SUMMARY OF OUR OFFERING
This summary provides an overview of selected information contained in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information you should consider before making a decision to purchase the shares we are offering. You should very carefully and thoroughly read the more detailed information in this prospectus, and particularly the Risk Factors section, review our financial statements and review all other information that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Corporate Background
We were incorporated on July 3, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada and have never commenced operations, nor have we generated any revenue and are still a development stage corporation. We have no current business. We are a development stage company, with no assets, revenue, experience in the proposed line of business, or capital, and a deficit of$1,973 since our inception. Our plan of operations is to produce an album featuring the tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran.
We intend to produce an album featuring the accomplished Tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran. The album will consist of 12 pieces, including several opera arias, Neapolitan folk songs and one to two original selections. It is proposed that the album will be recorded in London, England using one of the most skilled and prominent recording orchestras in the world, The London Symphony. Once the album is released, we will retain an international distributor to handle shipping while either an interested record label or an independent promotions team will be responsible for all the marketing. Promotion will mainly be supported by radio, television, a web page and various live performances. We propose to include a duet with a prominent female singer. No negotiations or agreements, preliminary or otherwise have been entered into with a prominent female singer.
We do not consider ourselves a blank-check company. We have a specific business plan to produce an album for Mr. Christopher Doran and we have no intention of engaging in any business combination in the next twelve months.
Our administrative office is located at 29B Patiky Street, Kings Park, Long Island, NY 11754, telephone (631) 796-6211 and our registered statutory office is located at Suite 880 - 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada, 89501. Our fiscal year end is July 31.

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in the common stock.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
- It is likely we will encounter larger expenses than revenue and will be limited in our ability to provide returns to our investors
It is likely we will encounter greater expenses than revenue from the production and sales of our CD. If this is this case, it is unlikely that we will be able to provide investors with dividends or a return on their investment in our company.
- We have no experience in the music production business. This may affect our ability to operate successfully. Our officers and directors lack experience in managing a music production company and will be devoting only a fraction of their professional time to our activities. If our estimates related to expenditures are erroneous our business will fail and you will lose your entire investment.
Our management has never established or managed a music production company before, and has no experience. Our officers and directors have little or no direct experience in the management of a music production company. In the future we will recruit management with more expertise in the music production industry and we may be unable to do this. In the mean time, our current officers and directors will be devoting only approximately 10% of their professional time to our operations. Our management's lack of experience and devotion of time may make us more vulnerable than others companies to certain risks, and it may also cause us to be more vulnerable to business risks associated with errors in judgment that could have been prevented by more experienced management. Our management's lack of experience may prevent the adequate marketing of our CD. In particular, if management's estimates of expenditures are erroneous our business will fail and you will lose your entire investment. Our management's lack of p revious experience may harm our operations or cause us to go out of business.
3. We have no operating history and have maintained losses since inception, which we expect to continue into the future. We have never had any revenues to date. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
We were incorporated on July 3, 2002 and only just recently completed our business plan to produce a music album. We have not commenced operations or realized any revenues to date. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $2,273. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
- the success of our first album featuring our president, Christopher Jon Doran
- our ability to successfully produce and market our first music album as well as successive albums
- our ability to generate ongoing revenues
- our ability to reduce production and marketing costs
- our ability to compete with more established music producer companies
Based upon our proposed plans, we expect to incur significant operating and net losses in future periods. This will happen because there are substantial costs and expenses associated with the production and marketing of music albums. We may fail to generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
- We will have future capital needs to conduct marketing activities and the distribution of the CD and may not be able to obtain additional funding; as a result, we may not be able to continue operating if we cannot meet these funding requirements.
To conduct costly marketing activities for the album, we may need to raise additional funds beyond this offering. Our anticipation of the time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including those described in these risk factors. Upon completion of this offering, we anticipate being able to meet our needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months if we raise the minimum of $120,000. Approximately $20,000 of this will be used to pay our offering expenses. However, we may need to arrange for additional funding beyond this amount. We do not have any commitments for such additional funding. We expect to raise additional working capital through offerings of our common stock or through loans. There is no guaranty that we will be able to arrange for equity financing or obtain loans on f avorable terms or on any terms at all. If we are not able to raise additional working capital, our ability to expand and raise revenue will be harmed. In addition, our inability to raise additional working capital may force to go out of business in which case you will lose your entire investment.
Page 7
5. We depend upon our current officers and directors to continue our business and if either of these officers or directors, and especially Mr. Doran, leaves office or resigns, there will be no management to run our business and we will cease operations.
Our business is dependent upon our current officers and directors and, in particular our president and director, Christopher Jon Doran, who is also the star of our first proposed music album and who contributes all of our working capital. Brad Doran, who is also one of our directors, is our Director of Production. If either of these officers or directors, and especially Mr. Christopher Doran, leave office or resign, there will be no management to run our business. In addition, if Mr. Christopher Doran resigns we will likely discontinue our proposed business plan and go out of business and you will lose your entire investment.
- We must generate sufficient revenues from record sales to operate our business profitably and if we do not we may have to cease operations.
We have nominal assets and no current operations with which to create operating capital. We seek to raise operating capital to produce and promote an album. We must raise a minimum of $120,000 to cover our initial start-up expenses and offering costs and to provide limited working capital to fund our operating costs for an initial 12-month period. However if we do not generate sufficient revenues after we complete production of the album we may not be able to operate profitably and if this happens we may have to cease operations beyond this initial period. If we cease operations you will lose your entire investment.
