________________
(1) Shares of common stock outstanding as of September 15, 2008.
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the information contained in this prospectus, any reports we file with the SEC and the documents referred to herein. We believe that these are the risks that we believe material to your decision to invest.
We have had a history of losses and may continue to have losses in the future. As a result, we may never become profitable, and we could go out of business.
We were formed as a Nevada corporation in March, 2005. Our wholly-owned, subsidiary, Preserve Communications Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation, was formed in May, 2003. Neither we, nor our subsidiary, have ever been profitable. We have a history of losses. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, we had net losses of $1,517 and $49,266, respectively. For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, we had a net loss of $15,673. . Our revenues depend upon the number of customers we can generate. We cannot guarantee we will ever develop a substantial number of customers. Even if we develop a substantial number of customers, there is no assurance that we will become a profitable company. We may never become profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.
Our operations are subject to our ability to successfully market our services. We have a history of losses and cannot say that we have the ability to successfully market our services. Investors could lose their entire investment in us.
Because we have had a history of losses, we cannot say that we have the ability to successfully develop and to market our database management products and services. Further, there is the possibility that our continued operations will not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses or will generate income and capital appreciation, if any, at rates lower than those anticipated or necessary to sustain the investment. Therefore, investors should consider an investment in us to be an extremely risky venture, for which they could reasonably be expected to lose their entire investment.
We currently have only one client. The loss of this client would mean the loss of our entire revenue stream. If we lose this client and cannot replace the revenue, we may go out of business.
At the present time, we have only one client, Iptimize, Inc. This client generates our only source of revenue. If we lose this client, we lose our only source of revenue. We are actively seeking other clients, but cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating either additional clients or revenue. The revenue generated by this client alone could get us close to achieving profitabililty. However, we plan to try to find additional clients to broaden our revenue base. In any case, at the present time, if we lose this client and cannot replace the revenue, we may go out of business.
Our contract with our one client calls for payment of our services in cash and stock. To the extent that we are unable to sell the stock we receive from our client at a favorable price, or at any price, we would see our revenues correspondingly reduced. If our revenues are sufficiently reduced because of our inability to sell the stock, we may not be able to operate profitably.
Our contract with our one client calls for payment of our services in cash and stock. However, given the current state of the market and the thin market capitalization of this stock, we may not be able to sell the shares at a favorable price, or at any price. To the extent that we are unable to successfully sell the stock, we would correspondingly reduce the revenues we will receive under this contract. If our revenues are sufficiently reduced because of our inability to sell the stock, we may not be able to operate profitably.
Intense competition in our market could prevent us from developing revenue and prevent us from achieving annual profitability. In either situation, we may never become profitable, fail as an organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
Our business is highly competitive. We compete with numerous established companies having substantially greater financial resources and experience than we have. There can be no guarantee that we will ever be able to compete successfully. Any competition may cause us to fail to gain or to lose clients, which could result in reduced or non-existent revenue. Competitive pressures may impact our revenues and our growth. As a result, our investors could lose their entire investment.
Our success will be dependent upon our management’s efforts. We cannot sustain profitability without the efforts of our management.
Our success will be dependent upon the decision making of our directors and executive officers. These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary to our business, but this commitment is no assurance of success. The loss of any or all of these individuals, particularly Mr. Koch, our President, could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. We have no written employment agreements with any officers and directors, including Mr. Koch. We have not obtained key man life insurance on the lives of any of our officers or directors.
Our stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the public sale price.
There has been, and continues to be, a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is not quoted in the Pink Sheets. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:
* | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
* | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates; |
* | changes in market valuations of other consulting service oriented companies, particularly those that market services such as ours; |
* | announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
* | introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for our services; |
* | the loss of one or more key clients; and |
* | departures of key personnel. |
We have no experience as a public company. We have no experience in complying with the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. If we cannot successfully comply, we may go out of business and you may lose your investment.
We have never operated as a public company. We have no experience in complying with the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to comply as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
Our stock has no public trading market and there is no guarantee a trading market will ever develop for our securities. You may never be able to liquidate your investment.
