PART I - INFORMATION REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 3. SUMMARY INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS.
This summary is intended to highlight information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the section entitled "Risk Factors." All dollar amounts refer to United States dollars unless otherwise noted.
Raphael Industries Ltd. ("Raphael") is a Nevada company incorporated on October 31, 2005. Our registered office and agent for service is located at 350 South Center Street Suite 500 Reno, NV 89501 and our principal corporate offices are located at Suite 700, One Executive Place 1816 Crowchild Trail N.W. Calgary, AB, T2M 3Y7. Our telephone number is 1-866-261-885 and our website address is www.raphaelindustries.net. We are a startup company providing list management and marketing services in the direct mail marketing industry. List refers to information on individuals and companies assembled into databases and derived from various sources, including public domain databases such as the yellow pages, print publications such as magazines, newsletters, and data from direct mail advertising.
Direct mail marketing is defined as the practice of delivering promotional messages through the postal service directly to potential customers on an individual basis. We have secured two agreements for the right to manage, market and rent four lists within the direct mail industry. The agreements call for a term of 2 years after which we have the option to renew the agreements. One of the agreements (exhibit 10.1) also contains an option to purchase the lists for $100,000. We have made an initial payment of $50,000 on April 14, 2006. To date we have had limited revenues and have been issued a going concern opinion from our auditors. We rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations.
We are offering a minimum of two million five hundred thousand shares and a maximum of five million shares of our common stock as summarized below. All funds received from this offering will be placed in a non-interest bearing escrow account held with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. 1266 Market St, San Francisco, 94102. Funds will only be released to us when a minimum of $250,000 has been raised. All funds will be returned to investors promptly without deductions if we do not raise $250,000 within 180 days from the date this prospectus is declared effective.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest, you should read and consider carefully the following risk factors.
Our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our audited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2006 were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have a limited history of operations and unless we are able to successfully generate rental income from our licensed lists, our business and operating results will suffer resulting in the failure of our business. We have only just begun the activities described herein and there is no certainty that we will be successful in marketing and renting the lists. We have had limited sales and even if revenues meet levels we anticipate, we could sustain losses, and our business and the price of our common stock may be harmed. See notes accompanying financial statements for information on our history of losses and anticipation of continued losses.
We have generated limited revenues from operations and may have additional capital requirements to continue our operations. Such capital might not be available to us on favorable terms or at all, and if unavailable our ability to run our business will be negatively effected. We are dependent upon this offering to sustain and grow our business. In the event that we only raise the minimum amount, our operations will be limited and our likelihood to continue as a going concern reduced. The proceeds from this offering will be utilized over the next twelve months as specified in "Use of Proceeds" section on page 7. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to cover operating expenses or raise additional funds, we will unlikely establish or maintain our business operations resulting in the failure of our business and the loss of your investment. We currently have no other plans or arrangements to raise capital for our business except for this offering.
Our President is our sole executive officer and he is responsible for both establishing and maintaining internal controls. He is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting, establishing and maintaining proper accounting records, selecting appropriate accounting principles, safeguarding assets and complying with relevant laws and regulations. There can be no guarantee that this conflict of interest may not result in errors and omissions going undetected.
If we lose the services of our President we will be left without management. Mr. Raabe is our sole officer and the loss of his services and knowledge of our business will likely result in the failure of our business and the total loss of your investment.
We rely on consultants and if we are unable to retain these or other similarly qualified individuals, we may be unable to carry out our business operations. We are dependent upon service providers, such as database storage companies. Loss of their services would adversely affect our business and our ability to maintain our operations. We have not entered into any employment or non-competition agreements with these individuals and do not plan to in the future. Our success will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we cannot attract and retain the necessary individuals our operating results will suffer.
We are presently dependent on the owners of our licensed lists for our continued operations and our business could be materially harmed by their failure to renew the license agreements. We have entered into licensing agreements to market and manage four lists. These agreements expire on November 15, 2008 and December 1, 2008 and failure to renew these agreements or enter into additional agreements with other list owners will result in the failure of our business.
