PROSPECTUS SUMMARY AND RISK FACTORS
The Company
Olympic Weddings International, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Olympic”) was incorporated on November 9, 2004, in the State of Nevada. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1453 Johnston Road, #71510, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada, V4B 5J5. Our telephone number is (604) 506-8991. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no revenue or operations.
Olympic Weddings International, Inc. intends to develop a company that will provide personally guided travel tour wedding packages to be held at locations where the Olympic Games have been held. Olympic will source destination venues and add to the travel experience by combining guides and wedding planners that are able to provide an informative and educational background while planning and preparing for a wedding ceremony for the bride, the groom and their guests. Our officers and directors have related experience but do not have any direct experience with this type of company. Our company has no full-time employees at the present time. The officers and directors are responsible for all planning, developing and operational duties. They will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, which may restrict the growth of our company during the early stages.
We are a development stage company. We have not had any revenues or operations and we have few assets. Since incorporation, we have not made any significant purchases or sale of assets, nor have we been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. As at January 31, 2006 , our accumulated deficit was $ 9,768 .. We anticipate that we will operate in a deficit position and continue to sustain net losses for the foreseeable future.
We believe Olympic will require $13,000 in order to begin operations. Further, we believe we will require a minimum of $26,000 to remain operational and $60,000 to fully implement our business plan for the twelve-month period commencing upon effectiveness of this prospectus. Olympic is confident it can meet its financial obligations and pursue its plan of operations if it can either raise additional funding through this offering or achieve sales revenues within the twelve months after the effectiveness of this prospectus.
We do not currently have the $60,000 to fully implement our business plan and market our services, nor do we have a source to supply the necessary funding if we are unsuccessful in raising the capital through this offering. We do not expect to commence generating revenues until at least six months after completion of this offering of securities, assuming that all shares offered hereunder are sold.
In the event that we raise only a nominal amount of money from this offering – $2,500 or less – we will endeavor to proceed with our plan of operations by self financing from financial contributions from our founders. While the founders have generally indicated a willingness to provide services and financial contributions if necessary, there are presently no agreements, arrangements, commitments or specific understandings, verbally or in writing, between the founders and Olympic, nor any commitment to any minimum or maximum amount that they, individually or jointly, would be willing to provide. In the event that the Company requires additional outside funding, there are no anticipated sources of additional funds in place.

The Offering
Common Shares Outstanding Before This Offering | 3,300,000 |
Maximum Shares Being Offered | 600,000 |
Maximum Common Shares Outstanding After This Offering | 3,900,000 |
Olympic Weddings International, Inc. is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock. Current shareholders of Olympic and officers and directors collectively own 3,300,000 shares of restricted common stock. These shares were issued at an average price of approximately $0.00727 per share.
This offering consists of 600,000 shares of Olympic Weddings International, Inc. common stock (the “Offering”). The offering price is $0.10 per share. No officers, directors or significant investors own any of the shares being offered.
There is currently no public market for the common stock of Olympic, as it is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange.
Risk Factors
The securities offered hereby are highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in Olympic Weddings International, Inc. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.
Our Business Plan and Concept are Unproven and thus our Ability to Commence Significant Operations is Questionable.
We are unaware of any other business that operates or has operated with the same or similar business purpose as ours. Therefore, we have not way to judge whether or not our business plan is viable. Therefore, an investment in Olympic is very risky as our business model cannot be compared to any similar operations.
Failure to Secure Additional Financing May Affect our Company’s Ability to Survive.
If the securities being offered are not fully subscribed for, we may require additional financing in addition to the funds we hope to raise from the sale of shares offered under this prospectus in order to commence our operations. Such financing, if required, may not be forthcoming. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms we find favorable. Failure to secure the needed additional financing may have a serious effect on our Company's ability to survive. As of January 31, 2006 , our working capital was $ 14,232 of which we estimate $ 13 ,000 will be used to pay the remaining expenses of our offering. Our losses to that date totaled $ 9,768 ..
Inability of Our Officers and Directors to Devote Sufficient Time to the Operation of the Business May Limit Olympics’ Success.
Presently the officers and directors of the Company allocate only a portion of their time to Olympics’ business. When Olympic commences operations, our President, Mr. Brent Sheppard, will spend up to 40 hours a week towards the operations of Olympic. However, our other officers and directors, Mr. Patrick Wallace, our Secretary/Treasurer and Mr. Brian Pierson, will only be able to dedicate up to 20 hours a week.
If the business requires more time for operations than anticipated or the business develops faster than anticipated, the officers and directors may not be able to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business to ensure that it continues as a going concern. Even if this lack of sufficient time of our management is not fatal to Olympic’s existence it may result in limited growth and success of the business.
5t; font-family:Times New Roman" align=justify>Inability of the Company to Offer Certain Olympic Venues Due to Government Restrictions Which May Effect the Companies Ability to Survive.
Presently the company is targeting Olympic venues that are readily accessible. Although the company will continue to source acceptable venues, the chosen sites may become restricted due to the changing political climate in the host countries. If the business requires certain venues that prove to be unavailable, the company may not be able to fulfill
5
its obligations. Failure to fulfill contracted obligations may result in serious financial costs which may have a serious effect on our Company’s ability to survive.
Inability of the Company to Engage Wedding Planners at Olympic Venues Which May Effect the Companies Ability to Survive.
