PART I
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Narrative Description of the Business
We are presently designing and developing an enterprise class software and hardware based data storage appliance which will be known as “Enterprise Mass Storage Manager” (EMSM). This product can be utilized by any data intensive industry. We will utilize industry standard network communication protocols coupled with state of the art data deduplication technology in the development of the EMSM data storage appliance.
The terms data storage “appliance” and “data deduplication” will be used frequently throughout this document. The term “appliance”, as used herein, refers to:
A standard packaged computer assembly utilizing a central processing unit (cpu), disk and memory resources along with a Linux operating system. This computer will be utilized to run the specialized storage software application referred to as EMSM. The EMSM appliance will be designed as a self contained storage appliance which can be quickly and easily installed and deployed in virtually any computer storage network.
The term “data deduplication” refers to:
Specialized software algorithms which identify repeated instances of files, such as word documents, etc. in computer networks and replace these repeated instances with keys or “hashes” which uniquely identify the replaced file. Identical blocks or strings of data, which are not necessarily in file format, are identified and replaced in the same way. By replacing the actual repeated data on a computer network with a small, unique representation of the data (the key), the amount of physical electronic data storage is reduced significantly.
The Product
EMSM comes from traditional Network Attached Storage (NAS) technology, utilizing the well established Network File System (NFS) protocol and utilizing data deduplication methods. EMSM will provide corporate Information Technology professionals with advanced data storage technology to provide the following benefits:
· | 10-20 Times the Electronic Storage Capacity of Traditional Storage Devices |
· | Storage Capacity Planning |
· | Live Error and Alarm Capture and Notification |
· | Global Intelligence |
· | Storage Asset Management |
· | Storage Device Management |
· | Reduced Data Center Power Consumption |
· | Reduced Data Center Cooling Requirements |
· | Reduced Data Center Floor Space Requirements |
We believe that the recent increase in the demands for electronic data storage has increased these challenges to corporate Information Technology (“ IT”) organizations and technicians significantly over the last several years.
Bulk Storage EMSM provides the capability for corporations to address these issues with a platform independent, scalable appliance for a fraction of what they are currently spending on data storage devices and administration (human resource costs coupled with the capital costs of storage arrays). We believe that Bulk Storage EMSM can help IT organizations achieve strategic corporate objectives such as:
· | Maximizing use of IT resources (administrative and capital) |
· | Ensuring business continuance and data protection |
· | Managing capital and administrative costs associated with information management |
· | Managing growth associated with electronic information storage |
· | Meeting federal regulatory compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOX, |
· | Meeting data protection requirements |
· | Reducing Data Center Power, Cooling and Space requirements |
To help corporations achieve these objectives, we have developed an open, independent Specialized Storage Management Software (SMS) application.
The majority of the application, will be written in Java, while the Data Deduplication Software will be written in “C” to minimize CPU cycles on the data deduplication end. The data deduplication database utilized will most likely be historical Berkely Database for licensing purposes. However, if the end user prefers Oracle, Sybase, etc. they will have that flexibility, but the licensing burden will be theirs.
Data deduplication is a technology whereby the EMSM appliance, through proprietary software algorithms, stores identical blocks of information and identical files only once. Where most storage devices store multiple copies of the same files and identical blocks of information many times over, thus using costly storage space for redundant information.
The EMSM storage appliance stores only one copy of the identical information while storing only a small representation of the identical information, or a “reference key”, each time the redundant information is encountered in the computer enterprise. This capability enables the EMSM appliance to provide 5, 10, 15, 20 or even 50 times the effective storage capacity of conventional storage arrays utilizing the same “raw” disk drive capacity. This “effective capacity” also requires the same amount of power and cooling as the conventional storage array with significantly more electronic storage capacity for the user.
