History of the Company
The Company was originally incorporated on December 7, 1983 as Primrose Gold Resources in the Province of Ontario Canada. The Company was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Rocky Mountain Brands, Inc. on December 14, 2004 with a principal business objective of developing and marketing snack foods and drinks. The Company was reclassified as a development stage company as of November 30, 2005. On September 24, 2007, the Company changed its focus to its current business plan and its’ name was changed to The Estate Vault, Inc. (“TEV” or the “Company”)
Company Overview
By using state-of-the-art technology and a secure integrated platform, we intend to provide digital software repository services to Canadians, Americans, the Chinese and others throughout the world. Our focus will be on product marketing and distribution which, in management’s view, is the area most crucial to the success of the Company. We intend to provide financial service companies, membership type organizations and employee benefit firms and their customers, among others, with proprietary software products for the secure, orderly management of personal financial and legal documents. End users will have the ability to maintain all key documents in one safe, secure and easily accessible location to assist in managing personal and financial affairs.
We intend to provide families with peace of mind knowing that should a disaster strike; access to those important documents and advisors is a keystroke or phone call away.
We believe that The Estate Vault is an easy, inexpensive, viable option for individuals who, in the back of their minds ask that simple question “What if?”
| • | | What if what happened in New Orleans happened to us? |
| • | | What if we lost everything – how would we prove it? |
| • | | What if I don’t come home because of an accident – do my loved ones or advisors know where everything is? |
The Estate Vault provides families with a viable answer to these crucial questions. We intend to utilize several marketing strategies to achieve market penetration and distribution of our innovative
1
products and services.
Our Products and Services
The Estate Vault has been developed, tested and is now ready to be brought to market. Our product is a management software system intended to provide service oriented companies and their customers with a secure and orderly system for the management of personal financial and legal documents. This allows end users to maintain all key documents in one safe, secure and easily accessible location. We believe our product is uniquely suited to be distributed by agents of companies in the North American financial services industry, which is very large and covers many sectors such as:
| | | | |
• Banks • Stock Brokerages • Retirement Management | | • Insurance • Merchant Banks • Financial Advisories | | • Mutual Funds • Wealth Management • Security Management |
|
Affinity Organizations |
• Travel Associations | | • Retirement Associations | | • Retail Clubs |
According to LIMRA and the FINRA, in North America, there 5,000 brokerage firms, about 173,000 branch offices and approximately 677,000 registered securities representatives, 1,800 insurance companies and over 1,800 mutual fund companies seeking to develop business from over 115 million people aged 45-75. From our perspective, all of the agents in almost every sector of the financial services industry are potential distributors, or customers, of our product.
Travel, retirement and retail clubs, while not strictly in the financial services industry, often serve as intermediaries for the major providers of financial services.
The opportunity for distributors of our product lies in two areas:
| • | | The goodwill associated with being the provider of a useful product. |
| • | | The added opportunity to contact the consumer generated by the end-user benefits offered by our product. |
The Estate Vault is currently comprised of the following data repository services and valuable products:
| | | | | | | | |
Personal Information on Me and My Family |
• Our Names, Addresses & Key Identification Data | | • Our Wills & their Executors | | • Our Marriage documents | | • Our Insurance policies |
• Our Medical needs | | • Our Personal Care needs | | • Our Key Contacts | | • Our Personal Identification Numbers | | • Our Safety Deposit Boxes |
• Our Clubs | | • Our Charities | | • Our Pets | | • Our Trips | | • Our Funeral Preferences |

My Essential Financial Information (Including all necessary identification & contact information, as well as personal tracking, summarizing and reporting capability) |
• Bank Accounts | | • Credit Cards | | • Mortgages | | • Stock & Bond Portfolio | | • Mutual Funds |
• Real Estate | | • Other Investments | | • Trusts, Annuities & Other Income | | • Outstanding Debts | | • Business Ventures |

Key Features of the Products and Services
TEV is a document management software system that provides the basis for sound financial planning; including basics like a will creator and power of attorney; and provides individuals with a single, secure and easily accessible location to keep all their critical personal and financial information. TEV gives people the choice of using its secure web-based version or using a secure desktop version.
Future Products and Services
Future products, within the financial services industry, are limited only by time and imagination. With the technology developed to date and an experienced management team, management believes this process is truly on the cusp of innovative products developed to assist the intermediary/consumer in dealing with all the areas that the financial industry has yet to explore.
