PROSPECTUS
NINE MILE SOFTWARE, INC.
714,290 Shares of Common Stock
This is our initial public offering. We are offering a minimum of 214,290
shares of common stock and a maximum of 714,290 shares at the purchase price of
$0.70 per share on a self underwritten, best efforts basis.
Until the minimum of $150,003 is realized by selling a minimum of 214,290
shares offered hereby, all payments for shares will be deposited into an escrow
account with Escrow Specialists, an unaffiliated escrow company in Ogden, Utah,
which will be our escrow agent. If the minimum of $150,003 is not raised, all
payments deposited in the escrow account will be promptly refunded in full,
without interest and without any deduction for expenses. Once $150,003 is
realized, all funds held in the escrow account will be released to us and we
will continue to sell shares up to the maximum amount of 714,290 shares at a
total sales price to the public of $500,003.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. If we sell at least the minimum number of shares, of which there is no
assurance, we intend to contact an authorized market maker to sponsor our
securities on the OTC Bulletin Board, a quotation service for subscribing NASD
members. There is, however, no assurance that our shares will ever be quoted on
the Bulletin Board or by any other marketplace.
We will sell the shares in this offering through our officers and
directors. Officers and directors engaged in the sale of our shares will receive
no commission from sales nor will any officer or director register as a
broker-dealer. We have no intention of inviting broker-dealer participation in
this offering. We may advertise and hold investment meetings in various states
where the offering will be registered. We will also distribute this prospectus
to potential investors at the meetings and to our friends and relatives who are
interested in Nine Mile Software and a possible investment in the offering.
The securities offered in this prospectus involve a high degree of risk and
substantial dilution. An investment in our common stock should be made only by
investors who can afford a loss of their entire investment. You should carefully
consider the "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5 of this prospectus and the
matters discussed under "Dilution" on page 9.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained throughout this prospectus.
Before making an investment decision, you should read carefully the entire
prospectus, including the information under the "Risk Factors" section and our
financial statements and related notes.
OUR BUSINESS
We incorporated on November 30, 2006 in the State of Nevada. We are
developing and intend to produce and distribute to the financial services
industry, the TradePro portfolio rebalancing and trade generation program. We
anticipate launching this product in the third or fourth quarter of 2007. We
intend to market TradePro to independent Registered Investment Advisors
("RIAs").
Our principal executive offices are located at 1245 East Brickyard Road,
Suite 590, Salt Lake City, Utah 84106 and our telephone number is (801)
433-2000.
We are not a blank check company and do not have any intention to engage in
a reverse merger with any entity in an unrelated industry.
NUMBER OF SHARES BEING OFFERED
We are offering a minimum of 214,290 and a maximum of 714,290 shares of our
common stock on a self underwritten, best efforts basis. Our officers and
directors will offer and sell the shares, but will receive no commission in
connection with sales. Proceeds from sales will be deposited into an escrow
account at Escrow Specialists in Ogden, Utah. If the minimum amount is not
raised, all payments deposited in the escrow account will be refunded in full,
without interest and without any deduction for expenses. If at least the minimum
amount is realized, all funds held in escrow will be released to us and we will
continue to sell shares up to the maximum amount.
NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING
We have 1,822,000 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31,
2007 and at the date of this prospectus. If we sell the minimum amount, we will
have a total of 2,036,290 shares outstanding and if the maximum amount is sold,
we will have a total of 2,536,290 shares outstanding.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of shares to finish programming
the TradePro product, develop and implement marketing strategies and to hire
service personnel.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk, and
should not be made by anyone who cannot afford to lose his or her entire
investment. You should consider carefully the risks set forth in this section,
together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before
deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following events or risks
actually occurs, our business, operating results and financial condition would
likely suffer materially and you could lose your entire investment.
Going Concern
We may not be able to continue as a going concern.
Our independent registered public accountants have reviewed our financial
data and information and rendered a statement that they have substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern for the following reasons:
o we have limited financial resources and have incurred a net loss since
inception through March 31, 2007;
o we have limited working capital and stockholders` equity; and
o our ability to establish an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to
cover operating costs and operate successfully is uncertain.
If we fail to produce revenues, our business could fail, we could cease
operations and you would lose your entire investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a limited operating history, have not recorded revenues or
operating profits since inception and, if we are unable to generate
sufficient revenues to pay expenses in the near future, our business may
fail resulting in the loss of any money invested in our common stock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have a limited operating history and have not realized any revenues or
operating profits since our inception in November 2006. We face all the risks
and problems associated with businesses in their early stages in a competitive
environment. Prospective investors have only limited information on which to
make an evaluation of our prospects. Our principal product, the TradePro
portfolio rebalancing program, has not been fully developed and has never been
commercially marketed. If we are unable to successfully market the TradePro
within a reasonable time, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows
to meet operating expenses. Our prospects should be considered in light of the
risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of
any new business in a competitive environment.
As a public company our cost of doing business will increase because of
necessary expenses, including compliance with SEC reporting requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because we are becoming a public company, we will incur significant legal,
accounting and other expenses to comply with certain SEC requirements and, in
particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Sarbanes-Oxley and other rules
implemented by the SEC, requires management to assess its internal controls over
financial reporting and requires auditors to attest to that assessment. Current
regulations require us to include this assessment and attestation in our annual
report on Form 10-KSB commencing with the annual report for our fiscal year
ending December 31, 2007.
Management will need to invest significant time and energy to stay current
with the public company responsibilities of our business, which will limit their
time they can apply to other tasks associated with operating our business. It is
possible that the additional burden and expense of operating as a public company
will cause us to fail to achieve profitability, which would cause our business
to fail and our investors to lose all their money invested in our stock.
-5-
We estimate that remaining a public company will cost us in excess of
$25,000 annually. This is in addition to all of the other cost of doing
business. It is important that we maintain adequate cash flow not only to
operate our business, but also to pay the cost of remaining public. If we fail
to pay public company costs as such costs are incurred, we will become
delinquent in our reporting obligations and our shares may no longer remain
qualified for quotation on a public market, if one should develop. Further,
investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements
causing our stock price to decline.
