RISK FACTORS
Uncertainties And Risk Factors That May Affect RF Odyssey’s Future Results And Financial Condition
You should consider an investment in the common shares to involve a high degree of risk and to be subject to many uncertainties. In order to attain an appreciation for these risks and uncertainties, you should read this prospectus in its entirety and consider all of the information and advisements contained in this prospectus, including the following risk factors and uncertainties. The risk factors and uncertainties enumerated below may materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, and could result in a complete loss of any value in the common shares.
Our business plan and revenue generating model is still unproven and effects our ability to raise money.
At present the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is in the business of developing, producing and marketing its proprietary product,Frontier. The Company plans to achieve market penetration and market share through increased marketing and sales activity. However, we will need to raise capital in order to achieve our goals. We expect it will be difficult to raise funds due to our lack of operating history and lack of substantial assets. We expect that we will need a total of $500,000 in short-term capital investment, and approximately $10,000,000 in total capital investment to be able to implement our business plan. We currently have insufficient capital necessary to expand our business operations from which we may realize additional revenue. The business plan calls for the recruitment of engineering staff, and the creation of a research and development operation that is fully equipped with the necessary computer equipment, and software that is required to develop semiconductor devices. Without these additional resources the company cannot effectively complete the development of our first product, and release the product to be manufactured and sold to our target customer base. We cannot say with certainty that the $10,000,000 in capital investment will be sufficient to bring us to positive cash flow as projected in our business plan. Management believes that in order to grow our business that it must do so through increased sales and marketing efforts, which may require additional cash above the $10,000,000 which we have projected will achieve growth. Any additional sources of cash will most likely be raised through the issuance of additional stock or additional indebtedness. The issuance of additional stock could result in dilution, as discussed below. The issuance of additional indebtedness could hamper our ability to generate net profits, depending on the repayment terms and other factors that determine the overall cost of such indebtedness. Moreover, even if we had sufficient financing to undertake these activities, there is no guarantee that we will be able to expand our business sufficiently to achieve profitability.
3
We have not generated any profits in our prior history
We have incurred losses and anticipate continued losses in the future. As of June 30, 2004, RF Odyssey had a consolidated accumulated deficit of $54,408. As of June 30, 2004, RF Odyssey had a Stockholders’ Deficiency of $1,373. We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur net losses until we recognize sufficient revenues from the operations of Citrus CanadaSee, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation – General” for a more detailed discussion regarding our historical cash flows.
We currently do not generate sufficient revenues from operations to cover expenses.
We currently do not realize sufficient revenues from the operations of RF Odyssey to cover operating expenses, and we currently cannot anticipate when we will commence generating revenues from operations sufficient to cover our administrative expenses and sustain planned growth. There is no assurance that we can successfully raise such additional funds to cover its operating expenses until the operations of RF Odyssey generates revenues to meet such expenses. We cannot give any assurance that success in raising capital will result in success of operations and a return on any investor’s investment.
Even if we are successful in locating suitable sources of working capital, it is still possible that the investors will not receive amounts equal to their investment in our Company. Given the substantial risk of thinly capitalized corporations, such as ours, it is very possible that the market value of our stock will not provide an investor with the ability to either recoup his or her investment capital or a return on his or her investment. This may be due to various factors, including failure of our business plan or a partial failure by not generating sufficient profits or general stock market or economic conditions. No investment should be made by a person who is not in a position to lose the entire amount of their investment.
Our auditors’ report states that they have substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our auditors, Amisano Hanson, Chartered Accountants, state in their audit report, which is part of the financial statements included with this prospectus, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This doubt has arisen due to the fact that we have no established source of revenue and have not commenced any commercial operations. Although we plan to establish revenues and commercial operations, these plans are subject to the risk factors discussed above and thus there is no assurance that they can be achieved and that the substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a goingconcern can be overcome.
Our Products may not gain market acceptance over the competing products already in the market.
Despite the fact that we feel that our products will receive market acceptance and that our price positioning is favorable, there are a number of competitors in the market. We have no sales history on which to base our belief that our products will take a share of the existing market from the present competitors. If we cannot gain a sufficient portion of market share for our products we will not achieve profitability and may not be able to continue to operate.