The EMSM product is designed to install on any Unix, Linux or Microsoft computer system. We not intend to pursue the MVS or AS400 markets. Supported backup applications will initially Veritas ™ NetBackup, and BackupExec ™, with the next targeted application being IBM ™ TSM. The Company will support fiber channel and iSCSI SANS initially. The Company will initially support EMC and Hitachi disk arrays, with IBM Shark, NetApp and LSI Logic as the next targets. These application ports encompass approximately 70% of our targeted midrange market.
The product will be extremely scalable as the end user can choose either a central or distributed EMSM database. With the centralized management console approach the user will be able to view all Bulk Storage appliances globally from a single User Interface (UI), while different geographical locations can be restricted with regard to viewing and management capabilities. Permissions will be restricted through access control lists (ACL’s).
We intend to pursue several strategic software development partnerships with established software and hardware vendors. Additionally, we intend to immediately pursue a strategic selling relationship with a large storage hardware vendor. At the present time, there are no definitive agreements in place.
Our original focus will be in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, but eventually plan to expand nationwide. However, we currently have no plans for expansion. At the present time, we have no active operations and are developing our business plan. At the present time, we have no plans to raise any additional funds within the next twelve months, other than those raised in our recent Offering. Any working capital will be expected to be generated from internal operations or from funds which may be loaned to us by Mr. Gibbs, our President. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Gibbs has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2015 for working capital purposes, although he is under no contractual obligation to do so. However, we reserve the right to examine possible additional sources of funds, including, but not limited to, equity or debt offerings, borrowings, or joint ventures. Limited market surveys have never been conducted to determine demand for our services. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any of its objectives will be achieved.
Our product is currently under development. We estimate that it will take until June, 2015 for our product to be completed. The development of this product is expected to cost approximately $75,000, with this amount being comprised entirely of software development and integration labor costs.
The finished computer appliance product will retail for $25,000 for the enterprise edition. We estimate that selling an average of one appliance product a quarter will result in profitability for the Company.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
Our address is 10790 Glengate Loop, Highlands Ranch, Colorado 80130. Our telephone number is (303) 862-6857.
Organization
We are comprised of one corporation. All of our operations are conducted through this corporation.
Operations
We plan to initially operate out of the office of our President. This office is also shared with another company owned by our President and largest shareholder.
We are not presently marketing our product but plan to do so prior to the end of 2015. We plan to utilize the expertise and existing business relationships of our principal officers, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Sobnosky and Mr. Milonas to develop our opportunities. All operational decisions will be made by Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Sobnosky and Mr. Milonas.
It should be noted, however, that we do not have any extensive history of operations. To the extent that management is unsuccessful in keeping expenses in line with income, failure to affect the events and goals listed herein would result in a general failure of the business. This would cause management to consider liquidation or merger.
Markets
Our sales strategy is two fold:
| 1) | Penetrate end user accounts (hospitals, insurance companies, etc.) through a reseller channel with the monitoring and reporting components of Bulk Storage Software ESM. |
| 2) | Generate recurring revenue streams through strategic software and hardware vendor relationships. IT departments are currently purchasing these SMS types of tools in order to address pressing issues in the areas of monitoring and reporting. By establishing our Company as the incumbent SMS software vendor with the reporting and monitoring component of EMSM, we believe that we will be able to generate future revenues as software “add-ons” in the areas electronic data storage management and regulatory compliance within our client base. |
We believe that the primary reason that clients would buy from us rather than competitors would be the existing relationships that we can develop. We believe that client loyalty and satisfaction can be the basis for success in this business. Therefore, we plan to develop and expand on already existing relationships to develop a competitive edge. We plan to utilize the expertise of its principal officer to develop our business.
Clients and Competition
Generally, the computer storage business is very dynamic and subject to sudden change. The competition is essentially divided into two groups: existing large incumbent storage vendors and independent SMS vendors. Incumbent storage vendors include Symantec/Veritas, Hewlett Packard, IBM, CA, and others. Most, if not all, of the incumbents have engaged in some level of acquisition as method of entering the SMS portion of the computer storage business.