There has been, and continues to be, no public market for our common stock. An active trading market for our shares has not, and may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. You may never be able to liquidate your investment. Once a market develops, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:
* actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
* changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates;
* changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours;
* announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
* introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for our products;
* departures of key personnel.
Of our total outstanding shares as of September 15 2008, a total of 7,910,000, or approximately 87%, will be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our stock could drop significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “Penny Stocks” limit the liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our common stock is currently not quoted in any market. If our common stock becomes quoted, we anticipate that it will trade well below $5.00 per share. As a result, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our shares can be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the written purchaser’s agreement to a transaction prior to purchase. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock
The over-the-counter market for stock such as ours is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. You may never be able to liquidate your investment at price satisfactory to you.
Our securities do not currently trade in any market. However, securities of companies such as ours which do trade have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
Buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative.
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended
by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.
Resale Limitations imposed by most states will limit the ability of our shareholders to sell their securities unless they are Colorado residents.
The only state in which we plan to register this offering is Colorado. As a result, our selling shareholders may be limited in the sale of their Shares. The laws of most states require either an exemption from prospectus and registration requirements of the securities laws to sell their shares or registration for sale by this prospectus. These restrictions will limit the ability of non-residents of Colorado to sell the securities. Residents of other states must rely on available exemptions to sell their securities, such as Rule 144, and if no exemptions can be relied upon, then the selling shareholders may have to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time. Shareholders of states other than Colorado should consult independent legal counsel to determine the availability and use of exemptions to re-sell their securities.
We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock.
We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. This prospectus includes statements regarding our plans, goals, strategies, intent, beliefs or current expectations. These statements are expressed in good faith and based upon a reasonable basis when made, but there can be no assurance that these expectations will be achieved or accomplished. These forward looking statements can be identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future tense or conditional constructions “may,” “could,” “should,” etc. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and business opportunities also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.
This prospectus relates to the resale of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering.
These shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders from time to time in the over-the-counter market or on other national securities exchanges or automated interdealer quotation systems on which our common stock may be listed or quoted, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The distribution of the shares by the selling stockholders is not subject to any underwriting agreement. The selling stockholders will sell their shares at the initial offering price of $1.00 per share until the shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or a national securities exchange, at which point the selling shareholders may sell the registered shares at the prevailing market price for the shares at the time of sale. We will file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to reflect a change to the market price when the shares begin trading on a market.
Holders
As of September 15, 2008, there were fifty record holders of our common stock and there were 10,235,000 shares of our common stock outstanding.
Market Information
No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock. We intend to seek market makers to quote our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
We have no outstanding stock options or other equity compensation plans.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 require additional disclosure and documentation related to the market for penny stock and for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. Unless we can acquire substantial assets and trade at over $5.00 per share on the bid, it is more likely than not that our securities, for some period of time, would be defined under that Act as a "penny stock." As a result, those who trade in our securities may be required to provide additional information related to their fitness to trade our shares. These requirements present a substantial burden on any person or brokerage firm who plans to trade our securities and would thereby make it unlikely that any liquid trading market would ever result in our securities while the provisions of this Act might be applicable to those securities.
Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
- | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
- | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; |
- | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
- | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
- | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
- | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation; |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
- | the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
- | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
- | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
- | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
Reports
Once our registration statement under Form S-1 has been declared effective, we will be subject to certain reporting requirements and will furnish annual financial reports to our stockholders, certified by our independent accountants, and will furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.
Stock Transfer Agent
The stock transfer agent for our securities is Corporate Stock Transfer of Denver, Colorado. Their address is 3200 Cherry Creek Drive South, Suite 430, Denver, Colorado 80209. Their phone number is (303) 282-4800.
Dividend Policy
We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve future events, our future performance and our expected future operations and actions. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “future”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, “predict”, “hope”, “potential”, “continue”, or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are only our predictions and involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our actual results or actions may differ materially from these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the matters discussed in this report under the caption “Risk Factors”. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

We began to generate revenue in 2003 through our wholly owned subsidiary. However, we have a history of losses. Furthermore, our losses may continue into the future. We have never had a profitable fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we had a net loss of $49,266. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we had a net loss of $1,517. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had a net loss of $21,656. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had a net profit of $25,103.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we had revenues of $129,005. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we had revenues of $196,397. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had revenues of $8,599, which compared to revenues of $140,505 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The revenues for all of the relevant periods in this discussion came from sales of services in our subsidiary, Preserve Communications Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation. Our revenues have decreased significantly compared to our revenues for the last fiscal year. We believe that our revenue model is responsible for these fluctuations in revenue.