Future sales of our common stock may have a depressive effect upon its price.
All of the currently outstanding shares of common stock were issued at prices lower than the price of the shares of common stock in this offering. In the future, sales of these securities may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock should a public trading market develop for such shares.
4
There is no assurance of future dividends being paid.
At this time we do not anticipate paying dividends in the future, but instead plan to retain any earnings for use in the operation of our business and to fund future growth. We are under no legal or contractual obligation to declare or to pay dividends, and the timing and amount of any future cash dividends and distributions is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, on our future after-tax earnings, operations, capital requirements, borrowing capacity, financial condition and general business conditions
Uncertainties And Risks Relating To Shares
Our stock currently does not trade on any public markets and hence any investment in our stock is illiquid.
Our stock currently is not traded on any stock exchange or quoted on any stock quotation system. Upon this prospectus becoming effective, we intend to apply for quotation of our common stock on the Over-the Counter/Bulletin Board or OTC/BB. The lack of a public market means that a purchaser of our common stock does not have a means to liquidate his or her investment in the Company. Quotations on the OTC/BB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Our common stock will be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. Information regarding rules pertaining to “penny stock” is provided later in this prospectus under the heading “Common Equity & Related Stockholder Matters”. Penny stocks generally are securities wit h a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provide information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock.
You may not be able to buy or sell our stock at will and may lose your entire investment.
We are not listed on any stock exchange at this time. We hope have our common shares traded on the OTC/BB. These are often known as "penny stocks" and are subject to various regulations involving certain disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stocks. These disclosures require you to acknowledge you understand the risk associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the entire loss of your investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want.
You should not expect to receive a liquidation distribution
If we were to wind-up or dissolve RF Odyssey and liquidate and distribute our assets, our common shareholders would share ratably in our assets only after we satisfy any amounts we would owe to our creditors and to our preferred shareholders. If our liquidation or dissolution were attributable to our inability to profitably operate our business, then it is likely that we would have material liabilities at the time of liquidation or dissolution. Accordingly, it is likely that we would not have sufficient assets after the payment of our creditors to enable you to receive any liquidation distribution with respect to any Shares you may hold.
Our right to issue additional capital stock at any time could have an adverse effect on your proportionate ownership and voting rights
5
We are authorized under our Articles to issue up an unlimited number of Common Shares. Subject to compliance with applicable corporate and securities laws, we may issue these shares under such circumstances and in such manner and at such times, prices, amounts and purposes as our board of directors may, in their discretion, determine to be necessary and appropriate. Your proportionate ownership and voting rights as a common shareholder could be adversely affected by the issuance of additional Shares, including a substantial dilution in your net tangible book value per share.

INFORMATION ON RF ODYSSEY
A. History and Development of RF Odyssey
The Company’s legal name is RF Odyssey Inc. The Company does not operate under any other business or trade name. RF Odyssey was founded on March 2, 2004 as a Canadian federal corporation. RF Odyssey is a fabless semiconductor company focused on developing radio frequency integrated circuits (referred to herein as “RFICs”) for the Broadband Wireless Access (referred to as “BWA”), market. The Company was founded by Rob Cook and Ian Roane, both of which have extensive experience in the semiconductor industry. RF Odyssey’s head office is located at 2035, King Vaughn Road, Maple, Ontario, Canada, telephone number: (866) 824-8209.
RF Odyssey operates under the Canada Business Corporation Act.RF Odyssey’s agent for service of process in the U.S. is Paracorp Incorporated, which is located at 318 No. Carson Street, Suite No 208, Reno, Nevada
8
The management team is comprised of a mixture of skill-sets and individual core competencies, but each member has prior start-up company experience.
RF Odyssey has not made any capital expenditures to date, however, subject to securing adequate capital investment, capital expenditures will need to be made in the following areas:
Intellectual Property Acquisition: $1,000,000. There acquisitions will be for licenses to certain semiconductor building blocks that avoid the cost of developing such assets in-house. RF Odyssey will own the intellectual property as it is used in its specific designs.