Olympic anticipates that wedding planners at the chosen host cities will be available to fulfill the necessary planning activities. If the company is unable to find acceptable wedding planners in some or all of the chosen Olympic sites the company will not be able to offer those chosen sites. Failure to use these sites may result in lost revenues which may have a serious effect on our company’s ability to survive.
Unproven Profitably Due to Lack of Operating History Makes an Investment in Olympic an Investment in an Unproven Venture.
Olympic Weddings International, Inc. was formed on November 9, 2004. As of this date, we do not have any revenues or operations, and we have few assets. We do not expect to commence generating revenues until at least six months after completion of the offering, assuming all of the shares offered are sold.
Due to our lack of operating history, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. If we cannot successfully implement our business strategies, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably. Since our resources are very limited, insufficient revenues may result in termination of our operations, as we cannot fund unprofitable operations, unless additional equity or debt financing is obtained.
With No Minimum Share Sale Requirement it is Possible that Olympic will Fail to Commence Operations Despite Having Raised some Funds from this Offering.
The offering is not subject to any minimum number of shares to be sold by Olympic. Consequently, the early investor is not assured of any other, later shares being sold. You may be the only purchaser. If Olympic fails to sell the entire offering, it may never commence operations and your investment would be lost.
We are dependent upon this offering to be able to implement our business plan and our lack of revenues and profits may make our obtaining additional capital more difficult. We presently have no significant operating capital and we are totally dependent upon receipt of the proceeds of this offering to provide the capital necessary to commence our proposed business. Upon completion of this offering, the amount of the capital available to us will still be extremely limited, especially if less than the total amount of the offering is raised since this is a best efforts basis offering. We have no commitments for additional funding. If we need and are unable to raise additional capital, then you may lose your entire investment.
Difficulty For Olympic Stockholders to Resell Their Stock Due to a Lack of Public Trading Market
There is presently no public trading market for our common stock, and it is unlikely that an active public trading market can be established or sustained in the foreseeable future. We intend to have our common stock quoted on the OTC / Bulletin Board as soon as practicable. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's shares will be quoted on the OTC / Bulletin Board. Until there is an established trading market, holders of our common stock may find it difficult to sell their stock or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of the common stock. If a market for our common stock does develop, our stock price may be volatile.
Our management currently controls Olympic and thus you will most likely not be able to influence the control of Olympic through elections to the Board of Directors.
Our management, collectively, currently owns all of our outstanding shares of common stock. Even if we are successful in selling all of the shares offered hereunder, our management will continue to own in the aggregate 84.6% of the total issued and outstanding shares. Therefore, our management will continue to retain control of the company following this offering .
6Our Independent Auditors’ Report States that there is a Substantial Doubt that we will be able to Continue as a Going Concern.
Our independent auditors, Miller and McCollom, a Registered Public Accounting Firm, state in their audit report, dated November 8, 2005, and included with this prospectus, that since we are a development stage company, have no established source of revenue and are dependent on our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
6
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from Effecting Transactions in our Shares Because they are Considered Penny Stocks and are Subject to the Penny Stock Rules.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD broker-dealers who make a market in "penny stocks". A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our shares currently are not traded on Nasdaq nor on any other exchange nor are they quoted on the OTC/Bulletin Board or “OTC/BB”.
Following the date that the registration statement, in which this prospectus is included, becomes effective we hope to find a broker-dealer to act as a market maker for our stock and file on our behalf with the NASD an application on Form 15c(2)(11) for approval for our shares to be quoted on the OTC/BB. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not attempted to find a market maker to file such application for us. If we are successful in finding such a market maker and successful in applying for quotation on the OTC/BB, it is very likely that our stock will be considered a “penny stock”. In that case, purchases and sales of our shares will be generally facilitated by NASD broker-dealers who act as market makers for our shares. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidi ty of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an institutional accredited investor 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 transaction 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.
In the event that Olympic is unable to have its Shares approved for Quotation on the OTC/BB, no public market for the resale of these shares will exist.
Upon the effective date of the registration statement in which this prospectus is included, Olympic intends to commence selling this offering. If Olympic is unable to obtain approval for the quotation of its shares on the OTC/BB, if you wish to resell shares purchased under this offering, there will be no public market for such shares. However, even if Olympic does obtain such approval, no assurance can be given that any public market for its shares will ever develop.
Any Investors from Canada that purchase shares of Olympic’s common stock may be subject to an indefinite hold period.
The securities offered by this prospectus are being offered in Canada under an applicable exemption to registration requirement Any investor that resides in Canada that purchases any of the securities offered under this prospectus cannot resell such securities in Canada (i) unless the sale is made pursuant to an available exemption from the prospectus and registration requirements under the securities legislation in the Canadian purchaser's province or territory of residence; or (ii) the required "hold" period under Canadian securities legislation has expired since the acquisition by it of the securities to be sold, which period does not begin until Olympic becomes a reporting issuer in a province in Canada. Since Olympic is not now nor does it anticipate becoming a reporting issuer in any province in Canada, a Canadian investor could be required to hold onto securities purchased under this prospectus for an indefinite period of time.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to raise $60,000 from the sale of 600,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. This Offering is for a maximum amount of $60,000 and no minimum sale requirement. Olympic has no intention to return any stock sales proceeds to investors if the maximum amount is not raised.
