment and furniture, which is
expected to consist of administrative working spaces, computers, computer
peripherals, software, storage cabinets, fax machine and telephone
equipment.
BlueStar
has allocated $500 for office supplies, which is expected to consist of costs of
mailings, copying expenses, paper, general desk supplies, etc.
The
Company has allocated $6,750 for consulting expenses including sales and
marketing, specifically for a frugal advertising campaign, with the intent to
piggyback on larger programs as much as possible.
BlueStar
has allocated $1,000 for Product Acquisition under this scenario.
BlueStar has
allocated $12,250 for general working capital to cover any shortfalls in the
categories listed above and to take advantage of any business opportunity that
presents itself, including accumulation of inventory.
The
Company believes it will be able to execute the business plan adequately and
commence operations as a going concern if 25% of this offering is realized.
BlueStar does not, however, expect to generate revenue in the first six months
of operation from the date the first funds are received from this
offering.
Any
line item amounts not expended to their fullest extent shall be held in reserve
as working capital, subject to reallocation to other line items expenditures as
required for ongoing operations.
Plan 2: 50% of the Offering.
In the event 50% of the offering is raised, ($75,000) management will
supplement its activities addressed in Plan 1, as delineated above. The Company
does not believe it will generate revenues in the first six months of operation
from the date the first funds are received. The Company expects to continue to
substantially increase consumer awareness by utilizing the increased allocation
for sales and marketing, a key factor in developing new business
revenues.
The
allocation for office equipment increases to $2,000.
The
allocation for office supplies increases to $1,000, mostly in anticipation of
increasing postage and mailing costs.
The
allocation for Consulting including sales and marketing expenses increases to
$8,000 allowing for the possibility of a more rapid growth.
The
allocation for working capital increases under this scenario to $35,500 in
anticipation of being more pro-active through accumulation of inventory that
prospective customers would desire.
The
allocation for Product Acquisition under this scenario increases to $10,000
allowing for the possibility of more rapid growth.
Any
line item amounts not expended to their fullest extent shall be held in reserve
as working capital, subject to reallocation to other line items expenditures as
required for ongoing operations.
Plan 3: 75% of the Offering.
In the event 75% of the maximum offering is raised, ($112,500) management
will supplement its activities addressed in Plan 1, as delineated above. The
Company does not believe it will generate revenues in the first six months of
operation from the date the first funds are received. The Company expects to
continue to substantially increase consumer awareness by utilizing the increased
allocation for sales and marketing, a key factor in developing new business
revenues.
The
allocation for office equipment remains at $2,000.
The
allocation for office supplies increases to $1,500 mostly in anticipation of
increasing postage and mailing costs.
The
allocation for Consulting including sales and marketing expenses increases to
$10,000 allowing for the possibility of a more rapid growth.
The
allocation for working capital increases under this scenario to $64,000 in
anticipation of being more pro-active through accumulation of inventory that
prospective customers would desire.
The
allocation for Product Acquisition increases under this scenario to $14,000
allowing for the possibility of a more rapid growth.
Any
line item amounts not expended to their fullest extent shall be held in reserve
as working capital, subject to reallocation to other line items expenditures as
required for ongoing operations.
Plan 4:100% of the Offering.
In the event the maximum amount of $150,000 is raised, the Company still
does not expect to generate revenue in the first six months of operation from
the date the first funds are received. Under Plan 4, management will supplement
the activities addressed in Plan3, as delineated above.
The
allocation for office equipment remains constant.
The
allocation for office supplies remains constant.
The
allocation for Consulting including sales and marketing remains
constant.
The
allocation for Product Acquisition increases to $16,000 allowing for the
possible development of greater revenue.
The
allocation for working capital increases to $96,000 allowing for greater
flexibility in meeting potential customer needs.
Any
line item amounts not expended to their fullest extent shall be held in reserve
as working capital, subject to reallocation to other line items expenditures as
required for ongoing operations. Regardless of the ultimate outcome and
subsequent plan to be implemented, the Company has budgeted for certain
expenditures that it expects to remain constant. BlueStar expects
accounting, legal and professional fees to be $6,500 for the full year 2008. All
statements are to be filed in applicable periodic reports with the SEC in
accordance with Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Legal and professional fees
associated with the filing of Form 15 (c) 211 are expected to aggregate $2,800,
and are expected to consist mainly of legal fees, as well as ongoing Edgar
conversion costs and various other professional services performed in relation
to the anticipated ongoing reporting requirements of a public reporting company.
All use of proceeds figures represent management’s best estimates and are not
expected to vary significantly. However, in the event the Company incurs or
expects to incur expenses materially outside of these estimates,
BlueStar intends to file an amended registration statement, of which this
prospectus is a part of, disclosing the changes and the reasons for any
revisions.
BlueStar’s
ability to commence operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds to be
raised in this offering. If BlueStar does not raise at least 25% of the offering
amount, it will be unable to establish a base of operations, without which it
will be unable to begin to generate any revenues. The realization of sales
revenues in the next 12 months is important in the execution of the plan of
operations. However, the Company cannot guarantee that it will generate such
growth. If BlueStar does not produce sufficient cash flow to support
BlueStar operations over the next 12 months, BlueStar may 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. BlueStar 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.
BlueStar
management does not expect to incur research and development costs.
BlueStar
currently does not own any significant plant or equipment that it would seek to
sell in the near future.
BlueStar
management does not anticipate the need to hire employees over the next 12
months with the possible exception of secretarial support should business
develop of a sufficient nature to necessitate such expenditure. Currently, the
Company believes the services provided by its officer and director appears
sufficient at this time. BlueStar believes that its operations are currently on
a small scale that is manageable by one individual at the present
time.
BlueStar
has not paid for expenses on behalf of any director. Additionally, BlueStar
believes that this fact shall not materially change.
BlueStar has
no plans to seek a business combination with another entity in the foreseeable
future.

