Moreover, in addition to monies needed to continue operations over the next twelve months, we anticipate requiring additional funds in order to execute any future plans for growth. No assurance can be given that such funds will be available or, if available, will be on commercially reasonable terms satisfactory to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing if or when it is needed on terms we deem acceptable.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
The CFO service industry is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, broader service lines and greater financial resources and advertising budgets than we do. Many of our competitors offer similar services or alternatives to our services. We intend to rely solely on concepts developed by Wesley Ramjeet, our CEO and a director. There can be no assurance that we will procure a market that will be available to support the services we will offer or allow us to seek expansion. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in this marketplace.
Our success depends on our ability to attract customers on cost-effective terms. If we are unsuccessful at attracting a sufficient number of clients, our ability to get repeat customers and our financial condition will be harmed.
We currently have only two customers, Micro-Cap Review, Inc. and 3A Media, Inc., who account for 100% of our total revenues. These customers are also related parties because they are substantially owned by Mr. Wesley Ramjeet, our CEO, director and controlling shareholder While we believe our relationships with Micro-Cap Review, Inc. and 3A Media, Inc. are stable, a significant decrease or interruption in business from these significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We plan to expand our customer base in the upcoming year to mitigate this risk.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our marketing to the existing business relationships of our CEO, Wesley Ramjeet. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease our operations.
Because Our CEO Will Not Be Devoting His Full Time To Our Operations, Our Operations May Be Sporadic. This Could Prevent Us From Attracting Customers And Result In A Reduction Of Revenues That May Cause Us To Suspend Or Cease Operations.
Our CEO, Wesley Ramjeet, will not be devoting his full time to our operations. Mr. Ramjeet estimates that he will be committing approximately ten (10) hours per week to our operations and expansion over the next twelve (12) months. As a result, our operations may be sporadic, which could prevent us from attracting some customers. Such loss of customers may result in a reduction of revenues and make our operations unprofitable. This could ultimately lead to the cessation of our operations.
We Are Dependent On Our CEO, Wesley Ramjeet, To Guide Our Initial Operations and Implement Our Plan Of Operations. If We Lose His Services We Will Have To Cease Operations.
Our success will depend on the ability and resources of Mr. Ramjeet. If we lose the services of Mr. Ramjeet, we will cease operations. Presently, Mr. Ramjeet is committed to providing approximately ten (10) hours per week to our operations and expansion. However, Mr. Ramjeet does engage in other business activities. We currently have a consulting agreement but no employment agreement with Mr. Ramjeet.
Potential Conflicts of Interest for Wesley Ramjeet, Our CEO and Director
Our CEO and director, Wesley Ramjeet, owns and operates a privately held consulting firm called Profit Planners, Inc. Profit Planners, Inc. markets itself to publicly-held corporations and provides such services as the preparation of financial statements for inclusion in SEC periodic reports, as well as advising on the suitability from an accounting standpoint of potential acquisition targets for public companies. In many cases the clients of Profit Planners, Inc. have Chief Financial Officers in place. Mr. Ramjeet is also the owner of 33% of CPA Tax Strategies, Inc., a privately held consulting firm that provides tax return preparation and tax advice services to businesses. As a result of his ownership of the above identified entities, Mr. Ramjeet may periodically have a conflict of interest with respect to our prospective clients and presenting the corporate opportunity to us rather than another entity that he wholly or partially owns.