Readers will note that the Company has already raised a total of $24,000 from the sale of 3,300,000 shares of common stock. The total amount of $24,000 has been raised from the sale of stock to our affiliates, officers and directors; these shares sold are restricted and are not being registered in this offering. The offering expenses associated with this offering are estimated to be $22,000. As at January 31, 2006 , we had a balance of $ 15,282 in
cash. As at January 31, 2006 , we had paid $ 9 ,000 of the offering expenses and estimate it will require an additional $ 13 ,000 to complete the offering. We intend to use our existing cash to pay the entire expenses of this offering from cash on hand. None of the offering expenses are to be paid out of the proceeds of this offering. The entire sum of monies we raise from this offering will be used to finance Olympic’s plan of operations. None of the proceeds of this offering will be used to repay any existing debt.

The following table indicates how Olympic intends to use these proceeds of this offering.
Proceeds from Sale of Common Stock | $60,000 |
Expenses Marketing and Promotion Travel and Hospitality: Office Furniture and Equipment Legal and Accounting Website, Hosting and Telecom Miscellaneous Administrations Expenses Total | 22,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 6,000 5,000 $60,000 |
The above expenditure items are defined as follows:
Marketing and Promotion: This item refers to the cost of a basic marketing program and the provision of a minimal amount of product information to our customers and interested business individuals. This could include direct marketing as well as local newspaper advertising directed to specific demographics. Our primary mediums will be Bridal/Tourism Magazines and Wedding Shows. Initially, we intend to market our service through a basic Internet website. Olympic will also do some direct contact marketing facilitated by a brochure specifically targeted to the travel and tourism industry. We expect to be incurring these costs beginning the second month of operations after the closing date of this offering, and continuing throughout the remainder of the year. We expect to begin marketing more directly into the Japanese market during the last quarter of our first year of operations.
Travel and Hospitality: This expense will be incurred in setting up international contacts in the targeted cities (see Business of the Issuer under Description of Business below). This will require travel to each site to interview and secure qualified wedding service providers for each market place. Our goal is to provide 10 Olympic Venues as wedding destinations by the end of the third quarter of our first year of operations. We will also need to travel to and participate in wedding shows and establish our presence in the wedding industry to promote our product at a consumer level.
Office Furniture and Equipment: This expenditure refers to items such as desks, chairs, computer hardware and software, photocopier, fax machine, telephone system, filing cabinets, office supplies and other similar office requirements. We will also need a high resolution projection unit to provide a fast paced and informative “powerpoint/video presentation” at wedding shows. Olympic expects to begin making these purchases during the second month of operations after the effective date of this prospectus.
Legal and Accounting: This expenditure item refers to the normal legal and accounting costs associated with fulfilling the reporting and auditing obligations of a public company. It will also cover the cost of preparation of appropriate agreements and documents. We expect to be making these expenditures throughout the year, commencing on the effective date of the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.
Website, Hosting and Telecom: This expense is the cost associated with development of a website. This item also covers the cost of hosting our website and basic monthly telephone and
fax services. Since the website will be used as a primary means to promote and provide Olympic Weddings, preliminary website development will begin as soon as we have funds available. Eventually, the website will function in two languages in accordance with our two major markets, Japanese and English. Clients will be able to order their complete Olympic Wedding Package(s) online. The amount indicated covers the first year of operations.
8
Miscellaneous Administration Expenses: This expense refers to any miscellaneous costs that have not been otherwise listed - such as bank service charges and sundry items. This amount will cover such costs during the first year of operation.
There is no assurance that Olympic will raise the full $60,000 as anticipated. The following is the break down of how management intends to use the proceeds if only 25 percent, 50 percent, or 75 percent of the total offering amount is raised:
Expenditure Item | 25% | 50% | 75% | 100% |
Marketing and Promotion | 5,000 | 12,000 | 12,000 | 22,000 |
Travel and Hospitality | 0 | 3,000 | 8,000 | 8,000 |
Office Furniture and Equipment | 0 | 2,000 | 6,000 | 9,000 |
Legal and Accounting | 8,000 | 8,000 | 9,000 | 10,000 |
Website, Hosting and Telecom | 1,500 | 4,000 | 6,000 | 6,000 |
Miscellaneous Administrative Costs | 500 | 1,000 | 4,000 | 5,000 |
Total | $15,000 | $30,000 | $45,000 | $60,000 |
If only 25% of the offering is sold, we will continue with our development plans. Much of the office expenses will be placed on hold. Travel will be minimal as we will only offer 3 Olympic Wedding destinations. Marketing will be restricted to North America using 1-800 telephone contact and a basic website. Olympic will use the office furniture and computer hardware of the directors and only basic software systems will be purchased until sufficient capital becomes available. The directors will take responsibility for monthly bookkeeping and each quarter will prepare in-house interim financial statements for the accountant’s review. We anticipate that the $15,000 along with the expectation of limited revenue from modest sales will be sufficient to sustain us during the short-term. However, there would be insufficient funds available for furtherance of the plan of operations as d etailed later in this prospectus under the heading “PLAN OF OPERATION”.
If less than $15,000 is made available, we would restrict our marketing to a website presence only.