The Market
TEV is a simple, yet unique, concept. It did not require an IT genius to develop it, since it utilizes already existing technology, however, it uniquely combines those state-of-the-art technologies into one user friendly platform, that our market research indicates is highly desirable.
UNTIL NOW, NO-ONE HAD YET TO DEVELOP SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE EXCHANGE VAULT.
Various software packages, such as Quicken, provide financial planners with the ability to organize and track the details of investment performance. But this is usually too complicated for the “mid market” customer which is defined as the middle class of the North American market, and does not include many of the components of TEV’s system.
The essence of TEV is its simplicity combined with its comprehensiveness. As such, it can offer the average person peace of mind in two ways:
| • | | As the one place to store all essential information, making it easier to get at data when |
3
| needed ON AN ON-GOING BASIS. |
| • | | As the one place to store all information, making it easier to get at data IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCIES. This potential, obviously, can be shared with Executors or trusted family or friends who have Power of Attorney over one’s affairs. |
Given this, management believes that the market potential for TEV is huge and it is not limited to North America. Currently, our competitors provide only a portion of the services we provide and do not currently focus on the same market we do, i.e. the ultimate individual consumer. Even if our perceived competition were to broaden their product offerings, or their scope, TEV believes that as the market-originator, it’s advanced entry into the market will allow it to solidify its strategic business relationships, and establish itself as the standard that must be met thus enabling it to effectively compete with the late comers. As such management believes that its early entry should allow it to obtain and subsequently maintain a reasonable share of whatever the market becomes.
TEV has engaged in market research with some of its Strategic Business Alliances in the financial services industries, the results of which indicate to TEV, that a “client vault” or something like it is one of the most desirable additional services that the financial service industry could make available to its clients. The fact that no major financial institution has taken the initiative and created such an offering points appropriately to the lethargy of the business.
The essence of TEV’s competitive market opportunity, therefore, is to be the first organization to meet this consumer need, while also providing its Strategic Business Alliance clients a product that their customers have indicated that they both want and need. Our business plan calls for the follow up over the coming year with an aggressive marketing program designed to position TEV as the generic creator and leader of the market. TEV’s believes opportunity lies in using the three years of product development it has already undertaken to create barriers to entry for all who later see the benefits to the consumer that TEV has created.
TEV officially launched The Estate Vault in September 2007 with a strategy of working with financial advisors as a lead into the financial services industry and the leading companies in that sector. Since inception, the Company has developed a working relationship in Canada with Pro-Seminars, the leading continuing education firm for financial advisors in Canada, through which we have enlisted nearly 1200 advisors to promote our product. While these advisors have no formal agreement with us they typically purchase the product at wholesale prices and provide it to their customers as a valued added gift. We are also currently working with marketing organizations such as Marketink Ltd. of Quebec, Alliance Investment Management of the Bahamas, The Toronto Board of Trade, ECM Group in Jacksonville Florida, International Business Academies of Georgia, in Mexico, and are in negotiations with several other membership type organizations and Financial Institutions with include banks and insurers in North America, South America and the Caribbean. Over the same period we believe that we have laid down the necessary distribution structure to allow us to continue our growth as per our business model.
We currently have third party relationships that bring value added benefits to our platform such as Cashedge and Cannex, which provides our members with account aggregation, EPOG, which provides our members with Will Creation and Legal Documents, Patient Practitioners, which provides our members with the ability to track and store their medical data on a USB key and AIG, which provides our members with Identity Theft insurance. We are currently in discussions with other potential third parties that we believe will increase the value of our product to our members today and into the future.