We are a development stage company and have conducted limited market research on the viability of our business. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues to maintain our operations. Failure to do so will result in the failure of our business. The market for our licensed lists is limited and there is no assurance that we'll generate market acceptance or that we will be able to expand upon our existing market. Failure to attain market acceptance or expand our existing market will result in our inability to generate sufficient revenue to fund our business, resulting in the failure of our business and the total loss of your investment.
We rely on third party marketers to assist us in the marketing and sale of our licensed lists. Failure to maintain these relationships will limit our growth prospects. Our business success is dependent on the performance of third party management and marketing agents. Revenues derived from their efforts represent vital funds for our continued operations. The loss or damage of any of our business relationships and or revenues derived there from will limit our growth.
The industry in which we operate is facing increasing government regulation which has increased our costs and operating expenses. The marketing of personal and private information is facing increased regulatory scrutiny. There can be no guarantee that new laws will not make the marketing of lists impossible or cost prohibitive.
Many large companies are reducing their use of direct mail advertising and increasing their use of Internet advertising, including e-mail and banner advertisements. As a result of this change in the direct mail marketing industry, some customers are purchasing less data for direct mail applications, thereby reducing the potential market for our lists.
We face intense competition in the market from larger more established companies that offer a wider array of products. These competitors will make it difficult for us to offer competing products and grow our business. Companies that are larger, better funded, with longer operating histories like infoUSA and the Millard Group dominate our industry. These competitors are able to offer services and expertise beyond our capabilities which will make it difficult for us to secure new clients and increase our client base. Failure to expand our client base will severely limit our prospects for growth.
Our shares are not currently traded on any stock market and there is no assurance that shares purchased pursuant to this prospectus can be resold and if resold will be at prices at or above the offering price. The offering price of $0.10 per share was arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to our earnings, book value, or any other recognized criteria of value. At the present time there is no public market for our common shares and we cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Investors should not consider investing in this offering unless they can afford the complete loss of their investment.
There are legal restrictions on the resale of the common shares offered herein, including Penny Stock Regulations under the U.S. Federal Securities Laws. These restrictions may adversely affect the ability of investors to resell their shares. Our Articles do not restrict the sale or transfer of the securities offered hereby however such sale or transfer must be made in full compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. Our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, which apply generally to equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system. The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number of broker-dealers willing to engage in the trading of our shares. This results in reduced liquidity and an increase in the spread between the bid and ask price. Investors should be aware that the level of trading activity on the secondary market can be very illi quid and investors may find it expensive and difficult to sell their shares.
Our President will be offering for sale the shares contemplated in this prospectus. He has no experience in selling or offering shares for sale, which may negatively effect our ability to complete the offering. We are offering up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock for sale at $0.10 per share. Our President is not a registered broker-dealer and will sell the common stock on behalf of the company. His lack of experience may result in the inability to sell shares and raise funds, the failure of which will result in the inability to expand our business.
Our President owns 100% of the shares in the company, allowing him to control the company's future direction. Even if we sell 5,000,000 shares and raise the maximum under this prospectus our president will control all matters subject to stockholder's vote. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."
You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution. On March 31, 2006 the book value per share was $ 0.01 and the public offering price is set at $0.10 per share. As a consequence new investors will experience an immediate dilution of $0.06 per share if we raise the maximum and $0.07 if we raise the minimum.
The proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by us will be between $220,000 and $470,000 based on a public offering price of $0.10 per share. The table below outlines our intended use of proceeds during the twelve-month period following this offering for $250,000 and $500,000 raised:
$250,000 raised | $500,000 raised |
1) To market the lists. | 1) To market the lists |
2) To market our services to acquire additional lists | 2) To market our services to acquire additional lists |

TOTAL | $ | 470,000 | $ | 320,000 | $ | 220,000 |
Total offering expenses are $30,000. Of the $30,000, the amounts to be paid from the proceeds for expenses of the offering are: $ 20,000 for legal fees; $2,000 for trust account; $1,000 for printing our prospectus; $5,000 for audit fees; $1,400 for our transfer agent whom we will engage upon the completion of this offering; $500 for administration fees; and $100 for filing fee. No funds contemplated in this offering will be used to reimburse any officer, director, or stockholder for services already rendered, assets previously transferred, or monies loaned or advanced.
If we cannot succeed in implementing our strategy, then our prospects for growth are substantially undermined and without additional capitalization our capacity to survive as a going concern is unlikely.
Item 5. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We arbitrarily determined the initial public offering price of the shares at $0.10 per share. We considered several factors in such determination, including the following:
Our ability to raise funds under this offering;
Our limited history of operations;
Prospects for the industry in which we compete;
Our existing capital structure;
Our ability to raise funds in the future
The public offering price of the shares does not bear any relationship to established valuation criteria and is not indicative of prices that may prevail in the future. You cannot be sure that a public market for any of our securities will develop and continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price in this offering.
Our book value as of March 31, 2006, was $0.01 per share. Without taking into account any changes in our book value up to June 12, 2006 and giving effect to the sale of 5,000,000 shares of common stock offered hereby and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, the pro forma book value at June 12, 2006 would have been approximately $520,545 or $0.04 per share. This amount represents an immediate dilution to new investors of $0.06 per share. If we sell only 2,500,000 shares the pro forma book value at June 12, 2006 would have been approximately $270,545 or $0.03 per share. This amount represents an immediate dilution to new investors of $0.07 per share.
The following table illustrates this dilution per share:
Public offering price per share | $0.10 | |
Book value per share March 31, 2006 | $0.01 | |
Minimum sold | Maximum sold | |
Book value per share after offering | $0.03 | $0.04 |
Increase per share to existing stockholders | $0.02 | $0.04 |
Dilution per share to new investors | $0.07 | $0.06 |
Item 7. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
N/A
We are offering up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.10 per share. The common stock will be sold by our President to investors located both inside and outside the United States. Our shares will be sold on a "best efforts" basis with a minimum amount of 2,500,000 shares of common stock that we must sell in order to accept funds. No commissions are being paid in connection with the offering.

Rights and Liabilities of Common Stockholders

The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at such times and in such amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine.
Voting Rights

Item 16. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion suggesting there is a real possibility that we will not be able to maintain our operations. Since inception we have generated limited revenues. We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund operations.
Business of Issuer
We are a startup company that has only just commenced the services described in this prospectus. We provide list management and marketing services within the direct mail marketing industry. We have entered into the following agreements:
1. two license agreements to market manage and rent four lists
2. two database storage agreements to secure and store our licensed lists.
3. two marketing and management agreements to assist in marketing and managing our lists.
The main provisions of the license agreements (exhibit 10.1 and 10.2) authorize us to market the lists to companies, individuals or other entities that are prospective users of the lists. The agreement set out in exhibit 10.1 calls for the payment of 60% of all revenues we generate through list rental to be paid to the licensor up until November 14, 2006 and thereafter we are required to pay 75% of all revenues until the expiration of the license. Our second agreement, set out in exhibit 10.2, calls for the payment of 58% of all revenues to be paid to the licensor up until November 31, 2006 and thereafter 75% of all revenues payable to the licensor until the expiration of the license.
Our license agreement attached as exhibit 10.1 grants us the exclusive right to purchase the licensed lists. To exercise the option we were required to make an initial payment of $50,000 before April 15, 2006, 120 days from the execution of the agreement, and an additional $50,000 payment by November 15, 2006, the one-year anniversary of execution of the agreement. On April 14, 2006 we made a payment of $50,000 as initial payment toward the option. Should we complete the purchase of the lists we will receive 100% of the revenues. No funds received under this prospectus will be used to purchase the list. If we fail to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional funds through debt or equity to purchase the list our business will suffer.
