PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
As used in this prospectus, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Digital Valleys Corp., unless the context otherwise indicates.
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
Corporate Background
Digital Valleys Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 21, 2007. We are a development stage company. From our inception to date, we have not generated any revenues, and our operations have been limited to organizational, start-up, and capital formation activities. We currently have no employees. Our plan of operation is to develop an online help desk customer support system to assist service companies in improving their customer relationship management. We expect our system to be used by organizations interested in improving their customer relationship management by automating their customer support and by establishing a centralized help desk.
Our offices are currently located at Suite 100, 1100 Dexter Ave. North, Seattle, Washington 98109. Our telephone number is (206) 273-7892. Our internet website is under construction at www.digitalvalleys.com.
Our auditors have issued an audit opinion which includes a statement describing their doubts about whether we will continue as a going concern. In addition, our financial status creates substantial doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following factors and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our company. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth would likely suffer. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Company
1. We are a development stage company with no operating history and may never be able to effectuate our business plan or achieve any revenues or profitability; at this stage of our business, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their entire investment.
We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. Our Company was established on May 21, 2007. We currently have no products, sales, customers, or revenues. Although we have begun initial investigations into the customer relationship management industry, we may not be able to successfully implement our business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve any revenues or profitability. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations is unproven, and the lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of our business. We have not generated any revenues to date. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business, and our Company is a highly speculative venture involving a high degree of financial risk.
2. We expect losses in the future because we have no revenue to offset losses.
As we have no current revenue, we are expecting losses over the next 12 months because we do not yet have any revenues to offset the expenses associated with the development and implementation of our business plan. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in generating revenues in the future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.
3. We have a going concern opinion from our auditors, indicating the possibility that we may not be able to continue to operate.
We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues. Furthermore, we anticipate generating losses for the next 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern, and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in their report on our financial statements for the period May 21, 2007 (inception) to April 30, 2008. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations and reducing operating expenses. Our business strategy may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us.
8
4. We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.
Our capital requirements in connection with our development activities and transition to commercial operations have been and will continue to be significant. We will require additional funds to continue research, development, and testing of our technologies and product, as well as to market and sell our product. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. There is no assurance additional funds will be available from any source; or, if available, such funds may not be on terms acceptable to the Company. In either of the aforementioned situations, the Company may not be able to fully implement its growth plans. Moreover, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of stock by our selling stockholders, and thus this offering will not affect our ability to meet capital requirements.
5. We will rely on third parties to develop our product.
We intend to retain third party firms for software development, database design, and other development functions. We also plan to locate and enter into an agreement with a web developer for the purpose of developing our website for direct sales of our products to consumers. As a result, we expect to be dependent on those third party firms that we engage. There is no assurance that we will be able to enter into contracts with any such third parties on terms that are favorable to us. If any of our third party contractors breaches the contract or does not have the ability, for financial or other reasons, to perform its obligations, we may not be able to implement our business plan. In addition, our reliance on third parties may place us at a competitive disadvantage.If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
6. The use of independent sales representatives or distributors will subject us to certain risks.
We expect to generate a substantial portion of our revenue from independent sales representatives or distributors. Such representatives and distributors may not be required to meet sales quotas and our ability to manage independent sales representatives or distributors to performance standards is unknown. Failure to generate revenue from these sales representatives or distributors would have a negative impact on our business.
7. We may not be able to compete with current and potential competitors, some of whom have greater resources and experience than we do.
We may not have the resources to compete with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We intend to compete with many providers of customer relations software, as well as with providers of help desk services, all of which may have significantly greater personnel, financial, and managerial resources than we have. Competition from other companies with greater resources and experience may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.
Moreover, as the demand for virtual customer support increases, new companies may enter the market and the influx of added competition will pose an increased risk to our Company. Increased competition may lead to price wars, which may harm us since we would be unable to compete with companies with greater resources.
8. Since our sole officer and Director may continue to work or consult for other companies, his other activities could slow down our operations.
Our sole officer and Director is not required to work exclusively for us and does not devote all of his time to our operations. Presently, our sole officer and Director allocates only a portion of his time to the
9
operation of our business. Since our sole officer and Director is currently employed full-time elsewhere, he is able to commit to us only up to 20 to 25 hours a week. Therefore, his pursuit of other activities may slow our operations and reduce our financial results because of the slow-down in operations.
9. Our sole officer and Director is located in the Philippines.
Since our sole officer and Director is located in the Philippines, any attempts to enforce liabilities upon such individual under the U.S. securities and bankruptcy laws may be difficult.