We may need additional capital to fulfill our business strategies, which
may not be available at attractive terms, or at all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we realize the maximum amount from this offering, we expect that we can
complete development of and commence marketing the TradePro program during the
next twelve months. If, however, we realize more than the minimum amount but
less than the maximum amount, we may need to secure additional funds in order to
expand marketing efforts, continue with research and development, add additional
research and marketing staff and acquire additional equipment. If cash flows
from operations are insufficient to fund expected capital needs, or our needs
are greater than anticipated, we will need to raise additional funds possibly
through private or public sales of equity securities or the incurrence of debt.
Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we
borrow funds, we would likely be obligated to make periodic interest or other
debt service payments and be subject to additional restrictive covenants. If we
raise additional funds through public or private sales of equity securities,
sales may be at prices below the market price of our stock and our stockholders
would suffer significant dilution. Failure to secure additional capital, if
needed, could force us to curtail our growth strategy, reduce or delay capital
expenditures and downsize operations, which would have a material negative
effect on our financial condition.
If we cannot complete development of and commence marketing TradePro, we
may not be able to realize sufficient revenues to continue operations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will use the proceeds from this offering to complete development of and
commence marketing TradePro. Because we have not commenced marketing TradePro,
actual results, if any, from our marketing efforts and planned operations are
difficult to predict and could vary significantly due to factors we cannot
presently control or predict. These factors could affect the size and viability
of the potential market for TradePro, marketing and sales costs, and the actual
demand for the product. Our inability to successfully market TradePro would
likely cause our business to fail and cause investors in our common stock to
lose their entire investment.
There is an uncertain market for TradePro.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a new business and have no marketing history to accurately predict
whether TradePro will be accepted by the financial services industry,
specifically RIAs, state registered advisors and financial planners. Further, we
cannot predict whether there will be sufficient demand for TradePro for us to
achieve and sustain profitability. If ultimately we are unable to achieve a
viable and profitable market for TradePro, our business would most likely fail
and investors in our shares would lose their entire investment.
We expect to encounter several competitive software programs on the market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After TradePro is fully developed and we begin marketing the software to
financial service firms and investment advisors, we will encounter competition
from other similar programs presently on the market. We believe our primary
competitors are iRebal, Tamarac Advisor and eAllocator. These competing software
programs and others on the market may offer similar or superior features to
TradePro at a competitive price. Competitors may also be able to develop new or
enhanced software that may be more efficient and less expensive than TradePro.
Further, competitors may develop proprietary positions that prevent us from
successfully commercializing new software that we may develop. As a result, our
software may not be able to compete successfully and new developments by others
-6-
may render our software obsolete or uneconomical. If we fail to address
competitive developments quickly and effectively, we will not be able to grow
our business or remain a viable entity.
Our business could be adversely affected by economic developments in the
financial services industry and/or the economy in general.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once we begin marketing TradePro, we will depend on the perceived demand
for the application of this technology. TradePro focuses on small to mid-tier
registered investment advisory businesses. Therefore, we may be susceptible to
downturns in the financial services industry and the economy in general. Any
significant downturn in the market or in general economic conditions would
likely negatively affect our business and your investment in our common stock.
If we fail to retain the services of our key personnel our business would
be adversely affected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our future success depends on retaining existing key employees and
executive officers and our ability to hire new key employees, as necessary. The
loss of existing key employees, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, Damon
Deru, or the inability to attract new key employees could limit our ability to
successfully market TradePro. This would be detrimental to future development of
new programs and products and to our overall business.
We may be unable to protect our software or intellectual property
adequately or cost effectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our future success depends in part on our ability to protect and preserve
proprietary rights related to our software. We currently are in the process of
seeking appropriate proprietary protection for our developing software and
resulting products and trademarks. We have obtained copyright protection on
"TradePro" and plan to continue to secure copyright protection as we make
enhancements and changes to the program. We also have retained legal
representation to conduct a patent search to help determine the patentability of
TradePro. We will assess the possibility of seeking patent protection for
TradePro when that search is completed. Our use of proceeds from this offering
anticipates seeking patent protection if we determine it is feasible and worth
the time, effort and cost. However, there is no guarantee that we can actually
obtain a patent. We will continue to pursue additional protections for our
intellectual property as we develop new software and related products and
enhance existing products. Our inability to obtain appropriate protections for
our intellectual property may allow competitors to enter our markets and produce
or sell the same or similar software and programs. Further, if we do obtain
these protections, we many not be able to prevent third parties from using our
software or other intellectual property rights and technology without our
authorization. Enforcing intellectual property rights could be costly and
time-consuming and could distract management's attention from operating business
matters.
Our intellectual property may infringe on the rights of others, resulting
in costly litigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States
involving patents and other intellectual property rights, particularly the
filing of suits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights. Other
companies or individuals may allege that our software and programs infringe on
their patents or other intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in
the area of intellectual property rights, is costly and the outcome is
inherently uncertain. If we become engaged in such litigation and lose, we could
be liable for substantial damages, and be forced to re-engineer one or more of
our products, discontinue the use of the subject matter in question, obtain a
license to use those rights and/or develop non-infringing alternatives. Any of
these results would increase cash expenditures and adversely affect our
financial condition.
Risks Relating to the Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock
The book value of your investment after the offering will be much lower
than the purchase price, creating immediate dilution to your investment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchasers of our shares in this offering will suffer substantial and
immediate dilution to the book value of the common stock below the offering
-7-
price. The net tangible book value of our shares on March 31, 2007, was
approximately $0.02 per share. After sales of the minimum 214,290 shares, the
net tangible book value per share will be approximately $0.07, or a loss to
purchasers of approximately $0.63 per share. After sales of the maximum 714,290
shares, the net tangible book value per share will be approximately $0.20, or a
loss to purchasers of approximately $0.50 per share. Also, we presently have
outstanding stock purchase options to purchase a total of 610,000 shares of our
common stock at the exercise price of $0.025 per share. These options are not
exercisable until May 1, 2008 and are subject to certain vesting criteria based
on sales and profitability. If all or a portion of these options are exercised
at $0.025, purchasers in this offering would suffer additional dilution, based
on the number of options exercised.
