**FORWARD-LOOKING

Certain
      statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are “forward-looking
      statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
      of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations.
      Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
      that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of Black Nickel
      Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) to be materially different from any future
      results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
      forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein
      are
      based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.
      The
      Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving
      the
      continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve
      judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive
      and
      market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult
      or
      impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of
      the
      Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the
      forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove
      inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking
      statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the
      significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
      herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
      representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans
      of the Company will be achieved.
















**PART
      I**





**Item
      1. Business.**







**Introduction**




Black
      Nickel Acquisition Corp. III (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or the
“Registrant”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 26, 2005 and
      maintains principal offices at 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Suite 260, Roswell,
      Georgia 30076. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational
      efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle
      to
      pursue a business combination and since the effectiveness of its registration
      statement on Form 10-SB has begun efforts in consummating a business
      combination.





The
      Company, based on proposed business activities, is a "blank check" company.
      The
      Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as "any
      development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning
      of
      Section 3 (a)(51) of the Exchange Act, and that has no specific business plan
      or
      purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an
      unidentified company or companies." Many states have enacted statutes, rules
      and
      regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their
      respective jurisdictions. The Company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), also is a
“shell company,” defined as a company with no or nominal assets (other than
      cash) and no or nominal operations. Management does not intend to undertake
      any
      efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity,
      until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends
      to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for
      so
      long as we are subject to those requirements.





The
      Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation
      warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages
      of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective
      for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth
      potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate,
      short-term earnings.





**Competition**





Currently,
      with our primary goal the acquisition of a target company or business seeking
      the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation, the Company
      faces
      vast competition from other shell companies with the same objectives. The
      Company is in a highly competitive market for a small number of business
      opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful
      business combination. A large number of established and well-financed entities,
      including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in
      mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates
      for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial
      resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do;
      consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible
      business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination.
      These
      competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and
      consummating a successful business combination.








1





**Employees**





The
      Company currently has no employees.





**RISK
      FACTORS**





An
      investment in our securities is highly speculative and subject to numerous
      and
      substantial risks. These risks include those set forth below and elsewhere
      in
      this Form 10-KSB. Readers are encouraged to review these risks carefully before
      making any investment decision.





**There
      may be conflicts of interest between our management and our non-management
      stockholders.**





Conflicts
      of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act
      adversely to the interests of other investors. A conflict of interest may arise
      between our management's personal pecuniary interest and its fiduciary duty
      to
      our stockholders. Further, our management's own pecuniary interest may at some
      point compromise its fiduciary duty to our stockholders. In addition, our
      officers and directors are currently involved with other blank check companies
      and conflicts in the pursuit of business combinations with such other blank
      check companies with which they and other members of our management are, and
      may
      be the future be, affiliated with may arise. If we and the other blank check
      companies that our officers and directors are affiliated with desire to take
      advantage of the same opportunity, then those officers and directors that are
      affiliated with both companies would abstain from voting upon the opportunity.





Further,
      HPC Capital Management Corp. (“HPC”), a registered broker-dealer, may act as
      investment banker, placement agent or financial consultant to the Company or
      an
      acquisition candidate in connection with a potential business combination
      transaction. Paul Mannion and Andrew Reckles, our officers and directors, are
      currently a Managing Director and Registered Person, respectively, of HPC.
      We
      cannot assure you that conflicts of interest among us, HPC and our stockholders
      will not develop.





**Our
      business is difficult to evaluate because we have no operating
      history.**





As
      the
      Company has no operating history or revenue and only minimal assets, there
      is a
      risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and consummate a
      business combination. The Company has had no recent operating history nor any
      revenues or earnings from operations since inception. We have no significant
      assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating
      expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of
      a
      business combination. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss
      that
      will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with
      a
      profitable business opportunity. We cannot assure you that we can identify
      a
      suitable business opportunity and consummate a business
      combination.





**There
      is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger transaction
      of
      the type contemplated by management.**





We
      are in
      a
      highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which
      could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination.
      We will be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers
      with,
      joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities.
      A
      large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public
      companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions
      of
      companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these
      entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise
      and
      managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive
      disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully
      completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the
      likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business
      combination.





2


**Future
      success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract
      a
      suitable acquisition.**





The
      nature of our operations is highly speculative and there is a consequent risk
      of
      loss of your investment. The success of our plan of operation will depend to
      a
      great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of an
      identified business opportunity. W e
      cannot
      assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates with established
      operating histories. In the event we complete a business combination with a
      privately held company, the success of our operations may be dependent upon
      management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other
      factors beyond our control.