Manufacturing and Tooling: $1,200,000. These costs are related to non-recurring engineering charges that RF Odyssey will have to pay to a semiconductor manufacturing company. This cost also includes a charge for tooling that the semiconductor industry refers to as “masks”. The masks are prepared by the manufacturing company based on RF Odyssey’s specifications. The masks remain the property of RF Odyssey.
Capital Leases: $400,000. These costs relate to leases for hardware and software that RF Odyssey will need to develop its devices.
B. Business Overview
As a “fabless” semiconductor company, RF Odyssey has elected to focus its resources on developing and marketing RFICs, and intends to outsource the manufacturing of these products to a leading semiconductor foundry with expertise in manufacturing semiconductor devices utilizing CMOS based processes. RF Odyssey provides leading edge RFIC’s to companies that develop BWA equipment, which is used to provide consumers with access to the Internet and other communications services. The company’s products are considered leading edge as these products provide for radio frequencies from 900Mhz to 6Ghz, and manufactured using a low cost CMOS process, making the products completely unique.
Principal Products
RF Odyssey’s first product called, “Frontier” is a semiconductor chip that incorporates all of the required electronic circuitry to perform the radio function of broadband wireless access equipment. This product is targeted for release in the second half of 2005. The release of this product will be the first of its kind in the marketplace and will provide many advantages over competitive solutions in the areas of power, cost, performance, size, processing, and time to market. The unique architecture of the“Frontier” product eliminates the need for equipment developers to use different chips for each frequency band, essentially creating a “one size fits all” approach. The result is significant system costs savings, increased system quality and reliability, and significant savings in operations and logistics costs.
The Market
Over the past two years, several market events have occurred that are enabling growth in the BWA market. First, the establishment of the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Forum (WiMAX), an independent standards body with the mission to provide system interoperability. This was an important event in the evolution of the BWA market due to the fact that the Service Providers will only support technologies that are based on widely accepted industry standards. Second, semiconductor companies are targeting new products in the WiMAX standards. The list of semiconductor companies that are developing products for this new market segment is validated by the growing number of companies that have gained membership in the WiMAX Forum. The overall system cost of BWA equipment is made up largely by the costs of the semiconductors required to develop BWA systems. Increasing participation of semiconductor companies will enabl e the transition to systems that are designed with a small number of components rather than hundreds of discrete components currently used in BWA systems. By reducing the overall system costs, equipment companies can provide new BWA systems that will achieve cost points below DSL, and
9
Cable based broadband access networks. These new systems will consume less power, require a much smaller printed circuit board (PCB), provide higher reliability and be interoperable with legacy equipment.
Market Opportunity
For the millions of people worldwide who cannot get access to broadband connectivity via cable or DSL, the relatively new IEEE 802.16a wireless technology will enable a “third pipe” to connect to the many benefits of the Internet. The standard provides high-speed wireless connection to the Internet and is a good choice for places where obstacles, such as trees and buildings impede services quality. WiMAX technology provides flexibility not possible with wired services, such as high-speed backhaul (wireless links) for events such as trade shows, with hundreds or even thousands of wireless Internet connections. On demand connectivity also could benefit businesses such as construction companies that have sporadic or nomadic connectivity needs. WiMAX is planning to create an extension to the current standard, which will introduce nomadic capabilities that let users connect while roaming outside their home se rvice areas.
The demand from consumers for wireless broadband services is fueling the market opportunity for broadband equipment providers to develop and deploy BWA systems are also enabling new opportunities for semiconductor companies that provide silicon chips that are the bulk of the costs associated with wireless networking equipment. Patrick Gelsinger, the Chief Technology Officer at Intel has said:
“Silicon will allow it (802.16a) to be cost-effective; silicon will allow it to be powerful; silicon will allow it to be ubiquitous; silicon is the enabler.” “Intel Tunes in a Radio Future”, by Ed Fruanheim, CNET New.com, September 18, 2003; http://news.com.com/2101-7337_3-5078947.htm.