In the event that only 50% of the offering amount is raised, we would be able to further our plan of operation; however, the Company's activities will be severely restricted. Travel will be minimized as we will only offer 5 Olympic Wedding destinations. We would develop our customer base and network of contacts. However, office furniture and equipment purchased would be severely restricted. The directors will take responsibility for monthly bookkeeping and each quarter will prepare in-house interim financial statements for the accountant’s review. Without the ability to aggressively pursue our plan of operations, it is likely that we will take much longer to build a profitable business.
If 75% of the total offering amount is raised, there will be sufficient funds to pay a significant portion of all budgeted expenditure items.
The money Olympic has raised thus far from selling stock to its officers and directors will be sufficient to pay all expenses of this offering, which we estimate to be $22,000. We believe Olympic will require $13,000 in order to begin operations. Further, we believe we will require a minimum of $26,000 to operate for twelve months following the effectiveness of this prospectus. As at January 31, 2006 , Olympic had working capital of $ 14,232 of which we estimate $ 13 ,000 will be used to pay all remaining expenses of this offering,
Olympic is confident it can meet its financial obligations and pursue its plan of operations if it can either complete this offering or achieve sales revenues within the next six months. We do not expect to commence generating revenues until at least six months after completion of this offering of securities. The total amount of the money raised from the sale of the 600,000 shares we are offering will be used for the purpose of furthering the Company's plan of operation, as detailed under the heading “ PLAN OF OPERATION” below.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established market for our stock. The offering price for shares sold pursuant to this offering is set at $0.10 per share. Of the 3,300,000 shares of stock already purchased by officers and directors, 1,000,000 shares were sold for $0.001 per share, and the remaining 2,300,000 shares were sold for $0.01 per share. All of the outstanding shares of stock are restricted. The additional factors that were included in determining the sales price are the lack of liquidity since there is no present market for our stock and the high level of risk considering our lack of operating history.
DILUTION
Olympic is offering shares of its common stock for $0.10 per share through this offering. Since its inception on November 9, 2004, its officers and directors have purchased shares of its common stock for $0.01 and $0.001 per share.
As at January 31, 2006 , the net tangible book value of Olympic was $ 0. 0157 per share. If Olympic is successful in selling all of the offered by this prospectus, the pro forma net tangible book value of Olympic would be $ 61, 232 after deducting the remaining offering costs outstanding of $ 13 ,000, or approximately $ 0.0157 per share, which would represent an immediate increase of $ 0. 0114 in net tangible book value per share and $0.0843 or 84.3% per share dilution to new investors, assuming all the shares are sold at the Offering price of $0.10 per share.
Following is a table detailing dilution to investors if 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of the offering is sold.
25% | 50% | 75% | 100% | |
Net Tangible Book Value Per Share Prior to Stock Sale | 0. 0043 | 0. 0043 | 0. 0043 | 0. 0043 |
Net Tangible Book Value Per Share After Stock Sale | 0.0047 | 0.0087 | 0.0123 | 0.0157 |
Increase in Net Book Value Per Share Due to Stock Sale | (0. 0004 ) | 0. 0044 | 0. 0080 | 0. 0114 |
Loss (subscription price of $.10 less net tangible book value per share) | 0.0953 | 0.0913 | 0.0877 | 0.0843 |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES
The Nevada General Corporation Law requires Olympic to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.
According to Section 10 of Olympic Weddings International, Inc.’s bylaws, Olympic is authorized to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent authorized under Nevada Law subject to certain specified limitations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company 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.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
Olympic Weddings International, Inc. was incorporated on November 9, 2004, in the State of Nevada. We have not yet begun our business operations and we currently have no revenue and no significant assets. Olympic has never declared bankruptcy, has never been in receivership, and has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming incorporated, Olympic has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Olympic is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a) (2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose.
Neither Olympic nor its officers, directors, promoters or affiliates, has had preliminary contact or discussions with, nor do we have any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger.

Business of Issuer
Olympic Weddings International Inc. intends to develop a company that will provide personally guided travel tour wedding packages to be held at venues where Olympic events have been celebrated. The company will source destination venues, and add to the travel experience by combining guides and wedding planners that are able to provide an informative and educational background while planning and preparing for a wedding ceremony for the bride, the groom and their guests.
We intend to offer Olympic Weddings at the following Olympic locations:
5 Summer Olympic Venues: Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens and Beijing
5 Winter Olympic Venues: Lillehammer, Nagano, Salt Lake City, Torino and Vancouver/Whistler
The Olympic Games continue to draw international acclaim and interest. Based in informal Internet searches conducted by management, thousands of spectators attended the Olympics in Athens and Salt Lake City, while more than a billion viewers watched on television networks around the world.
Our President, Reverend Brent Sheppard, has observed that destination weddings continue to grow in popularity for several very good reasons. The destination wedding provides both a wedding venue and honeymoon for the bride and groom and it provides a vacation for the couple’s guests.
Olympic will be a service-oriented firm that intends to profit from integrating travel with weddings. We will endeavor to offer couples getting married, or those wanting to renew wedding vows, the opportunity of a wedding ceremony at a destination that has currently hosted, or will be hosting, an Olympic event. We will seek out and provide wedding officiates and planners who can integrate into the ceremony an Olympic theme. Themes that may include vows that celebrate teamwork and commitment and where those values were pursued and won with great passion and international accolades.