The main provisions of our storage agreements (exhibit 10.5 and 10.6) require us to pay a monthly storage fee and both agreements are month to month, cancelable on 30 days notice. Our storage agreement as set out in exhibit 10.5 calls for a monthly payment of $350 while the storage agreement set out in exhibit 10.6 requires a payment of $30 for every thousand names processed through their services.
The main provisions of the management and marketing agreements (exhibit 10.3 and 10.4) require us to pay the agent 30% of all list rental income generated by the agent. One agreement has a term of one year and is cancelable with 45 day written notice. The other agreement is month to month and cancelable on 30 days written notice.
Our business strategy is to continue to market and rent our existing lists and secure additional contracts with other list owners. Upon completion of this offering we anticipate reducing the number of services we outsource to our list management and marketing firms and anticipate hiring additional personnel when cash flow permits.
Outsourced Management and Marketing Services
Our management and marketing agents provide the following services:
Management Services
Data entry - including list appending/enhancing. During list appending/enhancing demographic information such as marital status, age, number of children in household, home phone, homeowner or renter, dwelling size, income range, education, etc are added to the names in the list.
Cleaning services - NCOA (National Change of Name Address) and CASS certification (CASS means the standardization of address and zip codes). NCOA and CASS are bi-annual requirements as dictated by the United States Postal Service.
Data compilation - this includes compiling data on new subscriptions, changes and updates to current records and maintaining of 'due not mail' records and merge/purge services. Merge/purge refers to the combining of two or more databases into one, eliminating or excluding duplicate records.
Accounting services - including, monthly reports detailing sales and payments for rental revenue, collection reports, which provide monthly progress assessments on our communication with list brokers on payment status from the merged database.
Marketing Services
Advertising campaigns through trade publications and the Internet, which consists of space ads and daily emails and faxes to list brokers and other prospective list renters.
Conference attendance to promote our lists and other agent sponsored lists.
In-House management services;
We provide the following in-house management services.
Contract negotiation - we negotiate all contracts originating from in-house marketing initiatives as well as all contracts derived from third party agents.
Document Review and Assessment - review all proposed marketing materials to be sent to lists by prospective renters including any disclaimers and related disclosure.
Credit checks and payment security - review proposed agreements with the prospective renters and third party consultants and establish their credit worthiness.
Accounting services - including, monthly reports detailing sales and payments for rental revenue, collection reports, which provide monthly progress assessments on our communication with list brokers on payment status from the merged database.
List authorization - based on final suitability assessment authorize rental or decline rental request.
Order processing and fulfillment - The processing and fulfillment of orders entails several steps to ensure the rented list meets the renter's requirements such as list selection and name suppression. Name suppression is defined as the process of excluding names based on geographic or demographic characteristics.
Electronic file preparation - Once the order processing and fulfillment has been completed the rented file is prepared for delivery via mail or email to the renter or its agent.
In-House marketing services
Internet Marketing - this includes the placement of list data cards online through our web site making them accessible for download by any marketer searching the web for mailing list information. List data cards refer to brief summaries of the lists' contents including the number of names, rental price, and source of derivation. We are presently tracking and testing the effectiveness of inbound links that connect directly to our website from external sites. Specifically, tracking customers' clicks on these links that connect to our website from search engines and community and affinity sites like Google and Overture. We send emails to people and companies that have double opted in to receive information on marketing and list rentals.
Client List Acquisition Marketing - we utilize trade publications such as DM News, Catalog Age and Target Marketing, to source potential renters of our specific lists. These searchable databases allow us to locate brokers and prospective renters.
Trade Shows / Conferences - we attend Trade Shows and Conferences in an effort to secure additional license agreements with list owners and publishers to secure the management and marketing of their lists. This entails our attendance at major direct marketing related trade shows each year.