Failure to sell the minimum number of shares offered will result in the
failure of this offering and your investment would be returned to you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We may not be able to sell the minimum number of shares required to close
this offering. Until 214,290 shares are subscribed and paid for, all proceeds
received from this offering will be placed in escrow at Escrow Specialists.
Proceeds from the offering will be released to us only upon satisfaction of this
minimum amount. If the minimum offering is not reached within the prescribed
time, all funds placed in the escrow account will be promptly returned to
investors without accrued interest. Thus, those persons subscribing to our stock
would lose the use of their funds during this period.
There is no public trading market for our common stock and there is no
assurance that a market will develop or be maintained.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is not currently, nor has there ever been, a public trading market
for our securities. Following completion of this offering, we intend to request
an authorized market maker to sponsor an application to have our common stock
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We cannot give you any assurance that our
shares will ever be quoted on the Bulletin Board or that an active trading
market will develop or be sustained. If an active trading market for our common
stock does not develop, it would be difficult, if not impossible, for
stockholders to liquidate their shares. Also, any future trading price for our
shares may be highly volatile and subject to significant fluctuations in
response to variations in our quarterly operating results and other factors.
These price fluctuations may adversely affect the liquidity of our shares, as
well as the price that holders may realize for their shares upon any future
sale.
The arbitrary offering price of our shares is not an indication of their
value.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our board of directors has arbitrarily determined the initial offering
price of the shares offered hereby, which price does not necessarily relate to
our asset value, earnings, net worth, financial condition or any other
established criteria of value. Also, the offering price bears no relationship to
any market price for the shares subsequent to the offering. The offering price
should not be regarded as an indication of the actual value or future market
price of the common stock.
We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We anticipate that we will retain any future earnings and other cash
resources for future operations and development of our business. Accordingly, we
do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. Any future payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our
board of directors after taking into account many factors, including operating
results, financial condition and capital requirements. Companies that pay
dividends may be viewed as a better investment than corporations that do not,
which could make our stock less attractive to potential investors.
Future sales or the potential for sale of a substantial number of shares of
our common stock, could cause our market value to decline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Immediately after this offering, if the maximum amount is fully subscribed,
we will have 2,536,290 shares of our common stock outstanding. Shares sold in
this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further
registration under the federal securities laws, unless purchased by our
affiliates. None of the 1,822,000 shares of our common stock outstanding
immediately prior to this offering will be subject to a lock-up agreement or
other arrangement precluding future sales by current holders. These shares are
considered restricted securities and may be sold only pursuant to a registration
statement or the availability of an appropriate exemption from registration.
-8-
Sales of a substantial number of these restricted shares in the public markets,
or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of
our common stock to decline and materially impair our ability to raise capital
through the sale of additional equity securities.
Trading in our shares will be subject to certain "penny stock" regulation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a market for our shares develops, trading will be subject to certain
provisions commonly referred to as the "penny stock rule." A penny stock is
generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, trading in our
stock will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers that may require a broker dealer to:
o make a special suitability determination for purchasers of penny
stocks;
o receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase; and
o deliver to a prospective purchaser of a penny stock, prior to the first
transaction, a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock
market.
Consequently, these disclosure requirements may restrict the ability of
broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our stock and reduce the
level of trading activity in the secondary market. Also, prospective investors
may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements.
For as long as our securities are subject to the rules on penny stocks, the
liquidity of our common stock could be significantly limited, which would have a
material adverse effect on the trading of our shares. This lack of liquidity may
also make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future.
Effective voting control will be held by our current directors and two
principal stockholders who will have the ability to control future election
of directors and the affairs of our company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presently, our directors and two principal stockholders own in the
aggregate approximately 85% of our outstanding common stock. If the maximum
amount of this offering is sold, these persons will own approximately 61% of the
outstanding shares. Accordingly, current directors and principal stockholders
will have the ability to elect all of our directors, who in turn elect all
executive officers, and to control our business and other affairs without regard
to the votes of other stockholders.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements relating to future
events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will" "should,"
"expect," "intend," "plan," anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict,"
"potential," "continue," or similar terms, variations of such terms or the
negative of such terms. These statements are only predictions and involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks
discussed in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 5. Although
forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are
made in good faith and reflect our current judgment, actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Except as required by
applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not
intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these
statements to actual results.
DILUTION
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net
tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net
tangible book value is the amount resulting from subtracting total liabilities
and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution is primarily the result of our
arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered.
Dilution is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our
existing stockholders.
-9-
At March 31, 2007, our net tangible book value was $34,632 or approximately
$.02 per common share, based on 1,822,000 shares outstanding consisting. These
shares were sold to 13 individuals at a cash price of $.025 per share. We are
now offering a minimum of 214,290 shares and a maximum of 714,290 shares at a
price of $0.70 per share.
If 100% of the Shares are Sold
Upon completion of this offering and if all the offered shares are sold, we
will have 2,536,290 shares outstanding. Our post offering pro forma net book
value that gives effect to the receipt of the net proceeds from 100% of the
shares being sold, but does not take into consideration any other changes in net
tangible book value, will be $499,635, or approximately $0.20 per share. The net
tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder will increase
by $0.18 per share, without any additional investment on their part. You will
incur an immediate dilution from $0.70 per share to $0.20 per share.
If the maximum number of shares are sold, the purchasers of the shares will
own approximately 28% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which
they will have made a cash investment of $500,003, or $0.70 per share. Our
existing stockholders will own approximately 72% of the total number of shares
then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling
$45,550 or $0.025 per share.
If 50% of the Shares are Sold
Upon completion of this offering and if 50% of the offered shares are sold,
we will have 2,179,145 shares outstanding. Our post offering pro forma net book
value that gives effect to the receipt of the net proceeds from 50% of the
shares being sold, but does not take into consideration any other changes in net
tangible book value, will be $249,633, or approximately $0.11 per share. The net
tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder will increase
by $0.09 per share, without any additional investment on their part. You will
incur an immediate dilution from $0.70 per share to $0.59 per share.