10. We need to retain key personnel to support our business and ongoing operations.
The development of our business and the marketing and sale of our intended product will continue to place a significant strain on our limited personnel, management, and other resources. Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officer and the engagement of key employees and contractors who have critical industry experience and relationships that we will rely on to implement our business plan. The loss of the services of our sole officer or the lack of availability of other skilled personnel would negatively impact our ability to develop our company and to market and sell our intended product, which could adversely affect our financial results and impair our growth.
11. As a development stage company, we may experience substantial cost overruns in developing and marketing our product, and we may not have sufficient capital to successfully complete the development and marketing of our product.
We may experience substantial cost overruns in developing and marketing our product, and may not have sufficient capital to successfully complete our project. We may not be able to market our product because of industry conditions, general economic conditions, and/or competition from potential developers and distributors. In addition, the commercial success of any product is often dependent upon factors beyond the control of the company attempting to market the product, including, but not limited to, market acceptance of the product and whether or not third parties promote the product through prominent marketing channels and/or other methods of promotion.
12. If our software product contains undetected software errors, we could incur significant unexpected expenses and lose sales.
Software products frequently contain undetected errors, failures, or bugs when new products or new versions or updates of existing products are first released to the marketplace. As with any new product introduction, previously unaddressed errors or issues with our product’s performance may arise. We expect that such errors will be found in the future from time to time in our product. These problems may have a material adverse effect on our business by causing us to incur significant QA and bug-fix costs, diverting the attention of our development personnel from new product development efforts, delaying the recognition of revenue, and causing significant customer relations problems. Further, if our product is not accepted by customers due to defects, our operating results would be adversely affected.
Furthermore, our product must properly interface with products from other vendors. As a result, when problems occur in the operation of our product, it may be difficult to identify the source of these problems. The occurrence of software errors, even if not caused by our product, could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our product and any necessary revisions to improve interoperability may cause us to incur significant expenses. The occurrence of any such problems would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
10
13. Our inability to attain and protect intellectual property rights could reduce the value of our products, services, and brand.
Potential trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights may be important assets for us. Various events outside of our control pose a threat to our ability to attain or protect the intellectual property rights associated with our product. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which our product will be distributed or made available through the internet. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our ability to attain or protect our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming. Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual property by others could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating results.
14. Our executive officer owns a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and other stockholders may not be able to influence control of the company or decision making by management of the company.
Our sole officer and Director presently owns 69.56% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, our sole executive officer has substantial control over all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the following matters: election of our Board of Directors; removal of any of our Directors; amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws; and adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover, or other business combination involving us. Other stockholders may consider the corporate decisions made by our executive officer to be inconsistent with the interests of these stockholders. In addition, other stockholders may not be able to change the Directors and officers, and are accordingly subject to the risk that management cannot or will not manage the affairs of the Company in accordance with such stockholders’ wishes.
15. Customer relationship management systems are subject to rapid technological change.
Our business is in an emerging market that is characterized by rapid changes in customer requirements, frequent introductions of new and enhanced products and services, and continuing and rapid technological advancement. To compete successfully in the customer support systems market, we must continue to design, develop, and sell new and enhanced systems that provide increasingly higher levels of performance and reliability at lower cost. These new and enhanced systems must take advantage of technological advancements and changes, and respond to new customer requirements. Our success in designing, developing, and selling such systems will depend on a variety of factors, including:
- Identifying and responding to market demand for new customersupport systems;
- The scalability of our equipment platforms to efficiently deliver ourproduct;
- Keeping abreast of technological changes;
- Timely developing and implementing new and enhanced features;
- Maintaining quality of performance;
- Providing cost-effective support services; and
- Promoting our customer support system and expanding our marketshare.
11
If we are unable, due to resource constraints or technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new or enhanced customer support systems in a timely manner, if such new or enhanced systems do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, or if such new systems decrease demand for our existing customer support systems, our operating results would decline and our business would not grow.
16. Because Mr. Pati has no experience in running a company that develops and sells customer relationship management systems, he may not be able to successfully operate such a business, which could cause you to lose your investment.
We are a start-up company and we intend to market and sell our customer support system. Mr. Pati, our Director and President, has control over all decisions regarding both the policy and the operations of our company. Our success is contingent upon his ability to make appropriate business decisions in these areas. It is possible that his lack of relevant operational experience could prevent us from becoming a profitable business and prevent an investor from obtaining a return on his investment in us.
17. Future regulation of the internet could restrict our business, prevent us from offering services, and/or increase our cost of doing business.