The service of a “Professional Wedding Planner” at each venue will be a key factor in guaranteeing customer satisfaction. This individual/group will be under contract to Olympic. This will require the scouting and possible training of a wedding service provider at each of the Olympic sites offered. This individual/team will assemble and provide a variety of “Wedding Packages” from the very basic Wedding to an elaborate 5 star event.
Olympic will serve as the marketer of the destination and the wedding packages. The on-site wedding planner will have the responsibility of arranging the details of the couples wedding at the chosen venue. Olympic will also act as a liaison for the on-site wedding planner who will handle all the wedding related details for the couple, with online planning and a hands-on approach for the couple.
We intend to design and create private label tours and tour packages to Olympic destinations and then market the tour packages to the national and international retail travel industry. Our plan to develop relationships with major international and domestic carriers and tour companies offering a variety of programs thereby connecting business traffic with international markets.
Principal Products and Services
Olympic will be offering a destination wedding tour package. The destination will be an historic Olympic site or venue. The Olympic theme wedding travel package to Olympic Games venues and sites will include an on site wedding planner.
15
The Market
Olympic Wedding intends to target the two most active wedding markets - Japan and North America. Based on informal internet searches conducted by management, it would appear that these are the two most active wedding markets. The following details were noted:
1.
Japan: 800,000 Japanese brides spending approximately $50 Billion (US Dollars)
2.
North America: 2.35 million weddings annually, spending approximately $60 Billion (US dollars)
NOTE: These figures are for “Wedding only” and do not include money spent on the honeymoon.
In Japan the average wedding runs on a budget of $70,000 - $90,000 dollars. This is due largely to the culture and the inherent effects of Shinto, the national religion. A traditional Shinto Wedding consists of 7 ceremonies or steps, with each one requiring a different wedding dress. This alone can escalate the cost substantially. Add to this that the family must invite everyone they know and give each guest a substantial gift. This can get very expensive. As a result, many Japanese couples are opting for a cheaper civil service and then choosing a destination wedding for about a tenth of the cost of the traditional Japanese/Shinto ceremony. On average they will spend $8,000-$10,000 dollars and many times the couple’s family will travel with them.
We see our North American customers coming from three different groups within the wedding marketplace.
1.
Couples getting married for the first time
Based on informal internet searches conducted by management, the median age in Canada of first time grooms is 30.2 years and the average age of first time brides is 28.2 years. In 2005, couples are getting married later in life than they did in the latter part of the last century. By this time the bride and groom usually are well into their careers, have a solid fixed dual-income and many couples have already bought homes together. We feel that this is an excellent target market, at a point in their lives where they want to and can afford to “do it right”. Plus, they want to travel.
2.
Divorced couples getting married again
Divorced couples have usually already participated in the traditional wedding experience and want to do it different the next time around. They are usually in their late forties or early fifties, which means they are more financially secure with more disposable income available for a destination wedding and honeymoon combination.
3
Couples celebrating an anniversary
More and more couples want to celebrate those benchmark moments in their marriage journey by renewing their vows in a wedding ceremony. They usually have children and sometimes even grand children that they want to and can afford to take with them, so the idea of a destination wedding and holiday is very appealing and therefore a sell-able commodity.
Competition and Competitive Strategy
There are a few Japanese and several American companies capitalizing on destinations weddings, however, to our knowledge, none of these companies are targeting Olympic venues as a destination. Companies that may provide components of the services that we will provide, including wedding planners and travel agencies, may be contacted in an endeavor to enhance our packages by offering options for our clients.
tyle="page-break-before:always; margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman" align=justify>Watabe is a company based in Japan offering wedding destinations to international sites. Their service includes the flight plans and accommodations. They have on site wedding planners that coordinate factors pertinent to the wedding, including the chapel, minister and photographer. They also make available wedding gowns and tuxedoes. Their Vancouver office served many Japanese couples each year. Although Mr. Sheppard provided his chaplaincy services to this company from 1994 through 1998, he does not have a non-competition agreement nor any obligations to this company. To our knowledge this company has not protected any aspects of its business model. Our operations will not violate any of their rights.
16
Olympic will be offering similar services with a focus specifically on the theme of the Olympic Games. Olympics’ management have formed an opinion based on their experience that the Japanese as well as the North American cultures consider Olympic Game locations as being somewhat sacred because of what the Olympics represent. We believe that this focus on Olympic venues will give us a competitive advantage over other companies offering wedding services.
Distribution
Initially Olympic will market through two key forms of advertising. The first will be through print media, both on the World Wide Web and in National Wedding Publications. We will seek to create a media presence and work towards establishing and identifying that niche market mentioned earlier. Secondly, Wedding Shows as they have grown in popularity as a means for the consumer to sample a wide range of wedding related vendors, services and products. We intend to have a very simple, cost effective promotional display with a 12 minute video or PowerPoint type presentation providing a visual impetus for the very idea of an “Olympic Wedding”. This short presentation would be very easy to distribute in a CD ROM format or on the website. During the last quarter of our first year of operations, we expect to begin marketing more directly into the Japanese market. To market in Japan, we would like to begin networking with suc h organizations as JEM (Japan Event Management) and Adventure weddings.
Further to this, we would endeavor to provide Olympic weddings to and through every Travel Agent in North America and Japan offering a commission for ‘Olympic Packages’ booked.