If 50% of the offered shares are sold, the purchasers of the shares will
own approximately 16% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which
they will have made a cash investment of $250,001, or $0.70 per share. Our
existing stockholders will own approximately 84% of the total number of shares
then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling
$45,550 or $0.025 per share.
If Minimum Number of the Shares are Sold
Upon completion of this and if the minimum number of offered are sold, we
will have 2,036,290 shares outstanding. Our post offering pro forma net book
value that gives effect to the receipt of the net proceeds from the minimum
offering, but does not take into consideration any other changes in net tangible
book value, will be $149,635, or approximately $0.07 per share. The net tangible
book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder will increase by $0.05
per share, without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an
immediate dilution from $0.70 per share to $0.63 per share.
If the minimum number of the offered shares are sold, the purchasers of the
shares will own approximately 11% of the total number of shares then
outstanding, for which they will have made a cash investment of $150,003, or
$0.70 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 89% of the
total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions
of cash totaling $45,550 or $0.025 per share.

In addition to the above dilution calculations, prospective purchasers
should be aware that we have outstanding stock purchase options to purchase a
total of 610,000 shares of our common stock at the exercise price of $0.025 per
share. These options are not exercisable until May 1, 2008 and are subject to
certain vesting criteria based on sales and profitability. We cannot reasonably
predict whether these options will eventually vest or whether any or all of the
options will ever be exercised. However, if all or a portion of these options
are exercised at $0.025, purchasers in this offering would suffer additional
dilution. The 610,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the options would equal
approximately 19% of the 3,146,290 total shares that would be outstanding,
assuming the maximum number of shares are sold in this offering. The amount of
additional dilution would be based on the number of options actually exercised.
THE OFFERING
This is a self-underwritten offering whereby we are offering for sale to
the public a minimum of 214,290 shares of common stock and a maximum of up to
714,290 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share. We will offer the shares
directly to the public through our three directors, Damon Deru (Chief Executive
Officer), Andrew Limpert (Chairman of the Board) and Michael Christensen
(Secretary). No commissions will be paid in connection with the offer and sale
of the shares by us under this prospectus. Our officers and directors will not
purchase shares in this offering with the goal of assisting us to meet the
minimum offering.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. Consequently, our board of directors arbitrarily determined the initial
public offering price of $0.70 per share. Factors considered in determining the
offering price, in addition to prevailing market conditions, include an
assessment of our prospects. The offering price does not necessarily bear any
relationship to our current assets, book value, future earnings, net financial
condition or other established criteria of value and should not be regarded as
an indication of the actual value or future market price of the shares. Such
prices are subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors,
and no assurance can be given that the shares can be resold at the public
offering price.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate the net proceeds from the sale of shares offered hereby to be
approximately $465,000 if the maximum number is sold and approximately $115,000
if the minimum number is sold. Net proceeds are determined after deducting
estimated offering costs of approximately $35,000. We anticipate that the
estimated net proceeds will be used generally as set forth below, with the
highest priority uses listed first. The table sets forth the minimum, maximum
investments as well as an assumed sale of 50% of the shares. The percentages
have been rounded.

(1) Offering costs include accounting and legal fees, filing fees and
printing expenses. (2) Working capital includes office expenses and other
general corporate purposes.
Amounts set forth above merely indicate our best estimates for the proposed
use of proceeds. Actual expenditures may vary substantially from these estimates
depending on the total amount of proceeds realized, economic conditions and the
progress sustained in furthering our business.
We anticipate that, based on current plans and assumptions relating to our
business, the estimated maximum net proceeds will sustain our operating needs
for a period of approximately 18 months following completion of the offering. If
only the minimum amount is realized, we may only be able to sustain operating
needs for 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that our cash
requirements during this period will not exceed our available resources,
particularly if we realize less than the maximum proceeds. Upon attaining the
minimum offering amount and pending use of the net proceeds, the funds may be
invested in short-term interest-bearing securities or their equivalent.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our actual capitalization at March 31, 2007,

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Self-Underwritten Offering of Shares
We are offering a minimum of 214,290 shares and a maximum of up to 714,290
shares of common stock as a self-underwritten offering. The offering price is
$0.70 per share.
-12-
Until the minimum of 214,290 shares are sold and a minimum of $150,003
realized, all payments for shares will be deposited into an escrow account at
Escrow Specialists, Ogden, Utah. If at least $150,003 is not raised in this
offering, all payments deposited in the escrow account will be promptly refunded
in full, without interest and without any deduction for expenses. If at least
the minimum $150,003 is raised, all funds held in escrow will be released to us
and we will continue to sell shares up to the maximum amount of 714,290 shares.
We cannot assure you that all or any of the shares offered under this
prospectus will be sold. No one has committed to purchase any of the shares
offered. Therefore, we may sell only a nominal amount of shares and receive
minimal proceeds from the offering. We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel
this offering and to accept or reject any subscription in whole or in part, for
any reason or for no reason. Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected
promptly. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned by us to the
subscriber, without interest or deductions.
Once the minimum offering is satisfied, the escrowed funds will be
deposited into an account maintained by us and be immediately available to us.
There are no investor protections for the return of subscription funds once
accepted. After achieving the minimum offering, all subsequent proceeds from the
purchase of shares will be deposited into our company account and will be
immediately available to us. After we have sold the minimum amount, certificates
for shares purchased will be issued and distributed by our transfer agent
promptly after a subscription is accepted and "good funds" are received in our
account.
We will offer and sell the shares in this offering solely by our three
directors. No commissions will be paid for sales of the shares nor will any
individual director register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3(a)4-1. Rule 3(a)4-1 sets
forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may
participate in the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a
broker-dealer. We believe each of our directors satisfies the requirements of
Rule 3(a)4-1 in that:
o No director is subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is
defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his
participation;
o No director is being paid commissions or other remuneration based
either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;
o No director is, at the time of his participation, an associated person
of a broker- dealer; and
o Each director meets the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule
3(a)4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (i) primarily performs, or is
intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial
duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with
transactions in securities; (ii) is not a broker or dealer, or an
associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12
months; and (iii) does not participate in selling and offering of
securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in
reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).
