PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION ON
|
DANIELS CORPORATE ADVISORY COMPANY, INC.
7,590,000 Shares of Common Stock
Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) is (i) offering for sale a maximum of 2,600,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001, at a fixed price of $0.50 per share (the “Offering”) and (ii) registering for resale by the selling stockholders of up to 4,990,250 shares of our common stock, $.001 par value (the “Resale).
There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the Offering to close, and therefore we may receive no proceeds or very minimal proceeds from the Offering. The aggregate offering price of all securities sold under this Offering may not exceed $1,300,000.
We will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares that are sold. The Offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means this prospectus will permit our officers and directors to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares they may sell. The Company may not sell the shares to the public until this registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
We have no arrangement to place the proceeds from this Offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. Any funds raised from sales of shares to the public pursuant to this Offering will be immediately available to us for our use and retained by us regardless of whether or not there are any additional sales under this Offering. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering. We may offer and sell these securities through the method described under “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
Below is a summary of proceeds, before and after calculating aggregate offering costs of approximately $15,000 in cash, which we may receive from the sale of the shares in the Offering:

In addition to the Offering, this prospectus also covers the resale by the selling stockholders of up to 4,990,250 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Resale).
These securities will be offered for sale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus in accordance with the terms described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution.” The selling stockholders participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock and any broker-dealers participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders.
Our securities are not listed on any national securities exchange. Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under the ticker symbol “DCAC.” Our stock has yet to have any trading activity on the OTCBB.
We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings.

RISK FACTORS
This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a limited operating history which may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc., which was incorporated on August 22, 2002, has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future performance and prospects can be made. We are an early-stage operating company with limited revenue history. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays, problems and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business. As an early-stage operating company
,
Daniels Corporate Advisory faces risks and uncertainties relating to its ability to successfully implement its business plan, which is described in more detail below.
Since inception, and when a subsidiary of INfe Human Resources, Inc., Daniels Corporate Advisory has always been an operating company, furnishing its advisory to all phases of operations, finance and management of other mini-cap private companies. As a subsidiary of its parent Company, INfe Human Resources, Inc. – with concentration in the staffing industry roll-up for its parent – Daniels advisory revenues were eliminated during consolidations. During Daniels’ operating history existence, it has booked approximately $300,000 in revenues. Upon effectiveness and sale of the shares in this registration statement, management expects that Daniels will be able to practice its specialties and be paid at the going consultation rate for its specialties, instead of at the much lower rates of the past.
Limited revenues and ongoing losses.
Since inception, Daniels Corporate Advisory has generated approximately $300,000 of revenue. Daniels earnings potential would have been greater; however, its focus had been in a financial advisory capacity to its parent company INfe Human Resources, which concentrated in Staffing and Executive Placements Industries. Daniels was spun off to concentrate on its core Corporate Strategy consulting business. Daniels has incurred losses of $4,848,909 for the period from August 22, 2002 (inception) to November 30, 2013.
Our business strategy is unproven and our prospects must be considered speculative.
Our business strategy is unproven, and we may not be successful in addressing early stage challenges, such as establishing our position in the market and developing effective marketing of our services. To implement our business plan, capital may be provided from existing and possibly new consulting business revenue and through outside financing. We have not yet located additional financing to implement our business plan in its entirety. Initial growth may be very limited and based solely on compensation from a small, existing, consulting assignment with no guarantee of obtaining additional assignments over the next twelve months. The other potential growth segment of our business plan the acquisition of exclusive marketing rights for our services through the client networks of other Business Services Companies will only occur if we can obtain outside financing. Internally generated funds, alone, will not be sufficient to implement this phase of our business plan.
Our prospects must be considered speculative, considering the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business, specifically the risks inherent in developmental stage companies. We expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and, as a result, we expect significant net losses in the future. It is possible that we will not be able to achieve profitable operations or, if profitability is achieved, that it will be maintained for any significant period, or at all.
Our auditors have stated we may not be able to stay in business.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, which means that there is doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. Unless we can raise additional capital, we may not be able to achieve our objectives and may have to limit, suspend or cease operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
We may not be successful in the implementation of our business strategy or our business strategy may not be successful, either of which will impede our development and growth.
Daniels Corporate Advisory is engaged in the business of offering corporate financial & Strategy consulting services and merchant banking services.
We do not know whether we will be able to continue successfully implementing our business strategy or whether our business strategy will ultimately be successful. In assessing our ability to meet these challenges, a potential investor should take into account our lack of operating history, our management’s relative inexperience, the competitive conditions existing in our industry and general economic conditions. Our growth is largely dependent on our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Our revenues may be adversely affected if we fail to implement our business strategy or if we divert resources to a business strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.
Our service offerings may not be accepted.
We constantly seek to modify our service offerings to the marketplace. As is typically the case evolving service offerings, anticipation of demand and market acceptance are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The success of our service offerings primarily depends on the interest of our customers. In general, achieving market acceptance for our services will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds, which we may not have available, to create awareness and demand among customers.
We have limited marketing experience, and have extremely limited financial, personnel and other resources to undertake extensive marketing activities. Accordingly, we are uncertain as to the acceptance of any of our services or our ability to generate the revenues necessary to remain in business.
Risks associated with our ability to manage expansion as a result of acquisitions.
The growth of our business as well as the business of our corporate clients depends in large part on our ability to manage expansion, help control costs in operations and to effectively consolidate acquisitions into existing operations. This strategy will entail reviewing and potentially reorganizing acquired operations, corporate infrastructure and system and financial controls. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complication and delays frequently encountered in connection with the rapid expansion of operations could inhibit our growth and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Risks associated with our inability to identify suitable acquisition candidates.
We may be unable to identify acquisition candidates, for ourselves or aid in identifying acquisition candidates for our Corporate Strategy Clients that would result in the most successful combinations or be unable to consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms. The magnitude, timing and nature of future acquisitions will depend upon various factors, including our success in establishing corporate development “pilot programs” which include “incubation” within Daniels’ for consulting clients as a viable means of growth acceleration. From this “platform,” growth can be accelerated more readily, through the availability of suitable acquisition candidates that see that a combination with the client company would be suitable for cross-marketing opportunities. There is no way that we can assure the Investor that this “platform” strategy will create situations where Daniels expertise can be brought to bear in the negotiation acceptable terms, in our financial referral capabilities, and in the providing of skilled professional talent to help manage acquired companies. General economic and business conditions, including money rates, may also hamper some of our most promising expansion scenarios for clients.
We may be unable to obtain financing for the acquisitions that are available to us.
We are currently attempting to obtain financing for our corporate financial consulting and merchant banking services lines of business as well as for acquisition opportunities which could result in material dilution to our existing stockholders. We may be unable to obtain adequate financing for further development of our proposed services and for any acquisition for cross-marketing of services purposes, or that, if available, such financing will be on favorable terms.
Our future financial results are uncertain and our operating results may fluctuate, due to, among other things, consumer trends, seasonal fluctuations and market demand.
As a result of our short and sporadic operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast our revenue. Further, we have little historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses. We base our current and future expense levels on our operating plans and estimates of future expenses. Our expenses are dependent in large part upon expenses associated with our proposed marketing expenditures and related overhead expenses, and the costs of hiring and maintaining qualified personnel to carry out our respective services. Sales and operating results are difficult to forecast because they will depend on the growth of our customer base, changes in customer demands and consumer trends, the degree of utilization of our advertising services as well as the mix of services and services sold. As a result, we may be unable to make accurate financial forecasts and adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. This inability could cause our net losses in a given quarter to be greater than expected.
We rely on the services of Arthur D. Viola.
Our business relies on the efforts and talents of our key officer and director, Arthur D. Viola. The loss of his services could adversely affect the operations of our business, and could have a very negative impact on our ability to fulfill on our business plan.
We may have difficulty in attracting and retaining management and outside independent members to our board of directors as a result of their concerns relating to their increased personal exposure to lawsuits and stockholder claims by virtue of holding these positions in a publicly quoted company.
The directors and management of publicly quoted corporations are increasingly concerned with the extent of their personal exposure to lawsuits and stockholder claims, as well as governmental and creditor claims which may be made against them, particularly in view of recent changes in securities laws imposing additional duties, obligations and liabilities on management and directors. Due to these perceived risks, directors and management are also becoming increasingly concerned with the availability of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to pay on a timely basis the costs incurred in defending such claims. We currently do carry limited directors' and officers’ liability insurance. Directors' and officers’ liability insurance has recently become much more expensive and difficult to obtain. If we are unable to continue or provide directors' and officers’ liability insurance at affordable rates or at all, it may become increasingly more difficult to attract and retain qualified outside directors to serve on our board of directors.