We are not aware of any direct competitor. Most of our competitors sell and support specifically developed products or conversely, large, generic reporting frameworks. To our knowledge, no single vendor provides diagnostics, system health checking, live problem notification, reporting, and management across all elements of the electronic data storage infrastructure.
Almost all of the companies in this industry have greater resources and expertise than us. Any of them could chose to enter our proposed market at any time. Competition with these companies could make it difficult, if not impossible for us to compete, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Competition from larger and more established companies is a significant threat and is expected to remain so for us. Any competition may cause us to fail to gain or to lose clients, which could result in reduced or non-existent revenue. Competitive pressures may impact our revenues and our growth.
Our principal effort at this point will be to develop a client base. We believe that the primary reason that customers would buy from us rather than competitors would be the existing relationships that we can develop. We believe that customer loyalty and satisfaction can be the basis for success in this business. Therefore, we plan to develop and expand on already existing relationships to develop a competitive edge.
Backlog
At September 30, 2015, we had no backlogs.
Employees
We have one full-time employee: Mr. Geoffrey Gibbs, our President. Mr. Gibbs does not draw a salary or receive any other kind of compensation. However, we reimburse our employee for all necessary and customary business related expenses. We have no plans or agreements which provide health care, insurance or compensation on the event of termination of employment or change in our control. We do not pay our Directors separately for any Board meeting they attend.
Proprietary Information
We own no proprietary information.
Government Regulation
We do not expect to be subject to material governmental regulation. However, it is our policy to fully comply with all governmental regulation and regulatory authorities.
Research and Development
We have never spent any amount in research and development activities.
Environmental Compliance
We believe that we are not subject to any material costs for compliance with any environmental laws.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the information contained in this prospectus, any reports we file with the SEC and the documents referred to herein. You should also be aware that the risks described below may not be the only risks relevant to your determination. Instead, these are the risks that we believe most material to your decision.
We are recently formed, have no operating history, and have never been profitable. We have a retained earnings deficit. As a result, we may never become profitable, and we could go out of business.
We were formed as a Colorado business entity in October, 2007. At the present time, we have no successful operating history. There can be no guarantee that we will ever be profitable. From our inception on October 15, 2007 through September 30, 2015, we generated no revenue. We had a net loss of $27,050 for the year ended September 30, 2015 and a net loss of $27,894 for the year ended September 30, 2014. We had a negative stockholders equity of $108,023 at September 30, 2014, and $125,873 at September 30, 2015. Our future sales will depend upon the number of customers we can generate. We cannot guarantee we will ever develop a substantial number of customers. Even if we develop a substantial number of customers, there is no assurance that we will become a profitable company. We may never become profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.
Because we had incurred operating losses from our inception, our accountants have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the period ended September 30, 2015, our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our continued net losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
● | our ability to begin active operations; |
● | our ability to locate clients who will purchase our services; and |
● | our ability to generate revenues. |
Based upon current plans, we may incur operating losses in future periods because we may, from time to time, be incurring expenses but not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $15,000 in operating costs for general and administrative expenses over the next twelve months prior to generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business.
We are only minimally capitalized. Because we are only minimally capitalized, we expect to experience a lack of liquidity for the foreseeable future in our ongoing operations. We will adjust our expenses as necessary to prevent cash flow or liquidity problems. However, we expect we will need additional financing of some type, which we do not now possess, to fully develop our operations. We expect to rely principally upon our ability to raise additional financing, the success of which cannot be guaranteed. We will look at both equity and debt financing, including loans from our principal shareholder. However, at the present time, we have no definitive plans for financing in place. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Gibbs has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2015 for working capital purposes, although he is under no contractual obligation to do so. To the extent that we experience a substantial lack of liquidity, our development in accordance with our proposed plan may be delayed or indefinitely postponed, our operations could be impaired, we may never become profitable, fail as an organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance. As a result, an investor could lose his entire investment.