As long as we satisfy all of these conditions, we believe that we will be
able to satisfy the requirements of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act,
notwithstanding that a portion of the proceeds from this offering will be used
to pay the salaries of our officers.
As our directors will sell the shares being offered pursuant to this
offering, Regulation M prohibits the company and its officers and directors from
certain types of trading activities during the time of distribution of our
securities. Specifically, Regulation M prohibits our officers and directors from
bidding for or purchasing any common stock or attempting to induce any other
person to purchase any common stock, until the distribution of our securities
pursuant to this offering has ended. We intend to advertise and hold investment
meetings in various states where the offering will be registered. We will also
distribute the prospectus to potential investors at the meetings and to our
friends and relatives who are interested in us and a possible investment in the
offering.
Offering Period and Expiration Date
This offering will commence on the effective date of this prospectus and
continue for a period of 90 business days. We may extend the offering for an
additional 90 business days unless the offering is completed or otherwise
terminated by us. In our sole discretion, we have the right to terminate the
offering at any time, even before we have sold the minimum 214,290 shares. We
have not identified any specific events that might trigger our decision to
terminate the offering.
-13-
Procedures for Subscribing
If you decide to subscribe for any shares in this offering, you must
deliver a check or certified funds together with a completed Subscription
Agreement for acceptance or rejection by us. All checks for subscriptions must
be made payable to "Escrow Specialists - Nine Mile Software, Inc., Escrow
Account." Upon receipt, all funds provided as subscriptions will be immediately
deposited into our escrow account and be available for use by us as soon as the
offing minimum of $150,003 has been achieved.
Right to Reject Subscriptions
We maintain the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in
part, for any reason or for no reason. All monies from rejected subscriptions
will be returned immediately to the subscriber, without interest or deductions.
Subscriptions for shares will be accepted or rejected within 48 hours of our
having received them.
Current Market for Our Shares
Our shares are not currently traded. Upon effectiveness of the registration
statement to which this prospectus relates, we intend to look for a market maker
to file on our behalf a Form 211 for the purpose of having our shares approved
for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, maintained by the National Association
of Securities Dealers. Regardless of whether our shares are approved for
quotation on the Bulletin Board, a purchaser of our shares may not be able to
resell the shares and our shares will remain subject to certain penny stock
rules.
If our shares are accepted for quotation on the Bulletin Board,
transactions in the shares will be subject to the penny stock rules.
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares
because they will be considered penny stocks and will be subject to the penny
stock rules. Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD brokers-dealers who
make a market in a penny stock.
A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a
market price of less than $5.00 per share. Under these regulations, a
broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer
or accredited investor, must make a special suitability determination for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior
to sale. An accredited investor is generally defined as an individual with net
worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or
$300,000 together with his or her spouse. In addition, penny stock regulations
require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny
stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock
market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A
broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the
broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the
securities. Finally, a broker- dealer is required to send monthly statements
disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a
customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny
stocks.
These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon
brokers-dealers will discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in
our shares, which will severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and
impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market, assuming one develops.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, and
disputes with third parties incidental to the normal operations of the business.
As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any material claims,
lawsuits, disputes with third parties or regulatory proceedings that would have
any material affect on our business.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS
History
We were organized as a Nevada corporation on November 30, 2006 to engage in
the business of developing and eventually marketing specialized software to be
used in the financial and brokerage industry.
Two of our founding directors, Damon Deru and Andrew Limpert, currently
work for Belsen Getty, LLC, a registered investment advisory firm. In 2003,
Belsen Getty was looking for a portfolio rebalancing solution to help with their
trading needs. It typically would take the firm months to rebalance their nearly
1,000 accounts using Excel spreadsheets and manually entering trades. Belsen
Getty began to look for a more efficient method, however the available software
products on the market were too expensive or didn't have the necessary
flexibility to accomplish the firm's goals.
Mr. Deru, together with his father-in-law, Tom Evans, a database
programmer, began working on a rebalancing program. After three years of
research and experimentation, they were able to develop an acceptable program.
Belsen Getty initially intended to only use the program internally, but as Mr.
Deru discussed trading solutions with other advisors it became apparent to him
that a need existed for a trading and rebalancing tool.
In November 2006, Mr. Deru, together with our two other initial directors,
Andrew Limpert and Michael Christensen, organized Nine Mile Software, Inc. to
raise necessary funds to complete development and market the software that was
TradePro.
TradePro Rebalancing Program
The TradePro software is a portfolio rebalancing and trade generation
program created for financial and investment advisory firms. It is designed to
help advisors quickly and efficiently trade a large number of client accounts to
a "model portfolio". Generally an investment advisor will create a model
portfolio of stocks, bonds & mutual funds depending on the client's risk
tolerance. Over time, however, the client's portfolio becomes out of balance in
relation to the model portfolio as the market fluctuates and advisors change
their desired allocations. For example, if the stock market has a good year and
advances 15% while the bond market drops 5%, the client's portfolio may be
over-weighted in stocks and under-weighted in bonds. It becomes incumbent upon
the advisor to generate trades to bring the accounts back in balance with the
model portfolio.
Below is a simple illustration of what is necessary to rebalance a client's
portfolio to the desired model portfolio:
Client's Portfolio Model Portfolio Trades Required
------------------ --------------- ---------------
25% A Fund 30% A Fund Buy 5% A Fund
50% B Fund 40% B Fund Sell 10% B Fund
25% C Fund 30% C Fund Buy 5% C Fund
Our TradePro software helps facilitate this rebalancing process by
downloading all of an advisor's account positions into the program. The program
then compares what is currently held in the account against the model portfolio
and generates the necessary trade file to be uploaded back to the custodian
where the trades will be executed. We estimate that manually rebalancing a
client's portfolio takes 15 to 20 minutes per client. However, we believe that
TradePro cuts this time down to two or three minutes per client on average. The
program also reduces human error because it runs all the calculations and
generates a trade file, thereby reducing human error from manually entering
trades to the custodian.
Program Features & Benefits
Although the above example gives the appearance of a simple process, in
reality there are many variables and complexities. To address these issues,
TradePro offers certain features that advisors need in such a program.