Direct Client Acquisition - we use direct client acquisition efforts, also known as 'cold calling' to market our company and services to the direct mail marketing industry and other companies that we believe could benefit from our services.
If we are successful in raising the funds contemplated in this offering we will provide the following additional marketing services:
Promotional Mailings - promotional mailing includes a promotional flyer for each list ("data card") describing the type of list that is being offered, a sales letter, and any additional literature about the list. We will mail this package to prospects within the list brokerage business, active mailers, as well as industry publications like DM News and Target Marketing.
Space Ads -space ads placed in industry publications such as Catalogue Age and SRDS heighten awareness of the list. To strengthen the impact of these ads, we intend to initiate a direct mail campaign. As results are assessed, we can broaden space ad exposure.
Mailer direct solicitation and fax - we will target potential companies directly that might be interested in mailing to our lists. We will also utilize fax promotions on a bi-monthly schedule. We anticipate dividing our fax promotions into exclusive and category segments. Exclusive promotions target companies that are active in the industry from which the lists were generated, like financial publications. Category promotions target industries with similar demographic models, for example, a list comprised primarily of men over 55 may be attractive to the healthcare industry as well as the life insurance industry.
We operate within the direct mail marketing industry. Direct mail marketing is defined as the practice of delivering promotional messages through the postal service directly to potential customers on an individual basis. There are two different types of lists - response lists and compiled lists. Response lists are comprised of individuals and companies that have responded to direct mail solicitations or offers, including subscription-based magazines and newspapers, catalogues and other response generated offers. Compiled lists are generated from public sources such as yellow pages, white pages, incorporation records, real estate deed transfers, and various other sources. Information about the individuals and companies such as income, and marital status is then often added to increase the value of the list. Our licensed lists have been generated from both response and compiled efforts.
According to the Direct Marketing Association, a leading global trade association supporting the direct mail marketing industry, total direct mail marketing advertising in 2005 was $161.3 billion. According to the report, sales driven by direct marketing is forecast to grow by 6.4% through 2009.
The direct mail marketing industry is changing and faces several challenges. The trend in the industry is toward more comprehensive multi faceted avenues of advertising. For example, mailing marketing materials to consumers directing them to an Internet web site where they are provided additional information in an effort to secure an online sale. This trend reduces the overall budget devoted exclusively toward direct mail. There is also a greater demand for more cost effective mechanisms to target prospective consumers, primarily through the use of the Internet and email.
Many companies are reducing their use of direct mail advertising and increasing their use of on-line advertising, including e-mail, search words, and banner advertisements. As a result of this change in the direct mail marketing industry, some customers are purchasing less data for direct mail applications. In addition, several of our potential customers operate in industries, in particular the financial media and newsletter publishers that are undergoing consolidation.
Although the direct mail marketing industry has self-imposed standards of conduct (Direct Marketing Associations Guidelines for Ethical Business Practice) the industry is subject to greater outside regulatory intervention. Heightened Federal Trade Commission regulation, expanding 'do-not-call' and 'do-not-mail' directories are reducing the number of prospective consumers available to marketers. Similarly, there is also a greater regulatory awareness on privacy and the protection of personal information.
The lists are not dependent on raw materials.
Customers
To date we have a limited number of customers. The loss of any of our customers would be detrimental to our business.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, or Labor Contracts
Although the Company believes that its operations do not infringe on any trademark or copyright or other proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that those parties will not assert that our business procedures infringe their proprietary rights. We have no assurance that third parties will not obtain, or do not have, patents covering features of our operations, in which event we or our customers might be required to obtain licenses to use such features. If a patent holder refuses to grant a license on reasonable terms or at all, we may be required to alter certain products or stop marketing them.
Information regarding the Company's development activities is included in Footnote 1 to the Financial Statements and is incorporated by reference herein.
We are not aware of any federal, state, or local environmental laws that would effect our operations.