We may lose potential independent board members and management candidates to other companies that have greater directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to insure them from liability or to companies that have revenues or have received greater funding to date which can offer more lucrative compensation packages. The fees of directors are also rising in response to their increased duties, obligations and liabilities as well as increased exposure to such risks. As a company with limited operating history and resources, we will have a more difficult time attracting and retaining management and outside independent directors than a more established company due to these enhanced duties, obligations and liabilities.
We may fail to establish and maintain strategic relationships.
We believe that the establishment of strategic partnerships will greatly benefit the growth of our business, and we intend to seek out and enter into strategic alliances. We may not be able to enter into these strategic partnerships on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if we enter into strategic alliances, our partners may not attract significant numbers of customers or otherwise prove advantageous to our business. Our inability to enter into new distribution relationships or strategic alliances could have a material and adverse effect on our business.
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements.
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer’s liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Risks Relating to Our Stock
Arthur D. Viola owns 100,000 shares of our super voting preferred stock entitling him to the right to vote 50,000,000 shares of our common stock in any election or event. This concentration of ownership and voting rights could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of Daniels Corporate Advisory that might otherwise result in your receiving a premium over the market price for your common stock.
Mr. Viola owns 2,454,500 shares of our common stock as well as I 00,000 shares of the Daniels Corporate Advisory preferred stock which has voting rights equal to 500 shares of the Daniels Corporate Advisory common stock for every one share of Daniels Corporate Advisory preferred stock held, which equates to common stock voting rights of 52,454,500 shares of the Daniels Corporate Advisory common stock which amount exceeds our current outstanding shares of common stock. The result of Mr. Viola 's the ownership and voting rights to our common stock allows Mr. Viola to have voting control on all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval and to be able to control our management and affairs, including extraordinary transactions such as mergers and other changes of corporate control, and going private transactions. Additionally, this concentration of voting power could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of Daniels Corporate Advisory that might otherwise result in your receiving a premium over the market price for your common stock.
We may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise necessary additional capital, our business may fail or our operating results and our stock price may be materially adversely affected.
Because we are a newly operational company, we need to secure adequate funding. Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow more money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail our operations and our business would fail.
Our issuance of additional common stock in exchange for services or to repay debt would dilute your proportionate ownership and voting rights and could have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.
Our sole director, Mr. Viola, may generally issue shares of common stock to pay for debt or services, without further approval by our stockholders based upon such factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. It is likely that we will issue additional securities to pay for services and reduce debt in the future. It is possible that we will issue additional shares of common stock under circumstances we may deem appropriate at the time.
We have never paid or declared any dividends on our common stock. Likewise, we do not anticipate paying, in the near future, dividends or distributions on our common stock or our common stock to be sold in this offering. Any future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, our financial requirements for future operations and growth, and other facts as we may then deem appropriate.
If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCBB, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies whose shares are quoted for sale on the OTCBB and some whose shares are quoted for sale on the Pink Sheets must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the Pink Sheets and OTCBB. If our shares become publicly quoted and our shares are quoted for sale on the OTCBB, and we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCBB. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Our common stock will most likely be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly quoted public float, limited operating history and lack of net revenues which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market.
Our common stock will most likely be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price would be attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, the shares of our common stock will likely be sporadically and/or thinly quoted. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares of our common stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price.
Secondly, we will most likely be a speculative or “risky” investment due to our dependence on an initial flow of corporate consulting assignments and their implementation producing positive results to attract new clients. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.
As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a mature issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. It is possible that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will not develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will continue.
Shares eligible for future sale by our current stockholders may adversely affect our stock price
.
The sale of a significant number of shares of common stock at any particular time could be difficult to achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately before such shares are offered. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144 or otherwise could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital at that time through the sale of our securities.
Anti-takeover provisions may impede the acquisition of Daniels Corporate Advisory.
Certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes have anti-takeover effects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring Daniels Corporate Advisory to negotiate with, and to obtain the approval of, our sole director, Mr. Viola, in connection with such a transaction. As a result, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of Daniels Corporate Advisory, including an acquisition in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares.
You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our common stock: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; government regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; our capital commitments; and additions or departures of our key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our common stock will sustain the current market price, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
We may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise necessary additional capital, our business may fail or our operating results and our stock price may be materially adversely affected.
We may need to secure adequate funding. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our proposed products and our business will most likely fail. We do not have commitments for additional financing. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities, which may reduce the value of our outstanding securities. We may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all.
Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow more money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations, which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower stock price.
An active trading market in our shares may not be sustained.
An active trading market in our shares may not be sustained. Factors such as those discussed in this “Risk Factors” section may have a significant impact upon the market price of the securities to be distributed by us. Many brokerage firms may not be willing to participate in transactions in a security if a low price develops in the trading of the security. Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in our securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of our securities as collateral for any loans.
Our common stock will subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the trading market in our common stock will be limited, which would make transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the investment value of our stock.
Our shares of common stock will be “penny stocks” because they most likely will not be registered on a national securities exchange or listed on an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association, pursuant to Rule 3a51-1(a) under the Exchange Act. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
·
|
That a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
|
·
|
That the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
|
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
·
|
Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
|
·
|
That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
·
|
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
|
·
|
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
|
·
|
Boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
|
·
|
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
|
·
|
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.
|
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, if our shares become publicly quoted, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
Subscriptions to purchase shares in this offering are irrevocable and will be immediately available for our use without any escrow.
The execution of a subscription agreement by an investor constitutes a binding offer to purchase shares of our common stock. Once an investor subscribes for our shares, the investor will not be able to revoke his subscription. As stated elsewhere herein, the proceeds from the sale of our shares will not be subject to any escrow, but will be immediately available for our use. Consequently, those investors who purchase shares earlier in the offering will be substantially more at risk than those investors who purchase later in the offering, inasmuch as the later investors will have had the opportunity to assess the success of the offering before making an investment. In no event will the subscribed amounts be returned to investors.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In this prospectus, we make a number of statements, referred to as “forward-looking statements” which are intended to convey our expectations or predictions regarding the occurrence of possible future events or the existence of trends and factors that may impact our future plans and operating results. We note, however, that these forward-looking statements are derived, in part, from various assumptions and analyses we have made in the context of our current business plan and information currently available to Daniels Corporate Advisory and in light of our experience and perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances.
You can generally identify forward-looking statements through words and phrases such as “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “budget,” “project,” “may be,” “may continue,” “may likely result,” and similar expressions. When reading any forward-looking statement you should remain mindful that all forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or future performance of Daniels Corporate Advisory, and that actual results or developments may vary substantially from those expected as expressed in or implied by that statement for a number of reasons or factors, including those relating to:
·
|
Whether or not markets for our proposed products develop and, if they do develop, the pace at which they develop;
|
·
|
Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to implement our growth strategies;
|
·
|
Our ability to fund our financing needs;
|
·
|
General economic conditions;
|
·
|
Changes in our business plan and corporate strategies; and
|
·
|
Other risks and uncertainties discussed in greater detail in the sections of this prospectus, including those captioned “Risk Factors” and “Business.”
|
Each forward-looking statement should be read in context with, and with an understanding of, the various other disclosures concerning Daniels Corporate Advisory and our business made elsewhere in this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of actual results or developments. We are not obligated to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus to reflect new events or circumstances unless and to the extent required by applicable law.