Marketing Strategy
4
Over the next three years, TEV’s strategy will be to aggressively seek to develop the general data organizing market and to seek to dominate that market by among other things, creating lasting relationships with it’s strategic business alliance partners and providing exceptional customer service as we grow, thus hopefully providing significant barriers to competitive entry. In addition, TEV has developed the following marketing strategy:
Strategic Business Alliances
| • | | TEV will seek to establish strong cooperative marketing programs with leading companies in the financial services market; |
| • | | TEV will offer its financial services company customers the opportunity to use their own brand via TEV’s IntelliBrand™ capability, while also using TEV’s IntelliAd™ capability to insert the customer’s own communication to end-users in an unobtrusive manner; |
| • | | TEV will focus efforts on providing guidance to financial service agents on the best ways to take advantage of TEV. |
Mid-Market End-User Focus:
| • | | TEV will direct itself to providing peace of mind to the average financial services customer. |
| • | | In so doing, we intend to position are selves in the customer’s minds as the best way for families to achieve peace of mind by safely and securely organizing all their essential personal, financial and medical data in one place. |
| o | The importance of easy access to such information in the event of any disaster will also be stressed. |
Low Penetration Pricing
| • | | With its “white goods” brand strategy, TEV anticipates being able to fund its operations and development from sales to financial services organizations, while avoiding the expense of direct marketing to the end user. |
| • | | Like all software products, TEV anticipates very high margins from each incremental sale, which, if realized, will provide it with wide flexibility in pricing over the long term. |
| • | | At the outset, TEV will use penetration-pricing to establish strong support from as many financial services organizations as possible. |
| o | Low operational costs are also expected to enable TEV to support its customers flexibly and to reduce operational risk. |
Essentially, TEV will seek to take advantage of the fact that it is the first company to create a simple, yet comprehensive product to meet a major, unfulfilled, consumer need. It will seek to solidify its distribution channels, by working closely with its identified Strategic business’ entities, as well as establish its reputation as the leader in the new industry. TEV’s management team, operational structure and customer support programs are set to be put in place to take advantage of this leadership position immediately.
2. | Marketing Sub-Strategies |
a. Product Strategy
Commitment to Product Quality & Customer Satisfaction
| • | | Since TEV is a vehicle for people to manage all their essential information, the company recognizes that it must present itself to its distributors and end-users as a first class organization that is committed to a high level of customer service. |
| • | | We are open to revising product content when necessary. |
| • | | A strong commitment to technical support will be made, which is slated to include: |
| o | E-mail and live support accessible via TEV’s web site. |
5
| ¡ | | Use of the Kayako Live Support protocols, with 3 operators located in Toronto and Ottawa. |
| ¡ | | Use of this existing high quality service should enable TEV to quickly increase support levels and/or to expand to different time zones when necessary. |
| • | | Specialist support services are also planned, such as: |
| ¡ | | ID Theft – AIG Corporation or other provider |
| ¡ | | Wills & Legal Documents – EPOQ |
| ¡ | | Account Aggregation – Cashedge and Cannex |
| ¡ | | Travel Medical Concierge Service-InRoomMD |
b. Pricing Strategy
Introductory Low Penetration Pricing
| • | | In order to meet its immediate growth goals, TEV has adopted a penetration-pricing strategy. |
| • | | The specific price to each distributor, however, will be dependent on the costs necessary to service the account (i.e. TEV will seek to service each account at a profit). |
| • | | At the outset, this will involve a three-tier pricing stance: |
| ¡ | | On the web site, the base price of about $399 will be retained; |
| ¡ | | For financial service institutions and others, where agent seminars and other training activities will be required, the anticipated price will be about $20; |
| ¡ | | For affiliated organizations, where only end-user introductory education will be required, the price to the organization will vary depending on the organization’s goals. If it is just a basic offering to members, the price to the organization will be as low as possible (from $6-9 per unit). If it is to upgrade members to other services, such as home & auto insurance, the price will be slightly higher. |
c. Distribution Strategy
TEV’s distribution focus will be on companies that would like to provide a value added service to their end users. This will be on a first come, first served basis: no exclusive franchises are planned. Foreign territories will be developed by seeking distributors that will enter into a joint venture with TEV.
Companies will be given the choice of distributing TEV in its generic form or under their own brand name.
When distributors use their own brand name, TEV will protect its proprietary software by handling all use of IntelliBrand® and IntelliAd® by the distributing organization. This will mean that the distributor and TEV will need to remain in on-going contact through a dedicated TEV account representative.
In addition to the internet guides and technical support services that TEV has set up, TEV plans to prepare introductory presentations for the differing market segments, together with printed guides to help distributors:
| ¡ | | Inform end-users of the benefits and contents of TEV. |
| ¡ | | Assist end-user customers to set up and use TEV. |
d. Advertising Strategy
TEV’s strategy is to enter into joint ventures with the various media sources, TV, Radio and print advertising and will exchange certificates only to be distributed via financial service agents and affiliation organizations; there will be no need for TEV to invest in advertising directed to the consumer directly.
Nevertheless, TEV’s include the preparation of a series of coop advertisements to help distributors prepare their own communication.