**Management
      intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company
      which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition
      candidate and consummate a business combination.**




While
      seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting no more than
      a
      few hours per week to the Company's affairs. Our officers have not entered
      into
      written employment agreements with us and are not expected to do so in the
      foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability
      to
      identify and consummate a successful business combination.





**The
      time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting
      company may preclude us from entering into and consummating a merger or
      acquisition with the most attractive private companies.**





Target
      companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or
      preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require
      reporting companies to provide certain information about significant
      acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired,
      covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the
      acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target
      entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially
      preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition
      prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited
      statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting
      requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.





**The
      Company may be subject to further government regulation which would adversely
      affect our operations.**





Although
      we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act,
      management believes we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment
      Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will
      not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we
      engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment
      interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under
      the
      Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register as an investment
      company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance
      costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange
      Commission as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently,
      violation of the Investment Company Act could subject us to material adverse
      consequences.





3


**Any
      potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to
      additional risks.**





If
      we enter
      into a business combination with a foreign concern, we will be subject to risks
      inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks
      include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive
      tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment
      of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and
      language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably
      from
      the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of
      inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource
      self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other
      respects.





**There
      is currently no trading market for our common stock.**





Outstanding
      shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise
      transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from
      registration under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
      Act”) and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.
      These restrictions will limit the ability of our stockholders to liquidate
      their
      investment. Further, shares of our common stock cannot be sold under the
      exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144 under or Section 4(1) of
      the
      Securities Act, in
      accordance with the letter from Richard K. Wulff, Chief
      of
      the Office of Small Business Policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
      Division of Corporation Finance ,
      to Ken
      Worm of NASD Regulation, Inc., dated January 21, 2000.





**Our
      business will have no revenues unless and until we merge with or acquire an
      operating business.**





We
      are a
      development stage company and have had no revenues from operations. We may
      not
      realize any revenues unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire
      an
      operating business.





**The
      Company intends to issue more shares in a merger or acquisition, which will
      result in substantial dilution.**





Our
      certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of
      75,000,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of
      preferred stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the
      issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result
      in
      substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then
      existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger
      or
      acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis
      by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of
      common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board
      of
      Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued
      shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of
      common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business
      combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will
      occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially
      adversely affected.





4


**Our
      stockholders may engage in a transaction to cause the Company to repurchase
      their shares of common stock.**





In
      order to
      provide an interest in the Company to a third party, our stockholders may choose
      to cause the Company to sell Company securities to third parties, with the
      proceeds of such sale being utilized by the Company to repurchase shares of
      common stock held by the stockholders. As a result of such transaction, our
      management, principal stockholders and Board of Directors may change.





**The
      Company has conducted no market research or identification of business
      opportunities, which may affect our ability to identify a business to merge
      with
      or acquire.**





The
      Company
      has neither conducted nor have others made available to us results of market
      research concerning prospective business opportunities. Therefore, we have
      no
      assurances that market demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated
      by us. It may be expected that any such target business or transaction will
      present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings
      of
      securities or conventional bank financing will not be available. There is no
      assurance that we will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms
      favorable to us. Decisions as to
      which
      business opportunity to participate in will be unilaterally made by our
      management, which may act without the consent, vote or approval of our
      stockholders.





**Because
      we may seek to complete a business combination through a “reverse merger”,
      following such a transaction we may not be able to attract the attention of
      major brokerage firms.**




Additional
      risks may exist since we will assist a privately held business to become public
      through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not
      provide coverage of our Company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms
      to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that
      brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our
      post-merger company in the future.





**We
      cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating
      business, our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities
      exchange.**





Following
      a
      business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ
      or
      the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such
      a
      transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either
      of
      those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing
      of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange. After
      completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the
      NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be
      eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation
      system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more
      difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market
      value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule
      that,
      if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various
      practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the
      rule
      to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
      Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling
      our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make
      it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business
      combination.





5


**There
      is no public market for our common stock, nor have we ever paid dividends on
      our
      common stock.**





There
      is
      no public trading market for our common stock and none is expected to develop
      in
      the foreseeable future unless and until the Company completes a business
      combination with an operating business and such business files a registration
      statement under the Securities Act. Additionally, we have never paid dividends
      on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the
      foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of
      dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further its business strategy.





**Authorization
      of Preferred Stock.**





Our
      Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares
      of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from
      time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors
      is
      empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,
      liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect
      the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the
      event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain
      circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change
      in
      control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any
      shares of its authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the
      Company will not do so in the future.