Market Growth
The market opportunity for silicon suppliers that are targeting BWA applications is attractive in terms of size, scalability, and long-term sustainability. The applications for WiMAX based equipment are numerous, and in many cases the most efficient solution to the current problems associated with these applications. Allied Business Intelligence (ABI) estimates that the sales of BWA equipment will surpass $1.5B by 2008, and the majority will be WiMAX based. One example of the market opportunity is the growth projections in the number of individual broadband wireless subscribers. This example defines a market opportunity of tens of millions of subscribers, each representing a single unit of Total Available Market (TAM) for RF Odyssey’s products. As each subscriber will require a “Subscriber Station unit” similar to cable modems or DSL modems that are currently used for wired broadband access.
Demand creation is considered by the management team to be a competitive advantage, and this is evident in the company’s sales strategy. The team has designed a multi-tier program that includes the deployment of a direct team of field sales engineers and applications managers, the use of independent representatives that own relationships with the targeted customer base. This representation network is worldwide and is complimented by the addition of a global semiconductor distributor. High impact participation in the demand creation process is provided by the management team that is expected to be an integral part in developing, managing and maintaining strong customer ties.
Along with demand creation, RF Odyssey is developing competitive advantages in the areas of low-cost RF CMOS based product technology, highly integrated RFICs, and expertise in bringing complex products to market swiftly that are highly market oriented. It is RF Odyssey’s focused strategy that will allow the long-term sustainability of these advantages; including, the commitment to RF CMOS technology, expertise in broadband wireless systems, and the vision of becoming the dominant provider of RFICs to the BWA market segment. The value growth of the company’s IP portfolio will allow RF Odyssey to leverage its strong market position in the WiMAX sector to expand into new growth oriented markets. Allied Business Intelligence released a report last year that concluded broadband wireless access equipment sales are

expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2008 and that WiMAX is one driving force for such anticipated revenue growth. “Broadband wireless spending expected to boom.”, by Dawn Kawamoto, CNET New.com, October 16, 2003; http:\\news.com.com/2102-7351_3-5092651.html
Sales Strategy
RF Odyssey will use a combination of direct and indirect sales channels in order to assist in creating demand for our products. The direct sales channel will be comprised of a team of 3 employees that will be responsible for supporting the sales function at the company’s most strategic customers. These are customer prospects that are leaders in their market, and that could provide RF Odyssey with product sales in excess of $5,000,000 per year. RF Odyssey’s plans for the development of an indirect sales channel will be created though the execution of contract sales agreements with independent sales agents throughout North America, Asia, South America, and Europe. These agents will be compensated on a sales commission basis, in most cases 5% of gross sales volume, and are established in their local markets and own relationships with the target customer base within their respective regions. In addition to the sales agen ts network, RF Odyssey intends to enter into a global distribution agreement with one of the industries global semiconductor distributors. The distribution partner will provide inventory management and other logistics services for our customer base, on a global basis. RF Odyssey is confident that a distribution agreement with a semiconductor distributor will be entered into based on relationships that RF Odyssey’s management team has with such companies. Our management believes that this strategy will enable us to penetrate the market effectively and cost efficiently, in order to accomplish our sales revenue projections.

Competitive Edge
RF Odyssey is attempting to develop a competitive advantage through the utilization of leading edge design tools and methodologies, in order to produce IC designs that consume less power, require smaller silicon area, and are thus more cost effective to manufacture.
+ Highly integrated RFICs
RF Odyssey is enhancing its market advantages by offering BWA equipment vendors a highly integrated product that enables these companies to reduce the overall number of components that are required in order to produce WiMax compliant equipment, thus significantly reducing system costs, facilitating swifter time to market, and enhanced quality and security of the equipment. RF Odyssey’s competitors have competitive solutions that are based on the need for multiple semiconductor devices in order to perform the same functions as the RF Odyssey products, which are based on a single chip solution.