DILUTION
In our Resale, the common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders as a result of the Resale.
The price of the current Offering is fixed at $0.50 per share. This price is significantly greater than the price paid by our sole officer and director. Our sole officer and director paid $0.001 per share, a difference of $0.499 per share lower than the share price in this offering.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

Business
Daniels Model/Business Plan:
Daniels Corporate Advisory intends to finance the corporate strategy consulting services noted below, through the issuance of additional shares from this registered offering. Any funds raised from this offering will be used primarily for working capital purposes. Initially, funds may be used to develop joint-venture relationships with other service providers, including but not limited to accounting firms, business services firms, financial planning and estate planning firms. Daniels may purchase "exclusive rights" to be the provider of choice in the offering of our version of the financial specialty called corporate strategy to client networks of other financial/business services organizations. While exclusive rights agreements of this nature are not typical, senior management, drawing on personal contacts, believes that offering to provide a very select, cost-effective service that will augment other financial services already being offered by the financial/business services firm will be an acceptable "outsourced" consulting service addition. However, as time goes by, a client (financial/business service firm) may decide to enter our business; there is no provision in our agreement to prevent it. Our Senior Management believes that our success in Corporate Strategy Advisory and Consulting Implementation with the ultimate client, - the "end user" client of our financial/business service firm client – will determine whether Daniels Corporate Advisory retains the end user client.
Daniels Corporate Advisory anticipates that it will therefore be the "provider of choice" when recommended/referred to client network members. In any joint-ventured Corporate Strategy and Advisory Assignment, Daniels will earn a cash fee for its specialized Strategy Advisory. The cash fee will be based on direct costs of all Corporate Advisory Professionals/support personnel, both in-house and independent contractor and a profit margin consistent with current market forces in the Corporate Strategy and Advisory Services Market for very specialized services
The growth acceleration services incorporated by Daniels into a corporate strategy advisory/implementation programs for a client will consider Macro and Micro, generic and acquired/joint-venture alternatives. Internal, (Senior Management Oversight, Market Niche Analysis for determination of entrance, Operational-cost analysis and recommended adjustments) as well as external (product divestiture, capital creation/formation, joint-venture or acquisition deal structure, negotiations and determination for optimum venue for financing) methods for growth acceleration will be offered. Initially, Daniels Corporate Advisory has and will use a loosely organized cadre of highly-qualified, independent contractors/consultants available to perform the necessary services to achieve the optimum corporate strategy for a client. Eventually, and based on the amount of financing raised through this Offering and their testing in the initial Corporate Strategy and Consulting Assignments the best of the Independent Contractors in the specialties with the highest demand will be hired as Daniels Executives.
The second method Daniels Corporate Advisory will use to expand its business (and in so doing create additional opportunities for clients) is by internal development of advertising/marketing and by direct end-user, client referrals. Daniels expects name brand recognition to be created after one or two successful corporate strategy assignments have been publicizing on web sites related to the specialties provided as well as through aggressive networking by in-house direct-marketing campaign to micro-cap public companies. Through these efforts, added options for growth are expected to materialize for the benefit of our clients, as well as referral business for Daniels. Capital companies and high-net worth individuals may contact us to see if their participation in subsequent assignments is feasible.
Recent Business Developments
Daniels Corporate Advisory conducts on –going networking and business development in corporate strategy and consulting, primarily through chairman to chairman contacts. A full range of disciplines are being offered to the nano-cap public company through this personalized chairman to chairman networking to keep initial marketing costs at a minimum. Daniels Corporate Advisory will advises its clients on operational strategies, market-planning, senior oversight management and financial alternatives consulting on optimum paths for the client to take; which could include but not be limited to external growth alternatives requiring advisory on M & A, levered transactions, capital structure, bridge loans, and equity financing. In order to effectively advise for the optimum market value of the clients’ stock the status of the client’s common stock must be improved, if necessary.
Business Strategy - Current Operational Strategy & Current Client Projects:
Daniels creates and implements corporate strategy alternatives for the mini-cap public or private company client. Through the singular, full-time efforts of its Chairman and several initial independent contractor specialists working on a “when needed basis,” soon to be full time employees, Daniels provides an outsourced talent pool of senior level executive and visionary talent on an affordable basis for the mini-cap company. The client pays a reasonable cash upfront retainer, work-in-progress retainers and a final cash retainer determined by results.
Daniels may provide the client with multiple corporate strategies /opportunities including joint-ventures, marketing opportunity agreements and/or a variety of potential acquisitions structured in LBO format. One or a combination of these strategies would allow the client to enter new market niches or expand further into existing ones.. For the public client company, our recommended consensus is implemented through an optimum deal structure so that the possibility exists, in "One Step," for the client to achieve the necessary financial criteria - (Net Worth and Pre-tax Earnings) for listing on a Major US Stock Exchange, (American/Small Cap NASDAQ). The Goal: Within fourteen to twenty-four months from commencement of a Corporate Strategy Assignment, financial results should be forthcoming and recorded in SEC Filings, a highly-credible, expanded Board and Senior Management Team assembled and the Exchange listing process guided to completion, all by Daniels.
A similar effort will be provided to tailor an optimum growth program for the private company client, whether it chooses to remain private or to become a public company through alternative merger opportunities.
In addition to the “specific need” contracted for within the Corporate Advisory Assignment, Daniels Senior Management may elect to also create and provide implementation Advisory to the client on multiple business opportunities including but not limited to a variety of potential acquisitions structured in LBO format. This will allow the client entry into other promising new market niches and/or its further expansion into established ones. Every effort will be made by Daniels through all phases of an Assignment to structure generic and/or external growth alternatives to help the client achieve the necessary financial criteria - (Net Worth and Pre-tax Earnings) for listing on a Major US Stock Exchange, (American/Small Cap NASDAQ).
Current Project: Start-Up: Daniels Logistics, Inc.
During our 2013 fiscal year, (ending November 30, 2013), Daniels, performed an extensive due diligence and market-planning analysis review of the Logistics Industry, specifically the feasibility of entrance into and profitability for a start-up company in the most profitable market-niches in “Supply Chain Management;” The consensus results were very positive causing Daniels to create newly-incorporated 100% owned Subsidiary: “Daniels Logistics, Inc.” The subsidiary entered initial specified market niches, as Consultants / Advisors to clients by analyzing the segments in their Supply Chain where Daniels Logistics, Inc. (through its Independent Contractor Logistics specialists) could network to develop/provide a lower-cost option for the client with Daniels Logistics, Inc. then also acting in the advisory capacity of facilitator. Through its current, limited, hand-picked, client base, Daniels Logistics, Inc. has entered selective domestic US Areas as well as some Foreign Markets; all, in the estimation of the Daniels Team, possessing the most promise for profitability based an extensive analysis.
Initial financial results are supportive of the Daniels Corporate Advisory’s decision to enter the Supply Chain Management segment of the Transportation Industry through its subsidiary, Daniels Logistics, Inc. During November 2013 results (including in our 2013 fiscal year) the Daniels Logistics subsidiary has booked pretax profits of $32,780 and continues its momentum with pretax profits of $39,077 for December, 2013 – the first month of our new fiscal year.
OPTIMUM GROWTH STRATEGY:
Twelve to Twenty four Month Horizons for Daniels ' Objectives:
The funding received in this Offering should provide sufficient working capital to establish a quality, in-house Senior Management Team and to provide retainers for our outsourced independent contractor advisors for one micro-cap public company client (to be added and advised) and to fund the development/expansion of Daniels Logistics, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary. We plan to expand our logistics subsidiary in the most profitable niches within the supply chain management segment of the Transportation Industry. We intend to keep this Offering open until December 31, 2014, should that be necessary , in order to raise the necessary fun ding to implement our two pronged growth strategy.
Daniels' believes that the validity of our corporate strategy model will be proven through the success of its newly-formed subsidiary, Daniels Logistics, Inc. We intend to use our publicly traded common stock, in a variety of securities packages, to finance a subsidiary start-up, initially for generic sales growth prospects. Potential exit strategies, which will be developed for optimizing the potential of the subsidiary and a return on corporate capital, could include bringing the subsidiary public or merging it with a public company operating in one of the more profitable niches of the specific market. This same corporate strategy model will be applied to any independent mini-cap public client. The client will experience a very limited dilution financing option provided primarily from capital raised in this Offering.
We believe our business model to be scalable. Based upon the success of the initial corporate strategy consulting assignments and/or the development of its own subsidiary and its ultimate launch in the public market; Daniels could achieve the critical mass, itself, for listing of our common stock on a major stock exchange. We would then achieve one of our main goals as a provider of corporate strategy advisory and low-cost financing for strategy implementation for our clients.
Sales and Marketing
Daniels senior management will concentrate its efforts to expand its corporate strategy advisory and consulting (for implementation of assignment results) services and related specialties in the nano-cap segment of the public market, where Daniels believes it will be effective. Marketing efforts will increase through social and print media efforts and will be in addition to those methods already mentioned above. Daniels objective is to create and help manage implementation of accelerated expansion strategies; in so doing it may from time to time provide investment in a client company to help achieve the optimum results.
Competition
We believe that existing and new competitors will continue to improve their services and introduce new services with competitive price and performance characteristics.
In periods of reduced demand for our services, we can either choose to maintain market share by reducing our prices to meet competition or maintain prices, which would likely sacrifice market share. Sales and overall profitability could be reduced in either case. In addition, competitors may enter our existing markets, or we may be unable to compete successfully against existing or new competition.
The corporate financial services merchant banking/private equity industries are very competitive and fragmented in the market niche in which Daniels Corporate Advisory operates. There are limited barriers to entry and new competitors frequently enter the market. A significant number of our competitors possess substantially greater resources than we possess. Additionally , we face substantial competition for potential clients and for technical and professional personnel from providers of similar financial specialties, which range from giant national companies headquartered on Wall Street to local well known affiliates of some of the largest accounting firms in the United States.
Large national companies that offer corporate financial consulting and merchant banking services capabilities could easily expand into the nano cap niche intended for occupation by Daniels Corporate Advisory. Other companies with whom we compete include the affiliates of well known , national accounting firms. Numerous , local, owner-operated finder entities and their capital referral networks are also competitors, and each geographical market generally has many competitors. National and regional consulting firms also offer similar financial advisory services and capital networking advice. In addition, we will always be exposed to the risk that certain of our prospective clients will decide to hire. full-time senior corporate development , market-planning and finance executives who can provide the relevant services internally.
Employees
As of the date of this prospectus, Daniels Corporate Advisory has one full-time employee and five part-time independent contractor consultants. Daniels Corporate Advisory is not a party to a collective bargaining agreement with its employee and Daniels Corporate Advisory believes that its relationship with its employee is satisfactory .
Daniels Corporate Advisory currently anticipates the hire of a Senior Vice President - Corporate Development upon effectiveness of this Registration Statement. It will hire additional employees in the next six months, dependent upon the level of success in the placement of shares from this Offering. Daniels Corporate Advisory does not feel that it would have any difficulty in locating needed expert/professionals in the New York metropolitan area
From time-to-time, Daniels Corporate Advisory anticipates that it will use the services of independent contractors as consultants to support its business development or that of its clients. Daniels Corporate Advisory believes its future success depends in large part upon the continued service of its senior management personnel and its ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial personnel.
If one or more of our senior executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and our business may be disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Competition for senior management personnel is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives, or attract and retain high-quality senior executives in the future. Such failure could materially and adversely affect our future growth and financial condition.
We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
|
●
|
|
A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related MD&A;
|
|
●
|
|
Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
|
|
●
|
|
Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and
|
|
●
|
|
No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.
|
We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided above and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly under the headings “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”
Unless the context otherwise suggests, “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms, as well as references to “Daniels Corporate Advisory,” all refer to Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. as of the date of this prospectus. See “Business.”
Seasonality
Our proposed business is not subject to seasonality.
Impact of Inflation
General inflation in the economy has driven the operating expenses of many businesses higher. We will continuously seek methods of reducing costs and streamlining operations while maximizing efficiency through improved internal operating procedures and controls. While we are subject to inflation as described above, our management believes that inflation currently does not have a material effect on our operating results. However, inflation may become a factor in the future.
Impact of Current Economic Times
The current recessionary times have caused serious delays in the growth plans of a substantial number of nano-cap, public companies. Sales are sluggish and for the most part, down sharply, depending on the industry. As a result, operating costs are up significantly as many businesses cannot cut fixed overhead without hurting future turnaround results during an improved economy. Our strategic plan includes the development of methods for reduction of costs and maximizing of efficiencies; through improved internal operating procedures and controls.
We believe we will achieve growth through these times by direct marketing to other service providers and partnering with them in the servicing of their, as well as our own, clients in the implementation of jointly-developed growth plans.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes:
·
|
We are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and
|
·
|
Different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
|
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.
In preparing our financial statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include useful lives for fixed assets for depreciation calculations and assumptions for valuing options and warrants. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

s described above.