6
e. Promotion Strategy
TEV’s planned promotional efforts include a multi faceted approach:
| ¡ | | Making distributor management aware of the benefits of TEV; |
| ¡ | | Briefing distributor agents about the benefits of offering TEV to their end-user customers; |
| ¡ | | Helping them get their end-user customers to use TEV on an on-going basis; |
| ¡ | | Helping them use TEV for periodic checkups. |
Research and Development
Our research and development efforts are focused on improving and enhancing our existing software products, solutions and processes, as well as developing new products and applications. Our core competency is in proprietary document storage solutions, desktop fulfillment solutions and web based fulfillment solutions. It is our proprietary designs, research and development process that differentiates us from our competitors, none of whom have the dual based solution demanded by consumers – our desktop solution with a web based interface and synchronization method.
Intellectual Property
Our management will aggressively seek to protect all proprietary intellectual property as follows:
| • | | All programming, including core development, Internet and web portal design are covered by Canadian and International copyright laws. |
| • | | Copyrights, trademarks and service marks are currently registered in Canada, the U.S. and will be registered in other prime potential countries as we begin our marketing efforts abroad in those territories and, as such, are protected by international copyright conventions. |
| • | | Patents, copyrights and trademarks protect our products and services/processes both internally and through protection offered by third party vendors. |
All costs associated with copyrights, trademarks and patents are expensed as incurred. These costs would be included as research and development or professional fees in the Statement of Operations.
Analysis of Competitive Position
Competition is limited in scope since most competitors are simply document storage solutions, desktop fulfillment solutions or web based fulfillment solutions. None have the dual based solution our research shows consumers want, with desktop web based interface and synchronization method. Most competitors are financial planners that took a paper based solution and tried to make it electronic with virtually none of them coming from a technical background. The closest competitor is Emoney Advisor; http://www.emoneyadvisor.com. This product is directed entirely to the financial advisor and its price point makes it almost inaccessible to the majority of advisors in the mid market, where TEV is to be marketed.
We believe the principal factors that generally determine a company’s competitive advantage in the digital storage market are:
| • | | Product design capabilities; |
| • | | Broad product functionality; |
| • | | Customer service and execution; |
| • | | Sales and marketing capabilities |
7
IntelliAD™ and IntelliBrand™ technology was developed by Integrated Insurance Solutions Ltd. and Licensed on a non-exclusive basis to TEV in order to deal with the issue that consumers were more comfortable in storing their sensitive data on their home computers and laptops versus the Internet. Most consumers have no issues about storing their pictures or non sensitive information on the Web, but sensitive information is another story altogether. As there is a need for The Estate Vault to communicate with all customers of any new product offering, product enhancement or cross sell opportunities we needed to develop a strategy that would not violate any spam or privacy laws as well as avoid all those annoying popup and popup blockers. IntelliAD™ is a technology based web portal that has the ability to place ads inside the customer’s desktop version without violating the customers’ privacy or privacy laws. None of the customers’ information is shared with the ad sponsor yet IntelliAD™ has the ability to identify customers by demographic and geographic criteria so that an advertising campaign is laser guided. All of this occurs in any easy and low cost structure and in fact is free to the sponsoring firms; i.e. firms that are agents.
IntelliBrand™ was developed to identify to consumers who has supplied them with their Estate Vault. In a similar manner as IntelliAD™, IntelliBrand™ will place the suppliers logo in strategic areas of the web based Estate Vault, email correspondence between the customer and their advisors/loved ones, as well as on the desktop version of The Estate Vault so the customer always sees who has provided them with the product. We believe that use of this trademark technology will provide us with a competitive advantage in the market place.
Although we believe we compete favorably against our competitors with respect to the above principal competitive factors in our market, many of our competitors have considerably greater financial, marketing and technological resources. Certain current or future competitors may operate larger facilities and have a greater presence in key markets, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, sales and marketing, distribution, technical and other resources. As a result, these competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. They may also be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. Moreover, we may not have sufficient resources to undertake the continuing research and development necessary to remain competitive. Each of these factors could make it difficult for us to compete successfully.
Regulation
Our operations and products are subject to extensive government regulation, supervision, and licensing under various federal, state, local and foreign statutes, ordinances and regulations. While we believe that we maintain all requisite licenses and permits and are in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign regulations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain all requisite licenses and permits. The failure to satisfy those and other regulatory requirements could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Insurance Coverage
We maintain insurance coverage against losses associated with our business operations in amounts we believe to be adequate.
Employees
All corporate functions are based in our headquarters. As of November 30, 2008, we had 3 full-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreement, and we have never experienced a work stoppage. We believe we have good relations with our employees. To continue expanding our revenues we will require additional staffing and support, particularly in the areas of sales and administration.