- The recording industry is highly competitive and will make it difficult for us to be successful with our proposed CD.
The recording industry is highly competitive with respect to price, quality, distribution, promotion, and there are many well-established competitors. Certain factors, such as substantial price discounting, control by larger companies in the industry and the availability of quality music online for minimal or no cost may adversely affect the music production industry in general and us in particular. We will compete with a large number of established companies and artists in the industry. Most of the potential competitors that produce albums have financial resources superior to ours, so there can be no assurance that our projected income will not be affected by our competition. Given our higher costs of production, we will not be able to offer our product at similar prices to our larger competitors. If we are unable to compete we will go out of business and you will lose your entire investment.
Page 8
- Other performers on our CD may have rights to the intellectual property of the music recorded and this may impact our revenue
If any other performers are involved in the production of our CD they may have intellectual property rights to the musical content on the CD. If this is the case, these other artists may be entitled to a portion of the revenues derived from sales of our CD which will decrease the revenues we receive and may limit or prevent us from making a profit from the sale of our CD.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:
- Because Mr. Christopher Doran will own more than 50% of the outstanding shares after this offering, he will be able to decide who will be the directors and you may not be able to elect any directors. Mr. Doran's control will prevent you from causing a change in the course of our operations.
Even if we sell all 2,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, Mr. Doran will still own 2,100,000 shares and will continue to control us. As a result, after completion of this offering, regardless of the number of shares we sell, Mr. Doran will be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations.
Because Mr. Doran will control us after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold, your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, the value attributable to the right to vote is gone. This could result in a reduction in value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power.
- You are risking up to $300,000 to fund our proposed operations and if we fail you will lose all of your investment.
You will be providing up to $300,000 to fund our proposed operations. As a result, if we cease proposed operations for any reason, you will lose your entire investment.
- There is no public trading market for our common stock, so you may be unable to sell your shares.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. A market may never develop for our common stock. If a market does not develop, it will be very difficult, if not impossible for you to resell your shares. If you are unable to resell your shares your investment is ostensibly worthless.
12. Mr. Christopher Doran is risking a small amount of capital and property, while you on the other hand are risking up to $300,000, if we fail you will absorb most of our loss.
Mr. Christopher Doran, one of our shareholders will receive a substantial benefit from your investment. He has deposited cash of $200 and owe us $1,800 as a subscription receivable. You, on the other hand, will be providing all of the cash for our operations. As a result, if we cease operations for any reason, you will lose your investment while Mr. Doran will lose only a very small amount, perhaps as little as $2,000.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARDING-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some discussions in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this prospectus. Such factors include, those discussed in"Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"and "Business," as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The maximum net proceeds to us after deducting offering expenses of $20,000 will be $280,000 if all of the shares are sold. The minimum gross proceeds of this Offering will be $120,000. After deduction of estimated offering expenses of $20,000, the minimum proceeds of the Offering will be $100,000. If we do not raise at least $120,000 all funds will be returned promptly to shareholders. We will not be paying interest on these funds. Management may purchase shares in the offering in order to reach the minimum. The maximum number of shares our management will purchase is 400,000, if necessary. Any shares management purchase will be for investment purposes only and not for resale. The following table shows our use of proceeds if 40% (the minimum), 50%, 75%, and 100% (the maximum) of the shares are sold. The first $20,000 raised will be used for offering expenses. We will use the gross proceeds as follows:
Amount raised: | $120,000 | $150,000 | $225,000 | $300,000 |
Allocation
Offering expenses | $20,000 | $20,000 | $20,000 | $20,000 |
Album Production | $85,000 | $100,000 | $180,000 | $200,000 |
Working capital | $15,000 | $30,000 | $25,000 | $80,000 |
Working capital will be used for general administrative expenses including the reimbursement of officers and directors for any of their out of pocket expenses made on behalf of the company.
The allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering set forth above represents our best estimates based upon our current plans and certain assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions and our future revenues and expenditures.
We need to raise a minimum of $120,000 in this Offering. This will satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months based on a scaled down version of our business plan, as described under the "Business" section. In addition, the first $20,000 raised from this Offering will be devoted towards the expenses of this Offering.
We will undertake limited promotion efforts if we raise only the minimum amount. Such limited promotional efforts will primarily include web site and performance promotion only. If the minimum is raised in the offering, other expenses will be cut proportionately. Our plan of operations will fundamentally remain the same; however, we may be required to cost cut in respect of production facilities (i.e. using a cheaper facility than Abbey Road), orchestra (i.e. using a less well known symphony orchestra), packaging (i.e. using cheaper materials), and promotion (i.e. no television or radio promotion), etc.
Page 10
If 40% of the shares in this offering are sold (being a minimum of $120,000) we will proceed as follows:
- The offering expenses will be paid.
- We will book the London Symphony Orchestra (or if necessary a less expensive/smaller orchestra).
- We will commence a scaled/back production of the album booking Abbey Road Studios for approximately five to seven days (alternatively, we may consider utilizing a cheaper production facility to cost cut).
- We will not proceed with the addition of a female singer on the musical pieces.
- We will produce and package 5,000 - 10,000 CDs.
- We will have limited working capital.
- We anticipate commencing production of the album approximately 30 to 45 days after completion of the offering.
If 50% of the offering is sold we will proceed as follows:
- The offering expenses will be paid.