-15-
Client Level Trading
--------------------
The TradePro program trades accounts on a client level. Typically a client
will have multiple accounts with an advisor. TradePro will apply the model
portfolio across all of a client's accounts versus applying the model portfolio
to each individual account. Thus, generally a client will only have a certain
fund in one account versus the same fund in all accounts. This can generate tax
efficiency and possibly lower trading costs. The program also facilitates tax
sensitive trading. For instance, most advisors like to place income generating
funds, or funds with high capital gains in tax-deferred accounts such as IRAs.
This could reduce a client's tax bill and helps the advisor add value to the
client. Some competitive programs on the market trade only on an account level.
This means that an advisor using an account based program holds the same funds
in all accounts, when some funds are better suited for a taxable or tax-deferred
account. The TradePro program meets the needs of advisors by trading on a client
level.
Taxable vs. Tax-deferred Accounts
---------------------------------
TradePro's ability to facilitate client level trading allows advisors to
place some funds in taxable accounts and some funds in tax-deferred accounts,
which we believe is good financial planning. TradePro facilitates this need by
allowing the advisor to "rank" the funds being used in their model portfolio by
order of their perceived tax efficiency. This flexibility allows the advisor to
use the most advantageous ranking system. This also allows the advisor to place
their highest ranked funds in a client's tax-deferred accounts and his lowest
ranked funds in the taxable accounts. This feature is completely customizable by
the advisor.
Closed Funds
------------
Some firms have funds in their portfolios that are closed to new investors.
This poses a trading problem because the advisor may want to keep their existing
clients in the closed fund, but need to invest their new clients in an alternate
fund. TradePro facilitates this by allowing the advisor to keep closed funds for
existing clients and automatically uses an alternate open fund for new clients.
"Do Not Trade" Securities
-------------------------
Some firms and clients have certain securities that they do not want to
sell, yet do not fit into an advisors model portfolio. TradePro solves this
problem by creating "do not trade" restrictions. The restriction can be set on a
firm-wide level that will restrict selling that security for all of an advisor's
accounts. The restriction can also be set on the client level that will restrict
selling that security for that particular client. When rebalancing accounts,
TradePro will automatically pull these do not trade securities and allocate the
remaining funds in a client's account. This allows for seamless trading without
the need for the advisor to continually make manual adjustments. It also could
help reduce trading errors from an advisor accidentally selling a security that
was not supposed to be sold.
Business Strategy
Once we begin marketing the TradePro, we plan to expand the software to
incorporate more database functionality. We believe that the most complete
investment advisory software is a single database for all common financial
service client management applications. Currently, a typical advisory firm will
have a minimum of two to three database programs. This can become tedious
because each firm has to enter the same client data multiple times.
CRM Capability
--------------
Most investment advisory firms have a client relationship management (CRM)
database. This database is used to store general client information such as
names, mailing and e-mail addresses and account numbers. It is also used to keep
track of client contacts, such as letters sent, e-mails, and phone calls, client
financial planning information, and prospects and business contacts.
We do not plan to use offering proceeds to develop a CRM product, but we
expect to develop and market the product when we realize sufficient cash flows
from TradePro sales. We believe that adding CRM capability to TradePro is a
potential area of expansion for our business because:
-16-
o Advisors generally look to reduce the number of databases. Under
current conditions, adding TradePro to their business will increase the
number of databases they need to maintain. Elimination of this hurdle
will be a top development priority as we plan to combine the two
databases into one program.
o Adding CRM is the next natural step for the program, although it will
take some time to develop correctly.
o It will help insulate us from competition. TradePro's current function
is rebalancing and trade generation. We believe that development of
more robust product features will distinguish the TradePro from
competitors. Adding CRM capability to the program will further build
tasks the program can accomplish.
o Many advisors may be reluctant to switch CRM database systems because
of the large time commitment required to do such. However, the benefit
of combining database functionality should help overcome this hurdle.
Currently the CRM market is somewhat crowded with three or four main
competitors. These competitors include, but are not limited to, Junxure-I,
Protracker, ACT! for Advisors, Upswing, and Outlook. When developing the CRM
portion TradePro, our research on features will come from both internal
experience and recommendations from external advisory firms. Many CRM programs
are becoming increasingly complex to operate, taking weeks of training to use
the system. We intend to keep our software as simple and intuitive as possible.
We anticipate marketing our software by emphasizing its trading capability, the
ease of use and low price.
Billing Capability
------------------
Currently there are many options for billing clients in the investment
advisory market. Most major CRM & Portfolio Reporting programs come bundled with
billing software incorporated into it. We envision bundling the billing program
with the CRM program when it is released. This is necessary to achieve our
single database vision. The billing program is already under development
internally. Though there are many billing options available to advisors, we plan
to add features such as commission payouts, customizable advisor payouts, and
non-sufficient funds tracking on client accounts. To our knowledge these
features do not exist in the marketplace.
Web-Based Capability
--------------------
We believe that there is a growing trend within the software industry to
move to a web-based model. The major advantage to this trend is the flexibility
of having the client database accessible by the web. Advisors can access their
data wherever they may be as long as they have an Internet connection. This is
useful for advisors that travel, work from home, or visit clients off location.
The second reason is security of the data. It's generally recognized that client
data is more secure on an outside server than it is on an in-house server. Most
software firms have the financial means and the knowledge to secure the data
with multiple levels of security and offsite backups, whereas most small
advisory firms do not. Because of these two reasons, there is growing interest
in the industry to move to a web-based model. In order for us to remain
competitive, we will have to add web-based capability. However, some advisors
remain skeptical of letting somebody else house their data and refuse to switch
to a web-based system. Accordingly, we believe that it is important to offer
both an in-house desktop version and a web-based version so that we can satisfy
both markets.
Portfolio Reporting Capability
------------------------------
Portfolio reporting for most advisory firms includes, but is not limited
to, performance reporting, tax reporting and transaction history reports. Firms
must account for and report every transaction for every client. Additionally,
many advisory firms have data going back ten years or more. This results in a
very complex database and requires considerable programming and industry
knowledge. Reporting must be not only accurate, but it also must be SEC
compliant. To achieve our single database vision we plan to add portfolio
reporting to TradePro either through internal development or possibly acquiring
-17-
another firm in the marketplace. Current competitors in this space include, but
is not limited to, Advent Axys, FSCI dbCams, Cornerstone Poweradvisor, Schwab
PortfolioCenter, and Black Diamond.