Market Information
Our common stock does trade on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “TEVI.PK” and consequently there is a market price for our common stock. We intend to apply to trade our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on completion of this filing. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not intend to do so in the future. We intend to retain any earnings for operations.
Common Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $.001. At November 30, 2008, we had issued and outstanding 199,989,204 shares of common stock of which, 16,654,783 shares or 8.33% is owned by our officers and directors. There were no options or restricted stock issued under our Stock Option Plan.
Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of shareholders. The holders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. No holder of common stock has any preemptive or preferential rights to purchase or subscribe for any other class of shares. The holders of common stock holding, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent of the total voting rights can elect all of our directors and, in such event, the holders of the remaining minority shares will not be able to elect any of the directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding securities entitled to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION. |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and our financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this registration statement. Portions of this document that are not statements of historical or current fact are forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this registration statement should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this registration statement. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated include those discussed in “Risk Factors,” “Business” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
The Company’s focus has been and continues to be on the development and marketing of our digital software repository service. We intend to provide to financial service companies and their customers’ proprietary software products for the secure and orderly management of personal financial and legal documents. The Company has little revenue and there can be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenue to be profitable in our business operations.
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009, the Company conducted only limited operations, which were focused on creating our distribution networks.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. It experienced losses of $1,038,487 during 2008 and had a net deficiency in equity of $75,064 and a net working capital deficit of $1,112,204 as of November 30, 2008. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regard to this matter are to raise equity capital and seek strategic relationships and alliances in order to initiate the commercialization of its new technologies in an effort to generate positive cash flow. Until its technologies become commercially viable, the Company must continue to rely upon equity infusions in order to provide adequate liquidity to sustain its operations.
12
The financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis and accordingly do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value, due to the short term nature of these items. The carrying amount of the note payable approximates its fair value due to the use of market rates of interest.
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a declining balance and straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally five to seven years. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis addresses the major factors that affected our operations and financial condition reflected in our audited financial statements for the years ended November 30, 2008 and 2007. This discussion is intended to supplement and highlight information contained in, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and related notes and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report.
Year Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to Year Ended November 30, 2007
From inception of the Development Stage (“Inception”) in November 2005, through year ending November 30, 2008, we had earned revenues of $9,412 and incurred a net loss since Inception of $1,302,998. For the year ending November 30, 2008, the company had earned revenues of $9,412, and incurred a net loss of $1,038,487. Operations from Inception through November 30, 2008 were devoted primarily to strategic planning, raising capital and developing revenue-generating opportunities and developing strategic relationships.
Revenue increased from $0.00 to $9,412.00 due primarily to sales. Operating expenses increased from $0.00 for the Year ending November 30, 2007 to $77,186.00 for the year ending November 30, 2008, due to marketing and general administrative expenses.
Accordingly, the net loss was $1,038,487 (2008) and $0.00 (2007).
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s working capital deficit increased from $0.00 at November 30, 2007 to $1,112,204 for the Year ending November 30, 2008. The Company had $10,305 cash at November 30, 2008.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the twelve months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has had net losses of $1,038,487 and $1,302,998 respectively. In view of these matters, recoverability of recorded furniture and equipment and other asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
At November 30, 2008 we had cash on hand totaling $10,305. For the fiscal year end November 30, 2008 we have incurred $1,080,834 of research and development costs and general and administrative operating expenses together with $40,782 in advertising and marketing expenses, for Total Operating Expenses of $1,121,616. These expenses were principally related to development of the product and organizational activities.
Plan of Operation
We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of November 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,302,998 and a working capital deficit of $1,112,204.
We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products, will increase significantly in the future.
We will be dependent upon our existing cash, together with anticipated net proceeds from a public offering and future debt issuances and private placements of common stock and potential license fees, to finance our planned operations through the next 12 months. We currently require approximately $35,000 to $50,000 per month, which is used to pay our current consultants, third party partners for Identity Theft Insurance, Account Aggregation and Will creator as well as our normal operating expenses. The additional auditing and legal fees incident to operations as a public company are expected to add an additional $10,000 per month, on average over the next 12 months.