- We will book the London Symphony Orchestra (or if necessary a less expensive/smaller orchestra).

- We will not proceed with the addition of a female singer on the musical pieces.
- We produce and package 5,000 - 10,000 CDs.

While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering substantially in the manner set forth above, we reserve the right to reassess and reassign such use if, in the judgement of our board of directors, such changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting the same. The circumstances that would require management to alter the use of proceeds are as follows:
Page 11
-if the cost of a prominent singer to accompany Christopher Doran is too expensive, we will produce the CD with a lesser-known artist or without a duet entirely.
-if Mr. Christopher Doran is unable to perform due to illness or other circumstances we may consider allocating the funds to the production of a CD for a different artist entirely.
Mr. Christopher Doran intends to advance small loans to us to be used for organizational and start-up costs and operating capital until this offering is completed. The loans will not bear interest and have not been advanced as of the date hereof. There will be no documents reflecting the loans and they will not be due on a specific date. Mr. Doran will accept repayment from us when money is available. We plan to repay the loans from the proceeds of this offering provided that we raise the maximum amount. To date, Mr. Christopher Doran has lent us a total of $2,000.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $300,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. The factors considered were:
- our lack of operating history
- the proceeds to be raised by the offering
- the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount - of stock to be retained by our existing Stockholders
- our relative cash requirements
- the price we believe a purchaser is willing to pay for our stock
See "Plan of Distribution; Terms of the Offering."
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
"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 new investors purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.
As of July 31, 2003, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was NIL per share based upon 2,100,000 shares outstanding. You will pay $0.15 per share. Our directors and officers acquired their shares for a price of $.001.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event that all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 4,100,000 shares to be outstanding will be $300,000, or approximately $0.07 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.07 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.15 per share to $0.07 per share.
Page 12
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 3,600,000 shares to be outstanding will be $225,000, or approximately $0.06 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.06 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.15 per share to $0.06 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 3,100,000 shares to be outstanding will be $150,000, or approximately $0.05 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.05 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.15 per share to $0.05 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 40% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 2,900,000 shares to be outstanding will be $120,000, or approximately $0.04 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.04 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.15 per share to $0.04 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 49% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $300,000, or $0.15 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 51% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have, or will have, made contributions of cash totaling $2,100, or approximately $0.001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 42% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $225,000, or $0.15 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 58% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have, or will have, made contributions of cash totaling $2,100, or approximately $0.001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 32% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $150,000, or $0.15 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 68% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have, or will have, made contributions of cash totaling $2,100, or approximately $0.001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 800,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 28% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $120,000, or $0.15 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 72% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have, or will have, made contributions of cash totaling $2,100, or approximately $0.001 per share.
The following table compares the differences of new investors' investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

Penny Stock Rules
Our shares qualify as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. In particular, prior to selling a penny stock, broker/dealers must give the prospective customer a risk disclosure document that: contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; contains a description of the broker/dealers' duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violations of such duties or other requirements of Federal securities laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices; contains the toll free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions established pursuant to sectio n 15(A)(i); defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and contains such other information, and is in such form (including language, type size, and format), as the SEC requires by rule or regulation. Further, for sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement before making a sale to you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
If we are unable to raise the minimum amount of the offering, we may be unable to pay the offering expenses. Mr. Christopher Doran has indicated a willingness to loan us money for general and administrative expenses, however, we have no written agreement with him.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
BUSINESS
General
The company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 3, 2002 . We have no current business. We are a development stage company, with no assets, revenue, experience in the proposed line of business, or capital, and a deficit of $1,973 since our inception. We intend to be a start-up music producing company. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at Suite 880 - 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada, 89501 and our business office is located at 29B Patiky Street, Kings Park, Long Island, NY 11754. Our telephone number is (631) 796-6211. We do not lease or own any real property. Our office space is an office located within the personal residence of Mr. Christopher Doran. When we commence operations, it may be necessary for us to seek appropriate individual offices. Management believes suitable commercial space will be available when it is necessary.
Page 16
Background
We have only just completed our first business plan to produce an album featuring the accomplished Tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran. We have not yet commenced the production of our proposed album, or the marketing and deployment of the album. We intend to do this upon completion of this offering. We presently have no cash with which to satisfy any future cash requirements. The minimum amount being raised in this Offering is $120,000. Management may purchase shares in the Offering in order to reach the minimum. Any shares management purchase will be for investment purposes only and not for resale. The maximum number of shares management will purchase is 400,000 for proceeds of $60,000.
Proposed Business Focus
We intend to produce an album featuring the accomplished Tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran. See "Background of Officers and Directors". The album will consist of 12 pieces, including several opera arias, Neapolitan folk songs and one to two original selections. It is proposed that the album will be recorded in London, England using one of the most skilled and prominent recording orchestras in the world, The London Symphony. Once the album is released, we will retain an international distributor to handle shipping while either an interested record label or an independent promotions team will be responsible for all the marketing.
Our principal product will be the CD featuring Christopher Doran. We have no agreement for the manufacture of the CD to date, however, we are aware of numerous manufactures in the greater New York who produce limited numbers of pieces for smaller artists.
Distributors normally agree to distribute an artists product in return for a commission on each unit sold. We anticipate shipping our CD's directly from the manufacturer to the distributor. To date, we have no formal agreement, preliminary or otherwise, with either a distributor or manufacturer. We do not anticipate obtaining a distributor until we have produced a CD. We anticipate that our CD will be sold in retail stores in the US only, however, this determination will be made by the distributor.