The laws, regulations, or rulings that specifically address access to or commerce on the internet are subject to change. We are unable to predict the impact, if any, that future legislation, judicial precedents, or regulations concerning the internet may have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Regulation may be targeted towards, among other things, assessing access or settlement charges, imposing taxes related to internet communications, restricting content, imposing tariffs, or regulations based on encryption concerns or the characteristics and quality of products and services, any of which could restrict our business or increase our cost of doing business. The increasing growth of the internet and popularity of broadband video products and services heighten the risk that governments or other legislative bodies will seek to regulate internet services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
18. We may lose customers if we experience system failures that significantly disrupt the availability and quality of the support services that we plan to provide.
The operation of our support services will depend on our ability to avoid and mitigate any interruptions in service or reduced capacity for customers. Interruptions in service or software performance problems, for whatever reason, could undermine confidence in our ability to provide service to our customers, and could cause us to lose customers or make it more difficult to attract new ones. In addition, because our support services may be critical to the businesses of our customers, any significant interruption in the provision of service could result in lost profits or other losses to our customers.
19. If a third party asserts that we infringe its proprietary rights, we could be required to redesign our software, pay significant royalties, or enter into license agreements.
Although presently we are not aware of any such claims, a third party may assert that our technology or third party technologies that we license violate its intellectual property rights. As the number of software products in our market increases and the functionality of these software products further overlap, we believe that infringement claims will become more common. Any claims against us, regardless of their merit, could:
- Be expensive and time-consuming to defend;
- Result in negative publicity;
12
- Force us to stop selling our any product that relies on the challenged intellectual property;
- Require us to redesign our software products;
- Divert management’s attention and our other resources; or
- Require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to obtain the right to usenecessary technologies, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
We believe that any successful challenge to our use of a trademark or domain name could substantially diminish our ability to conduct business in a particular market or jurisdiction and thus could decrease our revenues and/or result in losses to our business.
Risks Relating To Our Common Stock
20. We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would dilute investors’ percentage of ownership and may reduce our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 2,300,000 shares are issued and outstanding. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. 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.
21. Our common shares are subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
- that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
- the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forththe identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
- obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
- make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that personand the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable ofevaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
- sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
- that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to thetransaction.
13
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
22. There is no current trading market for our securities and if a trading market does not develop, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty selling their shares.
There is currently no established public trading market for our securities and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. We intend to have a market maker apply for admission to quotation of our securities on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board after the registration statement relating to this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC. We do not yet have a market maker who has agreed to file such application. If for any reason our common stock is not quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the shares may have difficulty selling their common stock should they desire to do so. No market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our common stock and none may do so.
23. State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus.
Secondary trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
24. Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless the value of such shares appreciates and they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
14
Risks Relating to Doing Business in the Philippines
25. The Philippines periodically experiences political or economic instability, which could disrupt our operations, increase our costs and harm our business.
The Philippines continues to experience low growth in its gross domestic product, significant inflation and a shortages of foreign exchange. We are exposed to the risk of rental and other cost increases due to inflation in the Philippines, which has historically been at a much higher rate than in the United States. These conditions could create political or economic instability that could harm businesses operating in the Philippines.
In addition, the Philippines has and may continue to experience political instability, including strikes, demonstrations, protests, marches, coups d’état, guerilla activity or other types of civil disorder. These instabilities and adverse changes in the political environment in the Philippines could increase our operational costs, increase our exposure to legal and business risks and make it more difficult for us to operate our business in the Philippines.
THE OFFERING
This prospectus relates to the resale by certain selling stockholders of the Company of up to 700,000 shares of our common stock. Such shares were offered and sold by us at a purchase price of $0.05 per share to the selling stockholders in private placements conducted in January 2008 pursuant to the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act. As of January 2008, the Company had fully subscribed the private placement and raised $35,000 in gross proceeds.
The selling stockholders will be offering the shares of common stock being covered by this prospectus at a price of $0.05 per share until a market develops and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common shares being offered for sale by the selling stockholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling stockholders will be offering the shares of common stock being covered by this prospectus at a price of $0.05 per share until a market develops and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The offering price of $0.05 per share is based on the price at which the selling stockholders purchased the shares from us. Such offering price does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Because we have no significant operating history, the price of our common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of our common stock indicative of the current market value of the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market.

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not declared or paid dividends on our Common Stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FISCAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion of our plan of operation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus.All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.
Overview
We have not generated any revenue since our inception. We are a development stage company with limited operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months.
Plan of Operation
We are developing an online help desk customer support system to assist service companies in improving their customer relationship management. We expect our system to be used by organizations interested in improving their customer relationship management by automating their customer support and by establishing a centralized help desk.
We plan for our software product to be capable of providing a generic solution across a broad range of industries.