Sources and Availability of Products and Supplies
We believe that our Directors, through their industry experience and connections are able to develop the various aspects of the business. Both Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Pierson have experience with officiating at wedding, travel, arranging travel tours and arranging the use of various venues and services for wedding related engagements. Mr. Wallace has experience in arranging promotion and marketing packages. As a team, we believe they will be able to contact and arrange the services required in the different targeted cities, to put together the individual wedding tour package.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
As our products and service will be marketed to individuals, we will not be dependent on one or a few major customers.
Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions
There are no inherent factors or circumstances associated with this industry, or any of the products or services that we plan to provide that would give cause for any patent, trademark or license infringements or violations. Olympic has also not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to obligations or concessions.
Governmental Controls and Approvals
In regards to both the retail and the customers service parts of our business, the major area for government control or need for government approval would be concerning business licensing. Olympic will ensure that our on-site wedding planners have the necessary business license and are members in good standing with their local Chambers of Commerce.
All of the products being offered for sale will be purchased from reputable wholesale distributors and manufactures and will carry the necessary government and industry standard approvals. Olympic does not intend to sell products or service that are restricted or regulated in Canada and the United States.
17
Existing or Probable Government Regulations
Other than the licensing requirements discussed above, there are no other types of government regulations existing nor are we aware of any such regulations being contemplated that adversely affect Olympic’s ability to operate.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
Our directors and officers have undertaken limited research and investigation to date regarding the market need for a destination wedding at Olympic venues. We do not have any plans for research or development during the term of this prospectus.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
There are no environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that address issues specific to our business.
Facilities
We do not own or rent facilities of any kind. At present we are operating from the offices of our President, Rev. Brent Sheppard and he provides this space free of charge. We will continue to use this space for our executive offices for the foreseeable future.
Employees
Olympic has no employees at the present time. The officers and directors are responsible for all planning, developing and operational duties, and will continue to do so throughout the early stages of our growth. We have no intention of hiring employees until the business has been successfully launched and we have sufficient, reliable revenue flowing into Olympic from our operations. Our officers and directors will do whatever work is necessary to bring our business to the point of having positive cash flow. Human resource planning will be part of an ongoing process that will include constant evaluation of operations and revenue realization. In any event, we do not intend to hire any employees within the first year of operation.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Olympic uses words such as: anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions, to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced as described in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus. Factors which may cause the actual results or the actual plan of operations to vary include, among other things, decisions of the board of directors not to pursue a specific course of action based on its re-assessment of the facts or new facts, or changes in general economic conditions and those other factors set out in this prospectus.
Reports to Security Holders
We will voluntarily make available to securities holders an annual report, including audited financials on Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB. We are not currently a fully reporting company, but upon effectiveness of this registration statement, will be required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information about the operation of the Public
Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC athttp://www.sec.gov.
18
PLAN OF OPERATION
Olympic is a development stage company with no operations, no revenue, no financial backing and few assets. We are in the process of establishing a business, which provides customers with an International Wedding Service offering couples getting married or celebrating an anniversary with the unique opportunity of a destination wedding at an Olympic Games Host City.
We currently do not have the $60,000 needed to develop our website, our print media or CD ROM presentation, to market our products and services, nor do we have a source to supply the necessary funding if we are unsuccessful in raising the capital through this offering. Olympic believes it will take from two (2) to three (3) months to raise capital for completion of the development of the business after the registration becomes effective.
While Olympic has not yet secured any Olympic venues and/or on-site wedding service providers, our officers have conducted a limited amount of research regarding the availability and suitability of these destinations and services. We intend to continue to identify specific services and determine reliable wedding planners and travel suppliers as soon as the registration in which this prospectus is included becomes effective. We will then begin to develop and distribute the print media and promotional CD ROM with the funds available.
We will begin to design an information page which will utilize artwork and a logo on a website as soon as funds are available. Building of the complete website will begin within two months after the closing date of this offering with an expected initial cost of $4,000. Web space will be contracted from a local Internet service provider.
Olympic will join local wedding industry and travel associations in order to maintain contacts in the business community as well as to stay well informed about bridal issues and trends within the wedding/travel marketplace.
We will develop an e-brochure and CD ROM outlining our services, products, fee structure, and ordering instructions within the first three months of operations with an expected initial cost of $9,000. It will also include our mission statement which will state our intent to provide our clients with high quality services that meet or exceed their expectations and needs. The CD ROM will also highlight past experience and level of expertise. The CD ROM will be distributed at our wedding shows as well as to all other potential clients within the wedding industry. The e-brochure will be distributed electronically via the internet in accordance with all laws governing online solicitation known as spam mail.
At wedding shows, we will highlight the uniqueness of a destination wedding at an Olympic host city. Our presentation will be used to promote the idea of getting married at a location that embodies the essential ingredients of a healthy marriage, a destination that celebrates passion, teamwork and commitment, a venue where those winning characteristics have been honored with a gold medal. We expect that we will the attend first of these shows within the first three to six months after the closing date of this offering with anticipated costs of $5,000. We also expect to have our portable display ready for use at these shows at a cost of $7,000.
Attendees will be able to pick up our CD rom, ask questions regarding our destinations and services, and be able to book their ‘Olympic Wedding” directly from us at our Wedding Show display. Our portable display will be simple and cost effective to transport and set up requiring little more than a banner, laptop, and projection unit. The portable displays will be set up at wedding shows in order to market the wedding and the destinations that will be available to potential clients. The display will have credit card point of sale (POS) facilities for processing credit card payments from both in-person sales as well as Internet purchases.