The concept for our business model was developed in 2007. We have operated as a corporation for short amount of time. We have a limited operating history, based upon no revenues and a lack of profitability. These factors make it difficult to evaluate our business on the basis of historical operations. As a consequence, our past results may not be indicative of future results. Although this is true for any business, it is particularly true for us because of our limited operating history. Reliance on historical results may hinder our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, revenues or expenses. For example, if we overestimate our future sales for a particular period or periods based on our historical growth rate, we may increase our overhead and other operating expenses to a greater degree than we would have if we correctly anticipated the lower sales level for that period and reduced our controllable expenses accordingly. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, we could continue to incur losses, which may result in a decline in our stock price.
Because we are a company with no operating history and revenues and only minimally capitalized, we have a lack of liquidity and will need additional financing in the future. Our future success depends, in large part, on the continued financing of Mr. Gibbs, our President. The loss of this financing would have a material adverse effect on our business. Additional financing may not be available when needed, which could delay our development or indefinitely postpone it. Our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
We are only minimally capitalized. Because we are only minimally capitalized, we expect to experience a lack of liquidity for the foreseeable future in our operations. We will adjust our expenses as necessary to prevent cash flow or liquidity problems. However, we expect we will need additional financing of some type, which we do not now possess, to fully develop our operations. We expect to rely principally upon our ability to raise additional financing, the success of which cannot be guaranteed. Mr. Gibbs, our President, is currently our only source of financing. It should be noted that Mr. Gibbs is under no obligation to lend us funds under the term of the note. We have no indication that Mr. Gibbs would refuse to lend us funds if we should ask. It would be very difficult to find a financing source to replace Mr. Gibbs. The loss of the Mr. Gibbs’ financing would have a material adverse effect on our business. At the present time, we have no definitive plans for financing in place, other than the funds which we have already obtained. In the event that we need additional capital, we will need to identify alternate sources of capital for working capital purposes. To the extent that we experience a substantial lack of liquidity, our development in accordance with our proposed plan may be delayed or indefinitely postponed, our operations could be impaired, we may never become profitable, fail as an organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
We have no experience as a public company. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
We have never operated as a public company. We have no experience in complying with the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
There are factors beyond our control which may adversely affect us. Any, all, or a combination of general market conditions and changing consumer tastes could cause an investor could lose his entire investment
Our operations may also be affected by factors which are beyond our control, principally general market conditions and changing consumer tastes. Any of these problems, or a combination thereof, could have affect on our viability as an entity. We may never become profitable, fail as an organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
We are implementing a strategy to grow our business, which is expensive and may not generate increases in our revenues. If our growth strategies do not result in significant revenues, we may have to abandon our plans for further growth or may even cease our proposed operations.
We intend to grow our business, and we plan to incur expenses associated with our growth and expansion. Although we recently raised funds through offerings to implement our growth strategy, these funds may not be adequate to offset all of the expenses we incur in expanding our business. We will need to generate revenues to offset expenses associated with our growth, and we may be unsuccessful in achieving revenues, despite our attempts to grow our business. If our growth strategies do not result in significant revenues, we may have to abandon our plans for further growth or may even cease our proposed operations.
We must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or we may outgrow our current infrastructure. If this strategy does not result in significant revenues, we may have to abandon our plans for growth or may even cease our proposed operations.
As of September 30, 2015, we had one employee, our President. If we experience rapid growth of our operations, we could see a backlog of client orders. We can resolve these capacity issues by hiring additional personnel and upgrading our infrastructure. However, we cannot guarantee that sufficient additional personnel will be available or that we will find suitable technology to aid our growth. In any case, we will continue pursuing additional sales growth for our company. Expanding our infrastructure will be expensive, and will require us to train our workforce, and improve our financial and managerial controls to keep pace with the growth of our operations.
If this strategy does not result in significant revenues, we may have to abandon our plans for growth or may even cease our proposed operations.