Promotion will mainly be supported by radio, television, a web page and various live performances. We propose to include a duet with a prominent female singer. No negotiations or agreements, preliminary or otherwise have been entered into with a prominent female singer. See "Plan of Operations: Female Singer." The duet selection will also be supported by a poster campaign and a produced music video.
In our opinion, there is a market for independent performers of opera and Neapolitan folk songs. We have no independent data supporting this opinion.
DISCLOSURE FROM DORAN
Our proposed business is to continue to produce albums for Mr. Doran and other artists. We anticipate focusing on artists in the genre of opera (i.e. classically trained).
Potential Revenue Streams
There are three potential revenue streams that we are targeting in our proposed business plan:
- CD Sales- We anticipate the primary revenue stream to be derived from the sale of CD's to retail consumers. We anticipate that the price per CD will be approximately $20. We intend to initially produce 20,000 CD's. If we raise less money in this offering we will produce fewer CDs (5,000-10,000 CDs).
Page 17
2. Merchandising-Although more conducive to a rock or top-40 type artist, we are hopeful that there may be sales possibilities for items some as t-shirts and posters with the image of Mr. Doran. No negotiations or agreements, preliminary or otherwise have been entered into in the merchandising market for CDs of opera and Neapolitan folk songs. Sales will be dictated by the sale of the CD. .
3. Touring-Mr. Doran may consider limited touring. We will receive a portion of the income derived from any tours conducted by Mr. Doran. Mr. Doran may commence limited touring in the eastern United States seaboard area to minimize travel costs. We will receive 80% of the revenue derived from the touring. The music artist agreement between us the company and Mr. Doran contemplates Mr. Doran conducting tours, however, this is not an obligation of Mr. Doran under the agreement. Nonetheless, Mr. Doran has expressed a willingness to conduct limited touring. While Mr. Doran has expressed a willingness to tour, he is under no obligation to do so and may be unable to complete such tours.
See "Executive Compensation: Compensation of Christopher Doran".
Unless we are able to derive revenue from any or all of these three potential sources our proposed business operations will fail.
Industry Background
The Major Labels
The following facts and figures were derived from the IFPI website. IFPI is the association representing the international recording industry.
There are two types of record companies in the industry: the first group, the majors (the "Majors"), such as Warner Brothers, BMG, Polygram, etc. which sell primarily "pop" music, and the second group, the independent record companies (the "Independents") such as Popular Records, TJSB Records Ltd. and NUMUZIK", which are smaller music sellers usually focused on a distinct niche audience. A major label is usually distributed by the recording company itself, or by a subsidiary company owned by or affiliated with the Majors.
There are six recording and distribution companies (The "Majors") which dominate the U.S. music industry, and which manufacture and distribute over two hundred labels, supplying music wholesalers and retailers with about 80% of the U.S. market - Warner-Elektra-Atlantic (WEA); Polygram Group Distribution (PGD); MCA Music Entertainment; BMG Distribution, Sony Music Entertainment, and CEMA/UNI Distribution.
The Majors today operate in a similar fashion to film distributors, rather than production houses, having the organization and money to take new music to the public, but little ability to 'create' the music themselves. They buy out successful independent labels and artist-owned companies, enter into joint ventures with them, or contract with them for distribution rights.
The Independent Labels
The Independents are in essence smaller versions of the Majors and account for the remaining 20% of recorded music sales or approximately $2 billion per year. They traditionally service small areas or regions and represent over 2,500 independent labels. The Independents rely on many small independent distributors to have their albums sold. Independents' albums are distributed by nearly 300 independent record distributors.
In the early 1950's, the power center of the music industry shifted from an alliance of publishing houses and film studios to record companies. This shift reflected the ascent of records as the leading source of revenue for the industry. The market was dominated by a handful of major labels, but dozens of Independents were carving out successful niches for themselves, which continue until the present time. Companies such as Elektra, Fantasy, A&M; Motown, Stax, Chess, Sun and Dot had their start during this period.
Page 18
The Independents provide the conditions for new sounds to grow and old 'niche' sounds to flourish. All significant new musical trends have had their birth in independent record companies and production houses. From early Independents like Verve, Specialty, Sun and Stax, to post-rock labels like Rounder, Green Linnet and Alligator, to more recent upstarts like Sub-Pop, Epitaph, Tommy Boy and Profile, the key to the success of Independents is locating great sounds and packaging them for 'niche' market consumption. The Independents are diverse and span every style from classical to hip-hop and folk to new age. The Independents are the major source for new music. It serves as the R&D laboratory for the Majors. The Independents are artistically and creatively on the cutting-edge of 'new music', the fastest-growing segment of the industry today. It includes everything from rap, urban and ambient to country, jungle and folk.
It is our goal to become an Independent music producer by producing this album for Christopher Doran. At the present time we can not compete in this industry as an independent music producer because we have no financial resources. Assuming completion of the maximum offering we will still have great difficulty competing with not only the other Independent labels but also with the Majors. If we complete less than the maximum offering we will have an even more difficult time competing in this industry. At best, our position will be that of a marginal Independent music producer.
Industry Growth
According to IFPI, the organization representing the record industry worldwide, world sales of recorded music fell by 7% in value and by 8% in units in 2002. Mass downloading from unauthorized file sharing on the internet and the massive proliferation of CD burning continues to be a major cause of the fall in CD sales globally, combined with competition from other entertainment sectors and economic uncertainty on consumer spending.
