We will service all of the contracts we obtain from vacuum cleaner vendors. Other than Tristar Cleaning Systems, Rainbow Cleaning Systems, Kirby Cleaning Systems, we have not identified any other vacuum cleaner vendors. We have identified Citywide Funding as an administrator of vacuum cleaner contracts that sells delinquent accounts to account receivable managers. We have not entered into any negotiations or purchased any contracts from any of the foregoing and there is no assurance that we ever will. Servicing generally consists of payment and pay-off processing, collecting, tracking, repossessing and reselling collateral, collection reporting and credit performance monitoring.
Payments we receive from debtors will be deposited, on a daily basis, in a separate account at a commercial bank. A simultaneous electronic data transfer of debtor's payment data is made to us for posting to our computerized records. Our proposed collection process will be based on a strategy of closely monitoring contracts and maintaining frequent contact with debtors. As part of this process, we will make early, frequent contact with debtors and attempt to educate borrowers on how to manage monthly budgets. We will attempt to identify the underlying causes of a debtor's delinquency and to make an early collection risk assessment. We believe that our intended proactive collection process, including the identification of payment problems, will reduce our repossession rates. In support of our collection efforts, we intend to maintain collection software with collection operations, which will include a high-penetration autodialer. With the aid of the autodialer, after we have made arrangements with the debtor to make payments, we will attempt to contact any debtor whose account becomes six days past due. Although we will emphasize telephonic contact, we will also typically send past due notices to debtors when an account becomes ten days past due. In some cases, we intend to use the Western Union Quick Collection Service to collect borrower's payments and to reduce the incidence of bad checks. Western Union Quick Collection is a nationwide process whereby a debtor is required to deliver cash to a Western Union office for payment of a debt. The receiving Western Union then transfers the money to a related Western Union office as requested by the creditor.
If a borrower has current financial difficulties, but has previously demonstrated a positive history of payment on the contract, we will permit a payment extension of not more than two months during the term of a contract. Extensions will never exceed 2% of our contracts in our portfolio. Further, we will permit only one extension over the term of a contract and we will neither restructure contracts nor forbear any payments on contracts.
We will make voluntary repossessions of a vacuum cleaner when resolution of a delinquency is not likely or when the we believe that the collateral is at risk. We make these judgments based upon our discussions with borrowers, the ability or inability to locate the borrowers or the vacuum cleaner, and other information. When a vacuum cleaner is repossessed, it will be sold through a private sale of the repossession, if possible. We will use our own staff to pursue recoveries of deficiency balances. We expect to incur a loss whenever we will have to repossess a vacuum cleaners. When we sell a repossessed vacuum cleaner, we record a net loss equal to the outstanding balance of the contract, less the proceeds from the sale of the vacuum cleaners. If an account becomes 120 days delinquent (other
than accounts in bankruptcy) and we have repossessed the vacuum cleaner, but not yet received the sale proceeds, we will record a loss equal to the outstanding contract balance, less the estimated value of the vacuum cleaners.
Management Information Systems
We intend to rely on automated information management and data processing systems to maximize productivity, minimize credit losses and maintain data integrity. We will acquire hardware comprised of three computers. The three computers will cost $10,000. The software for the system is going to be created at a cost ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 to $30,000 and includes a universal loan accounting package for all aspects of our loan accounting and payment processing, and a collection software. $10,000 will give us a system that will allow us to operate at the minimum collection level. The more we spend, the more sophisticated the system. A system that would handle all of our needs and include other related benefits for us will cost up to $30,000
A basic software system that can be purchased for $10,000 will include features that hand trust accounting such as payments, adjustments, insufficient funds reversals, set-up fees, trust account adjustments, direct payments, commissions, client statements and direct payment invoices.
As more money is spent on the system, additional features can be added. If we spend $20,000 we will be able to add the following features: automatic dunning notices, collector contact information, payment planning process, and payment receipt processing.
If we spend $30,000 we will be able to add auto dialing, password and menu level security, check remittence history, collector productivity tracking, credit bureau reporting, contact scheduling with the debtor, debtor reminders of payment obligations, and post dated check processing.
If we receive the maximum amount of our offering, we intend to install an imaging system to make contract documents available on-screen and to decrease data entry costs. The specific cost of the imaging system is $20,000 and is included in the $30,000 allocated for software if the maximum amount of the proceeds is raised in this offering.
Government Regulation
We intend to conduct our business in Colorado, initially. We will be required to file a notification with the State of Colorado under the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes 5-6-201-203. An annual fee of $20.00 plus an annual volume fee are required. The annual volume fee is $12.00 for each $100,000, or part thereof, collected. Colorado does not regulate our proposed activities beyond the notification now disclosed.
If we expand to other states, in general, we will have to obtain and maintain licenses and registrations required by certain states' sales finance company laws and/or laws regulating purchases of installment or conditional sales contracts. We intend to obtain and maintain any and all additional qualifications, registrations and licenses necessary for the lawful conduct of its business and operations. Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws, including the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, and retail installment sales acts, retail installment sales acts and other similar laws regulate the origination and collection of consumer receivables and
- 19 -
impact the Company's business. The relevant laws, among other things, (A) require us to (i) obtain and maintain certain licenses and qualifications, (ii) limit the finance charges, fees and other charges on the contracts purchased and (iii) provide specified disclosures to consumers; (B) limit the terms of the contracts; (C) regulate the credit application and evaluation process; (D) regulate certain servicing and collection practices; and (E) regulate the repossession and sale of collateral. These laws impose specific statutory liabilities upon creditors who fail to comply with their provisions and may give rise to an affirmative defense to payment of the consumer's obligation. In addition, certain of the laws make the assignee of a consumer installment contract liable for the violations of the assignor.
The failure to comply with such laws could have a material adverse effect upon us.
If a borrower defaults on a contract, we as the owner of the contract are entitled to exercise the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or UCC as it is commonly referred to, which typically includes the right to repossession by self-help means unless such means would constitute a breach of peace. Under the UCC and other laws applicable in most states, a creditor is entitled, subject to possible prohibitions or limitations, to obtain a deficiency judgment from a borrower for any deficiency on repossession and resale of the vacuum cleaners securing the unpaid balance of the borrower's installment contract. Since a deficiency judgment against a borrower would be a personal judgment for the shortfall, and the defaulting borrower may have very little capital or few sources of income, in many cases it is not prudent to seek a deficiency judgment against a borrower or, if one is obtained, it may be settled at a significant discount.
Certain of our operations are subject to the Federal Debt Collections Procdures Act (""FDCPA"") and comparable statutes in many states. Under the FDCPA, a third-party collection agency is restricted in the methods it uses to collect consumer debt. For example, a third-party collection agency (1) is limited in communicating with persons other than the consumer about the consumer's debt, (2) may not telephone at inconvenient hours, and (3) must provide verification of the debt at the consumer's request. Requirements under state collection agency statutes vary, with most requiring compliance similar to that required under the FDCPA. In addition, most states and certain municipalities require collection agencies to be licensed with the appropriate authorities before collecting debts from debtors within those jurisdictions. We intend to establish policies to comply with the provisions of the FDCPA, comparable state statutes and applicable licensing requirements. We also intend to establish policies and proc edures to reduce the likelihood of violations of the FDCPA and related state statutes.