Olympic intends to register and list its web address with widely used search engines and directories. When registering, we plan to include keyword sensitive content referred to as metatags, or words that describe the content of the site, as well as titles to attempt to ensure that its domain name is listed prominently in search results in most search returns.
Olympic plans to participate in special interest mailing lists to gain visibility among targeted audiences as well as generate traffic for its website. Special interest mailing lists are not direct lists, but instead are similar to e-mail newsletters or on-going dialogues dedicated to special interests. E-mail messages would be sent to specific targeted mailing lists. Olympic also plans to participate in industry related newsgroups to gain visibility and develop
19
relationships with targeted markets. (An internet newsgroup is a place on the internet where groups and people post and read messages on a particular topic.)
Depending on Olympic’s capital, we plan to book and process all orders from a central office location in the Greater Vancouver area, host city to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Both wedding show and internet orders will be filled from the same location. Internet orders will be confirmed and shipped via Canada Post Express Courier Service. From our investigations, we have found this system to be both cost effective and practical.
Distribution of our On Site Olympic Wedding services will be on a contract basis. Our Wedding Service Providers will be people from the Olympic Host City who know the area and the various wedding vendors in that area.
During the first stages of Olympic’s growth, the officers and directors will provide all the labor required to operate the website, wedding show display and presentations at no charge. Since we intend to operate with very limited administrative support, the officers and directors will continue to be responsible for at least the first year of operations.
Our marketing strategy will be to offer several different wedding packages at ten major Olympic host cities plus a wedding service provider at each location, ready and equipped to work online with the bride and groom in planning and developing their wedding itinerary.
How long Olympic will be able to satisfy its cash requirements, and whether we will require additional outside funding in the next twelve months depends on how quickly Olympic can generate sales revenue and how much revenue can be generated. At the present time we only have funds available to complete the expenses of this offering.
If we are unable to raise funding through this offering or from other sources, we will not be able to survive for more than several months. In that event, it will be critical that we begin to realize sales revenues as quickly as possible.
We are confident we can meet our financial obligations and pursue our plan of operations if we can either raise additional funding through this offering, or begin collecting sales revenues within the next twelve months of this Registration Statement becoming effective.
Olympic has no plans to undertake any further research and development during the term covered by this Registration Statement. There are also no plans or expectations to purchase or sell any significant equipment in the first year of operations. Management also has no intention of hiring any employees during the first year of operations.
During the first year of operations, we will concentrate our efforts exclusively to the development of our Print Media, e-brochure/CD ROM and Website in order to establish a growing client base, and on building our Internet business, as well as generating sales revenue from our wedding show presentations and Internet presence.

The following chart provides an overview of our budgeted expenditures, by major area of activity, for Olympic to remain operational for the twelve (12) month period upon effectiveness of this prospectus.

The following chart provides an overview of our budgeted expenditures, by major area of activity, for Olympic to fully implement our business plans for the twelve (12) month period upon effectiveness of this prospectus. The discussion is based on the premise we will raise the entire $60,000 we are seeking from this offering.
Expenses Marketing and Promotion Travel and Hospitality Office Furniture, Equipment and Supplies Legal and Accounting Website Hosting and Telecom Miscellaneous Administrative Costs Total | 22,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 6,000 5,000 60,000 |
As previously noted, we have raised $24,000 from the sale of stock to affiliates, officers and directors. To date we have paid $ 9 ,000 of the expenses associated with this offering, which we anticipate to total $22,000. On January 31, 2006 we had $ 15,282 cash on hand. After $ 13 ,000 is used to complete this offering, we expect to have approximately $ 2 ,000 to apply to our expenditures. We believe Olympic will require $13,000 in order to begin operations. Further, we believe we will require $26,000 to operate for the twelve month period upon effectiveness of this prospectus.
Should we raise the entire $60,000 we are seeking from this offering together with the cash remaining after the offering expenses are paid of approximately $ 2 ,000, management is of the opinion that no further funds would be required for the operation of Olympic’s business for the twelve month period following the completion of this Offering. In the event that we raise only a nominal amount of money from this offering – $2,500 or less – we will endeavor to proceed with our plan of operations by self financing from financial contributions from our founders. While the founders have generally indicated a willingness to provide services and financial contributions if necessary, there are presently no agreements, arrangements, commitments or specific understandings, verbally or in writing, between the founders and Olympic. If the Company should require additional outside funding, there are no anticipated sources of additional funds in place.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Olympic does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Olympic does not own any property, real or otherwise. For the first year, we will conduct our administrative affairs from the office located in the home of Mr. Sheppard, our president, at no cost to the company.
We do not have any investments or interests in any real estate. Our company does not invest in real estate mortgages, nor does it invest in securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Other than the stock transactions discussed below, Olympic has not entered into any transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any director, executive officer, shareholder of Olympic or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.
Mr. Brent Sheppard, who is a member of our board of directors, purchased by subscription 1,000,000 shares of common stock from Olympic on November 9, 2004 for $1,000.