Recorded music sales worldwide fell to US$32 billion in 2002. Compared to 2001, sales of CD albums fell globally by 6%, and there were continued declines in sales of singles (-16%) and cassettes (-36%).
IFPI comprises a membership of 1500 record companies, including independents and majors, in 76 countries.
A survey by International Data Corp found that use of music downloads is by far the heaviest among individuals under age 20. We anticipate that while our album will appeal to a broad range of audiences, the majority of the purchasers of our album will be older given that the genre of this album, opera, is more popular among older consumers who are less likely to obtain music online.
The industry has also stepped up its fight against music piracy worldwide, with intensified legal actions against infringing peer-to-peer services and a global education campaign aimed at online piracy among corporations, government and colleges and universities.
Positive trends for the industry include the growth in sales of music videos, which saw a 12% rise in units sold. Growth worldwide is attributed to the increase in sales of DVDs overall and DVD players; DVD music videos rose by 58% compared to a 42% decline in VHS. With the release of over 1,300 new titles by record companies in 2002, DVD music videos are expected to become a growing contributor to music sales.
New formats such as DVD Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD) also did well. Music companies have launched new CD titles simultaneously on DVD Audio or SACD. Since 2001, unit sales of both DVD Audio and SACD combined more than tripled, with each format selling over one million each in 2002.

Other Information
We currently have no licenses, royalty agreements or copyrights. We do not require any government approval for our business. Furthermore, we do not anticipate any government regulations directly impacting our business operations.We have only two employees, Mr. Christopher Doran and Mr. Bradley Doran.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The proposed album will contain 12 selections featuring the accomplished Tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran. These 12 pieces will consist of opera arias, Neapolitan folk songs and one to two original selections. It is proposed that one of the original pieces will be a duet performed with a prominent female vocalist. It is our goal that this "celebrity" appearance will fuel both mainstream radio and CD sales in the commercial marketplace. This concept has been carried out very successfully before. For example, Sarah Brightman's performance of "Time To Say Goodbye" on Andrea Bocelli's album "Romanza" played a major role in launching his solo career. No negotiations or agreements, preliminary or otherwise have been entered into with a prominent female singer.
The one or two original pieces to be featured on the album will be composed in the style of "classical-pop cross-over", in that they will combine a blend of classical opera and popular music styles (similar in style to many of the recordings of Andrea Bocelli and rising star Josh Groban). Mr. Doran intends to write the original songs himself, using his computer music production and composition software known as Logic Audio. There will be no additional fees associated with writing the original songs or any agreements regarding the writing of the songs other than those in respect of production assistance as disclosed below under "Original Selections" below.
Orchestral Recording
It is our intention that the CD will be recorded in London, England using one of the most skilled and prominent recording orchestras in the world, The London Symphony. A 60-piece version of this orchestra will be commissioned to best suit the repertoire. As well, the legendary Abbey Road Studios will be booked as the primary recording facility. It is our belief having an internationally renowned orchestra and studio associated with this album will fuel strong CD sales in the classical marketplace.
A 60-piece orchestra will be required to accommodate both the classical selections and the original pieces. To record a total of 48-50 minutes of final material, a minimum of nine hours recording time will be required to be booked in addition to the rehearsal. These nine hours are further broken down by General and Classical rates to take advantage of lower recording costs for classical repertoire. The following fees are based on average costs as outlined by the London Symphony Orchestra administration.
All amounts have been converted from Pounds Sterling to US Dollars as of the date of this document. The London Symphony Orchestra requires all fees be paid in advance, 12 days prior to the first recording session:
General rate for audio recording (one 3 hour session): | $ | 10,094.00 |
- Management Fee (12.5%) | $ | 1,262.00 |
Classical rate for audio recording (two 3 hour sessions): | | |
- 60 players (including concert master and librarian) | $ | 15,700.00 |
- Management Fee (12.5%) | $ | 2,213.00 |
Conductor (as negotiated with his or her agent) | $ | 4,668.00 |
Instrument Transportation (includes basic orchestral percussion) | $ | 1,478.00 |
Page 20
Rehearsal fee for two hours of time (if possible) | $ | 5,000.00 |
Rehearsal location - large room rental for two hours | $ | 2,000.00 |
Purchase of sheet music from Kalmus Music (10 selections) | $ | 928.00 |
Total cost for hiring the orchestra | $ | 43,343.00 |
We note that there may be additional musician union fees for signing a union contract as well as buyout options to avoid paying out royalties on individual album sales. We have had no formal discussions regarding any such arrangements. Based on our informal discussions with music producers and other artists, hiring musicians who are part of a union requires payment of union fees, which typically range from $15 to $20 per individual. We may also opt to pay a small lump sum advance buyout of the orchestra's rights to royalties as a performer. We expect both of these expenditures to be covered by our allocation for miscellaneous expenses, but we have had no formal discussions regarding any such arrangements.
We currently have no agreement with the London Symphony Orchestra or any other 60-piece orchestra, nor have we entered into any negotiations in respect of the same. The basis of our statement that, if we have sufficient financing to pay all associated and related fees, we will be able to hire the London Symphony Orchestra (or another comparable 60-piece orchestra) is based on our informal discussions with music producers and our own knowledge of the industry. If we are unable to hire the London Symphony, we will attempt to hire another comparable orchestra of similar size. If we are unable to obtain a 60-piece orchestra we will seek to hire a smaller orchestra.
