PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
AS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES, WE, US, OUR, AND GLOBAL LINES INC. REFERS TO GLOBAL LINES INC. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS NOT COMPLETE AND DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK.
GLOBAL LINES INC.
We are a development stage company which is in a limousine service. Global lines Inc. will be actively engaged in providing chauffeuring and transportation services to residents within its local Florida market. Global Lines Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on June 6, 2011. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to develop our business operations (See Description of Business and Use of Proceeds). To implement our plan of operations ($19,000) and pay ongoing legal fee associated with this offering ($8,000) we require a minimum of $27,000 for the next twelve months as described in our Plan of Operations. Being a development stage company, we have very limited operating history. Our principal executive offices are located at 16400 Collins Avenue unit 2142 Sunny Isles Beach FL 33160. Our phone number is (973) 851-6863.
From inception until the date of this filing, we have had very limited operating activities. Our financial statements from inception (June 6, 2011) through our year end August 31, 2011, reports no revenues and a net loss of $516. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit opinion for Global Lines Inc. which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We expect to sell our services average for $60 per hour. Our sole source of revenue from operating will be the selling transportation services.
Global Lines Inc. started operations in the limousine business on June 6, 2011.Global lines Inc. will be engaged in providing chauffeuring and transportation services to residents within its local Florida market. We will primarily provide transportation services such as private school student transport, sightseeing trips, and elderly transportation. We will also offer transportation to the airport and special event such as proms and weddings. We hope to serve a repeat clientele who demand--and can afford--reliable, secure service from drivers with detailed knowledge of the area.
To implement our plan of operations ($19,000) and pay ongoing legal fee associated with this offering ($8,000) we require a minimum of $27,000 for the next twelve months as described in our Plan of Operations. Our monthly burn rate is approximately $2,250. This is a simple monthly estimate of expenses which includes all the expenses described in our plan of operations. It is calculated by dividing $27,000 by 12 months. The present capital will not be sufficient to fund our operation for any period of time at this burn rate. We depend on funds from this public offering. We will utilize funds from Sergejs Belkovs, our Sole Officer and Director, who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for professional fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and operation expenses, however he has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company.
A more detailed breakdown of costs is included in our plan of operations. The month on which we will run out of funds will depend on the amount of funds we raise in this offering.
We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial operation. Since we are presently in the development stage of our business, we can provide no assurance that we will successfully sell our services.
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public trading market for our common stock and no assurance that a trading market for our securities will ever develop.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS ASSOCIATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY BUT HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED OPERATIONS IN OUR BUSINESS. WE EXPECT TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We were incorporated on June 6, 2011 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities. We have not yet commenced business operations. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new transportations companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the operations that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to operate our business, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We estimate significant losses to be up to $100,000 which is our maximum offering. Our losses could be higher after the first twelve month period. We recognize that if the effectiveness of our business plan is not forthcoming, we will not be able to continue business operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
WITHOUT THE FUNDING FROM THIS OFFERING WE WILL BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete our intended operations of operating a chauffeuring and transportation services business. We will need the funds from this offering to commence activities listed in our business plan. As of August 31, 2011, we had cash in the amount of $4,588 and liabilities of $604. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income.
WE HAVE YET TO EARN REVENUE AND OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FINANCING. AS A RESULT, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
We have accrued net losses of $516 for the period from our inception on June 6, 2011 to the year ended August 31, 2011, and have no revenues to date. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. Further, the finances required to fully develop our plan cannot be predicted with any certainty and may exceed any estimates we set forth. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Sadler, Gibb & Associates, our independent registered public accountant, has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially limit our ability to raise funds. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be able to complete our business plan. As a result we may have to liquidate our business and you may lose your investment. You should consider our independent registered public accountants comments when determining if an investment in Global Lanes Inc. is suitable.
WE MAY FACE DAMAGE TO OUR PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION IF OUR FUTURE CLIENTS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH OUR SERVICES. IN THIS CASE, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN FUTURE ENGAGEMENTS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ENGAGEMENTS, INVESTORS ARE LIKELY TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
As a transportation service firm, we depend and will continue to depend to a large extent on referrals and new engagements from our former customers as we will attempt to establish a reputation for professional service company and integrity to attract and customers. As a result, if a customer is not satisfied with our services, such lack of satisfaction may be more damaging to our business than it may be to other businesses. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that we will obtain customers in the foreseeable future.