During the next twelve months following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operation:
First Quarter:
During the first three months, we plan to:
- Initiate our software development activities
- Initiate the development of our corporate and marketing collateral
Software development: We will search for the services of a third party independent software developer. We intend for the software developer to supply his or her own computer, software, and high-speed Internet connection. During months 1 and 2, we intend to coordinate with the software contractor on the development of the software specifications and on a high level design. The specifications will be in the form of a document that will describe the product, the Company’s database, and the way the product interacts with the customers. High-level design will include identifying the different components of the software and how they interact with each other.
Marketing activities: By the end of month 1, we plan to retain an independent graphic and web designer. We expect that such independent contractor will finish developing our corporate collateral (including logo, business cards, letterheads, stationeries, and e-mail forms) by the end of month 2. We also plan to
19
develop and complete our information-only website, which we expect to be completed by the end of the first quarter.
Second Quarter:
During this quarter, we expect to focus on the development of our software product.
Software development: During this period, the actual software development will commence. By the end of the quarter we expect to have a beta version ready for testing.
Marketing activities: During this quarter, we plan to start researching ways to market our website and product. We will also identify third party websites that we hope will sell our software. We will also plan our online marketing plan.
Third Quarter:
Software development: During this period we will test the beta version of the software and modify the software as needed to finalize development. We expect the final version of the software to be finalized by the end of this quarter. At this point, we will also put a trial version of the software online for download.
Marketing activities: During this quarter we plan to finalize agreements with third party websites for the sale of our software. In addition, we will work on search engine optimization so that when people conduct key word searches on Google and Yahoo our Company will appear as a hit. We also plan to place online banner ads on various strategic websites.
Fourth Quarter:
Software development: We intend to complete the development of our product by the end of the Fourth Quarter. Initially we plan to sell our product as a download-only product, since this will minimize our costs. Potential customers will be able to purchase the software product directly from our website.
Marketing activities: We plan to circulate news releases to industry professionals and distribute complimentary demonstration versions of our product sent to select professionals to gain market exposure and publicity. We will also start a targeted email campaign.
Activities to Date
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 21, 2007. We are a development stage company. From our inception to date, we have not generated any revenues, and our operations have been limited to organizational, start-up, and capital formation activities. We currently have no employees. To date, we have conducted market research, started work on a corporate information-only website, and researched third party software development firms.
Results of Operations
During the period from May 21, 2007 (date of inception) through April 30, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $7,367. This loss consisted primarily of incorporation costs and administrative expenses. Since inception, we have sold 2,300,000 shares of common stock.
20
Purchase or Sale of Equipment
We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment.
Revenues
We had no revenues for the period from May 21, 2007 (date of inception) through April 30, 2008. We believe that we will be able to commence the marketing and distribution of our products in the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of April 30, 2008, reflects assets of $55,072. Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to operate to date.
We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future. If we require additional capital, we would have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, or through any other source.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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.
Seasonality
We do not expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and services.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
21
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview of the Company
We are a development stage company that was incorporated on May 21, 2007. We have commenced only limited operations, primarily focused on organizational matters in connection with this offering. We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. We have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has the Company been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations.

We have not generated any revenue to date and we do not expect to generate any revenues during the first 12 months following this offering.
We are developing an online help desk customer support system to assist service companies in improving their customer relationship management. We expect our system to be used by organizations interested in improving their customer relationship management by automating their customer support and by establishing a centralized help desk.
We plan for our software product to be capable of providing a generic solution across a broad range of industries.
Our offices are currently located at 1100 Dexter Ave. North, Suite 100, Seattle, Washington 98109. We do not currently have a website; however, we have reserved a domain name.
The Market Opportunity
The customer relationship management (“CRM”) market is experiencing explosive growth.
In 2002, the U.S. accounted for $7.14 billion of the world-wide CRM market, and the U.S. market is expected to swell to $9.19 billion by 2006. (“Moderate, Steady CRM Growth through 2006” by Robyn Greenspan (July 3, 2003)). The U.S is expected to maintain approximately 52 percent of the total market through 2006.
The concept of a single point of contact for customers to refer questions and seek assistance to solve problems has become a ubiquitous feature of modern business. (“Delivering High Value in Service and Support,” by Rhion H Jones and FrontRange Solutions UK Ltd.). Help desks reduce downtime and reduce the time to fix errors based on previous learning history. Help desks ensure better use of resources, improved procurement decisions, higher customer satisfaction and retention, and increases in profitability, as customers will spend more with a firm that provides superior service.
We expect corporations to continue to make efforts to please their customers. Research from the Aberdeen Group forecasts worldwide CRM spending to exhibit moderate, yet steady, growth in the coming years. Aberdeen estimates that 2002’s spending of $13.7 billion will swell to $17.7 billion in 2006, resulting in a 6.7 percent compound annual growth rate.