We have a lack of liquidity and will need additional financing in the future. Additional financing may not be available when needed, which could delay or indefinitely postpone our development and impair our operations. We may never become profitable, fail as an organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
We are only minimally capitalized. Because we are only minimally capitalized, we expect to experience a lack of liquidity for the foreseeable future in our proposed operations. We will adjust our expenses as necessary to prevent cash flow or liquidity problems. However, we expect we will need additional financing of some type, which we do not now possess, to fully develop our operations. We expect to rely principally upon our ability to raise additional financing, the success of which cannot be guaranteed. We will look at both equity and debt financing, including loans from our principal shareholder. However, at the present time, we have no definitive plans for financing in place, other than the funds which may be loaned to us by Mr. Gibbs, our President. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Gibbs has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2015 for working capital purposes, although he is under no contractual obligation to do so. To the extent that we experience a substantial lack of liquidity, our development in accordance with our proposed plan may be delayed or indefinitely postponed, our operations could be impaired, we may never become profitable, fail as an organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
As a company with no operating history, we are inherently a risky investment. An investor could lose his entire investment.
We have no operating history. Because we are a company with no history, the operations in which we engage in, the software business, is an extremely risky business. An investor could lose his entire investment.
There are risks associated with introducing new products. If we are not successful with those product introductions, we will not realize on our investment in developing those products. An investor could lose his entire investment.
We will continue to evaluate opportunities to develop product solutions, and when we choose to develop such products we will incur expenses in those development efforts. Market acceptance of new products may be slow or less than we expect. Our products also may not perform in a manner that is required by the market, or our competitors may be more effective in reaching the market segments we are targeting with these products. Slow market acceptance of these products will delay or eliminate our ability to recover our investment in these products. During any period that we unsuccessfully seek to market these products, we will also incur marketing costs without corresponding revenue. An investor could lose his entire investment.
Our ability to grow our business depends on relationships with others. We have no established relationships at this time. We may never develop such relationships. Further, if we were to lose those relationships, we could lose our ability to sell certain of our products. An investor could lose his entire investment.
Most of our revenue and a majority of our gross profit are expected to come from selling integrated solutions, consisting of combinations of hardware and software products produced by others. While our relationships will change from time to time, we must rely upon technology partners to augment and enhance the products we plan to sell. At the present time, we do not have any technology partners and cannot guarantee we will ever develop any such partners. If we do develop such partners, we risk that a given technology partner will change its marketing strategy and de-emphasize its use of marketing partners such as us. Our ability to generate revenue from reselling our products would diminish and our operations and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. An investor could lose his entire investment.
We are a relatively small company with limited resources compared to some of our current and potential competitors, which may hinder our ability to compete effectively. An investor could lose his entire investment.
Some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources, broader name recognition, and a larger installed base of clients than we have. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with our existing and potential clients. They also may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can to ours, which would allow them to respond more quickly than us to new or emerging technologies or changes in client requirements. In addition, some of our current and potential competitors have already established supplier or joint development relationships with decision makers at our potential clients. An investor could lose his entire investment.
We may be unable to hire and retain key personnel. As a result, we could go out of business and an investor could lose his entire investment.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract qualified storage technology and geospatial imagery personnel. We may be unable to attract these necessary personnel. If we fail to attract or retain skilled employees, or if a key employee fails to perform in his or her current position, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to offset our operating costs. As a result, we could go out of business and an investor could lose his entire investment.
Because our current officers and directors are involved with other businesses in which we operate. This may create the possibility of a conflict of interest with regard to the allocation of time.
Our officers and directors are also involved with other businesses. Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Milonas and Mr. Sobnosky work in other businesses which compete for his time with our business. These other arrangements could create conflict of interest with respect to allocating time to our operations. Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Milonas and Mr. Sobnosky are aware of their responsibilities with respect to corporate opportunities and plans to operate our Company in such a manner as to minimize the effect of any conflict of interest. Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Milonas and Mr. Sobnosky will use his best judgments to resolve all potential conflicts. We cannot guarantee that any potential conflicts can be avoided.