We do however believe that there are enough differences in the services offered by us, the type of clients that we will be marketing ourselves to, and the terms of our engagement that the potential conflicts of interest identified above will be minimized. While Profit Planners, Inc. generally markets itself only to publicly-held companies, and CPA Tax Strategies, Inc. does not generally provide advice on the tax ramifications of potential corporate transactions, it is possible that the business areas of these companies will overlap with ours and that they could be competitors for our business. This overlap could result in a reduction in our business and reduce our revenue and negatively effect our results of operations.
Risks Relating To Our Common Stock
The Offering Price Of The Shares Was Arbitrarily Determined, and Therefore Should Not Be Used As An Indicator Of The Future Market Price Of Our Shares. Since the Offering Price Bears No Relationship To The Actual Value Of The Company, It May Make Our Shares Difficult To Sell.
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.10 per share for the shares was arbitrarily determined. We did not consider our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history or the general condition of the securities market when we arbitrarily determined our offering price. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
Because There Is No Public Trading Market For Our Common Stock, You May Not Be Able To Resell Your Stock.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
There Is No Assurance Of A Public Market Or That Our Common Stock Will Ever Trade On A Recognized Exchange or Quotation System. Therefore, You May Be Unable To Liquidate Your Investment In Our Stock.
There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, to create such listing or quotation, nor can there be any assurance that such an application would be approved if filed, or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.
10
Our Common Stock Is Considered A Penny Stock, Which Is Subject To Restrictions On Marketability, So You May Not Be Able To Sell Your Shares.
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
FINRA Sales Practice Requirements May Limit A Stockholder's Ability To Buy And Sell Our Stock.
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.
THE OFFERING
This prospectus relates to the resale by the Selling Stockholders of up to 756,669 shares of our common stock. Such shares were acquired by the Selling Stockholders in private transactions which closed on February 13, 2009 and August 7, 2009 pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Regulation D of the Securities Act. On February 13, 2009, we closed a private transaction with thirteen persons, including our current officers and directors and certain affiliates thereof, whereby we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $.001 per share for total proceeds to us of $10,000. On August 7, 2009, we closed a second private transaction with four investors whereby we issued an additional 416,669 shares of our common stock at a price of $.03 per share for total proceeds to us of $12,500.
The Selling Stockholders will be offering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus at a price of $0.10 per share until a public market develops for shares of our common stock, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
11
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Selling Stockholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of these shares. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the Selling Stockholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.10 per share was arbitrarily determined by our board of directors.
The offering price does not bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Although our common stock is not listed or quoted on any public exchange, we plan to pursue the quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to, our results of operations, the public’s perception of our business prospects, and the depth and liquidity of any market for our shares.
Dilution.
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
Selling Stockholders.
The shares being offered for resale by the Selling Stockholders consist of the 756,669 shares of our common stock held by fifteen (15) shareholders, were acquired by the Selling Stockholders in private transactions which closed on February 13, 2009 and August 7, 2009.