22
Hosted, subscription-based CRM software offerings from independent software vendors and systems integrators will drive growth, with revenues expected to soar from $246 million to $2.8 billion through 2006. (Moderate, Steady CRM Growth through 2006 by Robyn Greenspan | July 3, 2003.)
Historically, help desk software has been used by IT professionals and high tech firms. Now, help desk software is used in a broad range of industries including; healthcare, finance, telecommunications, oil and gas industries, government, banking, utilities, insurance and retail.
The importance of customer relationship management is highlighted by two recent market studies. The “Research Store – The Danger of Defection” study by ecustomerserviceworld.com concluded that companies need to improve their retention strategies to stem customer defection rates. According to this study:
- Customer defection rates in UK consumer studies have increased since 2003.
- Average customer defection rate is 19.1% in the UK.
- Internet service providers have one of the highest defection rates at 24%.
- Data driven marketing techniques are successful in retaining customers.
- Over half of top UK companies are now able to translate sophisticated database analysis intohighly personalized and segmented campaigns, where creative, message, and enclosures arevaried for different types of recipients.
- A 5% increase in customer loyalty can lead to a 25-85% increase in profitability.
The “Delivering High Value in Service and Support” study by Rhion H Jones and FrontRange Solutions UK Ltd. concluded that help desks increase overall efficiency and customer satisfaction, thus leading to increased retention rates. According to this study:
- Whether or not the term “help desk” is used, the concept of a single point of contact for customers to refer questions and seek assistance to solve problems has become a ubiquitous feature of modern businesses.
- There are an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 help desks in operation throughout the world. This is a sub-set of the wider call center phenomenon, which is estimated to employ 5 million people worldwide (source: IHA Ltd).
- The term “help desk” is now used to describe any call center or part of a call center which handles complex problem-solving and associated processes.
- By the year 2000, the help desk model has become firmly established for IT support in most advanced western-style countries, though with different market penetration levels.
- Despite the range and variety of help desks, they all share the characteristic of being an investment (approved and implemented in the last 10 years or so) which was prompted by perceptions of value.
- Help desks reduce downtime not only by ensuring a faster fix for problems affecting system performance, but also by providing essential information which managers can use to reduce the likely recurrence of such problems.
- In a typical help desk, the cost of fixing a single problem depends partly on the level of skill required. First-line staff can be trained far quicker than more technically proficient Second-line personnel; the real experts who act as third-line staff are often among the most valuable people in an organization. The cost of resolution at second-level is frequently up to ten times the cost of a similar fix at first level; for third-line resolutions the cost multiplier can be another 10 times (source: Fry Consulting, 1999). Utilization of staff is therefore an important driver of overall efficiency
- Customers spend more with product and service providers who use help desk technology toprovide customer service.
23
Target Market
The customer base for our proposed system includes:
- Small and medium sized businesses that provide services to their clients and are looking fora help desk solution to support their products and services.
- Small and medium sized businesses that provide services to their clients and want to enhancetheir customer support image and provide faster customer support via email and internetforms.
We will initially focus our sales in the United States as we know this market and it represents asignificant opportunity in terms of sales potential.
The market is sophisticated, software savvy, and educated in terms of the need to improve customersupport and customer relationship management.
Our Competition
There are currently other providers of similar software programs providing customer support help desks. Customer relationship management is a large and growing industry in the United States. Competitive pressures and customer demands fuel the growth in the industry.
Many of our competitors in this industry are located in the United States. While there are many competitors, the industry supports a large number of competitors as demand is huge and growing.
Most software packages are generic, using a cookie cutter approach to software design and implementation. Our initial product will be generic as it can be used in a wide range of businesses. Nevertheless, our future goal will be differentiate our product from the competition by tailoring oursoftware to niche markets.
The competition’s pricing ranges from $300 to several thousand dollars. Pricing is based on a selling price, an initial fee, and monthly maintenance. To compete with our competition, we plan to devise an aggressive sales strategy, including competitive pricing, to support growth.
Our Software Product
Our software product will address:
- Problem Management and Workflow,
- Knowledge Management, and
- Data Analysis and Reporting.
Our proposed solution will be comprised of a number of integrated modules that we expect will assist organizations with solving their customer’s issues quickly and reliably.
We intend for our system to be web-based which will allow our customers to access the system from their intranet or from the internet. The Intranet mode will allow internal users of a customer’s organization to access the system via the customer’s intranet. The Internet mode will allow off-site employees to access the system via the internet.
24
We plan for customers to be able to access our software product via two different means, Email and Web forms.

Sources and Availability of Products and Supplies
There are no constraints on the sources or availability of products and supplies related to our business. We will be producing our own product, and the distribution of our product will be over the internet.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
Our business plan and the nature of our product does not hinge on one or a few major customers; however, if we obtain one or more large corporate accounts, then we may end up being dependent on one or a few major customers.
Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions
We have not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to, obligations or concessions. We are planning to develop a software product and intend to protect our software product via copyright and trade secrecy laws.
Existing or Probable Government Regulations
There are no existing government regulations, nor are we aware of any regulations being contemplated that would adversely affect our ability to operate.
Due to the increasing popularity and use of the internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the internet generally, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, and characteristics and quality of products and services. Similarly, the growth and development of the market for internet commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business over the internet. The adoption of any such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of commerce over the internet, increase our cost of doing business, or otherwise have a harmful effect on our business.
30
To date, governmental regulations have not materially restricted the use or expansion of the internet. However, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the Internet is uncertain and may change. New laws may cover issues that include:
- Sales and other taxes;
- User privacy;
- Pricing controls;
- Characteristics and quality of products and services;
- Consumer protection;
- Libel and defamation;
- Copyright, trademark and patent infringement; and
- Other claims based on the nature and content of internet materials.
These new laws may have an impact on our ability to market our services in accordance with our business plan.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We have not incurred any costs to date and have plans to undertake certain research and development activities during our first year of operation. For a detailed description see “Plan of Operation”.
Employees
We have commenced only limited operations; therefore, we have no employees. Our sole officer and Director provides services to us on an as-needed basis. When we commence full operations, we will need to hire full-time management and administrative support staff.
Reports to Stockholders
We will voluntarily make available to stockholders an annual report, including audited financials, on Form 10-K. We are not currently a fully reporting company, but upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; such as quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
31
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We do not own any real property. We currently maintain our corporate office at 1100 Dexter Ave. North, Suite 100, Seattle, Washington 98109. We pay monthly rent of $190 for use of this space. This space is sufficient until we commence full operations.
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
Directors and Executive Officers
Set forth below are the names, ages and present principal occupations or employment, and material occupations, positions, offices or employments for the past five years of our current sole Director and executive officer.
Name and Business Address | Age | Position | |
Felipe A Pati | 40 | President, Treasurer, | |
Secretary and Director |
Dr. Felipe A Patijoined our company in May 2007. Dr. Pati is serving as the President, Treasurer, Secretary and sole Director of the Company. Dr. Pati received his Masters in Computer Science in 2001 from De La Salle University in Manila Philippines, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy in Management in 2006 from University of the Cordilleras, Baguio City, Philippines.
Currently Dr. Pati is a professor at Saint Louis University in Baguio City, Philippines. He teaches in the Information and Computer Science Department in both the Graduate and Undergraduate programs.
Before that, from 2001 to 2006, Dr. Pati was Department Head and Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of the Cordilleras in Baguio City, Philippines.
Board Composition
Our bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of one or more members. Each Director of the Company serves for a term of one year or until the successor is elected at the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting and is qualified, subject to removal by the Company’s stockholders. Each officer serves, at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, for a term of one year and until the successor is elected at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors and is qualified.
No Committees of the Board of Directors; No Financial Expert
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Nor do we have an audit committee “financial expert”. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee.
Auditors; Code of Ethics
Our principal registered independent auditor is Moore & Associates Chartered. We do not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial, and accounting officers.
32
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our Directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with our current sole executive officer and Director.
Director Independence
We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” We do not believe that any of our sole Director currently meets the definition of “independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange.
Involvement in Legal Proceedings
Our sole Director has not appeared as a party during the past five years in any legal proceedings that may bear on his ability or integrity to serve as a Director or officer of the Company.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Summary Compensation
Since our incorporation on May 21, 2007, we have not paid any compensation to our Director or sole executive officer in consideration for services rendered to our Company. We have no employment agreements with our Director and sole executive officer. We have no pension, health, annuity, bonus, insurance, stock options, profit sharing, or similar benefit plans.
Since our incorporation on May 21, 2007, no stock options or stock appreciation rights have been granted to our Director and sole executive officer. Our executive officer and sole Director has not exercised any stock options or stock appreciation rights, and he does not hold any unexercised stock options. We have no long-term incentive plans.
Outstanding Equity Awards
Our Director and sole officer does not have unexercised options, stock that has not vested, or equity incentive plan awards.

There are no arrangements for our sole Director and officer that would result from a change-in-control.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table lists, as of August 5, 2008, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and Director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and Directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal stockholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.