We may need to substantially invest in marketing efforts in order to grow our business, which will be expensive. As a result, we could go out of business and an investor could lose his entire investment.
In order to grow our business, we will need to develop and maintain widespread recognition and acceptance of our company, our business model, our services and our products. We have not presented our service and product offering to the potential market. We plan to rely primarily on word of mouth from our existing contacts we develop personally through industry events to promote and market ourselves. In order to successfully grow our company, we may need to significantly increase our financial commitment to creating awareness and acceptance of our company among retailers, which would be expensive. To date, marketing and advertising expenses have been negligible. If we fail to successfully market and promote our business, we could lose potential clients to our competitors, or our growth efforts may be ineffective. If we incur significant expenses promoting and marketing ourselves, it could delay or completely forestall our profitability. On the other hand, we could go out of business and an investor could lose his entire investment.
Our business is not diversified, which could result in significant fluctuations in our operating results. As a result, we could go out of business and an investor could lose his entire investment.
All of our business is involved in the marketing of selling integrated data storage solutions, and, accordingly, is dependent upon trends in the sector. Downturns in the integrated data storage solutions sector could have a material adverse effect on our business. A downturn in the integrated data storage solutions sector may reduce our stock price, even if our business is successful. As a result, we could go out of business and an investor could lose his entire investment.
We are a relatively small company with limited resources compared to some of our current and potential competitors, which may hinder our ability to compete effectively. A failure to successfully compete in the integrated data storage solutions sector may cause us to go out of business. An investor could lose his entire investment.
Some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources, broader name recognition, and a larger installed base of clients than we have. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with our existing and potential clients. They also may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can to ours, which would allow them to respond more quickly than us to new or emerging technologies or changes in client requirements. In addition, some of our current and potential competitors have already established supplier or joint development relationships with decision makers at our potential clients. A failure to successfully compete in the integrated data storage solutions sector may cause us to go out of business. An investor could lose his entire investment.
Our success will be dependent upon our management’s efforts. We cannot sustain profitability without the efforts of our management. The loss of any or all of our management, particularly Mr. Gibbs, our President and a director, Mr. Milonas, our COO and director and Mr. Sobnosky, a director, could have a material, adverse impact on our operations and may cause us to go out of business. An investor could lose his entire investment.
Our success will be dependent upon the decision making of our directors and executive officers. These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary to our business, but this commitment is no assurance of success. The loss of any or all of these individuals, particularly Mr. Gibbs, our President and a director, Mr. Milonas, our COO and director and Mr. Sobnosky, a director, could have a material, adverse impact on our operations and may cause us to go out of business. An investor could lose his entire investment. We have no written employment agreements with any officers and directors, including Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Milonas and Mr. Sobnosky. We have not obtained key man life insurance on the lives of any of our officers or directors.
Our stock has no public trading market and there is no guarantee a trading market will ever develop for our securities. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to liquidate your investment.
There has been, and continues to be, no public market for our common stock. An active trading market for our shares has not, and may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:
| |
* | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
| |
* | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates; |
| |
* | changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours; |
| |
* | announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| |
* | introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for our products; |
| |
* | departures of key personnel. |
Of our total outstanding shares as of September 30, 2015, a total of 20,780,000, or approximately 94.3%, will be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our stock could drop significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “Penny Stocks” limits the liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our common stock is currently not quoted on in any market. If our common stock becomes quoted, we anticipate that it will trade well below $5.00 per share. As a result, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our shares can be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the written purchaser’s agreement to a transaction prior to purchase. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.