We presently have no full-time employees. We have agreements with several database storage and management firms to perform storage, maintenance and marketing of the lists. Our officer, director, and consultants are currently not represented by a collective bargaining agreement.
Reports to Shareholders
We intend to furnish shareholders with annual reports containing audited financial statements and such other periodic reports as we may determine to be appropriate or as may be required by law. Upon the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we will be required to comply with periodic reporting, proxy solicitation and certain other requirements by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on 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 us at the SEC website (http://www.sec.gov).
Transfer Agent and Registrar
At this time we do not have a transfer agent. Upon completion of this offering we will hire such Transfer agent as management determines.
Item 17. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
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.
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 generated only limited revenues and limited revenues are anticipated in the next six to twelve months until we commence our marketing strategy discussed herein. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by our sole officer and director. We must raise cash to implement our marketing strategy.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. If we are able to raise the maximum amount through this offering we will have sufficient funds to carry out our plan of operations. We will also analyze the economics of reducing the outsourcing of services and hire additional personnel. We will only commence a hiring program when we have generated sufficient cash flow to pay wages.
None of the funds raised in this offering will be used to pay for additional employees wages or for the final purchase payment of our licensed list. We cannot guarantee that we will secure sufficient orders to stay in business. If we are unable to secure enough orders, we will need to find alternative sources of capital through a second offering or loans 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 our marketing until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. If we raise the minimum we will have sufficient funds to pay rent, general office and administrative expenses and all expenses related to Exchange Act filings for the next 12 months. However, our plan of operations will be curtailed. We will have enough funds to manage and market our exiting lists, enhance the existing data with additional demographic information and commence a limited marketing plan for additional database license acquisition.
Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans and have made no plans beyond our current business.
Off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of the date of this filing.
Plan of Operation
We do not expect to purchase or sell significant equipment nor do we expect significant changes in the number of employees.
If we raise less than the maximum our priority of expenditures is first to market our licensed lists through promotional mailings, fax promotions, and the Internet; second to pay for rent, legal, audit, and office expenses ; third to enhance the lists with demographic information; and forth, if we generate sufficient revenues, to purchase the list. We intend to accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:
1. Complete our public offering. We believe this could take up to 180 days from the date the Securities and Exchange Commission declares our offering effective. We will continue our current operations until we have closed this offering. We intend to concentrate our efforts on completing the offering during this period.
2. After completing the offering we will revamp our corporate web site and commence design and implementation of our corporate marketing materials. Depending on the means we use to disseminate our marketing materials, (fax promotions, Internet, direct mail) we anticipate creating several different types of materials. Additionally, we intend to test different formats to determine which materials are most effective. This entails some trial and error but the work associated with design, writing, and formatting remains constant, specifically, research, storyboarding, scripting, editing, graphics and design layout.
We will undertake a similar process for our corporate website until we ascertain which design is most effective at promoting our lists. Our President will complete some of this work but we will also require the use of design and web consultants to assist us. All materials and designs will be tested until we determine which layout is most effective however, in an effort to continually increase the effectiveness of our marketing we will continue to allocate funds to test new materials. We have allocated $20,000 to website design and $25,000 for corporate materials design. We anticipate 8-12 weeks for the design, development and completion of this work.
3. We will then implement an advertising campaign comprised of separate marketing initiatives, also referred to as cells. Each cell will be comprised of different materials and or combination of materials in an effort to test the effectiveness of each cell and ascertain what marketing strategy is most effective. We will be able to judge effectiveness by reviewing traffic that each cell drives to our web site and ultimately through rental of the lists. We anticipate hiring a communication consultancy to track phone request for our lists as well as a data entry service to track business reply cards. The majority of funds will be allocated to direct mails costs, including paper, postage, list rental, and consultants. We have also allocated funds to the purchase of Space Ads in trade publications such as DMNews and Target Marketing. We have allocated $120,000 to $240,000 for our marketing campaign, depending on the amount raised in this offering. We expect to realize results from our online initiatives within da ys of there launch and within weeks for our direct mail and Space Ads campaign.