Marketing
To date we have not undertaken any marketing activities, but we intend to
commence marketing TradePro as soon as we finalize development and realize
necessary funds from this offering.
Our target market will be the investment advisory market that includes
RIAs, brokers and other financial consultants. We intend to generate leads from
known advisory lists and registrars, ads in trade publications, trade shows and
website presence at www.ninemilesoftware.com. Our initial marketing strategy is
designed around scheduling a demonstration of our software to the principal
decision makers in a firm. The emphasis of the marketing will focus on the value
and time savings of TradePro. We will also stress the flexibility of the program
and the hands on service approach. Initial marketing efforts will concentrate on
the advisory market in the U.S. because it is the largest advisory market in the
world and because of our familiarity of the marketplace. After establishing a
position in the U.S. market and as necessary funds are available, we will
explore the possibility of expanding into Canada, Europe, and elsewhere.
Direct Mail/Phone Campaign
--------------------------
Our initial marketing campaign will begin with a direct mail and phone
campaign, which we believe is the most targeted and cost effective approach. We
plan to mail a cover letter and a professionally prepared marketing brochure to
the key decision makers in a firm and then follow up with phone calls whenever
possible. The goal of this process is to invite qualified buyers to sit through
a demonstration of our software. We believe this will give us the best
opportunity to contact decision makers.
Ads in Trade Publications

We also intend to run ads in industry specific trade publications such as
Investment News, Financial Planner, Benefits Selling, Investment Advisor and
Wealth Manager. Initially, we will conduct a short initial test campaign of one
to three months. We plan to initially run smaller and less expensive ads, but
will experiment with different sizes, colors, language and layouts during the
initial run. If the results are not encouraging from these tests, we will
reconsider this approach before investing more marketing resources.
Trade Shows
-----------
We also plan on attending the various trade shows that are usually hosted
by large, national brokerage firms, trade publications and professional
associations. We believe that these shows offer an effective way to meet
face-to-face with investment advisors. The typical cost to participate in these
shows ranges from $5,000 to $20,000 per show. We would also encounter various
additional costs relating to the shows such as marketing materials, travel,
hotels and meals. We anticipate that initially, we will attend trade shows
sparingly due to the cost, but will evaluate the effectiveness after each show.
Internal Sales Force
--------------------
We do not intend to outsource sales, but rather develop an internal sales
force. We believe that an in- house sales force is advantageous because of the
familiarity with the software, knowledge of financial terms and the needs of
investment advisors. We intend to begin to build a sales team as soon as funds
become available from this offering. We will compensate salespersons with a base
salary and incentive compensation commissions. Sales personnel will also be
required to help with service issues, if needed.
Distribution and Payment
The program will be hosted on our website only and physical discs will not
be produced. This will keep costs down because there will be no cost for disc
production and delivery. Everybody who uses the program will have Internet
-18-
access since the program is a tool to generate trade files for online trading.
When a client purchases the program, they will be given a code to download the
program from the website. If they ever needed additional copies, they could
easily go to the website and download the program again. Online purchases will
also be facilitated on the website using a credit card service. We will use a
credit card service company such as Propay, Inc. so we will not house any
critical client data that could become a liability. We will also accept checks
for firms who wish to use this option.
Pricing
We believe that the price of the TradePro software will be one of its main
selling points. We initially plan to offer the software for $3,000 per year,
with a one time conversion and training fee between $1,000 to $3,000, depending
on the amount of data to be converted and number of people to be trained. We
anticipate that the price will compete favorably with our main competitors such
as "iRebal", which currently charges $50,000 per year with a $10,000 setup fee,
and "Tamarac" that charges a minimum $10,000 per year with a $2,000 setup fee.
We expect that the payback time for customers using our software will be
relatively short. We project that it currently takes an advisor 18 minutes to
rebalance a client using existing means, and that TradePro will take
approximately three minutes per client. That equals a time savings of 15 minutes
per client. Assuming the average advisor's time is worth $100 per hour, an
advisor would achieve payback after rebalancing only 100 clients. If the advisor
has more clients and rebalances more than once a year, then additional savings
would be achieved. We also feel that reduced trading errors and the ability to
trade quickly versus taking weeks and months to complete the trading cycle will
equate to additional savings for users.
Competition
Rebalancing software is a relatively new industry and, accordingly, there
is limited competition. We believe that our TradePro software is competitive
with other software on the market because of comparable functionality at a lower
price. The three primary competitors to TradePro are iRebal, Tamarac Advisor and
eAllocator.
iRebal
------
iRebal has a strong software suite, but we believe its price is prohibitive
for most advisory firms. iRebal targets advisory firms that have over $250
million in assets under management. The iRebal software program was purchased by
TD Ameritrade in January 2007. We anticipate that they plan to stay in the same
price range, but maybe offer a slight discount to TD Ameritrade advisors. Their
program rebalances across accounts at the client level and is designed to help
manage cash flows into and out of the portfolio. iRebal also offers tax lot
trading that is not currently available with TradePro. iRebal's program is
customized to each firm and involves an extensive set-up phase which generally
takes six months. The principal drawback to the iRebal is that it costs $50,000
with a $10,000 initial setup fee. Accordingly, we believe the TradePro can
successfully compete with iRebal because we can market to small and mid-size
firms that cannot afford iRebal.
Tamarac Advisor
---------------
Tamarac Advisor uses optimization software to decide the trades versus a
rules-based system used by both TradePro and iRebal. Optimization software picks
securities to trade automatically depending on some preset parameters defined by
the advisor. Optimization software is not transparent in its decision making,
meaning that an advisor cannot go back in and see why the software decided on a
particular trade or easily change the trades that the program is recommending.