In 2006, we charged each client an average of $2,000 per month for our services. We believe that we were successful in generating clients at that revenue level. However, a client needs our services for between six and twelve months and typically does not renew.
At the end of 2007, we decided to develop a higher volume of clients and to change our price structure to an average of $1,000 per month per client to achieve this increased volume. The actual result which we began to see in 2008 was fewer clients paying lower fees, with the result that we had much lower revenue.
Our new model is to focus on fewer and higher paying clients. In August, 2008, we signed a consulting agreement through our wholly-owned subsidiary with Iptimize, Inc., a public company. This contract, which began on September 1, 2008, runs through August 31, 2009. The potential revenue from this agreement is $10,000 per month, allocated $5,000 in cash and $5,000 in securities. As of October 15, 2008, we had received two cash payments of $5,000 each under this contract. We have also received 40,000 shares of securities.
We must sell the securities we receive under the contract to generate cash, but believe that there is a sufficient market in these securities for us to realize the equivalent of $5,000 per month in sales during the life of the contract. However, given the current state of the market and Iptimize’s thin market capitalization, we may not be able to sell the shares at a favorable price, or at any price, which would correspondingly reduce the revenues we will receive under this contract.
At the present time, Iptimize is our only client and generates our only source of revenue. If we lose this client, we lose our only source of revenue. We are actively seeking other clients, but cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating either additional clients or revenue. The revenue generated by this client alone could get us close to achieving profitabililty. However, we plan to try to find additional clients to broaden our revenue base. In any case, at the present time, if we lose this client and cannot replace the revenue, we may go out of business.
This is our new revenue model, which we believe could result in our operations becoming profitable by the end 2009, provided that we can keep our general and administrative costs under control and can generate an additional client at the same revenue level.
We plan to increase our marketing costs in 2009. In order to generate additional revenue, we believe that we must aggressively market our services. We are currently planning to do so. Our ability to attract new clients is related to our marketing efforts, including the use of referrals.
Operating expenses, which includes depreciation and general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was $178,271. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we had operating expenses of $197,914. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had operating expenses of $30,255. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had operating expenses of $115,402. The decrease in operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 is attributable to no data base costs, no salaries being paid, as well as a decrease in legal fees and marketing costs. The major components of operating expenses include salaries, rental of data base, marketing costs, professional fees, which consist of legal and accounting costs, and telephone expenses.
Because our operating expenses our major professional fees have been paid for the year, operating expenses are expected to remain fairly constant as sales improve except for costs associated with marketing, which could cause our operating expenses to increase, although we do not believe that it would increase materially. The cost of renting the data base is a fixed cost, which we have begun to pay again to service our client. Hence each additional sale has minimal offsetting operating expense. Thus, additional sales should become a profit at a higher return on sales rates as a result of not needing to expand our operational expenses at the same pace. Our marketing costs have been approximately $ 10,000 per year, which was used primarily for attending conferences. We plan to continue to focus our marketing in the Denver Metropolitan area through referrals for the remainder of 2008, so we do not believe that our marketing costs will increase substantially through the end of 2008.
.We decided to become a public company to have greater access to the capital markets. We estimate that the costs of being a public company, including legal and accounting expenses, will be approximately $30,000 per year. We believe that this cost will be offset by our ability to raise capital, which we believe will be beneficial to our business and to our shareholders. We have no specific plans to raise capital at this time and do not anticipate developing any such activities until a trading market develops for our common shares.
To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $85,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Koch and Mr. Hinkle have agreed to loan such additional funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2008 for working capital purposes. We do not foresee the necessity of such loans, at this time. In the past, Mr. Koch and Mr. Hinkle have only made one loan to us, which has been repaid.
On the other hand, in with the support of Mr. Koch and Mr. Hinkle, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that, once a trading market has developed for our common shares, we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that such additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We may incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $80,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2008, we had cash or cash equivalents of $19,888. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we had cash or cash equivalents of $19,321.