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 his 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
BlueStar
Financial Group, Inc. (A Development Stage Enterprise)
1350
W. Horizon Ridge Drive
Suite
1922
Henderson,
Nevada 89014
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheet of BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. (A
Development Stage Enterprise) as of June 30, 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 BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. (A Development Stage
Enterprise) as of June 30, 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 4 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 4. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE INCEPTION PERIOD OF JULY 12, 2002
TO
JUNE 30, 2008
NOTE
A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A
summary of significant accounting policies of BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. (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.”
Organization, Nature of
Business and Trade Name
BlueStar
Financial Group, Inc. (“BSFG” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the
state of Nevada on July 12, 2002 under the same name. The Company’s founder
initially intended to establish a management and consulting business. The board
of directors of the Company subsequently decided that the Company should pursue
other opportunities and a change of control of the Company occurred on October
30, 2007. No business was conducted by the Corporation from inception on July
12, 2002 until a change of control occurred on October 30, 2007. The Company is
a development stage enterprise and has as a principal business objective of
working toward establishing “small ticket” equipment leases within a small niche
of the equipment leasing market. The Company intends to provide cost effective
“small ticket items” leasing to small and middle market companies primarily
within the hospitality, spa and resort communities. Items such as audio visual,
computer systems, laundry and health spa equipment are a few of the types of
equipment contemplated by the Company that will be made available for lease to
credit worthy companies.
Basis of
Presentation
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely
responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and
maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting
fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to
assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all
valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period
in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the
respective periods being presented.
Stockholders’ Equity: Common
stock
The
authorized common stock of the Company consists of 60,000,000 shares with par
value of $0.001. On October 30, 2007, the Company authorized the
issuance of 7,400,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock at $0.001 per
share in consideration of $5,000 in cash and $2,400 in services. As of June 30,
2008, the shares were issued and outstanding.

NOTE
A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Net loss per common
share
Net
loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per
Share.” The weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per
share. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted averaged
number of shares and dilutive potential common shares
outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common
shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic
net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during 2008 and since inception. As of June
30, 2008 and since inception, the Company had 7,400,000 common shares
outstanding. As of June 30, 2008 and since inception, the Company had
no dilutive potential common shares.
Basic Loss Per
Share
The
computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.
There are no common stock equivalents outstanding.

Provision for Income
Taxes
Deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax
credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences
between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax
bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the opinion of management, it is more likely that not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and
rates on the date of enactment.
Net
deferred tax assets consist of the following components from Inception on July
12, 2002 to June 30, 2008:

Provision for Income
Taxes (continued)
The
income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by
applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income from
continuing operations for the periods ended July 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006
due to the following:

At
June 30, 2008, the Company had an operating loss carry forward of $4,500 that
can be used as an offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been
reported in the June 30, 2008 financial statements since the potential tax
benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due
to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net
operating loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are
subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur,
net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in the
future.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions
could have a material impact on BlueStar Financial Group, Inc.’s financial
condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes
occurred.
Actual
results could differ from those estimates. BlueStar Financial Group, Inc.’s
financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are

Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This Statement
amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity
in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted.
Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not
expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 creates a fair value option allowing
an entity to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent
measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities,
with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. SFAS 159 also
requires an entity to report those financial assets and financial liabilities
measured at fair value in a manner that separates those reported fair values
from the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities measured using another
measurement attribute on the face of the statement of financial position.
Lastly, SFAS 159 requires an entity to provide information that would allow
users to understand the effect on earnings of changes in the fair value on those
instruments selected for the fair value election. SFAS 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted.
The Company is continuing to evaluate SFAS 159 and to assess the impact on its
results of operations and financial condition if an election is made to adopt
the standard.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies
related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is encouraged. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a significant effect on its
financial position or results of operation.
Pursuant
to FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS
141, and its predecessor, APB Opinion No. 16 (APB 16)), goodwill may be
recognized in connection with the acquisition of oil and gas exploration and
production properties that constitute a business. Rule 4-10(c)(6)(i) of
Regulation S-X, applicable to the full cost accounting method, specifies that
"sales of oil and gas properties, whether or not being amortized currently,
shall be accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss
recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship
between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas attributable to a
cost center." It goes on to indicate that "a significant alteration would not
ordinarily be expected to occur for sales involving less than 25% of the reserve
quantities of a given cost center."