Insurance
We do not maintain any insurance relating to our business or operations.
Marketing
Initially, we intend to market our services in the United States through traditional sources such as trade magazines, conventions and conferences, newspaper advertising, billboards, telephone directories and flyers / mailers primarily to other purchasers of class ""C"" commercial paper. We also intend to make personal contact with potential clients which may require us to travel and entertain potential customers. The extent of our marketing program will be based upon the amount of money we raise in this offering.
- 20 -
Competition
The accounts receivable management industry is highly fragmented and competitive. Competition is based largely on recovery rates, industry experience and reputation and service fees. Large volume creditors typically employ more than one accounts receivable management company at one time, and often compare performance rate and rebalance account placements towards higher performing servicers.
Our competitive position in the industry is non-existent and will be until we begin operations. Upon beginning operations, we believe our position will be minuscule. Initially, we intend to compete with other accounts receivable managers by using personal contact, with assurances of prompt, efficient service. If we able to attract business, we intend to be diligent in our operations in order to maintain our new relationship and to encourage the client to turn more accounts over to us.
Employees
We are a start-up stage company and currently have no employees, other than our officers and directors. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. 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. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are a start-up stage corporation and have not started operations or generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not purchased any contracts or generated any revenues from the development. We believe the technical aspects of our website will be sufficiently developed to use for our operations 90 days from the completion of our offering. We must raise cash from operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our project and begin our operations. Even if we raise the maximum amount of money in this offering, we do not know how long the money will last, however, we do believe it will last twelve months. We will not begin operations until we raise money from this offering.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee that once we begin operations we will stay in business after operations have commenced. Further, if we are unable to attract enough clients to utilize our services, we may quickly use up the proceeds from the minimum amount of money from this offering and will need to find alternative
- 21 -
sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others in order for us to maintain our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. If we raise the minimum amount of money from this offering, it will last a year but with limited funds available to develop growth strategy. If we raise the maximum amount, we believe the money will last a year and also provide funds for growth strategy. If we raise less than the maximum amount and we need more money we will have to revert to obtaining additional money as described in this paragraph. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
Plan of Operation
Assuming we raise the minimum amount in this offering, we believe we can satisfy our cash requirements during the next 12 months. We will not be conducting any product research or development. We do not expect to purchase or sell significant equipment. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.
We intend to accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:
- Complete our public offering. We will expend our entire efforts to raising money. This could take up to 270 days from the date of this prospectus. We will not begin operations until we have closed this offering. We intend to concentrate all of our efforts on raising as much capital as we can during this period. This milestone is based upon our officers' and directors' previous and current work experiences as well as their life experiences.
- After completing the offering, we will rent an office and obtain the necessary software to begin servicing the contracts. Establishing our office will take two to three weeks from the completion of our public offering. We believe that it will cost $20,000 to acquire the equipment and software to begin operations. We have allocated $500.00 per month for office rent. We intend to hire employees as needed. Our officers and directors will handle our administrative duties. This milestone is based upon our officers' and directors' previous and current work experiences as well as their life experiences.
- We intend to initiate marketing operations within approximately 20-30 days from setting up our office. We believe that it will cost a minimum of $20,000 for our marketing campaign. If we raise the maximum amount of proceeds from the offering, we will devote $60,000 to our marketing program. Initially, we intend to market our services in the state of Colorado, through traditional sources such as trade magazines, conventions and conferences, newspaper advertising, billboards, telephone directories and flyers / mailers primarily to other purchasers of class ""C"" commercial paper. We also intend to make personal contact with potential clients which may require us to travel and entertain potential customers. The extent of our marketing program will be based upon the amount of money we raise in this offering. If we raise more than the minimum, we intend to spend more on the quality of the advertisements as well as the volume of advertisements. Marketing is an ongoing matter that will continue during the life of our operations. We also believe that we should begin to see results from our marketing campaign within 30 days from its initiation, or 90 days from setting up our office. This
- 22 -
milestone is based upon our officers' and directors' previous and current work experiences as well as their life experiences.
- Within 90 days or less from establishing our office, we will begin servicing contracts. This milestone is based upon our officers' and directors' previous and current work experiences as well as their life experiences.
In summary, we should be in full operation and receiving orders within 90 days of completing our offering.
If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else. If this occurs, you will lose all of your investment.
Limited operating history; need for additional capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of operations
From Inception on August 23, 2004 to February 28, 2005
During this period we incorporated the company, hired the attorney, and hired the auditor for the preparation of this prospectus. We have prepared an internal business plan. Our loss since inception is $20,804 of which $15,000 is for legal fees, $5,707 for audit and accounting fees; and $97 is for filing fees and general office costs. We have not started our proposed business operations and will not do so until we have completed this offering. We expect to begin operations 100 days after we complete this offering.
Since inception, we sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and directors for $100.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of the date of this registration statement, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section 4(2) offering in August 2004. This was accounted for as a sale of common stock.
- 23 -
As of February 28, 2005, our total assets were $203 in cash and our total liabilities were $20,907 comprised of an officer loan of $18,200 and accounts payable of $2,707. Scott D. McDowell, our president, loaned us the sum of $18,600 to pay for legal, accounting and other expenses associated with the this offering. The amount due Mr. McDowell will not be repaid from the proceeds of this offering, but will only be paid from revenues generated from our operations. The loan is without interest and the agreement with Mr. McDowell is oral. There is no written documentation evidencing the same.
Upon this registgration statement being declared effective by the SEC, we will be obligated to pay Mr. Lysiak $10,000. This is in addition to $15,000 we have already paid him. We will pay the balance due Mr. Lysiak from the proceeds of this offering.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC"). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company' s audited financial statements for the period ended August 30, 2004. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the six month period ended February 28, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 30, 2005.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company' s financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Bulldog Financial, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company' s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151," Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 151"). This statement amends the guidance in

