Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 26, 2007, Basic Services, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the "Registrant") or ("BICV"), Adrenalina, a Nevada corporation and subsidiary of Basic Services, Inc. ("Merger Sub" or "Dissolving Corporation") and LQD Adrenalina, LLC and it subsidiaries ("ADRE"), a privately-held Limited Liability Company headquartered in Miami, Florida, entered into a Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (collectively the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Registrant, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, acquired ADRE in exchange for 18,000,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock which were issued to the members of ADRE stock (the "Merger"). Immediately after the Acquisition was consummated and further to the Agreement, the four largest shareholders of Basic Services, Inc., cancelled 9,773,750 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock held by them (the "Cancellation"). The transaction contemplated by the Agreement was intended to be a "tax-free" reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 351 and 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The members of ADRE unanimously approved the acquisition, and as of the closing date of the Merger will own approximately 94% of the Registrant's common stock outstanding as of October 26, 2007. This figure is based on the issuance of 18,353,000 common shares issued and outstanding. This figure includes the issuance of 353,000 unregistered shares and Thirty Thousand ($30,000) Dollars to Gilford Securities, New York, NY to be paid as referral fee compensation for the introduction to LQD Adrenalina, LLC. to Basic Services, Inc. The two largest shareholders of Basic Services, Inc. have agreed to pay Gilford Securities the sum of Thirty Thousand ($30,000) Dollars for the introduction, and the Company has agreed to transfer the assets, any intellectual property and liabilities to the two largest shareholders of Basic Services, Inc.
For accounting purposes, this transaction was being accounted for as a reverse merger, since the stockholders of ADRE own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Registrant, and the directors and executive officers of ADRE became the directors and executive officers of the Registrant.
The Registrant intends to file an Information Statement on Schedule 14F1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a change of directors for the Registrant.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The closing of the Agreement took place on October 26, 2007 (the "Closing"). ADRE is a media, retail and entertainment company.
The consideration issued to ADRE for the newly issued shares consisted solely of treasury shares of our common stock and was intended to qualify as a tax- free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

o | Publishing: extreme sports oriented periodical publishing and distribution |
Adrenalina is a retail-entertainment company focused on the nature and wellness lifestyle surrounding outdoor, adventure and extreme sports.

The second Adrenalina store is currently under construction at the Miami International Mall which is scheduled to open during the fall of 2007. The Company plans to open additional stores in 2008 with pending locations such as Tampa, Florida, Denver, Colorado, and Alpharetta, Georgia. Management is currently negotiating various leases for stores to be opened during 2008.
The Concept
Adrenalina "Extreme" Stores are extreme sports and adventure themed retail stores centered around a "FlowRider" surf ride. The stores offer apparel from clothing brands such as Volcom, Hurley, Quiksilver, Billabong, O'Neill, Rip Curl, Rusty, Cult and Reef, as well as, equipment and accessories from leading brands such as Marin Bikes, Hoffman Bikes, Felt, Shimano, Sram, GT Bikes, Manitou, Tippman, Dye Precision, No Fear, Fox Racing, Troy Lee Design, Steward Boards, HIC, Rusty Boards, Byrne, Eerie, Gator Wakeboards, Body Glove, Element, Zoo York, and Spitfire

The FlowRider
As part of the Company's goal to provide a truly unique retailing experience, the features a FlowRider machine, which will serve as a source of publicity, customer traffic, and direct and indirect revenue to the stores. Management believes that this is the first time that a FlowRider machine is being installed within a retail store rather than in a water park or cruise ship.

While the original show was produced and distributed in Spanish, primarily targeting the U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets, the show's success spurred the Company to develop the show in English, in order to capture a more expansive audience.