+Rapid time to market
By creating a flexible infrastructure model, we are confident that we can provide cost effective solutions to the market while not compromising our profitability objectives. In addition, by emphasizing variable cost operational models, we can also react quickly to the ever-changing market dynamics. We areutilizing an outsourcing strategy for a portion of the sales, operations, and manufacturing requirements.
+ Demand Creation expertise
The worldwide deployment of direct and indirect sales and applications support channels such as independent sales agents and global semiconductor distributors will ensure effective customer development, and provide valuable market intelligence that is applied to future product development plans, competitive positioning, and overall market assessments.
+ Low cost CMOS manufacturing process
This is accomplished through the utilization of RF CMOS technology, which provides several advantages over traditional RF IC manufacturing processes such as BiCMOS, and Silicon Geranium.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION
RF Odyssey does not have sufficient cash resources to commence its operations. Our general operating costs for the first twelve (12) months from commencement of operations will be $10.5 million. We will have to raise additional capital, either through debt, equity or a combination of both before we can commence our operations. We may also acquire other assets through the issuance of stock. No assurances can be given that such efforts will be successful. We have no specific plans at present for raising additional capital or acquiring other assets.
The following is the history and projected future activities of the Company in milestone format.
Milestone:
Additional capital could be required in the case where RF Odyssey fails to generate sufficient revenues from software sales to offset its operational costs. RF Odyssey may also need to raise additional capital in the case where the Company desires to acquire another company and the other company’s shareholders demand cash for their shares. While RF Odyssey management will always consider merger and acquisition candidates to grow RF Odyssey for the benefit of its shareholders, there are currently no merger and acquisition candidates known to RF Odyssey.
In the next twelve months, RF Odyssey intends to pursue arrangements for the listing of its securities on the OTC/Bulletin Board, the establishment of its stated business operations, and marketing of the web-based software. There can be no assurance we will achieve these objectives, or any one of them.
If these objectives are met, then RF Odyssey expects to be able to generate revenues and operate profitably without raising further equity. There can be no assurance we will achieve these objectives, or any one of them.
Results of Operations for Period Ended June 30, 2004
As the Company has only recently been incorporated and begun operations, there are no revenues to report and none are expected until the latter part of calendar year 2005, if at all.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $54,408 for the year ended June 30, 2004, and there are no comparative results as the Company was only recently formed. We expect such
Foreign Currency Translation
RF Odyssey has not engaged in activities to mitigate the effects of foreign currency translation. However, since our current level of activity is minimal, we do not expect that changes in the US/Canadian dollar exchange rate will materially impact our net income for the period from inception (March 2, 2004) to June 30, 2004. We incurred losses of $915 for foreign currency translation adjustment.
Sources Of Cash and Current Cash Position
Through June 30, 2004, we had received share subscriptions for $29,500 of shares of our common stock. Through September 30, 2004, we had received additional subscriptions for $15,500. These proceeds from such subscriptions will not be enough to meet RF Odyssey's operating needs. RF Odyssey will need to raise approximately $10 million to fully implement its business plan.
13
RF Odyssey hopes to raise these funds from private placements of shares of its common stock. No Agreement has been reached with an underwriter for such placement nor has RF Odyssey set a price for such offering. Therefore, it is impossible to currently estimate the dilution that will occur to RF Odyssey's shareholders as a result of such private placement.
Based on the subscription agreements received, totaling $45,000, RF Odyssey believes that it can continue its current level of operations for another six (6) months.
C. Research and development, patents and licenses
RF Odyssey Development has not undertaken any research and development that has resulted in the incurrence of any costs. RF Odyssey Development will not be filing for any patent, trademark and trade name protection. It will be relying on applicable copyright laws for the protection of its proprietary software.
A.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS
The Company does not have any shareholders that own 5% or more of our common stock, other than our executive directors, whose share ownership information is provided above under"ITEM 6. DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES”. Therefore no information regarding our major shareholders is provided here.
B. Related Party Transactions
Since the date of inception, RF Odyssey has not entered into any transactions in which a director or executive officer or nominee for election as a director, or any member of the immediate family of any director or executive officer of RF Odyssey had a direct or indirect material interest.
ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING
A. Offer and Listing Details
The shares offered hereunder by the selling shareholders consist of 4,500,000 common shares of RF Odyssey. It is expected that the selling shareholders will sell the shares at various times during the period in which this prospectus is part of an effective registration statement. It is expected that most of the sales will take place on the OTC/BB if the Company is successful in getting its shares approved for quotation on the OTC/BB, as discussed in paragraph"C. Markets"below, and will take place at prices determined by the market.
16
B. Plan of Distribution
There are no entities underwriting or guaranteeing the offering of the securities described in this registration statement. RF Odyssey is not aware that any of its major shareholders, directors, or members of its management, supervisory or administrative bodies intend to subscribe in the offering or whether any personintends to subscribe to more than 5% of the offering. RF Odyssey is not aware of any particular group or potential investors that may have been targeted by the selling shareholders for this offering. RF Odyssey is not aware of the reservation for allocation to any group off targeted investors, including for example offerings to existing shareholders directors, or employees and past employees of RF Odyssey or its subsidiaries.
The amount of shares offered hereunder cannot be increased. As described above, under“Offer and Listing Details”¸ it is anticipated that sales of the shares offered hereunder will be conducted primarily in market transactions by the selling shareholders. To that extent, each selling shareholder would most likely engage the services of a broker or dealer at his or her discretion to offer and sell the shares owned by such selling shareholder.
C. Markets
Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. Accordingly, there is no public market for the securities. We plan to seek approval for our common stock to be quoted on the OTC/BB, once our registration statement in which this prospectus is included has become effective. Approval of quotation of our common shares on the OTC/BB is not within our control and thus it is possible that we may not ever have our common stock traded in a public market. There is no trading activity in our securities and there can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our Common Stock will ever be developed.
A market maker sponsoring a company's securities is required for approval for quotation of securities on the OTCBB. If we are unable to obtain a market maker for our securities, we will be unable to develop a trading market for our common stock. We may be unable to locate a market maker that will agree to sponsor our securities. Even if we do locate a market maker, there is no assurance that our securities will be able to meet the requirements for a quotation on the OTC/BB.
OTC/BB securities are not listed nor traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC/BB securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC/BB stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
However, broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our Shares because they will be considered penny stocks and will be subject to the penny stock rules.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on brokers-dealers who make a market in a "penny stock." A penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Assuming we get our shares are approved for quotation on the OTC/BB, purchases and sales of our shares are expected to be generally facilitated by broker-dealers who will act as market makers for our shares. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon brokers-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
17
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transactions is otherwise exempt.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
D. Selling Shareholders
Following is a list of selling shareholders whose shares are being registered and offered by this registration statement, which list includes each selling shareholder's name, the amount of securities owned by each selling shareholder prior to the offering, the amount to be offered for the selling shareholder account and the amount and percentage of the class to be owned both before and after the offering is complete, if more than 1%. None of the selling shareholders has ever held any position, office or other material relationship with RF Odyssey or affiliates.

RF Odyssey’s By-Law provides that the Board of Directors may at any time call a special meeting of shareholders. Only the registered holders of shares, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given, are entitled to receive notice of and vote at annual and special meetings of shareholders.
The only persons entitled to be present at a meeting of shareholders are:
(a) the Shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting;
(b) the Directors;
(c) the auditor of RF Odyssey ; and
(d) any others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under any provision of the CBCA, any unanimous shareholder agreement, the Articles or the by-laws to be present at the meeting.
22
Any other person may be admitted only on the invitation of the Chairperson of the meeting or with the consent of the meeting.
6. There are no restrictions in RF Odyssey’s Articles or By-Law on the number of shares that may be held by non-residents other than restrictions set out in the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (which is discussed below under “D. Exchange Controls”.
7. There are no specific provisions in the Articles or By-Law of RF Odyssey that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of RF Odyssey and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving RF Odyssey (or any of its subsidiaries).
8. There are no provisions in RF Odyssey’s By-Law regarding public disclosure of individual shareholdings.
9. Not applicable.
10. Not applicable.
C. Material Contracts
As of the date of this prospectus, RF Odyssey has not entered into any material contracts.