6
IF WE DO NOT ATTRACT CUSTOMERS, WE WILL NOT MAKE A PROFIT, WHICH ULTIMATELY WILL RESULT IN A CESSATION OF OPERATIONS.
We currently have no customers to purchase ours services. We have not identified any customers and we cannot guarantee we ever will have any customers. Even if we obtain customers, there is no guarantee that we will generate a profit. If we cannot generate a profit, we will have to suspend or cease operations. You are likely to lose your entire investment if we cannot sell any of our services at prices which generate a profit.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO BUSINESS RISKS AND INCREASING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY THAT ARE LARGELY OUT OF OUR CONTROL, ANY OF WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We are subject to business risks and increasing costs associated with the transportation industry that are largely out of our control, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The factors contributing to these risks and costs include weather, excess capacity in the transportation industry, interest rates, fuel prices and taxes, fuel surcharge collection, impact on liquidity from the lag between higher payments for fuel and the collection of higher fuel surcharges in a rising fuel cost environment, terrorist attacks, insurance premiums and self-insurance levels, difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified drivers, the risk of outbreak of epidemical illnesses, the risk of widespread disruption of our technology systems, and increasing equipment and operational costs. Our results of operations may also be affected by seasonal factors.
THE LIMOUSINE INDUSTRY IS CYCLICAL AND IS SENSITIVE TO CHANGING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS; WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF AN INDUSTRY AND GENERAL ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN OR RECESSION THAT COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.
Limousine services historically have been subject to substantial cyclical variation characterized by periods of oversupply and weak demand. We believe that many factors affect the industry, including consumer confidence in the economy, the level of personal discretionary spending, interest rates, fuel prices, credit availability and unemployment rates. At this time, we cannot predict the severity or duration of the slowdown and we cannot assure that our business will not be materially adversely affected if it continues or worsens. Accordingly, you are likely to lose your entire investment if the current slump in transportation services continues.
WE OPERATE IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE WITH OUR COMPETITORS, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS AND PROSPECTS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competition includes small and midsized companies, and many of them may sell the same services at competitive prices. Highly competitive environment could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, IF WE FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION OR ARE FORCED INTO BANKRUPTCY, OR A CREDITOR OBTAINS A JUDGMENT AGAINST US AND ATTACHES THE SUBSCRIPTION.
Your funds will not be placed in an escrow or trust account. Accordingly, if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. If a creditor sues us and obtains a judgment against us, the creditor could garnish the bank account and take possession of the subscriptions. As such, it is possible that a creditor could attach your subscription which could preclude or delay the return of money to you.
7
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RECRUIT, MOTIVATE AND RETAIN QUALIFIED DRIVERS, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOWS COULD BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
The success of our business will depend upon our ability to attract and retain through independent contractor or other arrangements, qualified drivers who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the needs of our operations. We will compete in markets in which unemployment is generally relatively low and the competition for independent drivers and other employees is intense. In addition, the independent drivers we hope to utilize will be responsible for all vehicle expense including maintenance, insurance, fuel and all other operating costs. We will make every reasonable effort to include fuel cost adjustments in customer billings that are paid to independent drivers to offset the impact of fuel price increases. However, if future fuel cost adjustments are insufficient to offset independent drivers costs, we may be unable to attract a sufficient number of independent drivers.
We cannot assure that qualified drivers will be available in sufficient numbers and on terms acceptable to us. The inability to attract and retain qualified drivers, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
BECAUSE OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE OFFICER DEVOTE LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME TO THE COMPANY, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Sergejs Belkovs, our President, currently devotes approximately twenty hours per week providing management services to us. While he presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interest, it is possible that the demands on him from other obligations could increase, with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. The loss of Mr. Belkovs to our company could negatively impact our business development.
Vladislav Novichenko, our executive officer, currently devotes approximately twenty hours per week providing management services to us. While he presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interest, it is possible that the demands on him from other obligations could increase, with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. The loss of Mr. Novichenko to our company could negatively impact our business development.
OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTOR DO NOT HAVE ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE CONDUCTING A BEST-EFFORT OFFERING, OR MANAGING A PUBLIC COMPANY
Our executive officers and director do not have any experience conducting a best-effort offering or managing a public company. Consequently, we may not be able to raise any funds or run our public company successfully. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations as planned, and our business will suffer and your investment may be materially adversely affected. Also, our executives officers and directors lack of experience of managing a public company could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
THERE IS NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES THAT HAS TO BE SOLD IN ORDER FOR THE OFFERING TO PROCEED
We do not have a minimum amount of funding set in order to proceed with the offering. If not enough money is raised to begin operations, you might lose your entire investment because we may not have enough funds to implement our business plan.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING
THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A PENNY STOCK.
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $6,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
WE ARE SELLING THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL ANY SHARES.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares through our President, who will receive no commissions. He will offer the shares to friends, family members, and business associates, however, there is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless he is successful in selling all of the shares and we receive the proceeds from this offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan.
DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
We are not registered on any market or public stock exchange. There is presently no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the completion of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 to 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been no discussions or understandings between Global Lines Inc. and anyone acting on our behalf, with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.
8
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE. WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
Our business plan allows for the payment of the estimated $8,000 cost of this registration statement to be paid from existing cash on hand. If necessary, Sergejs Belkovs, our Chairman, has verbally agreed to loan the company funds to complete the registration process. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the close of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend, and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us as described in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The offering price per share is $0.01. The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, respectively, of the securities offered for sale by the Company. There is no assurance that we will raise the full $100,000 as anticipated.

We intend to purchase cars utilizing proceed from this offering and funds from Sergejs Belkovs if necessary. We do not plan to lease our cars. We plan to hire independent drivers on on-call basis who will be compensated solely by commission payments from their jobs. The payment to the drivers will come from sales to our customers. Proceeds of this offering will not be used to pay our drivers. We may also hire independent drivers who own their own cars. The commission payment to such drivers will be higher than to the drivers that use our cars.
Miscellaneous expenses include: car wash, licensing and permitting expenses, and any unexpected expenses.
We owe an obligation of $8,000 for purchase of our first vehicle. Our director has agreed informally to advance us funds to pay for this obligation. This loan will be non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.
The above figures represent only estimated cost. If necessary, Sergejs Belkovs, our president, has verbally agreed to loan the company funds to complete the registration process and to implement our complete business plan.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plan. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
DILUTION
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 price of the current offering is fixed at $0.01 per common share. This price is significantly higher than the price paid by our director and officers for common equity since the Companys inception on June 6, 2011. There are 5,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Sergejs Belkovs, our director and president, paid $.001 per share for the 4,500,000 common shares. Vladislav Novichenko, our secretary, paid $.001 per share for 500,000 common shares.
Assuming completion of the offering, there will be up to 15,000,000 common shares outstanding. The following table illustrates the per common share dilution that may be experienced by investors at various funding levels.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Our cash balance is $4,588 as of August 31, 2011. We believe our cash balance is not sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations for any period of time. We have been utilizing and may utilize funds from Sergejs Belkovs, our President, who has informally agreed to advance funds to us. Mr. Sergejs Belkovs, however, has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. In order to achieve our business plan goals, we will need the funding from this offering. We are a development stage company and have generated no revenue to date.
Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we complete our initial business development. There is no assurance we will ever reach that stage.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to expand operations but we cannot guarantee that once we expand operations we will stay in business after doing so. If we are unable to successfully find customers we may quickly use up the proceeds from this offering and will need to find alternative sources. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
10
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our sales and marketing strategy is to move as quickly as possible into the three designated market segments (Sight-seeing, Private School Transportation, and Elderly Transport).
The marketing thrust will consist of direct contact to the responsible person at selected private schools, the creation and distribution of color brochures to Inns, Bed and Breakfasts, Assisted Living and Retirement Communities, and direct mailing to new high worth individuals using the resources of a list company.
Our sources of cash will be mainly the proceeds from this offering and also the proceeds from our revenues, and loans from our directors. We expect to start generating revenue by selling our services by 3rd month of our Plan of Operations, after we set up our office.
We will not be conducting any product research or development. We do not expect to purchase or sell plant or significant equipment. Further we do not expect significant changes in the number of employees. Upon completion of our public offering, our specific goal is to profitably sell ours services. Our plan of operations is as follows:
SET UP OFFICE AND START ADVERTISING SIGHTSEEING TOURS
Timeframe 1st -2nd month Estimated Cost: $1400
1) Establish our working place and office. Computer (laptop) $500, office table and chairs $500.