We are an “emerging growth company,” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These exemptions include:
1. | Not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
2. | Reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and |
3. | Exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a092)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years. However, we would cease to qualify an emerging growth company if we:
1. | Generate annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more in a fiscal year; |
2. | Issue, during the previous three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or |
3. | Become a “Large accelerated filer,” defined by the SEC as a company with world-wide public float of its common equity of $700 million or more. |
The over-the-counter market for stock such as ours is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the public sale price.
The securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
Buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative.
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.
Resale Limitations imposed by most states will limit the ability of our shareholders to sell their securities unless they are Colorado residents.
The only state in which we plan to register this offering is Colorado. As a result, our selling shareholders may be limited in the sale of their Shares. The laws of most states require either an exemption from prospectus and registration requirements of the securities laws to sell their shares or registration for sale by this prospectus. These restrictions will limit the ability of non-residents of Colorado to sell the securities. Residents of other states must rely on available exemptions to sell their securities, such as Rule 144, and if no exemptions can be relied upon, then the selling shareholders may have to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time. Shareholders of states other than Colorado should consult independent legal counsel to determine the availability and use of exemptions to re-sell their securities.
We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock.
We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
We currently occupies approximately 500 square feet of office and retail space which we rents from our President and largest shareholder on a month-to-month basis, currently without charge. This space is considered to be sufficient for us at the present time. We also own office equipment and the design plans for our propose software product.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of any material legal proceeding.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
We held no shareholders meetings in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Holders
As of September 30, 2015, there were 59 record holders of our common stock, and there were 22,033,080 shares of our common stock outstanding.
Market Information
No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
| ● | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
| | |
| ● | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; |
| | |
| ● | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
| | |
| ● | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
| | |
| ● | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
| | |
| ● | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation; |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
| | |
| ● | the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
| | |
| ● | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
| | |
| ● | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
| | |
| ● | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
We have no outstanding stock options or other equity compensation plans.
Dividend Policy
We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.

Results of Operations.
From our inception on October 15, 2007 through September 30, 2015, we have generated no revenue and have no operations. As a result we have no operating history upon which to evaluate our intended business. In addition, we have a history of losses.
As of our fiscal year end, September 30, 2015 and 2014, our accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of net losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop and market our software and our ability to generate revenues.
Operating expenses, which consisted solely of general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, were $9,685. This compares with operating expenses for the fiscal year period ended September 30, 2014 of $9,915. The major components of general and administrative expenses include accounting fees, office fees and stock transfer fees.
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $27,050 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. This compares with a net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 of $27,894.
Because we do not pay salaries, and our major professional fees have been paid for the year, operating expenses are expected to remain fairly constant through the end of our fiscal year.
Our operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, were fairly similar. We have generated no revenue and had no development of artist relationships, no products to sell and no technology developed to provide our products during these periods. Our activities have been completely directed at developing our business plan for eventually generating revenue. Our operating expenses consisted solely of general and administrative expenses. Because we generated no revenue, we operated at a loss in all relevant periods.
To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of proposed business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $25,000 in revenue per year. Each dollar of revenue is not directly tied to increasing costs. We believe that we can become profitable without incurring additional costs under our current operating cost structure. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Gibbs has orally agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2016, for working capital purposes, although he has no obligation to do so.
On the other hand, if we decide that we cannot operate at a profit in our current configuration, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In such event, we will probably not be profitable. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $25,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of September 30, 2015, we had cash or cash equivalents of $240. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash or cash equivalents of $240.
Net cash used for operating activities was $9,200 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and $0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
Cash flows from investing activities was $0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and $0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $9,200 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and $0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. These cash flows were all related to the issuance of notes.
Over the next twelve months we do not expect any material capital costs to develop operations. We plan to buy office equipment to be used in our operations, which is included in our $25,000 operating costs. Our operating costs of $25,000 will be used for operations, but none will be used to pay salaries.
Our principal source of liquidity will be our operations. We expect variation in revenues to account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the U.S. economy. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop a music business and our ability to generate revenues.
In any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will be to seek to develop clients for our services and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in developing clients for our services and generating sufficient sales, we will become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any manner which will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
Plan of Operation.