Net cash used for operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was $33,402. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used for operating activities was $18,640. This compared to $15,812 of net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Cash flows used for investing activities for all periods were zero expect for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, which was $999. This consisted of a purchase of equipment.
Cash flows provided by financing activities for all periods were zero except for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We sold 25,000 shares of common stock during this period to an investor.
Over the next twelve months our capital costs will be approximately $10,000 to $12,000 primarily to develop operations. We plan to buy office equipment to be used in our operations.
We believe that we have sufficient capital in the short term for our current level of operations. This is because we believe that we can attract sufficient revenues within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations. Additional resources would be needed to expand into additional locations, which we have no plans to do at this time. We do not anticipate needing to raise additional capital resources in the next twelve months. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Koch and Mr. Hinkle have agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2008 for working capital purposes. We have no specific plans to raise capital at this time and do not anticipate developing any such activities until a trading market develops for our common shares. We believe that once we have developed a trading market for our common shares, we be able to develop a plan to raise additional capital.
Our primary activity will be to seek to develop clients and, consequently, our revenues. If we succeed in expanding our client base and generating sufficient sales, we will become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any manner which will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
Our plan for the next twelve months beginning July 1, 2008 is to increase our marketing program and thereby increase our revenues. With these increased revenues, we hope to be able to operate at a profit or at break even by the end of the twelve month period. Our plan is to generate more revenue to become profitable in our operations. In addition, we plan to use our referral sources to develop business.
Currently, we are conducting business only through Preserve Communications Services, Inc.and in only one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. We have no plans to expand into other locations or areas. We believe that the timing of the completion of the milestones needed to become profitable can be achieved as we are presently organized with sufficient business.
Other than the shares offered by last offering no other source of capital has been identified or sought.
If we are not successful in our operations we will be faced with several options:
1. | Cease operations and go out of business; |
2. | Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital; |
3. | Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or |
4. | Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing sources. |
Currently, we believe that we have sufficient capital or access to capital to implement our proposed business operations or to sustain them for the next twelve months. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Koch and Mr. Hinkle have agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2008 for working capital purposes.
If we can sustain profitability, we could operate at our present level indefinitely.
To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate nor have we any intention of doing so.
At the present time, we are operating from one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. Our plan is to make our operation profitable by the end of 2009. We plan to do so with increased marketing, which we believe will generate increased revenue. We estimate that we must generate approximately $85,000 in sales per year to be profitable. Our consulting agreement with Iptimize could be worth as much as $120,000 per year to us, and should get us close to profitability, assuming we can sell the securities portion of our compensation at a favorable price. We must sell the securities we receive under the contract to generate cash, but believe that there is a sufficient market in these securities for us to realize the equivalent of $5,000 per month in sales during the life of the agreement. However, given the current state of the market and Iptimize’s thin market capitalization, we may not be able to sell the shares at a favorable price, or at any price, which would correspondingly reduce the revenues we will receive under this contract. Nevertheless, we believe that the development of revenue is the only significant variable in our ability to become profitable.
Our new model is to focus on fewer and higher paying clients. In August, 2008, we signed a consulting agreement through our wholly-owned subsidiary with Iptimize, Inc., a public company. This contract, which began on September 1, 2008, runs through August 31, 2009. The potential revenue from this agreement is $10,000 per month, allocated equally between cash and securities. This is our new revenue model, which we believe could result in our operations becoming profitable by the end of our fiscal year in 2009, provided that we can keep our general and administrative costs under control and can generate an additional client at the same revenue level.
We have never been profitable. However, we believe that we can be profitable or at break even at the end of 2009, assuming sufficient revenue. Based upon our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $85,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Koch and Mr. Hinkle have agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2008 for working capital purposes.
On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations . In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We might incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $80,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business
We also are planning to rely on the possibility of referrals from clients and will strive to satisfy our clients. We believe that referrals will be an effective form of advertising because of the quality of service that we bring to clients. We believe that satisfied clients will bring more and repeat clients.
In the next 12 months, we do not intend to spend any material funds on research and development and do not intend to purchase any large equipment.