RISK FACTORS
(A) | WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY |
We have a limited operating history and must be considered to be a developmental stage company. Prospective investors should be aware of the difficulties encountered by such new enterprises, as we face all of the risks inherent in any new business and especially with a developmental stage company. These risks include, but are not limited to, competition, the absence of an operating history, the need for additional working capital, and the possible inability to adapt to various economic changes inherent in a market economy. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of these problems, expenses that are frequently incurred in the operation of a new business and the competitive environment in which we will be operating.
(B) | ANTICIPATED LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE |
LQD Adrenalina, LLC has prepared audited financial statements for the year end for December 31, 2006 and the interim nine month period ending September 30, 2007. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern is fully dependent upon the Company obtaining sufficient financing to continue its development and operational activities. The ability to achieve profitable operations is in direct correlation to our ability to generate revenues or raise sufficient financing. It is important to note that even if the appropriate financing is received, there is no guarantee that we will ever be able to operate profitably or derive any significant revenues from its operation.
LQD Adrenalina, LLC faces intense competition from larger and better- established retail sales operations that may prevent us from ever becoming a significant company. Management expects the competition to intensify in the future. Pressures created by our competitors could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Many of our potential retail competitors and sports retail stores have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources. In addition, our competitors may acquire or be acquired by, receive investments from or enter into other commercial relationships with larger, well-established and well-financed competitors. Therefore, some of our competitors with other revenue sources may be able to devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to product development. Increased competition may result in reduced operating margins, loss of market share and diminished value in our brands. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.
(D) | POSSIBLE INABILITY TO FIND SUITABLE EMPLOYEES. |
In order to implement the aggressive business plan, management recognizes that additional staff will be required. No assurances can be given that we will be able to find suitable employees that can support our needs or that these employees can be hired on favorable terms.
(E) | WE MAY, IN THE FUTURE, ISSUE ADDITIONAL COMMON SHARES, WHICH WOULD REDUCE INVESTORS' PERCENT OF OWNERSHIP AND MAY DILUTE OUR SHARE VALUE. |
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 70,000,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
(F) | OUR PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION. |
Our apparel products are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting our business, including those promulgated under the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Flammable Fabrics Act, the Textile Fiber Product Identification Act, the rules and regulations of the Consumer Products Safety Commission and related laws, as well as environmental laws and regulations. Although we plan to obtain all required federal and state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facilities, there can be no assurance that our operation and profitability will not be subject to more restrictive regulation or increased taxation by federal, state, or local agencies.
(G) | WE MAY BE LIABLE FOR THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WE PROVIDE. |
There is no guarantee that the level of insurance coverage we secure will be adequate to protect us from risks associated with claims that exceed the level of coverage maintained. As a result of our limited operations to date, no threatened or actual claims have been made upon us for product liability.
(H) | THE APPAREL INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO PRICING PRESSURES THAT MAY CAUSE US TO REDUCE THE FUTURE GROSS MARGINS FOR OUR PRODUCTS. |
Average prices in the apparel industry have been declining over the past several years, primarily as a result of the growth of the mass merchant channel of distribution, increased competition, consolidation in the retail industry and a promotional retail environment.
To be competitive, we will be required to adjust our prices in response to these industry-wide pricing pressures. Many of our competitors source their product requirements, from lesser-developed countries to achieve lower operating costs. Our competitors may possibly source from regions with lower costs than those of our sourcing partners and those competitors may apply such additional cost savings to further reduce prices.
Moreover, increased customer demands for markdown allowances, incentives and other forms of economic support reduce our gross margins and affect our profitability. Our financial performance may be negatively affected by these pricing pressures if we are forced to reduce our prices without being able to correspondingly reduce our costs for finished goods or if our costs for finished goods increase and we cannot increase our prices.
(I) | WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH CONSTANTLY CHANGING FASHION TRENDS, AND IF WE MISJUDGE CONSUMER PREFERENCES, THE IMAGE OF ONE OR MORE OF OUR BRANDS MAY SUFFER AND THE DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS MAY DECREASE. |
Our success will depend, in part, on management's ability to anticipate and respond effectively to rapidly changing fashion trends and consumer tastes and to translate market trends into appropriate, saleable product offerings. If we are unable successfully to anticipate, identify or react to changing styles or trends and misjudge the market for our products or any new product lines, our sales may be lower and we may be faced with a significant amount of unsold finished goods inventory. In response, we may be forced to increase our marketing promotions, to provide markdown allowances to our customers, or to liquidate excess merchandise, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and profitability. Our brand image may also suffer if customers believe that we are no longer able to offer innovative products, respond to the latest fashion trends or maintain the quality of our products.
Even if we are able to anticipate and respond effectively to changing fashion trends and consumer preferences, our competitors may quickly duplicate or imitate one or more aspects of our products, promotions, advertising, brand image and business processes, whether or not they are protected under applicable intellectual property law, which may materially reduce our sales and profitability.
(J) | THE LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF OUR FUTURE SUPPLIERS OF FINISHED GOODS OR RAW MATERIALS MAY INTERRUPT OUR SUPPLIES. |
We plan to purchase apparel designed by us from a limited number of third-party manufacturers. We do not have any material or long-term contracts with any of our suppliers. Furthermore, our finished goods suppliers also purchase the fabrics and accessories used in our products from a limited number of suppliers. The loss of one or more of these vendors could interrupt our supply chain and impact our ability to deliver products to our customers, which would have a material adverse effect on our net sales and profitability.
(K) | INCREASES IN THE PRICE OF RAW MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS COULD MATERIALLY INCREASE OUR COSTS AND DECREASE OUR PROFITABILITY. |
The principal fabrics used in our apparel business are made from cotton, synthetic fabrics and cotton-synthetic blends. The prices for these fabrics are dependent on the market price for the raw materials used to produce them, primarily cotton and chemical components of synthetic fabrics, and there can be no assurance that prices for these and other raw materials will not increase in the near future.
These raw materials are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, power outages, government regulations, economic climate and other unpredictable factors. Fluctuations in crude oil or petroleum prices may also influence the prices of related items such as chemicals, dyestuffs, man-made fiber and foam. Any raw material price increase would increase our cost of sales and decrease our profitability unless we are able to pass higher prices on to our customers. In addition, if one or more of our competitors is able to reduce its production costs by taking advantage of any reductions in raw material prices or favorable sourcing agreements, we may face pricing pressures from those competitors and may be forced to reduce our prices or face a decline in net sales, either of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
(L) | THE WORLDWIDE APPAREL INDUSTRY IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. |
The apparel industry is highly cyclical and heavily dependent upon the overall level of consumer spending. Purchases of apparel and related goods tend to be highly correlated with changes in the disposable income of consumers. Consumer spending is dependent on a number of factors, including actual and perceived economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income (such as unemployment, wages and salaries), business conditions, interest rates, availability of credit and tax rates in the general economy and in the international, regional and local markets where our products are sold. As a result, any deterioration in general economic conditions, reductions in the level of consumer spending or increases in interest rates could adversely affect the future sales of our products.
A return to recessionary or inflationary conditions, whether in the United States or globally, terrorist attacks or similar events could have further adverse effects on consumer confidence and spending and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
(M) | LOW-PRICED STOCKS MAY AFFECT THE RESELL OF OUR SHARES. |
Penny Stock Regulation Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "Penny Stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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). 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 that provides information about penny stocks and the risk associated with the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also 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. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock; the broker-dealer must make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. When the Registration Statement becomes effective and the Company's securities become registered, the stock will likely have a trading price of less than $5.00 per share and will not be traded on any exchanges.
Therefore, the Company's stock is initially selling at $0.01 per share they will become subject to the penny stock rules and investors may find it more difficult to sell their securities, should they desire to do so.