D. Exchange Controls
There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-residents. Dividends paid to U.S. residents, however, are subject to a 15% withholding tax or a 5% withholding tax for dividends if the shareholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of the outstanding voting shares of RF Odyssey pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the U.S.
Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “ICA”), which has provisions that restrict the holding of voting shares by non-Canadians, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the common shares under the laws of Canada or in the charter documents of RF Odyssey or its subsidiaries.
Management of RF Odyssey believes that the following summary fairly describes those provisions of the ICA pertinent to an investment in RF Odyssey by a person who is not a Canadian resident (a “non-Canadian”).
The ICA requires a non-Canadian making an investment which would result in the acquisition of control of a Canadian business (i.e. the gross value of the assets of which exceed a certain monetary threshold) to identify, notify, or file an application for review with the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada (“IRD”).
The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form which is required to be filed with the IRD by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementation of the investment. It is intended that investments requiring only notification will proceed without government intervention unless the investment is in a specific type of business activity related to Canada’s cultural heritage and national identity.
23
If an investment is reviewable under the ICA, an application for review in the form prescribed is normally required to be filed with the IRD prior to the investment taking place and the investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister of Industry Canada (“Minister”) (the Minister responsible for Investment Canada) is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. The Minister has up to 75 days to make this determination. If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, may be required to divest himself of control of the business that is the subject of the investment.
The following investments by non-Canadians are subject to notification under the ICA:
1.
An investment to establish a new Canadian business; and
2.
An investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that is not reviewable pursuant to the Act.
The following investments by a non-Canadian are subject to review under the ICA:
1.
An investment is reviewable if there is an acquisition of a Canadian business and the asset value of the Canadian business being acquired equals or exceeds the following thresholds:
(a)
For non-World Trade Organization (“WTO”) investors, the threshold is $5 million for a direct acquisition and $50 million for an indirect acquisition; the $5 million threshold will apply however for an indirect acquisition if the asset value of the Canadian business being acquired exceeds 50% of the asset value of the global transaction;
(b)
Except as specified in paragraph (c) below, a threshold is calculated annually for reviewable direct acquisitions by or from WTO investors. The threshold for 2004 is $227 million. Pursuant to Canada’s international commitments, indirect acquisitions by or from WTO investors are not reviewable;
(c)
The limits set out in paragraph (a) apply to all investors for acquisitions of a Canadian business that:
(i)
engages in the production of uranium and owns an interest in a producing uranium property in Canada;
(ii)
provides any financial service;
(iii)
provides any transportation services; or
(iv)
is a cultural business.
2.
Notwithstanding the above, any investment which is usually only notifiable, including the establishment of a new Canadian business, and which falls within a specific business activity, including the publication and distribution of books, magazines, newspapers, film or video recordings, audio or video music recordings, or music in print or machine-readable form may be reviewed if an Order-in-Council directing a review is made and a notice is sent to the Investor within 21 days following the receipt of a certified complete notification.
Generally speaking, an acquisition is direct if it involves the acquisition of control of the Canadian business or of its direct or indirect Canadian parent and an acquisition is indirect if it involves the acquisition of control of a non-Canadian direct or indirect parent of an entity carrying on the Canadian business. No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.
24
A WTO investor, as defined in the ICA, includes an individual who is a national of a member country of the WTO or who has the right of permanent residence in relation that WTO member, a government or government agency of a WTO investor-controlled corporation, a limited partnership, trust or joint venture that is neither WTO-investor controlled or Canadian controlled of which two-thirds of its board of directors, general partners or trustees, as the case may be, are any combination of Canadians and WTO investors.
The ICA exempts certain transactions from the notification and review provisions of ICA, including, among others, (a) an acquisition of voting shares if the acquisition were made in the ordinary course of that persons’ business as a trader or dealer in securities; (b) an acquisition of control of the company in connection with the realization of a security interest granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the ICA; (c) the acquisition of voting interests by any person in the ordinary course of a business carried on by that person that consists of providing, in Canada, venture capital on terms and conditions not inconsistent with such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the Minister; and (d) acquisition of control of the company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the company, through the ownership of voting interests, remains unchanged.