We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
We do not expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and services.
General
We were incorporated in March, 2005 to acquire Preserve Communications Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation. We conduct all operational activities through Preserve Communications Services, Inc.
In March, 2005, we issued 10,110,000 restricted common shares to various individuals for cash, past services, and for property, including the transfer of 100% of the capital stock of Preserve Communications Services, Inc. As a result, Preserve Communications Services, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
On April 15, 2005, we filed with the Colorado Division of Securities (the "Division"), Denver, Colorado, a Limited Registration Offering Statement under cover of Form RL pursuant to the Colorado Securities Code, relating to a proposed offering of 100,000 Common Shares of ours. The Registration was declared effective by the Division on May 26, 2005. The offering was closed on November 23, 2005. We raised $100,000 and sold a total of 100,000 shares in the Offering.
Preserve Communications Services, Inc. was incorporated in May, 2003 for the purposes of acting as an investor relations company, which provides its clients with professional communication services within the investment banking, brokerage, and investor community. Preserve Communications Services, Inc. has historically focused its marking efforts on micro-cap companies, designing communication strategies and databases for these clients. We work with our customers on a fee basis.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
Our address is 5445 DTC Parkway, Suite 940, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111. Our telephone number is (720) 488-5409.
Organization
We are comprised of one corporation with one wholly-owned subsidiary, Preserve Communications Services, Inc. All of our operations are conducted through this subsidiary.
Operations
We promote awareness and develop interest in our clients to the investment banking, brokerage, and investor community. We call this activity professional communications services.
We start with a database, which we rent, from which we can have access to more than 35,000 contacts in the United States. This database lists money managers, retail stock brokers, and financial analysts and publication. We have the capability in this database to target contacts by region, industry, investment style and market cap emphasis, which provides the resources to build a personalized database for each client. This personalized database can be updated and managed.
When we contract with a client, we look for those organizations and persons within our database who we believe would have an interest in our client, based upon the client company’s industry, size, and geographical location and the corresponding kinds of investments which the organizations and persons within our database have shown a historical interest in investing.
We send emails of relevant client public information to the organizations and persons within our database who we believe may be compatible with our client. This client public information can consist of press releases, company profiles, and analyst reports.
We monitor the emails and develop a list of potentially interested organizations and persons within our database. We send periodic reports to our clients concerning the interest which we have generated. Our clients then directly contact the potentially interested organizations and persons within our database to further develop interest in the company.
We charge a monthly flat fee for these services, which varies with the client. Our typical client agreement is for a period of between six and twelve months.
We also have the capability to use the client’s own shareholder database to send communications to the client’s shareholders as a method of generating awareness and continued interest among shareholders in the activities of their own company, which may cause them to further invest in their own company.
We always seek to expand our present base of clients with whom we will work. We utilize the expertise and existing business relationships of our principal officers to develop these opportunities. Each individual utilizes his previous contacts in business to develop potential opportunities. All operational decisions will be made solely by our management. Our management has had extensive experience in this business.
To the extent that management is unsuccessful in keeping expenses in line with income, failure to affect the events and goals listed herein would result in a general failure of the business. This would cause management to consider liquidation or merger.
Markets
Our marketing plan is focused completely on expanding our customer base and individual projects. As of the date hereof, we have one client, Iptimize, Inc. We are dependent upon this major customer. We utilize the expertise of our principal officers to develop our business. Each individual will utilize previous contacts in business to develop potential opportunities.
We believe that the primary reason that clients would buy from us rather than competitors would be the existing relationships that exist. We believe that client loyalty and satisfaction can be the basis for success in this business. Therefore, we always seek to develop and expand on already existing relationships to develop a competitive edge.
Clients and Competition
The development and marketing of database management products and services is very dynamic and subject to sudden change. Almost all of the companies in this industry have greater resources and expertise than the Company. We view our principal competitors as being Elite Financial Communications Group, Aurelius Consulting Group, and Pfeiffer High Investor Relations. Each of these companies represents the same type of customer base as we do. All of these companies have greater resources and operating histories than we do. Our principal effort at this point will be to develop a base of customers and projects. No single company currently dominates any portion of the market.