The percentages below are calculated based on 2,300,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of August 5, 2008. We do not have any outstanding options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock. The address of Felipe A Pati is 87 Sta. Scholastica Village, Baguio City, Philippines.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This prospectus relates to the registration of 700,000 shares of common stock on behalf of the selling stockholders
There is no current market for our shares
There has been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange or on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. After the effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market maker file an application with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. for our common stock to be eligible for trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market maker who has agreed to file such application. The selling stockholders will be offering our shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share until a market develops and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
34
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock on any market upon which the common stock may be listed or quoted (anticipated to be the OTC Bulletin Board in the United States), in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such sales may be at fixed prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the market prices or at negotiated prices. Moreover, the shares of common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: (a) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; (b) privately negotiated transactions; (c) market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws); (d) at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares; (e) through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and (f) a combination of any of the aforementioned methods of sale.
In the event of the transfer by any of the selling stockholders of its common stock to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his, her or its shares.
In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a selling stockholder or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stock holder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described above.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
From time to time, any of the selling stockholders may pledge shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements with brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, their broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required in the event any of the selling stockholders defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.
To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions
35
allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction.
We and the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as a selling stockholder is a distribution participant and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.
All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.
Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
Penny Stock Regulations
You should note that our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. 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 in a form prepared by the SEC which 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 given 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. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
36
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
If a selling stockholder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this registration statement in the United States, the selling stockholders will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemption from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor’s. The broker for a selling stockholder will be able to advise such selling stockholder if the secondary sale of our common stock is exempt from registration within a certain state.
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling stockholder under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.
When the registration statement becomes effective, and a selling stockholder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether it will need to register or will rely on an exemption there from.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Other than the transactions discussed below and the compensation arrangements which are described under the section of this prospectus entitled “Executive Compensation”, we have not entered into any transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any of our Directors, executive officers, stockholders or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.
On May 21, 2007, we issued 1,600,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Felipe A Pati, the President, Treasurer and a Director of the Company. The shares were issued in exchange for payment in the amount of $20,000. The shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Mr. Pati is a Director and officer of the Company and had access to all of the information which would be required to be included in a registration statement, and the transaction did not involve a public offering.
As at March 31, 2008, there is a balance owing to our sole stockholder in the amount of $2,939 for the prepayment of certain general and administrative expenses incurred with regard to incorporating the Company and rent.
Our sole officer and Director may be considered a promoter of the Company due to his participation in and management of the business since its incorporation.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of our capital stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation which has been filed as an exhibit to our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
37
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of which 2,300,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of August __, 2008. Each holder of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to the vote of stockholders, including the election of Directors. The holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or cumulative voting rights. There is no provision in our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our Company.
Warrants and Options
Currently, there are no warrants, options or other convertible securities outstanding.
Stockholders
As of August 5, 2008, there were 2,300,000 common shares issued and outstanding, which were held by 36 stockholders of record.
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of Directors, can elect all of the Directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our Directors.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed Island Stock Transfer as the transfer agent for our shares of common stock. Island Stock Transfer is located at 100 Second Avenue South, Suite 104 N., St. Petersburg, Florida 33701.
The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our issued and outstanding common stock.
Admission to Quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board
We intend to have a market maker file an application for our common stock to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, we do not have a market maker that has agreed to file such application. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a stockholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that
(1) it is not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and
(2) the securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers rather than the “specialist” common to stock exchanges.
To qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. If it meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board our securities will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. We may not now or ever qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. We currently have no market maker who is willing to list quotations for our securities.
38
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
We have outstanding an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of our common stock. Of these shares, all of the 700,000 shares to be registered in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless those shares are purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
The remaining 1,600,000 shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering will be restricted as a result of securities laws. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they have been registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who is not one of our affiliates and who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are deemed restricted securities for at least six months would be entitled after such six-month holding period to sell the common stock held by such person, subject to the continued availability of current public information about us (which current public information requirement is eliminated after a one-year holding period).
A person who is one of our affiliates and who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are deemed restricted securities for at least six months would be entitled after such six-month holding period to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal 23,000 shares immediately after this offering, subject to the continued availability of current public information about us and the filing of a Form 144 notice of sale if the sale is for an amount in excess of 5,000 shares or for an aggregate sale price of more than $50,000 in a three-month period.
LEGAL MATTERS
We know of no existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our sole Director and executive officer or any of his affiliates, or any beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
EXPERTS
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly,
39
in the registrant or its subsidiary. Nor was any such person connected with the Registrant or any of its parents, subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, Director, officer or employee.
The financial statements included in this prospectus have been audited by Moore & Associates Chartered, as set forth in their report included in this prospectus.
The legal opinion rendered by SRK Law Offices regarding our common stock to be registered on Form S-1 is as set forth in their opinion letter included in this prospectus.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.