E. Dividends and Paying Agents
All shares of Common Stock are entitled to participate proportionally in dividends if our Board of Directors declares them out of the funds legally available and subordinate to the rights of the holders of loan or other financing documents. These dividends may be paid in cash, property or additional shares of Common Stock. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and presently anticipate that all earnings will be retained for development of our business. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the Common Stock will be paid in the future.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the forgoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

PART II
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 124 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, as amended, provides as follows:
(1) Indemnification. Except with respect to an action by or on behalf of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or a person who acts or acted at the corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him with respect to any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of such corporation or body corporate, if
(a) he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; and
(b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.
(2) Indemnification in derivative actions. A corporation may with the approval of a court indemnify a person referred to in sub-section (1) with respect to an action by or on behalf of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the corporation or body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action if he fulfils the conditions set out in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b).
(3) Indemnity as of right. Notwithstanding anything in this section, a person referred to in subsection (1) is entitled to indemnity from the corporation with respect to all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or body corporate, if the person seeking indemnity:
(a) was substantially successful on the merits in his defence of the action or proceeding; and
(b) fulfils the conditions set out in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b).
(4) Directors' and officers' insurance. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in subsection (1) against any liability incurred by him
(a) in his capacity as a director or officer of the corporation, except where the liability relates to his failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; or
(b) in his capacity as a director or officer of another body corporate where he acts or acted in that capacity at the corporation's request, except where the liability relates to his failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the body corporate.
(5) Application to court. A corporation or a person referred to in subsection (1) may apply to a court for an order approving an indemnity under this section and the court may so order and make any further order it thinks fit.
(6) Notice to director. An applicant under subsection (5) shall give the Director notice of the application and the Director is entitled to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.
28
(7) Other notice. On an application under subsection (5), the court may order notice to be given to any interested person and such person is entitled to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.
Section 7.02 of Bylaw No. 1 of RF Odyssey provides as follows:
7.02. Indemnity. Subject to the limitations contained in the Act, the Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any liability on behalf of the Corporation or any such body corporate), and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgement, reasonably incurred by him with respect to any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or such body corporate, if
(a) he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; and
(b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.
RF Odyssey does not carry any liability insurance for coverage for its officers and directors. However, RF Odyssey’s By-law No. 1 allows RF Odyssey to purchase such coverage at the election of the Board of Directors.
In addition, indemnification may not be available to directors or officers under Canadian law if any act or omission by a director or officer amounted to a failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, if the director or officer did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. Due to the lack of applicable case law, it is not clear whether indemnification is available in the case of a breach of securities laws of the United States.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the U.S. Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling RF Odyssey pursuant to the foregoing provisions, RF Odyssey has been informed that in the opinion of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, the indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against the liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings, is asserted by the director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether the indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be govern ed by the final adjudication of the issues.

To the Stockholders,
RF Odyssey Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of RF Odyssey Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of June 30, 2004 and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency for the period from March 2, 2004 (Date of Incorporation) to June 30, 2004. 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 auditing standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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, these financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RF Odyssey Inc. as of June 30, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from March 2, 2004 (Date of Incorporation) to June 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1
Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company is in the development stage and is seeking new business activities.
These financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in US dollars. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
F-9
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 7.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates amounts from its functional currency, Canadian dollars, to the reporting currency, United States dollars (“US dollars”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52. “Foreign Currency Translation”. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than US dollars are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate which may give rise to a foreign currency translation adjustment accounted for as a separate component of stockholders’ deficiency and included in comprehensive loss.
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
Foreign Currency Translation (cont’d)
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities assumed. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rate approximating the rate of exchange on the transaction date. All exchange gains and losses on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the period.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (“FAS 109”). Under the assets and liability method of FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
F-10
Basic Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Fair value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of advances to related parties, share subscriptions receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Comprehensive Loss
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.