**Control
      by Management.**





Management
      currently owns approximately 67% of all the issued and outstanding capital
      stock
      of the Company. Consequently, management controls the operations of the Company
      and, acting together, will
      have
      the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders
      for
      approval, including:





·
            Election
                of the board of directors;





·
            Removal
                of any directors;





·
            Amendment
                of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws;
                and





·
            Adoption
                of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control orimpede
                a merger, takeover or other business
                combination.





These
      stockholders will thus have substantial influence over our management and
      affairs and
      other
      stockholders of the Company possess no practical ability to remove management
      or
      effect the operations of the business of the Company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect
      of
      impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation,
      or
      discouraging a potential acquiror from making a tender offer for the common
      stock.

**Item
      2. Property.**





The

The
      Company is authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue an aggregate

All

      Worm of NASD Regulation, Inc., dated January 21, 2000.





**Item
      6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
      Operation.**




**Plan
      of Operation**





The
      Company has not realized any revenues from operations since inception, and
      its
      plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to locate suitable
      acquisition or merger candidates. The Company may need additional cash advances
      from stockholders to pay for operating expenses until the Company consummates
      the merger with a privately-held company. Although it is currently anticipated
      that the Company can satisfy its cash requirements with additional cash
      advances, if needed, for at least the next twelve months, the Company can
      provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements
      for
      such period.





**Results
      of Operations**





The
      Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for
      its
      efforts to locate suitable acquisition or merger transactions. No revenue has
      been generated by the Company during such period, and it is unlikely the Company
      will have any revenues unless it is able to consummate or effect an acquisition
      of, or merger with, an operating company, of which there can be no
      assurance.

Black
      Nickel Acquisition Corp. III


A
      Development Stage Company








We
      have
      audited the accompanying balance sheet of Black
      Nickel Acquisition Corp. III, a development stage company, as of December
      31, 2005 and the
      related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash
      flows for the period May 26, 2005 (inception) through December 31, 2005. These
      financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
      responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
      on
      our audit.




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. 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 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 Black Nickel Acquisition Corp.
      III, a development stage company, as of December
      31, 2005  and
      the
      results of its operations and its cash flows for the period May 26, 2005
      (inception) through December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles
      generally accepted in the United States of America.

              -
            Organization,
                Business, and Operations





Black
      Nickel Acquisition Corp. III, (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware
      on May 26, 2005, with the objective of acquiring or merging with an operating
      business.





The
      Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation
      warrants, acquire a target entity or business seeking the perceived advantages
      of being a publicly held corporation and, to a lesser extent, that desires
      to
      employ the Company’s funds in its business.








2
              -
            Summary
                of Significant Accounting Policies





The
      accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States. Significant accounting
      policies follow:





a.
            **Use
                of Estimates -**The
                preparation of the statement of financial condition in conformity
                with
                accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
                management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
                of
                assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
                at the date of the statement of financial condition and reported
                amounts
                of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
                could
                differ from those estimates.





b.
            **Cash
                and Cash Equivalents**-
                For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
                highly
                liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months
                or
                less to be cash equivalents.





c.
            **Income
                Taxes**-
                The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income
                taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and
                liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial
                reporting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are
                measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
                when the
                differences are expected to reverse.  An allowance against deferred
                tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such
                tax
                benefits will not be realized.





d.
            **Loss
                per Common Share**-
                Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number
                of
                common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss
                per
                share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding
                options
                and warrants, using various methods such as the*treasury
                stock*or*modified
                treasury stock*method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during
                each
                reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive
                instruments.





e.
            **Fair
                Value of Financial Instruments**-
                The carrying value of cash equivalents and accrued expenses approximates
                fair value due to the short term
                nature.

The
      Company
      has approximately $7,000 in gross deferred tax assets at December 31, 2005,
      resulting from net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance has
      been
      recorded to fully offset these deferred tax assets because the future
      realization of the related income tax benefits is uncertain. At December
      31, 2005, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of
      approximately $18,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2025.

      8A. Controls and Procedures.**





The
      Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
      disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
      under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required
      to
      be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits
      under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
      the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure
      controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
      designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in
      the
      reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
      communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive
      officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons
      performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
      required disclosure.





In
      accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was
      completed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s
      management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal
      financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
      Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered
      by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Principal
      Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
      disclosure controls and procedures are effective, to provide reasonable
      assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports
      filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,
      and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
      forms. There have been no changes to the Company’s internal controls over
      financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter of the year
      ended December 31, 2005, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely
      to
      materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

**COMPLIANCE
      WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934**




Section 16(a)
      of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons
      who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity
      securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial
      ownership of the Company’s securities with the SEC of forms 3, 4 and 5.
      Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC
      regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
      they file.






Based
      solely on the Company’s review of the copies of the forms received by it during
      the period from May 26, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and written
      representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that
      no person who, at any time during such fiscal year, was a director, officer
