INFORMATION STATEMENT
We Are Not Asking You for a Proxy and
You are Requested Not To Send Us a Proxy
INTRODUCTION
We are disseminating this Information Statement to notify you that Brad Houtkin and Sherry Houtkin (the Voting Stockholders), being the owners of approximately 92.5% of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock, delivered written consent to the Company on December __, 2011 to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized capital stock from 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, to 101,000,000 shares of capital stock, $.001 par value, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value (the Authorized Capital Stock Change). The authorized but unissued 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock would be available for issuance from time to time for such purposes and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate without further action by the stockholders, except for those instances in which applicable law or stock exchange rules require stockholder approval. The shares of authorized Preferred Stock, when issued, would have the rights and privileges as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time as set forth in one or more certificates of designation for each series of preferred stock. Such rights and privileges may include voting and conversion rights, liquidation or dividend preferences or other rights.
Vote Required
We are not seeking consent, authorizations, or proxies from you. The vote required to approve the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the Authorized Capital Stock Change as described in this Information Statement was the affirmative written consent of the holders of a majority of the Companys outstanding common stock.
On December 7, 2011 (the Record Date), there were 7,350,540 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $.001 per share, issued and outstanding. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote. No other classes of capital stock of the Company are issued and outstanding.
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) permits the holders of a corporations outstanding stock representing a majority of that corporations voting power to approve and authorize corporate actions by written consent as if such actions were undertaken at a duly called and held meeting of stockholders. In order to significantly reduce the costs and management time involved in soliciting and obtaining proxies to approve the Authorized Capital Stock Change, and in order to effectuate the Authorized Capital Stock Change as quickly as possible, the Board elected to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company. The Company obtained the written consent of its majority stockholders, which as of the Record Date owned approximately 92.5% of the Companys voting stock. The written consent satisfies the stockholder approval requirement for the Authorized Capital Stock Change. Accordingly, under the DGCL no other Board or stockholder approval is required in order to effectuate the Authorized Capital Stock Change.
Effective Date
The Authorized Capital Stock Change was approved by the Board by written consent on December __, 2011. Immediately thereafter, the Authorized Capital Stock Change was approved by the Voting Stockholders, which hold more than a majority of the voting power of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock.
This Information Statement is being made available on or about December 12, 2011 to the Companys stockholders of record as of the Record Date. The Authorized Capital Stock Change will be effective when an amendment to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Company will not make any filing until on or after January 4, 2012, a date that is more than 20 calendar days after this Information Statement is first sent to our stockholders.
Because the Authorized Capital Stock Change requires an amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation, the effective date will be when such amendment is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (which date may occur later due to administrative issues with respect to the filing requirements or at a time in the discretion of the Board). The time at which the amendment to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation approved by the stockholders is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State remains in the discretion the Board.
The expenses of distributing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company, including expenses in connection with the preparation and mailing of this Information Statement and all documents that now accompany or may in the future supplement it. The Company contemplates that brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries will forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Companys common stock held of record by these persons, and the Company will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses incurred in this process.
Dissenters Rights of Appraisal
Under the DGCL, the Companys stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Authorized Capital Stock Change.
Proposals by Security Holders
No stockholder has requested that we include any additional proposals in this Information Statement.

Interested Party Disclosure
The Company does not believe that any of its officers, directors or significant stockholders has a substantial direct or indirect interest in the Authorized Capital Stock Change, other than as stockholders of the Company.
DESCRIPTION OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION
The action taken by the Board of Directors and by the Voting Stockholders on December __, 2011was to approve an amendment to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized capital stock from 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, to 101,000,000 shares of capital stock, $.001 par value, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value. The text of the amendment to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation approved by our Board and the Voting Stockholders is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A.