Our plan for the twelve months beginning October 1, 2015 is to operate at a profit or at break even. Our plan is to attract sufficient additional product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations. Our current organization structure consists of Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Milonas and Mr. Sobnosky. However, we believe their efforts and resources will be sufficient to develop our product.
Our product is currently under development. We estimate that it will take until June, 2016 for our product to be completed. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to be profitable in any case for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. The development of this product is expected to cost approximately $75,000, with this amount being comprised entirely of software development and integration labor costs.
The finished computer appliance product will retain for $25,000 for the enterprise edition. We estimate that selling an average of one appliance product a quarter will result in profitability for the Company.
Currently, we are conducting business in only one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. We have no plans to expand into other locations or areas. The timing of the completion of the milestones needed to become profitable is not directly dependent on anything except our ability to develop sufficient revenues. Further, once we begin operations, which we anticipate will occur in June, 2016, we believe that we can attract sufficient product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to eventually become profitable in our operations, although we do not have the ability to determine a time frame for profitability. Our principal cost will be marketing our product. At this point, we do not know the scope of our potential marketing costs but will use our existing resources to market our product. Our resources consist of our available cash and advances from Mr. Gibbs, who has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2016 for working capital purposes, although he is under no contractual obligation to do so.
If we are not successful in our operations we will be faced with several options:
1. | Cease operations and go out of business; |
2. | Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital; |
3. | Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or |
4. | Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing sources |
We believe that we have sufficient capability for our current level of operations through September 30, 2016. We can continue to operate as we have in the past with approximately $15,000 per year in capital. We are relying upon funding from Mr. Gibbs or other shareholders, none of whom have an obligation to do so. Further, once we begin operations, which we anticipate will occur in the first fiscal quarter of next year, we believe that we can attract sufficient product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations. Additional resources would be needed to expand into additional locations, which we have no plans to do at this time. We do not anticipate needing to raise additional capital resources in the next twelve months. Mr. Gibbs, although he is not obligated to do so, has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2016 for working capital purposes. If we can become profitable, we could operate at our present level indefinitely. To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate nor have we any intention of doing so.
Proposed Milestones to Implement Business Operations
At the present time, we plan to operate from one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. Our plan is to make our operation profitable by the end of our next fiscal year. We estimate that we must generate approximately $25,000 in sales per year to be profitable. However, we can continue to operate as we have in the past with approximately $15,000 per year in capital.
We believe that we can be profitable or at break even by the end of the current fiscal year, assuming sufficient sales. Based upon our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations and from working capital financing is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $25,000 in revenue per year. However, we can continue to operate as we have in the past with approximately $15,000 per year in capital. If our forecasts are inaccurate, we may need to raise additional funds. Our resources consist of our available cash and advances from Mr. Gibbs, who has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2016 for working capital purposes, although he is under no contractual obligation to do so. On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet our expenses. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $20,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months for general and administrative expenses prior to generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business
Other than advances from Mr. Gibbs, who has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through September 30, 2016 for working capital purposes, although he is under no contractual obligation to do so, there is no assurance that additional funds will be made available to us on terms that will be acceptable, or at all, if and when needed. We expect to generate and increase sales, but there can be no assurance we will generate sales sufficient to continue operations or to expand.
We also are planning to rely on the possibility of referrals from clients and will strive to satisfy our clients. We believe that referrals will be an effective form of advertising because of the quality of service that we bring to clients. We believe that satisfied clients will bring more and repeat clients.
In the next 12 months, we do not intend to spend any material funds on research and development and do not intend to purchase any large equipment.
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 revenues to be impacted by seasonal demands for our services.

We have audited the balance sheets of Bulk Storage Software, Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 positions of the Company as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The 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 experienced recurring operating losses, negative cash flows, and has had an accumulated deficit of $221,073 since inception. This raise substantial doubt about the Company's 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.