Digital Valleys Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Digital Valleys Corp. (A Development Stage Company) as of April 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows from inception on May 21, 2007 through April 30, 2008. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 Digital Valleys Corp. (A Development Stage Company) as of April 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows from inception on May 21, 2007 through April 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an inception to date loss of $7,367 as of April 30, 2008, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The company has limited operations and in accordance with SFAS#7 is considered to be in the development stage.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Basis
These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Financial Instrument
The Company’s financial instrument consists of amount due to stockholder.
The amount due to stockholder is non interest-bearing. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its other financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values except where separately disclosed. See Note 3 below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States 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 year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Loss Per Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, if not anti-dilutive. The Company has not issued any potentially dilutive common shares.
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings per share. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards NO. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes.
SFAS No. 109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward.
Note 3 – Due to Stockholder
The amount owing to stockholder is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms of repayment.
Note 4 – Stockholders’ Equity
Common Shares - Authorized
The company has 100,000,000 common shares authorized at a par value of $0.001 per share.
Common Shares – Issued and Outstanding
During the year, the company issued 2,300,000 common shares for total proceeds of $55,000. As at April 30, 2008, the company has no warrants or options outstanding.

Note 5 – Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
SFAS No. 109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $1,620, which is calculated by multiplying a 22% estimated tax rate by the cumulative NOL of $7,367.
Note 6 – Related Party Transaction
As at March 31, 2008, there is a balance owing to a stockholder of the Company in the amount of $2,939.
The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
Note 7 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 8 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards SFAS 150-154 and their effect on the Company.
Statement No. 150 - Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (Issued 5/03)
This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
Statement No. 151- Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (Issued 11/04)
This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “…under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and re-handling costs may be so abnormal ass to require treatment as current period charges….” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
Statement No. 152 - Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67)
This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2,Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.
This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accountingfor Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, states that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2.

Note 8 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
Statement No. 153- Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets (an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29)
The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29,Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, includes certain exceptions to the principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assts and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.
Statement No. 154 – 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. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed.
SFAS NO. 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140
This statement amends FASB Statements No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
SFAS NO. 156 Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140
This statement amends FASB Statement No. 140 with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing liabilities. An entity should adopt this statement as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
SFAS NO. 157 Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for us beginning May 1, 2008.

SFAS NO. 158 Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R))
This statement improves the financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liabilities in its statement of financial positions and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity. This statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.
SFAS NO. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain items at fair value. The objective is to improve the financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
SFAS No. 160 Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51
This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented for non-controlling interest. This statement improves comparability by eliminating diversity of methods. This statement also requires expanded disclosure.
SFAS No. 161
This statement is intended to enhance the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities as required by SFAS 133.
SFAS 162
This statement indentifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements for entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, (the GAAP hierarchy).

FIN No. 48
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48”),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. The Interpretation provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN No. 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-2, “Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 43.” EITF Issue No. 06-2 requires companies to accrue the costs of compensated absences under a sabbatical or similar benefit arrangement over the requisite service period. EITF Issue No. 06-2 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of the application of this consensus on prior period results should be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Elective retrospective application is also permitted.
Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year Misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet (iron curtain) and an income statement (rollover) approach to evaluate whether either approach results in an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB No. 108.
The FASB has replaced SFAS No. 141 with a new statement on Business Combinations that changes the way that minority interest is recorded and modified as a parent’s interest in a subsidiary changes.
The adoption of these new Statements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results or operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Set forth below are the shares of all securities of the Company sold by the Company within the last three years which were not registered under the Securities Act.
On May 21, 2007, we issued 1,600,000 shares of our common stock to Felipe A Pati our President, Treasurer, Secretary and a Director of the Company. The purchase price paid for such shares was equal to $0.0125 per share, and amounted in the aggregate to $20,000. The shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Mr. Pati is an officer of the Company and had access to all of the information which would be required to be included in a registration statement, and the transaction did not involve a public offering.
From December 2007 through January 2008, we issued 700,000 shares of common stock to 35 investors in a fully subscribed private placement made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S. The consideration paid for such shares was $0.05 per share, amounting in the aggregate to $35,000. Each purchaser represented to us that such purchaser was not a United States person (as defined in Regulation S) and was not acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a United States person. Each purchaser further represented that at the time of the origination of contact concerning the subscription for the units and the date of the execution and delivery of the subscription agreement for such units, such purchaser was outside of the United States. We did not make any offers in the United States, and there were no selling efforts in the United States. There were no underwriters or broker-dealers involved in the private placement and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.
All of the aforementioned issuances were made in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation S and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. No form of general solicitation or general advertising was conducted in connection with each of these sales.

(a)(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i)Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent afundamental 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;
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(c) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
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.