Sales for the three months ended February 28, 2014 were $259,979 compared to $0 for the three months ended February 28, 2013 an increase of $259,979. This reflects revenue from our start up logistics subsidiary of $259,979 income.

Our major cost is wages which was decreased by $25,000 in the current quarter.

Net Income
The Company had a net income for the three months ended February 28, 2014 of $95,260 compared to a net loss of $53,039 for the three months ended February 28, 2013. This increase of $148,299 was in majority due to our logistics subsidiary which generated nice profits in 2014 and was not operating in 2013 along with other minor items described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of liquidity has been expenses paid by Arthur D. Viola, our sole officer and director and controlling stockholder. As of February 28, 2014, we had $118,499 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $824,566.
Financing Activities
We will have to raise capital by means of borrowings or through a private placement or a subsequent registered offering.. At present, we do not have any commitments with respect to future financings. If we are unable to raise adequate capital, in the near term, to finance all phases of a client corporate consulting assignment, our proposed business will experience slow growth because it will be very hard to compete for business without a sound capital base to support advisory and implementation efforts on our suggested corporate growth strategies.
At present, we do have sufficient capital on hand to fund very limited operations for the immediate future. Our consulting income on current and expected assignments (and continued support from Arthur D. Viola, our sole officer and director, is believed to be sufficient to support current capital demands. Management estimates that we will need at least $2 million to fund client corporate development consulting projects over the next 12 months. However, even if limited funds are raised, consulting services can still be provided for Phase One of assignments, (the providing of consulting expertise). Phase Two, (the providing of short term capital to client companies), will have to be curtailed because of a limited capital raise or be provided by Mr. Viola and/or a joint-venture partner who will share in the potential revenues from Phase Two portions of any project. This joint-venture sharing will limit the amount of profit we can earn in any one project.
Limited growth prospects, because of lack of sufficient capital to implement results of corporate consulting assignments, may very well not produce sufficient profit to cover the costs that will now be incurred by Daniels Corporate Advisory. Legal and accounting expenses are significant for a reporting company and we will have to cover them out of limited consulting operations fees due to lack of adequate funding. This may place additional constraints on the growth prospects of Daniels Corporate Advisory as it may have to curtail added assignments for lack of adequate working capital to manage these new assignments. If sufficient capital is not raised over the next 12 months, the limited consulting assignments current available will not be sufficient to sustain our long term operations as a public company, and we could fail.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We conduct all of our transactions in U.S. dollars. We are, therefore, not directly subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations and do not hedge or otherwise deal in currency instruments in an attempt to minimize such risks.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on date of grant. We measure compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize compensation cost upon the probable attainment of a specified performance condition or over a service period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events
(“SFAS 165” or ASC 855). SFAS 165 (ASC 855) establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 (ASC 855) sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 (ASC 855) was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162
(“SFAS 168” or ASC 105-10). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The Codification did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Properties
Daniels Corporate Advisory's operational headquarters are located at Parker Towers, I04-60, Queens Boulevard , 12th Floor, Forest Hills, New York 1 1375. Our office space is provided by Arthur D. Viola, our key officer, director, and controlling stockholder on a monthly basis at the going market rate of $2,025 per month . As our business grows, we may be forced to move to other offices and pay rent. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs for the foreseeable future and if additional space is needed , it would be available on favorable terms at an acceptable location.
Legal Proceedings
Daniels Corporate Advisory is not engaged in any litigation , and we are unaware of any claims or complaints that could result in future litigation . We will seek to minimize disputes with our customers and others but recognize the inevitability of legal action in today's business environment as an unfortunate price of conducting business.

We may employ additional management personnel, as Daniels Corporate Advisory 's board of directors deems necessary . Daniels Corporate Advisory has not identified or reached an agreement or understanding with any other individuals to serve in management positions, but does not anticipate any problem in employing qualified staff. -
A description of the business experience during the past several years for Daniels Corporate Advisory directors and executive officers are set forth below.
Arthur D. Viola, 61, has been our chairman, president, chief executive officer and a director since September, 2002. In I 98 I , Mr. Viola founded The Viola Group, Inc., a New York based public company which acquired, and managed private companies. From 1990 to the present, Mr. Viola has served as senior partner of Daniels Corporate Advisory Co., a New York based private company, which is a predecessor of the registrant, and which advised and helped grow small public companies. Previously, Mr. Viola was involved in mergers and acquisitions as an AVP Corporate Finance/M &A Department of Bank of America, (1980 1982) as a Senior Acquisitions/Market-Planner at Gulf & Western (1978-1979) and as a Senior Acquisitions Analyst at Crane Co., (1975 1978) and was an account manager for Citibank , N.A . (1971-1974) in their Institutional Investment Management Department. Mr. Viola attended New York University (Advanced work in Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions) and the New York University Real Estate Institute for Real Estate Development. He received an MBA from Pace University (Financial Management & Accounting) and a BA from Iona College (Economics and Finance).
While Mr. Viola is currently the sole director of the Daniel Corporate Advisory, our board will be expanded upon adequate funding. Mr. Viola has many years of experience as a financial and corporate development team participant in corporate strategies Joint-ventures, mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, new product/division launches, and divestitures) and their negotiation, analysis and implementation. He has experienced their resulting effects and participated in their adjustment/refinement within business units of some of the largest corporations in the United States; all Fortune 500 companies. Along with making his transition from a big business unit financial/corporate development professional to small business senior management, Mr. Viola furthered his career through on-going specialized senior executive education programs in a variety of specialties at the well-respected New York universities named in the preceding paragraph. He developed several financial models that integrated financial and operational skills of his Fortune 500 experience for integration into small private and public companies.
Committees of the Board
We do not currently have an Audit, Executive, Finance, Compensation, or Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the board of directors. However, Daniels Corporate Advisory has adopted charters for these committees, in the event that Daniels Corporate Advisory elects to implement them. At the present time, we do not have any plans to implement the committees and cannot predict when we might do so. Copies of the charters for each proposed committee are attached to this prospectus as exhibits.
The responsibilities of these committees are fulfilled by Daniels Corporate Advisory's sole director, Mr. Viola. He participates on all these committees and is not considered "independent" as defined under Rule 4200(a)(l5) of the NASD's listing standards described below, as Daniels Corporate Advisory 's financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain qualified independent board members . In addition, Daniels Corporate Advisory does not currently have an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined in the Securities
Act. Since Daniels Corporate Advisory does not have any of the subject committees, Daniels Corporate Advisory 's sole director, Mr. Viola, participates in all of the considerations with respect to Daniels Corporate Advisory 's audit, compensation and nomination deliberations.
Audit Committee
The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board approves the selection of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants Daniels Corporate Advisory’s annual operating results, considers the adequacy of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.
Daniels Corporate Advisory has determined that Arthur D. Viola is a financial expert as defined by Section 407 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, Mr. Viola is not independent as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act. In order to be considered to be independent, a member of an audit committee of a listed issuer that is not an investment company may not, other than in his capacity as a member of the audit committee, our board of directors or any other board committee:
·
|
Accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the issuer or any subsidiary thereof, provided that, unless the rules of the national securities exchange or national securities association provide otherwise, compensatory fees do not include the receipt of fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement plan (including deferred compensation) for prior service with the listed issuer (provided that such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service); or
|
·
|
Be an affiliated person of the issuer or any subsidiary thereof.
|
Mr. Viola has acquired the status of financial expert through experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions, and overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements.
Nomination Committee
The size of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s board, at this time, does not require a separate nominating committee. When evaluating director nominees, Daniels Corporate Advisory’s sole director, Mr. Viola, will consider the following factors:
·
|
The appropriate size of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s board of directors;
|
·
|
Daniels Corporate Advisory needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s directors;
|
·
|
The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the board;
|
·
|
Experience in political affairs;
|
·
|
Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
|
·
|
The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new board members.
|
Daniels Corporate Advisory goal is to assemble a board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in Daniels Corporate Advisory’s best interests as well as Daniels Corporate Advisory’s stockholders. In addition, the board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the board willing to continue in service. Current members of the board with skills and experience that are relevant to Daniels Corporate Advisory’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the board does not wish to continue in service or if the board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, Daniels Corporate Advisory has not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although Daniels Corporate Advisory reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The board does not typically consider stockholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve Daniels Corporate Advisory’s best interests.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the directors and certain of the officers, and persons holding more than 10 percent of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s common stock will be required to file forms reporting their beneficial ownership of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s common stock and subsequent changes in that ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons will also be required to furnish management with copies of all forms so filed.
Communication with Directors
Stockholders and other interested parties may contact the sole director of Daniels Corporate Advisory by writing to him at Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc., c/o Arthur D. Viola, Parker Towers, 104-60, Queens Boulevard, 12th Floor, Forest Hills, New York 11375.
Our sole director, Mr. Viola, has approved a process for handling letters received by Daniels Corporate Advisory and addressed to any of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s directors. Under that process, the Secretary reviews all such correspondence and regularly forwards to the directors a summary of all such correspondence, together with copies of all such correspondence that, in the opinion of the Secretary, deal with functions of the board or committees thereof or that he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by Daniels Corporate Advisory that is addressed to members of the board and request copies of such correspondence.
Conflicts of Interest
From time to time, one or more of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s affiliates may form or hold an ownership interest in and/or manage other businesses both related and unrelated to the type of business that Daniels Corporate Advisory own and operate. These persons expect to continue to form, hold an ownership interest in and/or manage additional other businesses which may compete with Daniels Corporate Advisory with respect to operations, including financing and marketing, management time and services and potential customers. These activities may give rise to conflicts between or among the interests of Daniels Corporate Advisory and other businesses with which Daniels Corporate Advisory’s affiliates are associated. Daniels Corporate Advisory affiliates are in no way prohibited from undertaking such activities, and neither Daniels Corporate Advisory nor its stockholders will have any right to require participation in such other activities.
With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, hawse have adopted policies and procedures which require that: (i) the fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval, (ii) the transaction be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors, and (iii) the transaction be fair and reasonable to Daniels Corporate Advisory at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.

Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation
At present Daniels Corporate Advisory has only one executive officer. The compensation program for future executives will consist of three key elements which will be considered by a compensation committee to be appointed:
·
|
A performance bonus; and
|
·
|
Periodic grants and/or options of our common stock.
|
Base Salary
. Daniels Corporate Advisory chief executive officer and all other senior executive officers receive compensation based on such factors as competitive industry salaries, a subjective assessment of the contribution and experience of the officer, and the specific recommendation by our chief executive officer.
Performance Bonus
. A portion of each officer’s total annual compensation is in the form of a bonus. All bonus payments to officers must be approved by our compensation committee based on the individual officer’s performance and company performance.
Stock Incentive
. Stock options are granted to executive officers based on their positions and individual performance. Stock options provide incentive for the creation of stockholder value over the long term and aid significantly in the recruitment and retention of executive officers. The compensation committee considers the recommendations of the chief executive officer for stock option grants to executive officers (other than the chief executive officer) and approves, disapproves or modifies such recommendation. See “Market Price of and Dividends on our Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.”
Compensation to our officers and employees will be paid only when we have sufficient funds for that purpose. At present, we do not possess such funds.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth, for the last three fiscal years, the compensation earned for services rendered in all capacities by our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the other highest-paid executive officers serving as such at the end of 2009 whose compensation for that fiscal year was in excess of $100,000. The individuals named in the table will be hereinafter referred to as the “Named Officers.” No other executive officer of Daniels Corporate Advisory received compensation in excess of $100,000 during fiscal years 2009 through 2013.
We currently have only one executive officer. Our tables reflect the total compensation accrued for the years indicated. The amounts consist of a base salary only for those periods. Due to operating limitations and results of operations during those periods listed there were no performance bonuses or grants of options and or stock incentives. This does not preclude future periods from including such amounts. There was no interest accrued on these amounts nor will we accrue interest on such amounts.

As indicated in the table above, Arthur D. Viola, our key officer and director, owns 100,000 shares of our preferred stock which equates to 100 percent of our preferred stock. Our Super Voting preferred stock has voting rights equal to 500 shares of the our common stock for every one share of our preferred stock held, which equates to voting rights of 50,000,000 shares of the our common stock. The voting rights of our common stock contained in our preferred stock along with the 2,454,500 common shares will provide Mr. Viola with voting rights equal to 52,454,500 shares of our common stock, which amount exceeds the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, Arthur D. Viola is able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval including the election of directors, merger or consolidation and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent acts that would result in a change of control, which in turn could reduce the market price of our common stock.
During the last five years, Arthur D. Viola, a citizen of the United States, has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), and was not party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Other than as stated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings, known to us, including any pledge by any person of our securities:
·
|
The operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the registrant; or

·

With respect to the election of directors or other matters.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
General
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws concern matters of corporate governance and the rights of our stockholders, such as the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of our common and preferred stock and to set the voting rights, preferences, and other terms of our preferred stock without further stockholder action. These provisions could also delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or the assumption of control of our board of directors by our stockholders, and may be deemed to discourage takeover attempts, mergers, tender offers, or proxy contests not first approved by our board of directors, which some stockholders may deem to be in their best interests.
Board
of
Directors
The business and affairs of Daniels Corporate Advisory are managed under the direction of our board of directors, which currently consists of one member, Arthur Viola, key officer. The number of members on our board of directors is fixed by, and may be increased or decreased from time to time by, the affirmative vote of a majority of the members at any time constituting our board of directors.
Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on our board of directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the board of directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term for which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until the director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the board of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Our board of directors may not have less than one member. There is no limit on the maximum size of our board.
Whenever the holders of any class or series of our capital stock are entitled to elect one or more directors under any resolution or resolutions of our board of directors designating a series of our preferred stock, vacancies and newly created directorships of a class or series may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office elected by the applicable class or series, by a sole remaining director so elected, or by the unanimous written consent, or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect the directors.
Any director may be removed from office only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of our then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders called for that purpose, voting together as a single class.
Meetings of Stockholders
Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of our stockholders may only be called by:
·
|
Our chairman of the board, or our president if there is no chairman;
|
·
|
The holders of at least 10 percent of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting; or
|
·
|
Our board of directors by means of a duly adopted resolution.
|
Special stockholder meetings may not be called by any other person or in any other manner. Our bylaws provide that only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at the special meeting. Our articles of incorporation do not permit our stockholders to take an action by written consent unless the action to be taken and the taking of that action by written consent have been approved in advance by our board of directors.
The next annual meeting of our stockholders will be held in 2014, on a date and at a place and time designated by our board of directors.
Limitation of Liability
Our articles of incorporation provide that the liability of our directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law. In addition, Daniels Corporate Advisory is authorized to indemnify its agents, including without limitation, directors and officers, whether by bylaw, agreement or otherwise, to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law.
Our bylaws contain similar indemnification and limitation of liability provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling Daniels Corporate Advisory under the indemnification provisions, or otherwise, Daniels Corporate Advisory is aware that, in the opinion of the SEC, the indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Amendment of Bylaws
Under our articles of incorporation, our bylaws may be amended by our board of directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock then outstanding and entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Our articles of incorporation permit us to limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes. As permitted by Nevada law, our bylaws and articles of incorporation also include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of each of our officers and directors for any obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of such officer or director performed for or on behalf of Daniels Corporate Advisory. To the fullest extent allowed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, we will defend, indemnify and hold harmless its directors or officers from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which each director or officer becomes subject to in connection with the performance of his or her duties and will reimburse each such director or officer for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any such claim of liability. However, we will not indemnify any officer or director against, or reimburse for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of the officer’s or director’s own negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty.
The provisions of our bylaws and articles of incorporation regarding indemnification are not exclusive of any other right we have to indemnify or reimburse our officers or directors in any proper case, even if not specifically provided for in our articles of incorporation or bylaws.
We believe that the indemnity provisions contained in our bylaws and the limitation of liability provisions contained in our articles of incorporation are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons for these positions. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Under the terms of this offering, the shares of our common stock offered may be resold without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Sale of Restricted Shares
In the future following the date of this prospectus, shares of our outstanding common stock may be issued and sold by Daniels Corporate Advisory in private transactions in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and not registered for resale. Such shares may be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by Daniels Corporate Advisory or an applicable exemption, including the exemption contained in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Rule 144
In general, Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, provides:
·
|
If the issuer of the securities is, and has been for a period of at least 90 days immediately before the sale, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, a minimum of six months must elapse between the later of the date of the acquisition of the securities from the issuer, or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of such securities in reliance on this section for the account of either the acquirer or any subsequent holder of those securities.
|
·
|
If the issuer of the securities is not, or has not been for a period of at least 90 days immediately before the sale, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, a minimum of one year must elapse between the later of the date of the acquisition of the securities from the issuer, or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of such securities in reliance on this section for the account of either the acquirer or any subsequent holder of those securities.
|
·
|
Except as provided in Rule 144, the amount of securities sold for the account of an affiliate of the issuer in reliance upon this section shall be determined as follows: If any securities are sold for the account of an affiliate of the issuer, regardless of whether those securities are restricted, the amount of securities sold, together with all sales of securities of the same class sold for the account of such person within the preceding three months, shall not exceed the greatest of: (A) one percent of the shares or other units of the class outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the issuer, or (B) the average weekly reported volume of trading in such securities on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of notice required by paragraph (h) of Rule 144, or if no such notice is required the date of receipt of the order to execute the transaction by the broker or the date of execution of the transaction directly with a market maker, or (C) the average weekly volume of trading in such securities reported pursuant to an effective transaction reporting plan or an effective national market system plan during the four-week period specified in paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of Rule 144.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The authorized capital stock of Daniels Corporate Advisory consists of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”) and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “preferred stock”). As of the date of this prospectus, 9,791,319 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and 100,000 shares of our preferred stock are issued and outstanding.
The following description of certain matters relating to our securities is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Daniels Corporate Advisory’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.
Preferred Stock
Mr. Viola, our sole director, has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to provide for the issuance of shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares, designations, preferences, powers and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications or restrictions on the rights. The holders of our preferred stock do not have any cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription rights by virtue of their ownership of our preferred stock. The preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different series of our preferred stock may vary with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions, purchase funds, and other matters. The issuance of a series of our preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock or affect adversely the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock. Likewise, any issuance may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Daniels Corporate Advisory. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Preferred Stock of Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. filed on August 4, 2010, with the Secretary of State of Nevada, our board adopted a resolution creating a series of 100,000 preferred shares which possessed the following characteristics:
·
|
Liquidation Rights.
Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Daniels Corporate Advisory, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of Daniels Corporate Advisory the sum of $0.001 per share (the “Liquidation Rate”) before any payment or distribution shall be made on the common stock, or any other class of capital stock of Daniels Corporate Advisory ranking junior to the preferred stock.
|
·
|
No Conversion.
The shares of the preferred stock shall not be convertible into shares of the common stock, preferred stock, or any other securities of Daniels Corporate Advisory.
|
·
|
Preferred Status.
The rights of the shares of the common stock shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the shares of the preferred stock. Without the prior written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock, Daniels Corporate Advisory shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital stock that is of senior or equal rank to the shares of the preferred stock in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of Daniels Corporate Advisory described in Paragraph 2 above.
|
·
|
Restriction on Dividends.
If any shares of the preferred stock are outstanding, Daniels Corporate Advisory shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding shares of the preferred stock, directly or indirectly declare, pay or make any dividends or other distributions upon any of the common stock.
|
·
|
Vote to Change the Terms of the Preferred Stock.
Without the prior written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock, Daniels Corporate Advisory shall not amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the preferred stock.
|
·
|
Voting.
On all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder of shares of the preferred stock shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of the preferred stock held by such holder multiplied by 500. If no such record date is established, the date to be used for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall be the date on which notice of the meeting of stockholders at which the vote is to be taken is marked, or the date any written consent of stockholders is solicited if the vote is not to be taken at a meeting. The holders of preferred stock shall not vote as a separate class, but shall vote with the holders of the common stock. Except as otherwise may be provided by law, the holders of the preferred stock shall be entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to the vote of the holders of the preferred stock.
|
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. The holders of the common stock have the sole right to vote, except as otherwise provided by law, by our articles of incorporation, or in a statement by our board of directors in a Preferred Stock Designation.
In addition, such holders are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors, (but presently by our sole director, Mr. Viola), out of legally available funds, subject to the payment of preferential dividends or other restrictions on dividends contained in any Preferred Stock Designation, including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock Designation establishing a series of preferred stock described above. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Daniels Corporate Advisory, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all our liabilities, subject to the preferential distribution rights granted to the holders of any series of our preferred stock in any Preferred Stock Designation, including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock Designation establishing a series of our preferred stock described above.
The holders of the common stock do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights to acquire or subscribe for additional, unissued or treasury shares in accordance with the laws of State of Nevada. Accordingly, excluding any voting rights granted to any series of our preferred stock, the holders of more than 50 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares of the common stock voting for the election of the directors will be unable to elect any person or persons to the board of directors. All outstanding shares of the common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
The laws of the State of Nevada provide that the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of the outstanding shares of our common stock and any series of our preferred stock entitled to vote thereon is required to authorize any amendment to our articles of incorporation, any merger or consolidation of Daniels Corporate Advisory with any corporation, or any liquidation or disposition of any substantial assets of Daniels Corporate Advisory.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not issued any options to purchase shares of our common stock, although we may do so in the future.