The authorized but unissued additional 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock resulting from the amendment to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation would be available for issuance from time to time for such purposes and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate without further action by the stockholders, except for those instances in which applicable law or stock exchange rules require stockholder approval. The additional 90,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock, when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently issued and outstanding. The stockholders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. All voting is on a non-cumulative basis. The stockholders of common stock do not have any preemptive rights, conversion rights, or applicable redemption or sinking fund provisions. The amendment to authorize the additional 90,000,000 shares of common stock will not have any effect on the par value of our common stock. Nevertheless, the issuance of such additional 90,000,000 authorized shares of common stock would affect the voting rights of our current stockholders because there would be an increase in the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote on corporate matters, including the election of directors, if and when any such shares of common stock are issued in the future.
The newly authorized but unissued 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock would be available for issuance from time to time for such purposes and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate without further action by the stockholders, except for those instances in which applicable law or stock exchange rules require stockholder approval. The 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, when issued, would have the rights and privileges as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time as set forth in one or more certificates of designation for each series of preferred stock. Such rights and privileges may include voting and conversion rights, liquidation or dividend preferences or other rights. The issuance of such authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, if convertible into shares of our common stock, would affect the voting rights of our current stockholders because there would be an increase in the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote on corporate matters, including the election of directors, if and when any such shares of common stock are issued in the future.
As of the Record Date, the Company had 7,350,540 common shares issued and outstanding. The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and the newly authorized shares of Preferred Stock would give the Company the necessary shares of capital stock to use in connection with future capital raise transactions, acquisitions, mergers, employee benefit plans and other valid corporate purposes. The Company currently has no specific capital raise transactions, acquisition, mergers or other purposes to use the additional shares of Common Stock or newly authorized Preferred Stock. We can provide no assurances that any capital raise transactions or acquisition or merger will be entered into by the Company in the future on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. No further action nor authorization by the Companys stockholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of the Companys capital stock, except as may be required for a particular transaction by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, by applicable law or regulatory agencies or by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's Common Stock may then be listed. Adoption of the Amendment will eliminate the delay and expense involved in calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize the capital stock.
Stockholders of the Company do not have any preemptive rights with respect to any of the presently authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company.
The authority of the Board to issue additional Common Stock and Preferred Stock might be considered as having the effect of discouraging an attempt by another person or entity to affect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the Company, since the issuance of capital stock would dilute the voting power of the Common Stock then outstanding. Such shares could also be sold in public or private transactions to purchasers who might assist the Board of Directors in opposing a takeover bid which the Board determines not to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the authority of the Board to issue Common Stock or Preferred Stock could be used in a manner calculated to prevent the removal of management, and make more difficult or discourage a change in control of the Company.
The Company is not aware of any efforts to accumulate the Company's securities and to obtain control of the Company and has no present intention or agreement requiring the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The Company has no present intention of soliciting a stockholder vote on any proposal, or series of proposals, to deter takeovers.
No dissenting stockholder will have a right of appraisal or right to receive payment for his stock by reason of such dissent.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Company is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and in accordance with the Exchange Act, the Company files periodic reports, documents and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) relating to its business, financial statements and other matters, including the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011, and any reports prior to or subsequent to that date.
These reports and other information filed with the SEC by the Company may be inspected and are available for copying at the public reference facilities maintained at the SEC at 100 F Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20549.
The Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are also available to the public from the SECs website, http://www.sec.gov.

Delivery of Documents to Security Holders Sharing an Address
We will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as householding, is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to the Company to: President, Arbor Entech Corporation, 2295 NW Corporate Blvd., Suite 230, Boca Raton, FL 33431, or (b) by telephoning us at (561) 245-8347.
If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may send notification to or call the Companys principal executive offices as set forth above. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Companys principal executive offices as set forth above.
STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by shareholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. Absent unusual circumstances and subject to any required assistance or advice from legal counsel, our Corporate President, Brad Houtkin, is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries of such communications to the other directors as he considers appropriate.
Communications will be forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments considered to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we may receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board for its consideration should address such communications to c/o of Corporate President, Brad Houtkin, Arbor Entech Corporation, 2295 NW Corporate Blvd., Suite 230, Boca Raton, FL 33431.
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