2) Purchase membership from a local car wash for unlimited car washes.
3) Begin advertising limo sightseeing tours by printing advertising materials such as brochure explaining ours services and placing them in local hotels.
4) Launch our referral program with hotel concierges and front desk personal. They will earn 10% referral fee from referred transactions. This referral strategy will also be directed towards wedding and event planners with view to sell transportation services for these events. Printing of brochures: $300
DEVELOP OUR WEBSITE AND DISTRIBUTE PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS
Timeframe 3rd -4th month Estimated Cost: $950
1) Hire an independent contractor to develop our website. Our website will be used to list our services and our contact information. Cost of web site developing $500. Twelve month hosting with registration of our domain costs $150(www. hostgator.com).
2) We will start advertising in private schools by sending a cover letter and color brochure. Printing of brochures for private schools: $300
START ADVERTISING ELDERLY TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS
Timeframe - 5th-6th month Estimated Cost: $300
1) Start advertising Elderly Transportation services.
2) Print and distribute advertising brochure in senior communities, homes, and medical care centers. Printing of brochure: $300
ONLINE MARKETING
Timeframe 7th -8th months Estimated Cost: $3,000 (500 monthly)
1) Begin blogging, e-newsletters, social networking, searching engine optimizer (SEO).
2) Advertise our services at limousine guide websites.
3) Hire an independent contractor for online marketing ($500 monthly).
BUYING MORE CARS. HIRING DRIVERS
Time frame 9th -12th month Minimum Estimated Cost: $12,000
1) Purchase additional cars for our operations. The number of new cars will depend on the amount of revenue that we have available. We will purchase 2007-2009 Lincoln Town Cars and 2007-2009 Toyota Highlander (cost per car is $12,000)
2) We plan to hire independent drivers on on-call basis who will be compensated solely by commission payments from their jobs. The payment to the drivers will come from sales to our customers. We may also hire independent drivers who own their own cars. The commission payment to such drivers will be higher than to the drivers that use our cars.
Total: $19000.
To implement our plan of operations ($19,000) and pay ongoing legal fee associated with this offering ($8,000) we require a minimum of $27,000 for the next twelve months as described in our Plan of Operations. After twelve months period we may need additional financing. We do not currently have any arrangements for additional financing.
We plan on purchasing one car by February 2012 (We have already paid $4,000 deposit for this car). Our director has informally agreed to advance us funds to complete the purchase of this car (approximately $8,000). According to our plan of operations, we plan on purchasing a minimum of additional one car after 9th month following the completion of our public offering. If we raise over $27,000 or if we generate revenue, we will be able to purchase more cars.
11
Until we start to sell our services, we do not believe that our operations will be profitable. If we are unable to attract customers to buy our product we may have to suspend or cease operations. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else.
Sergejs Belkovs, our president will be devoting approximately 50% of his time to our operations. Once we expand operations, and are able to attract more and more customers to buy our product, Mr. Sergejs Belkovs has agreed to commit more time as required. Because Mr.Belkovs will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to him. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a cessation of operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Results of operations
From Inception on June 6, 2011 to August 31, 2011
During the period we incorporated the company, prepared a business plan and executed an Agreement with Super Limousines. Super limousines agrees to provide work to Global Lines Inc. collect payment from customer and provide payment to the Global Lines Inc. Super limousine fee shall be calculated as ten per cent (10%) of the net value of transportation services performed by Global Lines Inc. The agreement with Super limousine will help us kick-start our transportation business and allow us to obtain new clients to gradually build our own customer base.
Our loss since inception is $516 for filing costs related to the incorporation of the Company and cost of Nevada business license.
Since inception, we have sold a total of 4,500,000 shares of common stock to our officers and director for net proceeds of $4,500.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of August 31, 2011 the Company had $4,588 cash and our liabilities were $604, comprising $604 owed to Sergejs Belkovs, our president. Since inception through September 12, 2011, we have sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Mr. Belkovs our president has paid a price of $0.001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $4,500.
Mr. Novichenko, our secretary has paid a price of $0.001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $500.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell all the shares required. If we are successful, any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. We will attempt to raise the necessary funds to proceed with all phases of our plan of operation. Minimum amount of this offering will likely allow us to operate for at least one year.