The board of directors may issue shares for consideration of previously authorized but unissued common stock without future stockholder action. |
| iii. | Liquidation Rights - Upon liquidation, the holders of the common stock are entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to such holders. |
| iv. | Preemptive Rights - Holders of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights. |
| v. | Conversion Rights - No shares of common stock are currently subject to outstanding options, warrants, or other convertible securities. |
| vi. | Redemption Rights - no such rights exist for shares of common stock. |
| vii. | Sinking Fund Provisions - No sinking fund provisions exist. |
| viii. | Further Liability For Calls - No shares of common stock are subject to further call or assessment by the issuer. The Company has not issued stock options as of the date of this registration statement. |
(2) | Potential Liabilities of Common Stockholders to State and Local Authorities |
No material potential liabilities are anticipated to be imposed on stockholders under state statutes. Certain Nevada regulations, however, require regulation of beneficial owners of more than 5% of the voting securities. Stockholders that fall into this category, therefore, may be subject to fines in circumstances where non-compliance with these regulations are established.
B. Preferred Stock
The authorized preferred stock of the corporation consists of 5,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.
The Company has not issued any preferred stock to date, nor have they developed the descriptive attributes of these preferred shares. The Company can issue shares of preferred stock in series with such preferences and designations as its board of directors may determine. The board of directors can, without shareholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation, and conversion rights. This could dilute the voting strength of the holders of common stock and may help BICV's management impede a takeover or attempted change in control.
The Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock of the Company may be issued from time to time without prior approval by the stockholders. The Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock may be issued for such consideration as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may issue such shares of Common and/or Preferred Stock in one or more series, with such voting powers, designations, preferences and rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated in the resolution of resolutions.

The Company provided Moore with a copy of the disclosures contained herein and requested Moore furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Moore agrees with the above statements, and if not, the respects in which Moore does not agree. A copy of the letter from Moore is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