4) The lists change by roughly 65% per year. We will update and enhance the list on an ongoing basis. This process, which involves adding demographic information to the list as well as up dating addresses helps maintain the value of the list. We have allocated $10,000 for this during the first year. We intend to devote $5,000 to telemarketing to verify the name of the owner or key executive, their address, number of employees, number of PC's, fax numbers, e-mail addresses, and other information of our list entrants.
5) Analyze the results from the marketing campaign and study the economics of purchasing one of the lists to increase our revenue. We will only purchase the list if rental revenues are sufficient to pay the required $50,000. No funds from this offering will be used to purchase the list
History of Operations
As of March 31, 2006, we have had limited revenue of $81,029 and have generated $21,545 net income from operations. The funds contemplated under this offering will be sufficient for twelve months of operations and we believe we will have sufficient liquidity and cash reserves for this period. While these expectations are formulated based upon presumptions, there can be no assurance that in fact such projections will indeed come to fruition. We have ongoing expenses that include office expense, rent, legal, and accounting expenses. We have allocated $15,200 from this offering for these expenses. Although we believe this amount is sufficient for the next 12 months, we cannot be certain that some of these expenses will not increase. Except for legal and accounting fees, which are included in our use of proceeds, we do not foresee any ongoing filing fees associated with Exchange Act requirements as we will format and file all reporting documents internally. We may need to rely on alternative sources of financin g, such as shareholders loans, to pay for any unexpected expenditure greater than the allocated amount. We have not entered into any discussions on alternative financings.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Through March 31, 2006, we have realized total revenue of $81,029 and operating income before income taxes of $46,070 since inception. The major components to expenses faced by the company to date have been donated services of $24,000, general and administrative expenses of $830, and professional fees of $655. The balance of our expenses to date have been foreign currency loss of $370 and depreciation of $54. As of March 31, 2006 the Company has income taxes payable of $24,525, license fees payable of $14,415, accounts payable of $7,400 and $200 due to related party. The debt is interest free with no stated terms of repayment. There is no long-term debt. The Company may, in the future, invest in short-term investments from time to time but there can be no assurance that these investments will result in profit or loss.
Our future growth and success will be dependent on our ability to market the lists we currently maintain for our clients and to secure additional lists. If we cannot succeed in marketing our licensed lists and to secure contracts to market additional lists then our prospects for growth are substantially undermined. Without additional capitalization our capacity to survive as a going concern, much less achieve growth, is doubtful.
As of March 31, 2006, our sole source of revenue has been the rental of the licensed lists. Accordingly, no table showing percentage breakdown of revenue by business segment or product line is included.
No engineering, management or similar report has been prepared or provided for external use in connection with the offer of our securities to the public.
Item 18. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's corporate headquarters are located at 5190 Neil Road Suite 430 Reno, NV 89502. We currently maintain an executive office located at 268 Bush Street Suite 4205, San Francisco, CA 94104.
Item 19. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Except as otherwise indicated below, we have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holder, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Our President, Arne Raabe will act as the company's promoter.
Item 20. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Our common stock is not quoted on any exchange and there is no public trading market.
As of June 12, 2006 we had 7,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock and 1 stockholder of record. We do not have any outstanding options, warrants or other arrangements providing for the issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. Of the 7,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 12, 2006, none of these shares were eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. These shares cannot be sold or transferred unless done so in accordance with Rule 144. Except for the shares being registered in this prospectus, we do not have any current intention or obligation to register any additional shares of common stock for sale.
There is no public market for our common stock. Trades of our common stock, should a market ever develop, will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks".
There is currently no common equity that is being or is proposed to be publicly offered by the registrant, the offering of which could have a material effect on the market price of the issuer's common equity.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker/ dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document 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 also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be give n to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of these rules, investors in this offering, even if a market for our shares ever develops, may find it difficult to sell their shares.