Our representative informally contacted the London Symphony Orchestra to obtain a current fee schedule. However, we have had no specific discussions with the London Symphony Orchestra in connection with our company hiring them for a recording.
Recording Facilities and Personnel
There are two main recording philosophies regarding Classical orchestral sessions. The first is to record the orchestra in a live performance hall using ambient and spot microphones. Here, the natural reverb (the reverberation of sound) of the hall is used, though there's less opportunity to enhance the sound after the fact. This method requires both hall rental and mobile recording. The second approach is to record the orchestra in a professional recording studio large enough for every player to be comfortable. This is how most film scores are recorded as it offers the most flexibility for enhancements such as overdubs and frequency adjustment. Our proposal focuses on the latter concept.
The process of recording this album will be as follows: the orchestra will be recorded first over a one to two day period, then the tenor and other vocal parts will be overdubbed over the following four to five days, and finally, all the tracks will be mixed for approximately one week.
Current rates at Abbey Road Studios in London, England are as follows: | | |
- daily rate for the large Studio 1 (includes assist. engineer) | $ | 3,000.00 |
- entire booking would be 14 days | $ | 42,000.00 |
- daily setup fee of $150.00 | $ | 2,100.00 |
Experienced engineer for 14 days | $ | 9,200.00 |
Format for Sony 48 track digital tape (4 hours running time) | $ | 1,823.00 |
Album producer fee (flat fee for 14 days in the studio) | $ | 12,000.00 |
Page 21
The fees listed for recording the CD at Abbey Road are all the costs in recording the CD. ORIGINAL SELECTIONS: | | |
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) studio production - includes MIDI mock-ups and possible audio transfers - this will involve the use of Mr. Doran's composition tracks which will be transferred into a software program known as Protools for production. |
$
|
7,500.00
|
Orchestration cost for 60 pieces (2 original songs) - this will be the cost for assistance by a producer in assisting with orchestration for 60 a piece ensemble. |
$
|
4,800.00
|
Copying charges for the orchestral music (2 original songs) | $ | 2,800.00 |

$
|
5,400.00
|
Total cost of recording facilities and personnel: | $ | 86,623.00 |
Our representative informally contacted Abbey Road Studios and Gateway Mastering Studios to obtain fee schedules upon which the above cost estimates are based. However, we have had no specific discussions with either studio in connection with our company undertaking a recording.
Additional Expenses
The "additional expenses" of $85,660 described below include expenses of hiring the female singer, travel costs, packaging and miscellaneous expenses.
Female Singer
It is proposed that one of the original pieces will be a duet performed with a prominent female vocalist, possibly even from another music genre . No negotiations or agreements, preliminary or otherwise have been entered into with a prominent female singer.
It is our goal that this "celebrity" appearance will fuel both mainstream radio and CD sales in the commercial marketplace.
The celebrity female singer is entitled to charge a fee both for her performance during the recording session and for the use of her name. This fee can be negotiated with either her record label or agent. The following is an estimate of these total costs:
Celebrity female singer for one or two selections | $ | 25,000.00 |
Administrator/Contractor fee - to organize the entire recording project from conception to released CD | $
| 5,000.00
|
Our estimate for the total costs of hiring a celebrity female singer is based on our information discussions with local music producers and performers, as well as our own knowledge of the industry. The estimate does not include royalties due to the singer which are always negotiated at the time of hiring.
Page 22
Travel
Travel expense budget includes airfare to the United Kingdom, hotel and daily allowance for meals and transportation - the following personnel will need to be relocated for two weeks during the recording of this CD:
Christopher Jon Doran (tenor solo artist)
Brad Doran (album producer and administrator)
Average airfare costs (two people) | $ | 3,000.00 |
Hotel for 14 nights (two rooms) | $ | 8,600.00 |
Daily food and transportation budget ($250.00 ) | | |
by 14 nights over three people | $ | 10,500.00 |
Initial proposal research and preparation fee (includes long distance phone, CD's and materials) | $
| 700.00
|
The fees listed include all costs in connection with traveling to record the CD in London. The daily food and transportation budget covers three persons, which includes the vocalist, the producer and an assistant (if necessary).
Packaging
It is our goal that the packaging of this CD will satisfy both the classical connoisseur and mainstream fans alike. The artwork will contain many full color photos of Christopher Jon Doran, as well as the female guest vocalist, the orchestra and the recording process. We also intend to include a full color booklet with a detailed artist history, song lyrics, and a full credit list including supporters and patrons. Based on informal discussions with music producers, we believe we can include photographs of the London Symphony or the celebrity female singer in the packaging of the CD. It is anticipated that there may well be associated fees or royalties in respect of such inclusions, which amounts are anticipated to be covered by our allocation for "additional expenses". In the event that such fees or royalties are cost prohibitive, the company may decide not to include such photographs in the CD packaging.
The CD art and duplication costs are as follows: (This includes full color artwork plus a 40-page booklet)
Design, typesetting and photo layout (photos to be supplied) | $ | 2,860.00 |
Printing of 10,000 units = $1.04/unit (not incl.) - this includes CD & art printing, plate setup, label film, bar code, jewel box & shrink wrap) |
$
|
10,400.00
|
Total cost of additional expenses | $ | 85,660.00 |
Total cost of album production | $ | 215,626.00 |
The fee listed for packaging the CD includes all costs in connection with packaging.