Each of the investors was provided with detailed disclosure of the material facts of the company and were given the opportunity to ask questions and request any additional information. Each of the investors in the February 2009 private transaction made an independent decision to acquire shares of the company and the sales closed on February 13, 2009.
On August 7, 2009, we closed a second private transaction with four investors whereby we issued an additional 416,669 shares of our common stock at a price of $.03 per share for total proceeds to us of $12,500. The investors in the August 7, 2009 private transaction are not affiliates, are not controlled by our affiliates, and they are not now, and have not at any time in the past been, officers or directors of ours or any of our affiliates.

Each of the investors in the August 2009 private transaction made an independent decision to acquire shares of the company and the sales closed on August 7, 2009.
The following table sets forth the name of the Selling Stockholders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the Selling Stockholders as of September 1 , 2009 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders.

Plan of Distribution.
The Selling Stockholders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Prior to being quoted on the OTCBB, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. However, sales by the Selling Stockholders must be made at the fixed price of $0.10 until a public market develops for our shares of common stock.
There is no established public trading market for our securities. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. In order for our shares to be quoted, a market maker must agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB. In addition, it is possible that such application for quotation may not be approved, and even if approved, it is possible that a regular trading market will not develop, or that if developed, will not be sustained.
If a market develops for our common stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the Selling Stockholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
·
ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,
·
transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading,
·
through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,
·
through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise), or
·
any combination of the foregoing.
In addition, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute shares of our common stock.
14
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $6,000.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our Background
Profit Planners Management, Inc. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on January 29, 2009.
Our Business
We are a development stage company with a very limited operating history. We provide short-term (one to three month) engagements of an outside chief financial officer (“CFO”) to help companies complete certain transactions or restructurings. Such transactions include, but are not limited to, the sale of a business, business reorganizations, the transfer of a family business, estate planning and the tax implications of such transactions. There are many similar situations where a small to mid-sized company, which normally would not have a CFO, would need one for a period of time to complete a business transaction. Additionally, we will provide monthly accounting services to businesses that do not have an accounting department. Generally the contracts for our engagement to provide monthly accounting services will be for one-year terms and would be renewable for additional one-year periods with the mutual consent of the parties to the agreement.
We will target our marketing to small to mid-sized companies whose revenues and general business operations do not support, or require, the employment of a full time chief financial officer. When a company of this size is presented with a more complex business transaction, such as a business reorganization, it may not have an employee with the expertise to complete that transaction. We offer such companies a short-term, lower cost alternative to hiring a full-time CFO, whose services may only be needed for the time it takes to complete a specific complex transaction. We believe there are many similar situations where a small to mid-sized company, which normally would not have a CFO, would need one for a period of time to complete a business transaction, and we seek to fill this need by providing such companies with a short-term, contracted CFO consultant.
We will contract out our CFO consultants to clients on a monthly basis with our fees being paid either on a “per hour” basis or on a monthly retainer basis. The fees we will charge each client will depend on the complexity of the services being provided and the length of the term of engagement and will be negotiated with each client on an individual basis. We do not currently have a set fee structure for our services.
16
On March 1, 2009, we entered into an agreement to provide CFO and accounting services to 3A Media, Inc., a private New Jersey corporation (“3A Media”). Under the terms of this agreement, we will provide general CFO and accounting services to 3A Media for a fee of $1,000 per month. The term of this agreement expires on August 31, 2009, at which time 3A Media has the option to renew the contract for successive one-year terms. Currently the services that we are providing to 3A Media are mainly for monthly accounting services.
On April 1, 2009, we entered into an agreement to provide CFO and accounting services to Micro-Cap Review, Inc., a private Nevada corporation (“Micro-Cap”). Under the terms of this agreement, we will provide general CFO and accounting services to Micro-Cap for a fee of $1,000 per month. The term of this agreement expires on September 30, 2009, at which time Micro-Cap has the option to renew the contract for successive one-year terms. Currently the services that we are providing Micro-Cap are mainly for monthly accounting services.
Our contracts with 3A Media and Micro-Cap represent 100% of our current revenue from operations. Both 3A Media and Micro-Cap are materially owned or controlled by our CEO and director, Wesley Ramjeet.
We plan to expand our client base over the next twelve (12) months to include relationships with independent clients through the marketing of our services by Mr. Ramjeet. There can be no guarantee however, that any additional clients will be identified or that they will enter into contracts for our services.
Marketing
Our marketing efforts will be targeted to small to mid sized companies that are known to, located or identified by our CEO . We will also utilize our contacts with other professional service firms (law firms, investment bankers, venture capital firms and CPA audit firms) that provide services to the small and middle market sector for referrals of potential clients. Our focus will be on expanding our client base to include companies that are not affiliated with our CEO. We believe that this strategy will provide the best results given our limited marketing budget.
Our target will be on companies that have sales of less than $100 million and are based in North America. Our industry focus is media, technology, oil, gas, coal and renewable energy. Although we will focus on these industries we will look at opportunities in other industries if it makes economic sense.
We do not currently have a web-site, however, we have reserved the domain name www.profitplannersmgt.com and we intend to develop a web-site as part of our marketing strategy.
Competition
The CFO service industry is highly competitive. There are many firms that provide services similar to ours in our market. Among the leaders are Tatum, LLC and The CFO Connection.
In addition, many of the mid-tiered public accounting firms typically provide such services. Among such firms are CBIZ, Inc. and J H Cohn, Inc.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, broader service lines and greater financial resources and advertising budgets than we do. Therefore, we anticipate substantial competition from other firms in our industry.
Employees
As of September 1 , 2009, we had no employees other than our two (2) officers and directors, Mr. Wesley Ramjeet and Mr. Bradley Steere. We anticipate that we will not hire any employees in the next twelve months unless we generate significant additional revenues from operations or raise sufficient funds from financing activities. Our CEO is a CPA and is available to be contracted out to clients who need our services. For potential clients with larger projects, we have access to independent professionals who are available to provide services to such clients