Item 21. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We do not currently have employment agreements with our executive officer, but expect to sign an employment agreement with him in the next approximately twelve (12) months. To date no officer or director has drawn any salary. and neither Mr. Raabe nor any other person will be compensated in the future for past services. Upon completion of this offering Mr. Raabe will be compensated $4,800 per month. These charges will be recorded as payables, are not subject to any interest and will be paid when we realizes revenues. None of the funds contemplated in this offering will be used to compensate Mr. Raabe. We do not currently have a stock option plan.

Raphael Industries Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Raphael Industries Ltd. as of March 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity from October 31, 2005 (Date of Inception) to March 31, 2006. 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 audits 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 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 Raphael Industries Ltd. as of March 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows from October 31, 2005 (Date of Inception) to March 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Raphael Industries Ltd.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(expressed in US dollars)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Raphael Industries Ltd. ("the Company") was incorporated on October 31, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Its principal business is to market databases of newsletter, direct mail, and internet marketing promotions for commercial use. The Company has obtained the rights to two subscriber databases.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company's fiscal year-end is September 30.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d) Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. For the period ended March 31, 2006, there were no dilutive securities outstanding and therefore diluted earnings per share is not presented.
(e) Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2006, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
(f) Financial Instruments and Concentrations
The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, licensee fee payable, and amounts due to a related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company has some exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. At March 31, 2006, $15,236 or 63% of the total accounts receivable is with one customer. Furthermore, $71,247 or 88% of total revenues is with one customer. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash.
(g) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation", using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

(expressed in US dollars)
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(h) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of computer hardware and is recorded at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of three years.
(i) Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
(j) Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. There have been no advertising expenses incurred by the Company since inception.
(k) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the licensing of databases in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The Company accounts for revenue as an agent using the guidance in EITF 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent". Revenue consists of licensing fees and is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists such as a contract or a written request from the customer, the product has been transferred, andcollectibility is reasonably assured. Trade accounts receivable relate to the transfer of database information. The Company sells to customers based on standard credit policies and regularly reviews accounts receivable for any bad debts. As of March 31, 2006, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary.
(l) Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the recently issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payments". Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted to employees are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected service period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees in exchange for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company does not have a stock option plan and has not issued any share based payments since inception.
(m) Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
(n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, entitled "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3". This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes", and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements", and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticabl e to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This Statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This Statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. The adoption of SFAS 154 is not expected to impact the Company's financial statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" and No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", but they will not have a material effect in the Company's results of operations or financial position.

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS.
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding director immunity from liability. Excepted from this immunity are:
1. a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
2. a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
3. a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
4. willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
1. such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;
2. the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;
3. such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or;
4. such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.
ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
Our company was incorporated on October 31, 2005. In the past three fiscal years we issued the following unregistered securities at the following prices. There were no underwriters engaged and no underwriting discounts or commissions paid. All issues were made pursuant to exemptions from registration contained in Regulation S of the 1933 Securities Act.
We have completed two offerings for a total of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.01 per share to our founder and president. The first offering, for $5,000 and 500,000 shares was completed on November 28, 2005 and the second for $65,000 and 6,500,000 shares was completed on April 30, 2006. The total cash amount we received from these offerings was $70,000. We completed the offerings pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The executive officer represented to us that he was a non-US person as defined in Regulation S. We did not engage in a distribution of this offering in the United States. He represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate legends to the stock certificate issued in accordance with Regulation S and the transfer agent affixed the appropriate legends. The executive officer had adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted.

We hereby undertake:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: | |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; | |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding 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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and | |
(iii) | To include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. | |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 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. | |
(4) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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, we 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 th e Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. | |
(5) | For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933: | |
(i) | we shall treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by us under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective. For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, we shall treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. | |
(ii) | we shall treat each prospectus filed by us pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) as part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registratio n statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or | |
(iii) | we shall treat each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