As of the date of this registration statement, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. The companys director, Sergejs Belkovs, has indicated that he may be willing to provide funds required to maintain the reporting status in the form of a non-secured loan for the next twelve months as the expenses are incurred if no other proceeds are obtained by the Company. However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing this agreement. Management believes if the company cannot maintain its reporting status with the SEC it will have to cease all efforts directed towards the company. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.
12
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us to operate for at least one year and have the capital resources required to cover the material costs with becoming a publicly reporting. The company anticipates over the next 12 months the cost of being a reporting public company will be approximately $8,000.
Management believes that current trends toward lower capital investment in start-up companies, volatility in the transportation sales market pose the most significant challenges to the Companys success over the next year and in future years. Additionally, the Company will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. The Companys management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement is business plan and impede the speed of its operations.
Should the Company fail to sell less than all its shares under this offering the Company would be forced to scale back or abort completely the implementation of its 12-month plan of operations.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2011. We are involved the chauffeured transportation business. Global lines Inc. will be providing chauffeuring and transportation services to residents within its local market. We will primarily provide transportation services such as private school student transport, sightseeing trips, and elderly transportation. We will also offer transportation to the airport and special event such as proms and weddings. We plan to serve a repeat clientele who demand--and can afford--reliable, secure service from drivers with detailed knowledge of the area. We have not generated any revenues to date. We have executed an agreement with Super Limousines, developed our business plan and paid deposit of $4,000 on one car to be used for Limosine Service. Our principal office address is located at 16400 Collins Avenue unit 2142Sunny Isles Beach FL 33160. Our telephone number is 954-88-97573. Our plan of operation is forward-looking and there is no assurance that we will ever reach profitable operations. We are a development stage company and have not earned any revenue. It is likely that we will not be able to achieve profitability and will have to cease operations due to the lack of funding.
LIMOUSINE SERVICE
The customer needs in the limousine transportation market are quite diverse. Corporate and airport transfer clients are mostly interested in reliable and fast service. For these clients, limousine services save time and add convenience compared to using public transportation or personal vehicles. Prom and bachelor party clients are more interested in the social status associated with the limousine service; however, this segment is less loyal and shops around for the best value. At the same time, wedding and funeral transportation clients, who also seek the emotional benefits of using a limousine service, may be less price sensitive than other segments. Further, the sightseeing segment, which is currently underserved, does not only need spacious and comfortable accommodation during the trip, but also benefits from a driver who is very familiar with the area and who can serve as a guide as well.
Global Lines Inc. will concentrate in the areas of private school student transport, sightseeing trips, and elderly transportation. We believe that these markets have higher margins and are less price sensitive. According to www.localschooldirectory.com, Ft Lauderdale has 33 private schools with 32000 students. According to www.broward.org, Ft Lauderdale airport traffic (December-June 2010) is 10,367,009 passengerspotential clients for the sightseeing service. There are 150 assisted living facilities in the areapotential clients for elderly transportation service.

MARKETING
The sales and marketing strategy is to focus in following market areas: (Sight-seeing: creation and Private School Transportation, and Elderly Transport). We will use the following marketing strategies to build the base of our clientele:
1. keeping information brochures in the vehicle for clients to read and keepto help increase chances of their return
2. brochures distributions to private schools, hotels, assisted living and retirement centers; offering special incentive and discounts such as a free hour of limo service with a purchase of 5 or more hours.
3. friendly and helpful customer service to increase the chance of repeat clientele.
4. creating a mailing list of previous clients.
AGREEMENT
We have executed an agreement with Super Limousines under which, Super Limousines agrees to provide work to Global Lines Inc., collect payment from customers and provide payment to Global Lines Inc. for performed services The consideration fee shall be calculated as ten per cent (10%) of the net value of transportation services sold by the Super limousines to customer and performed by Global Lines Inc. Either party may terminate this agreement at any time by giving the other party ten (10) days prior written notice.
PRICING
Average hourly cost to hire Limousine in South Florida is $60 (July 2011). We plan to price our service approximately at the same rate.