Pronouncements (continued)
None
of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may
be applicable to the Company’s future financial reporting.
Long-lived
Assets-Technology
The
Company’s technology is recorded at its cost. The Company continually monitors
events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of
long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in
circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived
assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be
recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the
future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company
recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over
the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower
of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Concentration of
Risk
Cash
– The Company at times may maintain a cash balance in excess of insured limits.
At June 30, 2008, the Company has no cash in excess of insured
limits.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues when payments are billed to the customer and
according to the terms of the contract.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the
life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the
period.
Depreciation
is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of
depreciable assets are:

Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are carried at the expected net realizable value. The allowance for
doubtful accounts is based on management's assessment of the collectibility of
specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts
receivables. If there were a deterioration of a major customer's
creditworthiness, or actual defaults were higher than historical experience, our
estimates of the recoverability of the amounts due to us
could be overstated, which could have a
negative impact on operations.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term
debt securities purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
NOTE
B – GOING CONCERN
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern
which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in
the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have
significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue
as a going concern. The Company intends to raise additional capital when
required to produce crude oil from tar sands. When and if these activities
provide sufficient revenues it would allow it to continue as a going
concern. In the interim the Company is working toward raising operating capital
through the private placement of its common stock or debt
instruments.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph
and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
C - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
From
Inception on July 12, 2002 to June 30, 2008, the Company sold 7,400,000 shares
of its common stock at $0.001 per share.
NOTE
D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. An
officer or resident agent of the corporation provides office services without
charge. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and
accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and
directors for the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in
the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a
specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a
conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business
interest. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution
of such conflicts.

Indemnification
of directors and officers.
Our
Bylaws 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 his 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.
Our
officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes (the “NRS”) and our bylaws.
Under
the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for
monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by
a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of
incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
|
1.
|
a
willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in
connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of
interest;
|
|
2.
|
a
violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful);
|
|
3.
|
a
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit;
and
|
Our
bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the
extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and
officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any
director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated by such person unless:
|
1.
|
such
indemnification is expressly required to be made by
law;
|
|
2.
|
the
proceeding was authorized by our Board of
Directors;
|
|
3.
|
such
indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the
powers vested us under Nevada law;
or
|
|
4.
|
such
indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the
bylaws.
|
Our
bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer,
or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of
another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to
the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This
advancement of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined
that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or
otherwise.
Our
bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the
board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or,
even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the
decision- making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate
clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that
such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best
interests.
Nevada
Law
Pursuant
to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes 78.751, BlueStar shall indemnify
any director, officer and employee as follows: Every director, officer, or
employee of BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. shall be indemnified by us against
all expenses and liabilities, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by or
imposed upon him/her in connection with any proceeding to which he/she may be
made a party, or in which he/she may become involved, by reason of being or
having been a director, officer, employee or agent of BlueStar Financial Group,
Inc. or is or was serving at the request of BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. as a
director, officer, employee or agent of BlueStar Financial Group, Inc.,
partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise, or any settlement thereof,
whether or not he/she is a director, officer, employee or agent at the time such
expenses are incurred, except in such cases wherein the director, officer,
employee or agent is adjudged guilty of willful misfeasance or malfeasance in
the performance of his/her duties; provided that in the event of a settlement
the indemnification herein shall apply only when the Board of Directors approves
such settlement and reimbursement as being for the best interests of BlueStar
Financial Group, Inc.. BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. shall provide to any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
or is or was serving at the request of BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or enterprise, the indemnity against expenses of a suit,
litigation or other proceedings which is specifically permissible under
applicable law.
Recent
sale of unregistered securities.
During
the past three years, BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. issued the following
unregistered securities in private transactions without registering the
securities under the Securities Act:
On
October 30, 2007, BlueStar Financial Group, Inc. issued
7,150,000 restricted shares of common stock to Paul Voorhees for cash
of $5,000 and services valued at $2,150 on the same day, the Company issued
250,000 restricted shares of common stock to Nicholas Pelletiere for $250 in
services. All purchasers of the shares of the Company agreed to hold the shares
for investment purposes only and to transfer such shares only in a registered
offering or in reliance upon an exemption therefrom.
As
of the date of this Registration Statement, there 7,400,000 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding being held by two (2) shareholders of
record.
At
the time of the issuance, all of the above shareholders were in possession of
all available material information about us. On the basis of these
facts, BlueStar claims that the issuance of stock to the BlueStar
founding shareholders qualify for the exemption from registration contained in
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. BlueStar believes that the
exemption from registration for these sales under Section 4(2) was available
because:
1.
The shareholders had fair access to all material information
about BlueStar before investing;
2.
There was no general advertising or solicitation; and
3.
The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend.
On
the basis of these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to our initial
shareholders qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

UNDERTAKINGS
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective
registration statement, and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement.
(2) That,
for determining 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 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.
(5)
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.
(6) 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 a 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
In
this Registration Statement, BlueStar is including undertakings
required pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act and Rule 430A under the
Securities Act.