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |

|
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," by clarifying that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and by requiring the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this Statement will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, " Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 152"), which amends FASB Statement No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions" (hereinafter "SOP 04-2"). This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects" to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this Statement will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29," (hereinafter "SFAS No. 153"). This statement eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payments" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123 (R)"). This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123 (R) establishes standards for the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based award,

share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123 (R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grand date (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized in the entity' s financial statements over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Management has not currently evaluated the impact of adoption on its overall results of operations or financial position.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
At February 28, 2005 and August 31, 2004, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, at the reporting date, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," may include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, reasonably approximates fair value at February 28, 2005 and August 31, 2004.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 109"). Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
At February 28, 2005, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 34% of approximately $7,000, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at February 28, 2005. The significant components of the deferred tax asset are as follows for the rates shown:
| | February 28, | | August 31, |
| | 2005
| | 2004
|
| | | | |
Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 20,804
| $ | 18,000
|
Deferred tax asset | $ | 7,000 | $ | 6,000 |
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance | $ | (7,000) | $ | (6,000) |
At February 28, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $20,804, which expire in the years 2015 through 2020. The change in the valuation allowance from August 31, 2004 to February 28, 2005 was $1,000.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from contracts (1) upon actual sale (disposition) of such contracts and (2) upon actual cash collections from ongoing contracts. With these two types of revenue sources, revenue is thereby recorded when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the contract price is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured (or, in the case of ongoing contracts, actually collected).

Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,097 incurred through February 28, 2005. The Company has no revenues, limited cash, and negative working capital, nor has this situation changed substantially since our last audit, and was disclosed in the auditor's report for the period ended August 31, 2004. Management has established plans to begin generating revenues and decrease debt. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot conti nue in existence.
The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services and the availability of opportunities for international expansion through affiliations and other business relationships.
NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.
In its initial capitalization in August 2004, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock for a total of $100 cash.
During the six months ended February 28, 2005, the Company did not issue any additional common stock.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Accounts payable to related parties represents amounts due to the president and chief executive officer for payment of expenses on behalf of the Company. These payables are non-interest bearing and non-collateralized.
The Company also uses office space of the Company's president and chief executive officer and pays no rent. The value of this space is considered immaterial for financial reporting purposes at February 28, 2005 and August 31, 2004. There is no rental agreement and the Company has plans to locate to a permanent office in the near future.

Golden, Colorado
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Bulldog Financial, Inc. (a development stage enterprise and Nevada Corporation) as of August 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from August 23, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bulldog Financial, Inc., (a development stage enterprise) as of August 31, 2004 and the results of its operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from August 23, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception on August 23, 2004, has negative working capital, and no revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bulldog Financial, Inc. (hereinafter "The Company") was incorporated on August 23, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada for any lawful business. The principal business of the Company is accounts receivable management. The Company expects to purchase defaulted contracts from lenders and to pursue collections from the contract debtors.
The Company is in the development stage and as of August 31, 2004 had not realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company's year-end is August 31.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Bulldog Financial, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Account Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards no. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the statement will affect its financial statements.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities: (hereinafter "SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after December 31, 2003 and for hedging

relationships designated after December 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have an impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company as the Company does not anticipate engaging in derivative or hedging activities.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 148 (hereinafter "SFAS No. 148") on "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." This statement provides alternative methods of transition for companies that choose to switch to the fair value method of accounting for stock options. SFAS No. 148 also makes changes in the disclosure requirements for stock-based compensation, regardless of which method of accounting is chosen. Under the new standard, companies must report certain types of information more prominently and in a more understandable format in the footnotes to the financial statements, and this information must be included in interim as well as annual financial statements. The Company has not had any stock based compensation and therefore there are no disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
At August 31, 2004, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, at the reporting date, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," may include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, reasonably approximates fair value at August 31, 2004.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
At August 31, 2004, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 34% of approximately $6,000, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at August 31, 2004. The significant components of the deferred tax asset at August 31, 2004 were as follows:
| | |
Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 18,000
|
| | |
Deferred tax asset | $ | 6,000 |
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance | $ | (6,000) |
At August 31, 2004, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,000, which expire in the year 2024. The allowance account has been recorded at $6,000.

Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue from contracts (1) upon actual sale (disposition) of such contracts and (2) upon actual cash collections for ongoing contracts. With these two types of revenue sources, revenue will thereby be recorded when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the contract price is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured (or, in the case of ongoing contracts, actually collected).
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,000 incurred through August 31, 2004. The Company has no revenues, limited cash, and negative working capital. Management has established plans to begin generating revenues and decrease debt. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. The Company anticipates that it will need $60,000 to continue in existence for the following twelve months. The Company will be able to control its cash outflows for contracts purchased based upon funds received.
NOTE 3 - CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.
In its initial capitalization in August 2004, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock for a total of $100 cash.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Accounts payable to related parties represents amounts due to the president and chief executive officer for payment of expenses on behalf of the Company. These payables are non-interest bearing and not collateralized.
The Company also uses office space of the Company's president and chief executive officer and pays no rent. The value of this space is considered immaterial for financial reporting purposes at August 31, 2004. There is no rental agreement and the Company has plans to locate to a permanent office in the near future.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is presently undertaking the required steps to register as a publicly traded company. In this regard, the Company has signed a contract with a securities attorney to assist in this matter. The total fees to be paid to the attorney amount to $25,000. Of this amount, $15,000 was paid when attorney services began and is recorded as legal fees in the accompanying financial statements. The remaining $10,000 will be due when the Company's registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 public 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. | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Not withstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. |
| | |
| c. | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any 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 which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