Over the course of the next 12 months, the Company anticipates needing approximately $750,000 to 1.5 Million, and should the Company be unable to obtain those funds, it will necessarily mean that the Company will need to trim back its expansion and marketing plans. Should we not be able to raise the required capital as anticipated, we believe that we would still be able to support our current customer base and the company could still provide the product in its current form. Not being able to raise additional capital would mean that the Company would have to wait until revenues increased in order for us to execute our expansion plans.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of November 20, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
14
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (FAS 123R), which requires that compensation costs relating to share-based payments be recognized in our financial statements. We currently account for those payments under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The final requirements are effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Although the transition method to be used to adopt the standard has not been selected, the impact of adoption is expected to have minimal impact on our results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153, “Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets—an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29,” (FAS 153), which is effective for our asset-exchange transactions beginning July 1, 2005. Under APB 29, assets received in certain types of nonmonetary exchanges were permitted to be recorded at the carrying value of the assets that were exchanged (i.e., recorded on a carryover basis). As amended by FAS 153, assets received in some circumstances will have to be recorded instead at their fair values. In the past, we have not engaged in the nonmonetary asset exchanges for significant amounts.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk is currently nil since as of November 30, 2008 we had no invested cash or marketable assets or debt in any significant amounts. Our exposure to credit concentration risk is nil as we have not yet established any customer relationships or procured any suppliers.
ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. |
The financial statements and related financial information required to be filed hereunder are indexed under Item 15 of this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. |
There have been no changes in and/or disagreements with accountants on any accounting issue or financial disclosure.
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements and that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
15
For the period ending November 30, 2008, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. This evaluation was conducted by our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer. Based upon his evaluation, he concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
LACK OF INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE
Management is aware that an audit committee composed of the requisite number of independent members along with a qualified financial expert has not yet been established. Considering the costs associated with procuring and providing the infrastructure to support an independent audit committee and the limited number of transactions, Management has concluded that the risks associated with the lack of an independent audit committee are not justified. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.
LACK OF SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
During the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Estate Vault, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Estate Vault, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2008, and from inception of Development Stage on November 30, 2005 through November 30, 2007, and from inception of the Development Stage on November 30, 2005 through November 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 audit 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 Estate Vault, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2008, and from inception of Development Stage on November 30, 2005 through November 30, 2007, and from inception of the Development Stage on November 30, 2005 through November 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficit of $1,302,998 as of November 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(A Development Stage Company)
November 30, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 1 - | NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| a. | Organization and Business Activities |
The Company was originally incorporated on December 7, 1983 in the Province of Ontario Canada. The Company was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 14, 2004 with a principal business objective of developing and marketing snack foods and drinks. The Company discontinued its operations in 2005 was reclassified as a development stage company as of November 30, 2005. On September 24, 2007, the Company’s name was changed to The Estate Vault, Inc. The Company uses a secure integrated platform to provide digital software repository services for the orderly management of personal financial and legal documents. End users have the ability to maintain all key documents in one safe, secure and easily accessible location to assist in managing personal and financial affairs. The Company has not realized significant revenues through November 30, 2008 and is classified as a development stage enterprise.
The cost of the property and equipment will be depreciated over the estimated useful life of 5 years. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method when the assets are placed in service.
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a November 30 year-end.
| d. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company recognizes when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company incurred advertising and marketing costs of $331,009 and $-0- during the years ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $100,000. At November 30, 2008, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of November 30, 2008 and 2007:
| | | | | | | |
| | November 30, 2008 | | | November 30, 2007 |

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 39% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended November 31, 2008 and 2007 due to the following:

At November 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $415,904 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2027. No tax benefit has been reported in the November 30, 2008 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

| k. | Stock-based compensation. |
As of November 30, 2008, the Company has not issued any share-based payments to its employees.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $1,287,998 as of November 30, 2008. The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - | IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 - | IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) |
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations.’This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective; however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entities first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company will adopt this statement March 1, 2008, and it is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 4 - | DEBENTURES PAYABLE |
The Company has issued unsecured non convertible debentures of $51,400 outstanding as of November 30, 2008. The debentures accrue interest at 18% per annum and are due on August 15, 2009.
NOTE 5 - | RELATED PARTY PAYABLES |
The Company has received cash advances from shareholders and officers. The advances are non interest bearing, unsecured and due upon demand. The Company owes $20,000 for such advances as of November 30, 2008.
NOTE 6 - | EQUITY TRANSACTIONS |
During the year ended November 30, 2008 the Company issued 20,903,333 shares for services and 18,246,700 shares for cash valued at $0.025 per share. The Company also issued 10,000,000 shares for services and 11,196,700 shares for cash $0.01 per share.