of the company on a sub-contracting basis. Our sources for such independent professionals are the contacts of our CEO and the availability of persons through the Linked-In service. Should such sub-contractors be needed, we will enter into an agreement with such person and then contract out the professional to our client for the term of the engagement. Eventually, we plan to employ sufficient personnel that such sub-contracting relationships will not be necessary. We believe our future success depends in large part upon the continued service of our CEO, Wesley Ramjeet.
General
As stated above, we are a development stage company and to date we have received minimal revenues from our operations. Our independent auditors have raised substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern without significant additional financing. Our management estimates that we will need to raise a minimum of $500,000 over the next twelve (12) months to execute our business strategy, including the implementation of our marketing strategy, which is currently under development. We estimate that it will take a minimum of twelve (12) months to execute our marketing strategy.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our executive, administrative and operating offices are located at 110 West 40th Street, Suite 2503, New York, N.Y. 10018. This is also the office of other companies owned and controlled by our CEO and director, Wesley Ramjeet. Mr. Ramjeet makes this space available to the company free of charge. There is no written agreement documenting this arrangement.
We have no policies with respect to investments in real estate or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages, or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against us in the United States.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Profit Planners Management, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Profit Planners Management, Inc. (the “Company”) (a development stage company), as of May 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from January 29, 2009 (date of inception) to May 31, 2009. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). 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 is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 the 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 audit provides 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 Profit Planners Management, Inc. as of May 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 29, 2009 (date of inception) to May 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has operating losses and an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are 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
May 31, 2009
1. Organization and Operations
Profit Planners Management, Inc. (the “Company”), a development stage company, was incorporated on January 29, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company derives revenue from management, financial and accounting advisory services mainly through consulting agreements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation - Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred operating losses from inception through the period ended May 31, 2009. In addition, at May 31, 2009 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $617. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken and the success of future operations will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.
During March 2009, the Company raised gross proceeds of $10,000 through the raising of equity from related parties for the purpose of funding operating expenses.
However, there can be no assurance that the raising of equity will be successful and that the Company’s anticipated financing will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory to the Company. Failure to achieve the equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of 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.
Cash
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At May 31, 2009, the balance did not exceed the federally insured limit.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. The Company has determined that as of May 31, 2009, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required as all receivables were subsequently collected in June 2009 The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables.

Profit Planners Management, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived from management, financial and accounting advisory services. The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company’s policy is to classify penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions, if required, as a component of its income tax provisions.
Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128,Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of May 31, 2009.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP SFAS 157-4,Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed, which further clarifies the principles established by SFAS No. 157. The guidance is effective for the periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for the periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Various accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
3. Concentration Risk
For the period from January 29, 2009 (inception) to May 31, 2009, the Company had two customers, 3A Media, Inc. (“3A”) and Micro-Cap Review, Inc. (“Micro-Cap”), who accounted for 60% and 40%, respectively, of total revenues in the amount of $5,000. These customers are also related parties because they are substantially owned by Mr. Wesley Ramjeet, the Company’s CEO, director and controlling stockholder. While management of the Company believes these relationships with these customers are stable, a significant decrease or interruption in business from these significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company plans to greatly expand its customer base in the upcoming year to mitigate this risk.

4. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company was incorporated on January 29, 2009. The Company authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001 and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001. During February 2009, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to its initial investors.
5. Service Agreements
On March 1, 2009, 3A entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with the Company for consulting services to provide monthly management and financial advisory services to 3A’s management. The agreement provides for a management fee of $1,000 per month to be paid to the Company. As of May 31, 2009, the Company has recorded an accounts receivable of $3,000 to reflect three month’s revenue.
On April 1, 2009, Micro-Cap entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with the Company for consulting services to provide monthly management and financial advisory services to Micro-Cap’s management. The agreement provides for a management fee of $1,000 per month to be paid to the Company. As of May 31, 2009, the Company has recorded an accounts receivable of $2,000 to reflect two month’s revenue.
6. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows as of May 31, 2009:
| |
Deferred tax asset – organization costs | $93 |
Valuation allowance | (93) |
Net deferred tax asset | $ – |
The Company periodically evaluates whether it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred income tax asset. The ultimate realization of this asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income sufficient to offset the related deductions. At the present time, management cannot presently determine when the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset; accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established to offset the asset.
The reconciliation of income tax benefit attributable to continuing operations computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rates to the income tax benefit recorded is as follows for the period ended May 31, 2009:
| |
Income tax at U.S. statutory rate of 15% | $(93) |
Increase in valuation allowance | 93 |
Income tax benefit | $ – |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Introduction
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Plan of Operation
We are a Nevada Corporation founded in January 2009. We provide short-term (one to three month) engagements of an outside chief financial officer (“CFO”) to assist companies with certain transactions or restructurings. Such transactions include, but are not limited to, the sale of a business, business reorganizations, the transfer of a family business, estate planning and the tax implications of such transactions. There are many similar situations where a small company, which normally would not have a CFO, would need one for a period of time to complete a business transaction. We intend, through the existing relationships of our CEO, to target companies that may need our services.
Marketing
Our marketing efforts will be targeted to small to mid sized companies that are known to, located or identified by our CEO. We will also utilize our contacts with other professional service firms (law firms, investment bankers, venture capital firms and CPA audit firms) that provide services to the small and middle market sector for referrals of potential clients. Our focus will be on expanding our client base to include companies that are not affiliated with our CEO. We believe that this strategy will provide the best results given our limited marketing budget.
Our target will be on companies that have sales of less than $100 million and are based in North America. Our industry focus is media, technology, oil, gas, coal and renewable energy. Although we will focus on these industries we will look at opportunities in other industries if it makes economic sense.
We do not currently have a web-site, however, we have reserved the domain name www.profitplannersmgt.com and we intend to develop a web-site as part of our marketing strategy.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation - Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred operating losses from inception through the period ended May 31, 2009. In addition, at May 31, 2009 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $617. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In August the Company raised $12,500 from the sale of its common stock.
During February 2009, the Company raised gross proceeds of $10,000 through the raising of equity from persons including related parties for the purpose of funding operating expenses.
However, there can be no assurance that the raising of future equity will be successful and that the Company’s anticipated financing will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory to the Company. Failure to achieve the
30
equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. The Company has determined that as of May 31, 2009, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required because we reviewed our subsequent cash collections and all receivables were subsequently collected in June 2009. The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived from management, financial and accounting advisory services. The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.

Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128,Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of May 31, 2009.

Results of Operations
For the period from January 29, 2009 (Inception) through May 31, 2009, we had related-party service income of $5,000. There was no cost of goods related to this service income for the period ended May 31, 2009. Expenses for the period totaled $5,617 resulting in a net loss of $617.
Operating expenses were $5,617, mainly comprised of filing fees related to the incorporation of the Company of $1,029, related party consulting fees for Wesley Ramjeet, CEO, of $4,500 and office service expense of $88.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of May 31, 2009, we had cash of $8,883. In order for us to execute our business plan we will need to raise at least $500,000 in debt or equity. The funds are needed for building out the management team, sales and marketing and working capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds needed to execute our business plan.
If we are unable to satisfy our cash requirements we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we will suspend or cease operations.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
The following table sets forth, as of September 1 , 2009, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock: (i) by each of our directors and executive officers; (ii) by all directors and executive officers as a group; or (iii) by all persons known to us to own 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock. The mailing address for each of the persons indicated is our corporate headquarters.
Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC. In general, these rules attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power and/or investment power with respect to those securities and include, among other things, securities that an individual has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days. Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholders identified in the following table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.
| | | | | | | |
| | Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned (1) | |
Name | | Number of Shares | | Percent of Class | |
| | | | | |
Wesley Ramjeet | | | 6,600,000 (2) | | | 63.36% | |

| | | | | | | |
All directors and executive officers | | | 7,800,000 | | | 74.88% | |
(1)
As used in this table, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares (a) the power to vote, or direct the voting of, such security or (b) investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. In addition, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within sixty (60) days.
(2)
Mr. Ramjeet personally owns 6,600,000 shares of our common stock.
(3)
Mr. Steere personally owns 1,200,000 shares of our common stock.
The percentages in the above table are computed based upon a total of 10,416,669 shares or common stock being outstanding on September 1 , 2009.

ITEM 14. | Indemnification Of Directors And Officers. |
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of the registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
| | |
| 1. | Article XI of our Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this registration statement. |
| | |
| 2. | Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 78. |
The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability, thereby making the company responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons against liability under the Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

A. | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
|
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
|
| | (a) | include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
| | (b) | reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
| (c) | include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution. |
|
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
|
B. | The issuer is subject to Rule 430C of the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
|
C. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |

|
D. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. | |