The total costs of album production of $215,626 includes estimated costs of $43,343 for the orchestra recording, $86,623 for the recording facilities and personnel, and $85,660 of additional expenses. Additional expenses include $30,000 for hiring the female singer, $22,800 in travel expenses, $23,660 in packaging costs (for the revised amount of 20,000 CDs) and $5,600 for miscellaneous expenses.
Page 23
Promotional Concepts
Once the CD is released, an international distributor will handle shipping while it is our speculation that either an interested record label, if any, or an independent promotions team, if any, will be responsible for all the marketing. We have not yet been in contact with any international distributors or discussed any potential fee arrangements. Promotion will mainly be supported by radio, television, a web page and various live performances. The duet selection will also be supported by a poster campaign and a produced music video. No negotiations or agreements, preliminary or otherwise have been entered into for the poster or video campaign.
The promotion section of this proposal gives further details. Based on our personal experience and conversations with music producers we will expect the record label associated with the female guest artist to help with some of the promotional duties.
Promotional techniques and concepts for this album will be determined at the time of release to follow market trends. We believe this will give the best opportunity to introduce the album in the most professional and marketable way. The following are some general concepts that we would likely put into place:
- contracting a sales and promotions team with one to two experienced promoters . Some of their jobs would include: building relationships with radio programmers, tracking radio play, creating press releases, organizing concerts and artist appearances, distribution of posters and other promotional material, overseeing all the promotional concepts, etc. We anticipate the costs for this to be approximately $20,000.
- finding an international label interested in distribution.
- printing a full-color poster campaign to be used primarily at CD stores. We anticipate the costs for this to be approximately $5,000.
- creation of one or two music videos featuring the single releases (e.g. the duet) from the album (this would most likely be a co-effort with the female singer's label). We anticipate the costs for this to be approximately $30,000.
- creation of an artist web page where people can hear clips of the material and CD's can be purchased. We anticipate the costs for this to be approximately $5,000.
- a teaser postcard campaign will be developed. This will consist of three different postcards that will be mailed to radio, press and retail outlets. The first card will drop or be delivered two weeks prior the release date of the album. This card will feature a photograph of Mr. Doran and key information on the upcoming release of the album. The second card drop will take place approximately three weeks after the release date of the album and should include radio information and appearances. The third card drop will take place approximately five weeks after the release announcing the release of the album, radio updates and quotes from media on the record. The objective is to build Mr. Doran's overall awareness in the marketplace. We anticipate the costs for this to be approximately $5,000.
Estimated cost of promotional concepts over 1 year: | $ | 65,000.00 |
Total proposed cost to produce, manufacture and promote the Christopher Jon Doran tenor solo album: | $
| 280,626.00
|

The marketing and promotion of our CD will primarily supported by advertising on radio, television, a web page and various performances by Christopher Doran. The anticipated costs associated with the promotion are $65,000, as described above.
We believe that this album will cater to several large music markets in its wide appeal. We believe the sound of a strong Tenor with a full orchestra is becoming increasingly popular in today's culture, thanks to the efforts of great singers such as Pavarotti and Domingo. It is our goal to make and internationally acclaimed album using memorable arias mixed with fresh original music, a well-respected orchestra and a popular female artist.
We cannot currently satisfy our cash requirements, but until this registration statement is declared effective, Christopher Doran has agreed to loan us small amounts of money as required for general and administrative expenses (although there is no written agreement to this effect). We require proceeds from this offering before we can commence any significant operations. So long as we raise the minimum amount under the offering, we do not believe will not have to raise additional funds in the following twelve months thereafter. We do not intend to undertake any product research or development in the next twelve months. We do not own any plant or equipment, nor do we intend to acquire or sell any plant or significant equipment in the next twelve months. Messrs. Doran and Doran are our only employees and we do not intend to make any significant changes in the number of employees during the next twelve months.
Milestones and Expenditures Related to Becoming a Music Production Company
The following sets out our business plan milestones to becoming a music production company, the steps necessary to accomplish each milestone, the time for reaching each milestone in months and the anticipated costs of each step (and how the costs will be financed):
- Production and promotion of an album featuring tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran - we intend to commence production of the album within 30 to 45 days after completion of this offering, however, we estimate that completing this milestone (including promotional efforts) will take approximately 12 months. We will require a minimum amount of $120,000 in financing from this offering to achieve this milestone. The following steps are necessary to achieve this milestone:
- Hiring London Symphony Orchestra for the recording - we estimate this will cost approximately $43,000. If we do not raise sufficient funds, we may consider using the London Symphony for a shorter duration or, if necessary, we may use an alternative orchestra to achieve additional cost savings.
- Production of the album booking Abbey Road Studios - we estimate this will cost between $43,000 to $86,000, depending upon the amount of days we book in the studio.
- Hiring of female singer to accompany Mr. Doran on the musical pieces - we estimate that this will cost approximately $10,000, depending upon the profile of the particular artist sought. We have not commenced any efforts to locate a suitable female singer. If we do not raise sufficient funds we may decide not to hire a female accompanist.
- Packaging of 5,000 - 10,000 CDs for distribution - this step will cost approximately $7,000 (if we make only $5,000 CDs) and $14,000 (if we make 10,000).
- Promotion of the album - this will cost up to $65,000 over a period of 12 months.
Page 25
- We estimate that we will first generate revenues within approximately 12 months from the production and promotion of our first album featuring Mr. Doran.