Competition with these companies, if they provide better services than we do. could make it difficult, if not impossible for us to compete, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Competition from larger and more established companies is a significant threat and is expected to remain so for us. Any competition may cause us to fail to gain or to lose clients, which could result in reduced or non-existent revenue. Competitive pressures may impact our revenues and our growth.

We do not pay our Directors separately for any Board meeting they attend.
Proprietary Information

Government Regulation
We do not expect to be subject to material governmental regulation. However, it is our policy to fully comply with all governmental regulation and regulatory authorities.
Research and Development
We have never spent any amount in research and development activities.

Dividends
We do not expect to pay dividends. Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial conditions.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commission or agent’s commissions. The selling stockholders have advised us that they will sell the shares of common stock from time to time in the open market, at the initial offering price of $1.00 per share, which was the price they paid for their shares, until the shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or national securities exchange, at which point the selling securities holders may sell the registered shares at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
• | any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
• | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
• | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
• | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
• | transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
• | through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
• | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
• | privately negotiated transactions; |
• | short sales; |
• | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
• | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
• | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, such broker-dealers or agents and any profit realized on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers. Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. None of the selling stockholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers, other than the initial purchasers in private transactions, purchased the shares of common stock outside of the ordinary course of business or, at the time of the purchase of the common stock, had any agreements, plans or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We are paying all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. Except as provided for indemnification of the selling stockholders, we are not obligated to pay any of the expenses of any attorney or other advisor engaged by a selling stockholder. We have not agreed to indemnify any selling stockholders against losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our common stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against the Company.
The validity of the shares of common stock to be sold in the offering will be passed upon for us by the law firm of David Wagner & Associates, P.C. This firm owns 200,000 shares of our common stock.
Our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows in this prospectus have been audited by Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C., of Aurora, Colorado, independent registered public accounting firm, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report, and are set forth in this prospectus in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of them as experts in auditing and accounting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Eagle Bend Holding Company
Greenwood Village, Colorado
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eagle Bend Holding Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle Bend Holding Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements the Company has suffered losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007 & June 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Eagle Bend Holding Company (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 1, 2006. The Company was formed to act as a holding corporation for Preserve Communication Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation actively engaged in providing investor relation and promotional services for public companies. The Company may also engage in any other business permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company. Preserve Communication Services, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on April 1, 2003. On March 10, 2006, in an acquisition classified as a transaction between parties under common control, Eagle Bend Holding Company acquired all the outstanding common shares of Preserve Communication Services, Inc. (8,910,000 Eagle Bend Holding Company common shares were issued for 7,000 common shares of Preserve Communication Services, Inc.), making Preserve Communication Services, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Bend Holding Company. The results of operations of Eagle Bend Holding Company and Preserve Communication Services, Inc. have been consolidated from March 10, 2006 forward.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bend Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.
Income tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis after services have been performed under contract terms, the service price to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company earns revenues by providing public relations services to clients, primarily through means such as corporate profiles, reports, and news releases targeted to institutional investors. The Company typically contracts for these services on a flat monthly fee basis. Some contracts are long term, and some month to month. Revenue is generally recorded on a monthly basis as earned. The Company has no refund policy as fees are only billed when earned.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under the straight line method over each item's estimated useful life. The Company's fixed assets at December 31, 2006 and 2007, and June 30, 2008 consisted of office equipment of $999 and leasehold improvements of $4,463, with corresponding accumulated depreciation at each date of $1,877, $2,635 and $3,014.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accrued payables, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet, approximates fair value.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 156, which are effective in general for an entity's fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2007. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, to improve consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, and to expand related disclosures. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, which are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has agreements in place with two corporations related by common control, whereby the Company pays the corporations a 16.67% referral fee on revenues earned from referrals by them to the Company. In 2006, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 the related party corporations were paid $35,727, $22,129 and $500 in referral fees. The Company also paid the corporations $45,000, $54,000 and $6,500 in consulting fees in 2006, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses and other items. Loss carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur.
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS 109. The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
The Company has suffered losses from operations and in all likelihood will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with marketing efforts along with general administrative expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. By doing so, the Company hopes through marketing efforts to generate revenues from its promotional services. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