There are no promoters being used in relation to this offering. No person who may, in the future, be considered a promoter of this offering, will receive or expect to receive assets, services or other considerations from us. No assets will be, nor are expected to be, acquired from any promoter on behalf of our company. We have not entered into any agreements that require disclosure to our shareholders.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
Currently there is no public trading market for our stock, and we have not applied to have Olympic’s common stock listed. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. No trading symbol has yet been assigned. Olympic does not have any outstanding options, warrants to purchase or securities convertible into shares of common stock.
The offering of the shares under this prospectus of 600,000 shares at the price of $0.10 per share could have a material effect on the market price for our stock if it is approved for quotation on the OTC / BB.
A total of 1,000,000 shares of the common stock will be available for resale to the public after November 9, 2005 and all of Olympic’s current issued and outstanding 3,300,000 shares of the common stock will be available for resale to the public after April 22, 2006 subject to the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1% of the number of shares of Olympic common stock then outstanding which, in this case, will equal approximately 33,000 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or the average weekly trading volume of Olympic common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.
Rules Governing Low-Price Stocks that May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability to Resell Shares of Our Common Stock
Our stock currently is not traded on any stock exchange or quoted on any stock quotation system. Upon the registration statement in which this prospectus is included becoming effective, we will apply for quotation of our common stock on the NASD's OTC/BB.
Quotations on the OTC/BB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Olympic’s common stock may be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks generally are securities with 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 transaction in such securities. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers are 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.
The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides 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. In addition, the penny stock
22
regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC 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.
Holders
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have three (3) shareholders of record of Olympic common stock.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about Olympic. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of Olympic’s affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least 2 years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are Olympic affiliates hold all of the 3,300,000 shares, which may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 after April 22, 2006.
Dividends
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends to our shareholders. There are no restrictions which would limit the ability of Olympic to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend: Olympic would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or its total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The officers have not currently received and are not accruing any compensation. The officers anticipate that they will not receive or accrue any compensation during the first year of operations.

Board of Directors
Olympic Weddings International Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Olympic Weddings International Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of April 30, 2005 and July 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from November 9, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005 and from May 1, 2005 to July 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessin g the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Olympic Weddings International Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of April 30, 2005 and July 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the period from November 9, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005 and from May 1, 2005 to July 31, 2005, 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 described in Note 3, the Company has no business operations to date and has insufficient funds to commence operations, which raises substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to this matter is also discussed in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2005 AND JULY 31, 2005
1.
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
a)
Organization
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America, on November 9, 2004. The Company’s year end is April 30.
b)
Development Stage Activities
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. Olympic Weddings’ business plan is to develop a company that will provide personally guided travel tour wedding packages to be held at venues where Olympic events have been celebrated.
Based upon the Company's business plan, it is a development stage enterprise. Accordingly, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply in establishing operating enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial statements are stated in United States of America dollars.
a)
Organizational and Start-up Costs
Costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred in accordance with SOP 98-5.
b)
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 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
F-7
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.
c)
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At April 30, 2005 and July 31, 2005, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation.
d)
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term 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 statements.
e)
Revenue Recognition
The company has had no revenues to date. It is the Company’s policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Under SAB 104, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
f)
Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.
g)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
h)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
i)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
F-8
earnings per share is not shown for periods in which the Company incurs a loss because it would be anti-dilutive.
j)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends and clarifies the accounting guidance on certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer of equity (including the equity shares of any entity whose financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for existing financial instruments after July 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," and a revised interpretation of FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R") in December 2003. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities ("VIEs") to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. Since January 31, 2003, the Company has not invested in any entities it believes are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003, the Company was required to continue to apply FIN 46 through April 30, 2004. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R for those arrangements on May 1, 2004. For arrangements entered into prior to February 1, 2003, the Company was required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R on May 1, 2004. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
k)
Other
The Company consists of one reportable business segment.
The Company paid no dividends during the periods presented.
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION – GOING CONCERN
F-9
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has no business operations to date and must secure additional financing to commence the Company’s plan of operations. The Company intends to acquire additional operating capital through equity offerings to the public to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the equity offerings will be successful in raising sufficient funds to commence operations or to assure the eventual profitability of the Company.
1.
COMMON STOCK
The Company’s authorized common stock consists of 75,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.
On November 9, 2004, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.001 for cash totaling $1,000.
On April 22, 2005, the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 for cash totaling $23,000.
2.
INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to US federal income taxes. The Company has had no income, and therefore has paid no income tax.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company’s deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. The net operating loss carry forwards expire in 2025 and 2026. The Company’s deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carryforwards. The allowance increased by $281 for the three months ended July 31, 2005. Net operating loss carryforwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.
The Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and change in valuation allowance are as follows:
F-10
Period Ending | Estimated NOL Carry-forward | NOL Expires | Estimated Tax Benefit from NOL | Valuation Allowance | Net Tax Benefit | |||||
April 30, 2005 | 1,969 | 2025 | 295 | (295) | — | |||||
July 31, 2005 | 3,843 | 2026 | 576 | (576) | — |
Income taxes at the statutory rate are reconciled to the Company’s actual income taxes as follows:
Income tax benefit at statutory rate resulting from net operating | (15%) | |
Deferred income tax valuation allowance | 15% | |
Actual tax rate | 0% |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company proposes to file a Form SB-2 Registration Statement to offer the public up to 600,000 common shares at $0.10 per share.