We are offering up to 2,600,000 shares of common stock on a self-underwritten basis. The offering price is $0.50 per share. Funds from this offering will not be placed in a separate bank account.

Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof.
The Resale
Our common stock is not listed on a public exchange. Prior to being actively quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. The selling security holders will sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.50 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
Once our common stock is actively quoted on OTC Bulletin Board and a market has developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders, who may be deemed to be underwriters, 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:
|
●
|
ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,
|
|
●
|
transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, market where our common stock is trading,
|
|
●
|
through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,
|
|
●
|
through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or
|
|
●
|
any combination of the foregoing.
|
In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus. To our best knowledge, none of the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.
We will advise the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling security holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling security holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $40,000.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds of the offering.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act - Penny Stock Rules
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which:
|
●
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “
bid
” and “
ask
” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
|
●
|
with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
|
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our securities because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, security holders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Regulation M
Each of our officers and directors, who will promote the shares, is aware that he is required to comply with the provisions of Regulation M, promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes officers and/or directors, sales agents, any broker-dealers or other person who participate in the distribution of shares in this offering from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
Offering Period and Expiration Date
This offering will start on the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and continue for a period of 365 days, or sooner if the offering is completed or otherwise terminated by us.
We will not offer to sell through the use or medium of any prospectus or otherwise any security until this registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Right to Reject Subscriptions
We have the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately to the subscriber, without interest or deductions. Subscriptions for securities will be accepted or rejected within 48 hours after we receive them.

No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc.
New York, NY
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc., as of November 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income(loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. as of November 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations, comprehensive income(loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5, the Company has incurred significant losses since inception of $4,848,909 and has a working capital of $926,056. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc.(The company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 2, 2002. The Company was organized to offer: (a) corporate financial consulting and (b) merchant banking services for public and private client companies interested in implementing Daniels developed, agreed upon, accelerated growth strategies; including MBO/LBO, Roll-up Transactions. Merchant banking includes equity funding of the growth of client and service companies, as well as funding equity of small public companies. The business became a subsidiary in late 2003 as a result of INfe Human Resources, Inc. (a publicly quoted Nevada Company) acquiring the common stock of Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. During August 24010, INfe Human Resources, Inc. underwent a name change to Rhino Human Resources, Inc., but is still public and trades under the same (original) stock symbol: “IFHR.”
The company has a growth goal of providing advisory services to business services as well as non-business services client companies. The company works with companies seeking to create and/or acquire adjunct service businesses, whose services will initially provide better lifestyles for its existing workforce, and ultimately will be packaged, on an additional profit center basis, for sale to other small companies for the retention of their employees.

The Daniels Merchant Bank has an in-house equity funding program, whereby Daniels will participate in consulting client potential growth by helping finance the growth of public and private client, business service companies, as well as non-business service companies. The Merchant Bank will also participate in non-client potential growth by the purchase of equity in attractive small public companies whose growth strategies are in line with a philosophy of growth through leveraged acquisitions.
The Company formed on October 11, 2013 Daniel's Logistics Inc. a wholly owned operating subsidiary in the field of logistics was incorporated in the state of Nevada to take advantage of niche operating opportunities and possible acquisitions in the logistics field.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation:
We have prepared the accompanying audited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including the instructions to Form S-1 and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such rules and regulations allow us to condense and omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe these audited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. The information included in this Form S-1 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form S-1 for the years ended November 30, 2011 and 2010. The audited consolidated financial information contained in this filing is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period, or for the full year.
DANIELS CORPORATE ADVISORY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FASB Codification:
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105,
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
(“Codification”) effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Codification does not replace or affect guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. As a result of the Codification, the references to authoritative accounting pronouncements included herein in this Annual Report now refer to the Codification topic section rather than a specific accounting rule as was past practice.
Principles of Consolidation:
The financial statements include only the accounts of Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. The intercompany transactions have not been eliminated with the parent company INfe Human Resources, Inc .nor any of her subsidiaries in order to provide the standalone entity Daniels. There are no intercompany transactions included that provide any income or expense generating items between any of the inter related companies.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risk and Uncertainties:
Our future results of operations and financial condition will be impacted by the following factors, among others: our lack of capital resources, dependence on third-party management to operate the companies in which we invest and dependence on the successful development and marketing of any new products in new and existing markets. Generally, we are unable to predict the future status of these areas of risk and uncertainty. However, negative trends or conditions in these areas could have an adverse affect on our business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For financial statement presentation purposes, short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts at

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
several financial institutions, which at times may exceed the insurable FDIC limit, but management believes that there is little risk of loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
●
|
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
●
|
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
●
|
Level 3—Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
|
The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include investments in available-for-sale securities and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company has also applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Investments:
Our investments consist of common stock of publicly quoted companies and are valued based on the closing stock price. We account for our investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments. We have designated our investments at November 30, 2013 as available-for-sale and reported these investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). We determined the fair value of these investments based on the closing quoted stock price on November 30, 2013 or the lowest bid price should a closing quote be unavailable. We base the cost of the investment sold on the specific identification method using market rates.
Comprehensive Income:
ASC Topic 220 (SFAS No. 130) establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Per the consolidated financial statements, the Company has purchased available-for-sale securities that are subject to this reporting.
DANIELS CORPORATE ADVISORY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment:
All of our non-marketable and other investments are subject to a periodic impairment review. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary.
When events or changes in circumstances indicate that long-lived assets other than goodwill may be impaired, an evaluation is performed to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. When an asset is classified as held for sale, the asset's book value is evaluated and adjusted to the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. In addition, depreciation and amortization ceases while it is classified as held for sale.
The indicators that we use to identify those events and circumstances include:
·
|
the investee’s revenue and earnings trends relative to predefined milestones and overall business prospects;
|
·
|
the general market conditions in the investee’s industry or geographic area, including regulatory or economic changes;
|
·
|
factors related to the investee’s ability to remain in business, such as the investee’s liquidity, debt ratios, and the rate at which the investee is using its cash; and
|
·
|
the investee’s receipt of additional funding at a lower valuation. If an investee obtains additional funding at a valuation lower than our carrying amount or a new round of equity funding is required for the investee to remain in business, and the new round of equity does not appear imminent, it is presumed that the investment is other than temporarily impaired, unless specific facts and circumstances indicate otherwise.
|
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, an amendment to the accounting guidance for disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The amendment expands the disclosure requirements in that entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and shall be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material effect on our financial statements when implemented.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-8an amendment to the accounting guidance for goodwill in order to simplify how companies test goodwill for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material effect on our financial statements when implemented.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, an amendment to the accounting guidance for presentation of comprehensive income. Under the amended guidance, an entity may present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In either case, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. For public companies, the amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and shall be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We elected not to early adopt. Other than a change in presentation, the implementation of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements when implemented.
In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for fair value measurement and disclosure. Among other things, the guidance expands the disclosure requirements around fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires disclosure of the level in the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but whose fair value must be disclosed. It also clarifies and expands upon existing requirements for measurement of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as instruments classified in shareholders’ equity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements when implemented.
There are no other new accounting pronouncements adopted or enacted during the six months ended November 30, 2013 that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our financial statements.
Election to be treated as an emerging growth company:
In the first quarter of 2012, Daniels has elected to use the extended transition period now available for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b) (1). This election allows Daniels to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, the Daniels financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Revenue and Cost Recognition:
The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc., (Daniels) has revenues as a result of corporate financial consulting services which are recognized as services are performed. Daniels also operates the merchant banking division, which did not have any revenues to recognize.
Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets acquired would be reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financing Fees:
Financing fees were being amortized over the life of the related liability on the straight-line method which is not materially different than using the effective interest method. All amortization has been expensed since the ongoing staffing operations have discontinued from which the finance fees were originally accrued.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) according to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, which requires the presentation of basic EPS and, for companies with complex capital structures, diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted by other changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares, by the weighted number of common shares and common share equivalents (unless their effect is anti-dilutive) outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Thus, these equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share, resulting in basic and diluted loss per share being equal. The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS for the years ended November 30, 2013 and 2012:

Income Taxes:
The Company, a C-corporation, accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 (SFAS No. 109)
.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The company adopted a policy of evaluating the valuation allowance for the proceeding next twelve months against current historical income trends for possible adjustments on a year to year basis.
DANIELS CORPORATE ADVISORY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
” (ASC 740-10), on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740- 10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
Currently the Daniels has projected $4,848,909 as of November 30, 2013 in Net Loss Operating Loss carry-forwards available. The benefits of the potential tax savings will be recognized in the financial statements upon the acquisition or development of revenue source to apply against these losses. The company recognizes that the Internal Revenue Service has the final determination of the NOL available going forward and that amount may be significantly different from that recorded to date.
NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE SHAREHOLDER LOANS
As of November 30, 2012 the balance was $0 and as of November 30, 2012 the balance of $4,495 represented loans from Arthur Viola, shareholder, all of which was used for the company’s working capital requirements. Those loans were unsecured, non-interest bearing, and had no specific repayment terms.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
Cash Equivalents are Investments consist of a portfolio of common stocks trading on the OTC: BB that are not being held long term for strategic reasons. The fair market values of the investments were $78 and $82 at November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively. Due to their immaterial amounts and that they are liquid they have been classified as cash equivalents. Unrealized losses for cash equivalents and investments for the year ended November 30, 2013 were $0 and unrealized gains were $9,536 for the year ended November 30, 2012.
Investments are Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. During the period ended November 30, 2013 we realized a loss of $1,678 and we had zero gains or losses for the year ended November 30, 2012. The Company also recorded an impairment on another investment for the year ended November 30, 2013 of $103,800 based upon the lack of any trading market in the stock and the year end market bid price of those securities. For purpose of determining gross realized gains, the cost of securities when sold is based on the FIFO method of valuation. Net unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities in the amount of $(38,962) and $(45,962), respectively, for November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012 and have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Currently, the Company has incurred operating losses, and as of November 30, 2013 the Company had a working capital deficit of $926,056 and an accumulated deficit of $4,848,909. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors including the success of the Company’s development efforts and its efforts to raise capital. Management also believes the Company needs to raise additional capital for working capital purposes. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments:
The Company currently has no long term commitments.
Contingencies:
None
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
As of November 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $4,848,909 in net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes which expire between 2014 and 2029. Generally, these can be carried forward and applied against future taxable income at the tax rate applicable at that time. We are currently using a 35% effective tax rate for our projected available net operating loss carry-forward. However, as a result of potential stock offerings and stock issuance in connection with potential acquisitions, as well as the possibility of the Company not realizing its business plan objectives and having future taxable income to offset, the Company’s use of these NOLs may be limited under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is in the process of evaluating the implications of Section 382 on its ability to utilize some or all of its NOLs and has recorded $133,738 of deferred taxes for the coming year based upon our projection of NOL use for the coming twelve months..
Components of deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are as follows:

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets, if based on the weight of available evidence, some or all of the deferred tax assets may or will not be realized. The Company has evaluated its ability to realize some or all of the deferred tax assets on its balance sheet for the coming year and has established a valuation allowance in the amount of S1,450,737 at November 30, 2013 and $1,582,618 at November 30, 2012. During the years ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012 the company did not utilize any of its NOL.
Note 8 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The accounting standards for reporting information about operating segments define operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company is organized by line of business. While the Chief Executive Officer evaluates results in a number of different ways, the line of business management structure is the primary basis for which the allocation of resources and financial results are assessed. Under the aforementioned criteria, the Company operates in two operating and reporting segments: corporate consulting and logistics. Our parent Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. is one segment of the Company that derives its corporate consulting. Our other business segment is our wholly owned subsidiary Daniels Logistics, Inc., which provides niche logistic services.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2013 AND 2012
Note 8 - SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
The information provided below is obtained from internal information that is provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for the purpose of corporate management. The Company uses operating income (loss) to measure segment performance. The Company does not allocate corporate interest income and expense, income taxes, other income and expenses related to corporate activity or corporate expense for management and administrative services that benefit both segments. In addition, the Company does not allocate restructuring charges to the segment operating income (loss) because management does not include this information in its measurement of the performance of the operating segments. Because of this unallocated income and expense, the operating income (loss) of each reporting segment does not reflect the operating income (loss) the reporting segment would report as a stand-alone business and therefore we do not present indirect operating expenses.
The table below illustrates the Company’s results by reporting segment for the years ended November 30, 2013 and 2012:

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc.(The company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 2, 2002. The Company was organized to offer: (a) corporate financial consulting and (b) merchant banking services for public and private client companies interested in implementing Daniels developed, agreed upon, accelerated growth strategies; including MBO/LBO, Roll-up Transactions. Merchant banking includes equity funding of the growth of client and service companies, as well as funding equity of small public companies. The business became a subsidiary in late 2003 as a result of INfe Human Resources, Inc. (a publicly quoted Nevada Company) acquiring the common stock of Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. During August 2010, INfe Human Resources, Inc. underwent a name change to Rhino Human Resources, Inc., but is still public and trades under the same (original) stock symbol: “IFHR.”
The company has a growth goal of providing advisory services to business services as well as non-business services client companies. The company works with companies seeking to create and/or acquire adjunct service businesses, whose services will initially provide better lifestyles for its existing workforce, and ultimately will be packaged, on an additional profit center basis, for sale to other small companies for the retention of their employees. The profits generated from all the financial consulting assignments will be available for venture investment in public or private client companies, as well as other quality business concept/operating companies, both public and private; through the Daniels’ Merchant Bank Division.
The Daniels Merchant Bank has an in-house equity funding program, whereby Daniels will participate in consulting client potential growth by helping finance the growth of public and private client, business service companies, as well as non-business service companies. The Merchant Bank will also participate in non-client potential
growth by the purchase of equity in attractive small public companies whose growth strategies are in line with a philosophy of growth through leveraged acquisitions.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation:
We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including the instructions to Form S-1 and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such rules and regulations allow us to condense and omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.
Election to be treated as an emerging growth company:
For the five year period starting in the first quarter of 2012, Daniels if continuing eligibility applies has elected to use the extended transition period now available for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b) (1). This election allows Daniels to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of the Company still being eligible, the Daniels financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FASB Codification:
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105,
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
(“Codification”) effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Codification does not replace or affect guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. As a result of the Codification, the references to authoritative accounting pronouncements included herein in this Annual Report now refer to the Codification topic section rather than a specific accounting rule as was past practice.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risk and Uncertainties:
Our future results of operations and financial condition will be impacted by the following factors, among others: our lack of capital resources, dependence on third-party management to operate the companies in which we invest and dependence on the successful development and marketing of any new products in new and existing markets. Generally, we are unable to predict the future status of these areas of risk and uncertainty. However, negative trends or conditions in these areas could have an adverse affect on our business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For financial statement presentation purposes, short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts at several financial institutions, which at times may exceed the insurable FDIC limit, but management believes that there is little risk of loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
●
|
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
●
|
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
●
|
Level 3—Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
|
The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include investments in available-for-sale securities and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company has also applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Investments:
Our investments consist of common stock of publicly quoted companies and are valued based on the closing stock price. We account for our investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320,
Investments.
We have designated our investments at February 28, 2013 as available-for-sale and reported these investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). We determined the fair value of these investments based on the closing quoted stock price on February 28, 2013. We base the cost of the investment sold on the specific identification method using market rates.
Comprehensive Income:
ASC Topic 220 (SFAS No. 130) establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Per the consolidated financial statements, the Company has purchased available-for-sale securities that are subject to this reporting.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment:
All of our non-marketable and other investments are subject to a periodic impairment review. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary.
When events or changes in circumstances indicate that long-lived assets other than goodwill may be impaired, an evaluation is performed to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. When an asset is classified as held for sale, the asset's book value is evaluated and adjusted to the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. In addition, depreciation and amortization ceases while it is classified as held for sale.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The indicators that we use to identify those events and circumstances include:
|
·
the investee’s revenue and earnings trends relative to predefined milestones and overall business prospects;
|
|
·
the general market conditions in the investee’s industry or geographic area, including regulatory or economic changes;
|
|
·
factors related to the investee’s ability to remain in business, such as the investee’s liquidity, debt ratios, and the rate at which the investee is using its cash; and
|
|
·
the investee’s receipt of additional funding at a lower valuation. If an investee obtains additional funding at a valuation lower than our carrying amount or a new round of equity funding is required for the investee to remain in business, and the new round of equity does not appear imminent, it is presumed that the investment is other than temporarily impaired, unless specific facts and circumstances indicate otherwise.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events
(“SFAS 165” or ASC 855). SFAS 165 (ASC 855) establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 (ASC 855) sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 (ASC 855) was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162
(“SFAS 168” or ASC 105-10). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative
Non-governmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13,
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
(“ASU 2009-13. This standard updates FASB ASC 605,
Revenue Recognition
(“ASC 605”). The amendments to ASC 605 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. These amendments to ASC 605 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2010. Management does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have any impact on the Company’s financial statements. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(“ASU 2010-06”). This standard updates FASB ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements
(“ASC 820”). ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of desegregations and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 on January 1, 2010, which had no material impact on the financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
Revenue and Cost Recognition:
The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc., (Daniels) has revenues as a result of corporate financial consulting services which are recognized as services are performed. Daniels also operates the merchant banking division, which did not have any revenues to recognize.
Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets acquired would be reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized.
Financing Fees:
Financing fees were being amortized over the life of the related liability on the straight-line method which is not materially different than using the effective interest method. All amortization has been expensed since the ongoing staffing operations have discontinued from which the finance fees were originally accrued.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) according to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, which requires the presentation of basic EPS and, for companies with complex capital structures, diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted by other changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares, by the weighted number of common shares and common share equivalents (unless their effect is antidilutive) outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Thus, these equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share, resulting in basic and diluted loss per share being equal. The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended February 28, 2014 and February 29, 2013:

Income Taxes:
The Company, a C-corporation, accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 (SFAS No. 109)
.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
” (ASC 740-10), on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
Currently the Daniels has projected $4,753,649 as of February 28, 2014 in Net Loss Operating Loss carryforwards available. The benefits of the potential tax savings will be recognized in the recorded to date.
NOTE 3- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company currently rents space from Arthur Viola, CEO and shareholder. This is a month to month rental and there is no commitment beyond each month. The monthly rent is $2,025 and three months was expensed in the quarter ending February 28, 2014.
NOTE 4- INVESTMENTS
Investments consist of a portfolio of common stocks trading on the OTC: BB. The fair market values of the investments held for sale were $12 and $78 at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Due to the immaterial amounts and that they are liquid they have been classified as cash equivalents. Investments held as other assets as long term investments had fair market values of $10,200 and $10,200 at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Other assets are securities of the Company’s clients for long term capital appreciation. The total net unrealized loss for the period ended February 28, 2014 was $67 and the total net unrealized gain for the period ended February 29, 2013 was $32,921.
Cash Equivalents are marketable securities that are available-for-sale and not deemed long term investments by the Company. During the periods ended February 28, 2014 and February 29, 2013, there were no available-for-sale securities sold and gross realized (losses) gains on these sales were zero. For purpose of determining gross realized gains, the cost of securities when sold is based on the FIFO method of valuation. Net unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities both in cash and investments was $(38,962) and $(39,029), respectively, for February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013 and have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
NOTE 5- GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Currently, the Company has recurring operating losses, and as of February 28, 2014 the Company had a working capital deficit of $824,556 and an accumulated deficit of $4,753,649. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors including the success of the Company’s development efforts and its efforts to raise capital. Management also believes the Company needs to raise additional capital for working capital purposes. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 6- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments:
The Company currently has no long term commitments.
Contingencies:
None
NOTE 7- INCOME TAXES
As of February 28, 2014, the Company had approximately $4,753,649 in net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes which expire between 2011 and 2029. Generally, these can be carried forward and applied against future taxable income at the tax rate applicable at that time. We are currently using a 35% effective tax rate for our projected available net operating loss carryforward. However, as a result of potential stock offerings and stock issuance in connection with potential acquisitions, as well as the possibility of the Company not realizing it’s business plan objectives and having future taxable income to offset, the Company’s use of these NOLs may be limited under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is in the process of evaluating the implications of Section 382 on its ability to utilize some or all of its NOLs.
Components of deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are as follows:

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets, if based on the weight of available evidence, some or all of the deferred tax assets may or will not be realized. The Company has evaluated its ability to realize some or all of the deferred tax assets on its balance sheet and has established a valuation allowance in the amount of $1,530,039 at February 28, 2014 and $1,601,182 at February 29, 2013. The Company did not utilize any NOL deductions for the full fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 and expects to use $133,738 for the fical year ending November 30, 2014.
NOTE 8 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The accounting standards for reporting information about operating segments define operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company is organized by line of business. While the Chief Executive Officer evaluates results in a number of different ways, the line of business management structure is the primary basis for which the allocation of resources and financial results are assessed. Under the aforementioned criteria, the Company operates in two operating and reporting segments: corporate consulting and logistics. Our parent Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. is one segment of the Company that derives its corporate consulting. Our other business segment is our wholly owned subsidiary Daniels Logistics, Inc., which provides niche logistic services.
The information provided below is obtained from internal information that is provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for the purpose of corporate management. The Company uses operating income (loss) to measure segment performance. The Company does not allocate corporate interest income and expense, income taxes, other income and expenses related to corporate activity or corporate expense for management and administrative services that benefit both segments. In addition, the Company does not allocate restructuring charges to the segment operating income (loss) because management does not include this information in its measurement of the performance of the operating segments. Because of this unallocated income and expense, the operating income (loss) of each reporting segment does not reflect the operating income (loss) the reporting segment
Note 8 - SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
would report as a stand-alone business and therefore we do not present indirect operating expenses. Intersegment transactions have not been eliminated in order to reflect the comprehensive results of each segment.
The table below illustrates the Company’s results by reporting segment for the three months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013:

Item 14. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Our bylaws provide to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to Daniels Corporate Advisory or our stockholders for damages for breach of such director 's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our bylaws is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our stockholders (through stockholders ' derivative suits on behalf of Daniels Corporate Advisory) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent
or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Nevada corporate law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of that fact that he was a director, officer employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in,
or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action , had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Daniels Corporate Advisory pursuant to the foregoing provisions , or otherwise, Daniels Corporate Advisory has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore , unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Daniels Corporate Advisory of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Daniels Corporate Advisory 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, Daniels Corporate Advisory 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Stock:
On July 15, 2013, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to Arthur D. Viola, Chairman and CEO for services rendered.

Item 15: Recent Sales of Unregistered Stock
Due to the fact that the Private Placement Issuances of July 15 and August 15, 2013 were limited in dollar amounts and to offered to only a very few closely related parties to the Chairman, the Company has explained the conditions relating to “the Offerings,” on a “collective” basis.
In accordance with Item 701 of Regulation S-K, the circumstances of the issuances of the common stock ($.001 Par value) of the Registrant in the July 15 and August 15 2013 Private Placements are detailed, collectively, as follows. The Private Placements sales of securities on July 15, 2013 and August 15, 2013 (two Private Placement Offerings) issued common stock of the Registration to only a very few close family and friends of the Chairman, Arthur D. Viola. The share amounts and the type of security (common stock) are noted next to each recipient of shares. The company received nominal consideration of one penny ($.01) per share for the issuance of all the shares covered in both the July 15, and August 15 2013 Offerings.
The Company relied upon Section 4(a) (2) of the Securities Act for the private placement exemption for both Offerings. All recipients of the shares have significant knowledge and experience in finance and business matters, they hold advanced degrees and are considered sophisticated investors (able to evaluate the risks and merits of the investment) or are able to bear the investment’s economic risk, which is nominal at a cost of one penny ($.01) per share. All recipients of common stock that paid nominal value for the common stock from the July 15 and August 15 Offerings had and continue to have access to all information normally provided in a prospectus through their review of previous S-1 Filings and 10 Q and 10K filings (publicly available as Registrant is an up-to-date fully reporting Company) since the Registrant received clearance of its original Registration on July 11, 2012. All are active followers of the Company and close relatives of Arthur D. Viola, Chairman. None of the recipients of any of the private placement shares received in either the July 15 or August 15, 2013 Offerings resold or distributed any of their shares to the public.
No public advertising occurred in either the July 15 or August 15, 2013 Offerings, which involved only a very small number of purchasers all close relatives and friends of the Chairman, Arthur D. Viola.

*** Incorporated by reference from the material contained in the registration statement.
Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of 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 prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of Regulation C 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 of Regulation C, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
(1) 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 of the Securities Act of 1933;
(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.
(c) 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.

Sir:
As counsel for Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), you have requested my opinion in connection with a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In my representation, I have examined such documents, corporate records, and other instruments as have been provided to me for the purposes of this opinion, including, but not limited to, the Articles of Incorporation, and all amendments thereto, and Bylaws of the Company.
Based upon and in reliance on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth below, it is my opinion that the Company is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation
under the laws of the State of Nevada, and that the Shares, when issued and sold, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
My opinion is limited by and subject to the following:
(a) In my examination of all documents, certificates and records, I have assumed without investigation the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have also assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authority of all persons executing documents on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company. As to matters of fact material to this opinion, I have relied upon statements and representations of representatives of the Company and of public officials and have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be accurate.
(b) My opinion is based solely on and limited to the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of Nevada. I express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to my firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In so doing, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
Sincerely,
James DeOlden, Esq.