COMPETITION
The completion in our industry is extremely high including shuttle service, taxis and other limousine service. The following companies are an example of some of our competitors in South Florida: Go Airport Shuttle & Executive Car Service, and USA Transportation. Most of our competitors have greater financial resources and may be able to withstand sales or price decreases better than we can. We also expect to continue to face competition from new market entrants. We may be unable to continue to compete effectively with these existing or new competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
EMPLOYEES; IDENTIFICATION OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES.
We are a development stage company and currently have no employees.

Our business office is located at 16400 Collins Avenue unit 2142 Sunny Isles Beach FL 33160. This is the office provided by our secretary Vladislav Novichenko. Our telephone number is 954-889-7573. We do not pay any rent to Mr. Novichenko and there is no agreement to pay any rent in the future. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not sought or selected a new office sight.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has safety regulatory oversight of for-hire operators of small passenger-carrying vehicles that engage in interstate commerce. Motor carriers are subject to regulatory oversight when their vehicles are used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers if the vehicle is designed or used to transport 9 to 15 passengers (including the driver) for compensation.
We do not believe these federal regulations will impact us since we do not plan to transport more than 9 passengers at one time. When and if we decide to operate vehicles with more than 9 passengers we will have to comply with these regulations.
Our cars have also go through an annual State inspection in order to obtain an operating permit. Our drivers must obtain a Chauffeur Registration from the County License Division which includes passing Driving and Criminal Background Investigation.
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or potential legal actions.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of November 30, 2011 there were 5,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that was held by two registered stockholder of record and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
COMMON STOCK
The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions associated with our common stock.
The holders of our common stock currently have (i) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; and (iii) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stock holders may vote. Please refer to the Companys Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of the Companys securities.
ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW
Nevada revised statutes sections 78.378 to 78.3793 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the state of Nevada; and does business in the state of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute does not apply to our company.
19
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify an officer, director, or former officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by one of our director, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the courts decision.

SADLER, GIBB & ASSOCIATES, LLC
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Global Lines, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Global Lines, Inc. as of August 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the period from inception on June 6, 2011 through August 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Lines, Inc. as of August 31, 2011, and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from inception on June 6, 2011 through August 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had accumulated losses of $516 as of August 31, 2011, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLOBAL LINES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2011
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Global Lines, Inc. (the "Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 6, 2011. The Company plans to be actively engaged in providing chauffeuring and transportation services to residents within its local Florida market.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP accounting). The Company has adopted an August 31 fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $4,588 of cash as of August 31, 2011.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and amounts due to shareholder. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

GLOBAL LINES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2011
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740-10-05, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions on returns that have been filed or that will be filed. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties for unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended August 31, 2011 nor were any interest or penalties accrued as of August 31, 2011.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of August 31, 2011.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Companys management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2011
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception. During the period ended August 31, 2011, the Company realized a net loss and incurred an accumulated deficit of $516. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Various expenses of the Company as well as loans for operating purposes have been paid for or made by officers of the Company. Loans payable related parties total $604 as of August 31, 2011, bear no interest, are unsecured, and are due upon demand.
Effective June 6, 2011, office space is provided by the Companys sole officer and director. No rent is charged for the use of the space.
NOTE 4 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Authorized Shares
The Company has 75,000,000, $0.001 par value shares of common stock authorized.
Issuances of Common Stock
On August 29, 2011, the Company issued 4,500,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $4,500 at $0.001 per share.

NOTE 6 INCOME TAXES
The Companys provision for income taxes was $-0- for the period ended August 31, 2011 since the Company incurred taxable losses and deferred tax assets recognized are offset by a full valuation allowance in each fiscal year.
ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Companys opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is calculated by multiplying a 39% marginal tax rate by the cumulative Net Operating Loss (NOL).
At August 31, 2011, the Company has available $516 of NOLs which expire in various years beginning in 2027 and carrying forward through 2031.
The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred taxes as of August 31, 2011 were as follows:

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:
| August 31, 2011 | |
Income tax benefit at U. S. federal statutory rates: | $ | (175) |
Change in valuation allowance |

The Company files federal and Nevada income tax returns subject to statutes of limitations. The period ended August 31, 2011 is subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 9, 2011, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $500 at $0.001 per share.
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to August 31, 2011, the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(a) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement.
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities being registered hereby that remains unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. For determining liability of the undersigned Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, 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:
(a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(b) 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;

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to our director, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our director, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our director, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
For the purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act for any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