- Production and promotion of additional albums featuring tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran and/or other classically trained vocalists. - subject to the success of our first album featuring Christopher Jon Doran, we may decide to undertake an additional album featuring Mr. Doran. Alternatively, we may decide to produce and promote additional albums featuring other classically trained vocalists. We have not yet commenced our search for any other vocalists, nor have we arranged any financing to undertake a second album. We require equity financing in this current offering in order produce and promote our first album featuring Christopher Doran. We will most likely need to obtain additional financing in the future in respect of our intention to produce a second or subsequent albums. We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us at all or on acceptable terms. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing will result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Mr. Christopher Doran intends to advance small loans to us to be used for organizational and start-up costs and operating capital until this offering is completed. The loans will not bear interest and have not been advanced as of the date hereof. There will be no documents reflecting the loans and they will not be due on a specific date. Mr. Doran will accept repayment from us when money is available. We plan to repay the loans from the proceeds of this offering provided that we raise the maximum amount. To date, Mr. Christopher Doran has lent us a total of $2,000.

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders
A total of 2,100,000 shares of common stock were issued to the existing stockholders, all of which are "restricted securities," as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one (1) year after their acquisition.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
Any share purchased by an affiliate (in general, a person who is in a control relationship with us), will be subject to the limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under theSecurities Act. We have disclosed that under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated with those of others) whose restricted shares have been fully paid for and meet the rule's one year holding provisions, including persons who maybe deemed our affiliates, may sell restricted securities in broker's transactions or directly to market makers, provided the number of shares sold in any three month period is not more than the greater of 1% of the total shares of common stock then outstanding or the average weekly trading volume for the four calendar week period immediately prior to each such sale. After restricted securities have been fully paid for and held for two years, restricted securities may be sold by persons who are not our affiliates without regard to volume limitations. Restricted securities held by affiliates must continue, even after the two year holding period, to be sold in brokers' transactions or directly to market makers subject to the limitations described above.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
- have equal rateable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when as and if declared by our board of directors;

Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

Page 30
Cash Dividends

The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions.

Our common stock is defined as a "penny stock" under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because we are a penny stock, you may be unable to resell our shares. Also, the Exchange Act and the penny stock rules impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors. As a result, fewer broker-dealers are willing to make a market in our stock and it may effect the level of news coverage you receive.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(for the period from inception to July 31, 2003)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of business. Doranetti Music, Inc. ("Doranetti") was incorporated in Nevada on July 3, 2002, to produce an album featuring the accomplished Tenor vocalist Christopher Jon Doran. The album will consist of 12 pieces, including several opera arias, Neapolitan folk songs and 1-2 original selections. The album will be recorded in London, England using one of the most skilled and prominent recording orchestras in the world, The London Symphony. Currently, Doranetti has limited operations and is a development stage company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Doranetti recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been performed, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Basic Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Doranetti does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on Doranetti's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
For the year ended July 31, 2003 and period ended 2002, Doranetti has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $2,000 at July 31, 2003, and will expire in the years 2022 through 2023.
Page F-7
Deferred income taxes consist of the following at July 31, 2003:

In July 3002, Doranetti issued 100,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $100 or $0.001 per share or the fair value of the assets received.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Doranetti neither owns nor leases any real or personal property, and a related party has provided office services without charge. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein. The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
1. Article XII of the Articles of Incorporation of the company, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement.
2. Article XI of the Bylaws of the company, filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Registration Statement.
3. Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 78.
The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability, thereby making the company responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.
The estimated expenses of the offering (assuming all shares are sold), all of which are to be paid by the registrant, are as follows:
SEC Registration Fee Printing Expenses Accounting Fees and Expenses Legal Fees and Expenses Federal Taxes State Taxes Blue Sky Fees/Expenses Transfer Agent Fees Miscellaneous Expense | $ 75.00 500,000 2,000.00 14,000.00 0.00 0.00 1,000.00 2,000.00 425.00 |
TOTAL | $ 20,000.00 |
ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
During the past three years, the Registrant has sold the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Name and Address | Date | Shares | Consideration |
Christopher Doran 29B Patiky Street Kings Park, Long Island, NY 11754 | July 3, 2002 | 2,000,000 | Advance and subscription receivable totaling of $1,800 |
Brad Doran 1360 Lehigh Street, Boulder, Colorado 80385 | July 3, 2002 | 100,000 | Services valued at $100 |
We issued the foregoing restricted shares of common stock to Messrs. Doran pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Messrs. Doran are sophisticated investors, are officers and directors of the company, and where in possession of all material information relating to the company. Further, no commissions were paid to anyone in connection with the sale of the shares and general solicitation was made to anyone.
Page II-1
The subscription receivable of $1,800 has not yet been paid by Christopher Doran. However, under Nevada law a promise to pay is considered full consideration for the purchase of shares. The shares purchased by Mr. Doran were sold pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Mr. Doran is a sophisticated investor, is an officer and director of the company, and was in possession of all material information related to the company. Further, no commissions were paid to anyone in connection with the sale of the shares and no general solicitation was made to anyone. This sale of unregistered securities will result in dilution to any investors subscribing under the registration statement when it is declared effective.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against publi c policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
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:
a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
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;
Page II-2
c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any 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 that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing of this Form SB-2 Registration Statement and has duly caused this Form SB-2 Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Long Island, New York, on this 21st day of April, 2004.