Rules based software trades on preset rules and securities models defined by the
advisor. Rules based software is completely transparent, meaning that an advisor
can easily see why a particular trade was made and can manually override any
transactions in the software. Tamarac is not a transparent based system, meaning
advisors don't have total control over what trades are generated. Tamarac's
product, a web-based model, is priced at $10,000 minimum with a $2,000 setup fee
and will cover up to 1,000 accounts, with additional fees over that. We believe
TradePro will be competitive with Tamarac on price. We also believe more
advisors prefer the rules-based trading approach versus the optimization
approach that Tamarac uses.
-19-
eAllocator
----------
eAllocator is the newest program in the rebalancing software market. From
our review of the software, we believe the eAllocator is limited in scope at its
current stage primarily because it trades only on an account level and not a
client level. It is also a web based program, which can be viewed as a positive
or negative. They are also a rules based system similar to iRebal and TradePro.
They do have cost basis information on the trades, which is a positive. Being a
new program, eAllocator is only compatible with two portfolio reporting systems
(dbCams and Portfolio Center). eAllocator charges $5,000 per year with a $1,000
set-up fee. eAllocator is our closest competitor it terms of cost, but we
believe we are competitive because of more advanced features as well as a cost
advantage.
Free Custodian Software
-----------------------
Some custodians, such as TD Ameritrade and Fidelity, have developed their
own rebalancing and trading software. Our management has performed tests on
these systems and found them to only have account level and not client level
trading. These systems cannot handle all asset classes such as individual fixed
income. They also do not have rules-based logic, such as "do not trade"
securities, and do not have cost basis information. The primary strength of
these systems is that they are free. We do not believe these custodian developed
programs to be competitive with TradePro because they lack the variety of
capabilities and functions of TradePro.
Intellectual Property
We have retained the law firm Kunzler & Associates in Salt Lake City, Utah
to help us protect our intellectual property. We have obtained copyright
protection on TradePro and plan to continue to update our copyright protection
as we make changes and enhancements to the program. We also plan to trademark
our company and product names along with any logos associated with those names,
if we are able to raise the necessary funds from this offering.
Kunzler & Associates are currently conducting a patent search to help
determine the patentability of TradePro. We will assess the possibility of
seeking patent protection when their search is completed. We have budgeted for
the possibility of seeking patent protection if our board of directors
determines it is feasible and worth the time, effort and cost, however there is
no guarantee that we can actually obtain a patent. We will continue to pursue
additional protections for our intellectual property as we develop new software
and related products and enhance existing products.
Employees
We currently do not have any employees associated with Nine Mile Software,
Inc. other than the directors Damon Deru (CEO), Andrew Limpert (Chairman of the
Board), and Michael Christensen (Secretary). If we are able to close on this
offering, Damon Deru will become a full time employee of the company.
We have also contracted with Dan Agnew of AppVision Consulting in Las
Vegas, Nevada to further develop TradePro to the point of marketability. He will
convert TradePro from Microsoft Access program to a Microsoft .NET platform
database. We will also work with him to add additional features to TradePro such
as cost basis information and one-click rebalancing to quickly rebalance all
clients in the database.
Mr. Agnew has extensive industry experience having worked for Investment
Advisory Network, where he helped write in-house rebalancing and trading
software for them. He was also a developer at Techfi, Inc. which is a portfolio
reporting company that was bought out by Advent, Inc in 2002. He has since
started his own company, AppVision Consulting, doing ad-hoc programming jobs for
investment advisors. He also works for an insurance company in Las Vegas where
he develops software programs for internal use. Mr. Agnew is proficient in
Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Microsoft ASP, Microsoft ASP.Net and the Microsoft
SQL Server family of products.
If this offering is successful, we plan to add a technical support employee
prior to the launch of TradePro. This employee would primarily be responsible
-20-
for handling incoming tech support calls and setting up new clients on TradePro.
We also plan to add a salesperson to help market TradePro and to add additional
sales and support staff as business warrants and funds are available.
Employee Stock Option Plan
In March 2007, our board of directors approved the creation of an employee
stock option plan and authorized 650,000 shares of our common stock to be
reserved for issuance under the plan. The board of directors will finalize and
oversee drafting of the formal plan and establish, at its discretion, the terms
and conditions of the awards to be made under the plan. We have not issued any
options as of the date of this prospectus.
Facilities
Initially we plan to rent office space from Belsen Getty, LLC located at
1245 E. Brickyard Rd #590, Salt Lake City, UT 84106. This arrangement will save
us expenses because we rent the space at a reasonable rate. Also, we do not have
to buy expensive office equipment such as furniture, printers and copiers as are
able to use Belsen Getty's equipment, which is included in the rent. If we are
successful in marketing TradePro and need to expand our facilities, we will
evaluate at that point other office space. In this event, we would most likely
experience a greater cost of doing business due to higher rent cost and
purchasing and/or leasing office equipment.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion of our financial condition and plan of operation
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation
Since our inception in November 2006, we have primarily engaged in the
development of our TradePro software in anticipation of introducing it to the
investment advisory market during the latter part of 2007. Our plan of operation
for the next 12 months is to first complete commercialization of the TradePro
software. We have engaged Dan Agnew as an independent contractor to rewrite the
program in a more robust programming language and work directly with Mr. Deru to
map out and optimize the logic flows of the program. Management anticipates this
will take between three and nine months to complete. During this development
period, a beta group of 15 to 30 RIA users that we have previously identified
will be using the program and providing real industry feedback. This is
essential to gain perspective and insight into the industry needs in a real time
feedback loop in order to adjust the program to real life needs of end users.
After a successful beta iteration period, we will prepare to launch the
TradePro product commercially. The goal of management is to launch no later than
fourth quarter of 2007. We believe that if the maximum amount of this offering
is realized, we will not need additional funding for approximately 18 months. If
the minimum amount is raised, we may need to shift some of the funds into
marketing and other operational expenses. We anticipate that if only the minimum
offering amount is realized, we will have adequate funds for a period of 12
months, using a lesser amount for personnel and marketing than if the maximum is
raised.
Beyond development of the TradePro, we do not plan to use offering proceeds
for the potential CRM product. We anticipate developing the CRM product if and
when sufficient cash flows are realized from sales of the original TradePro
product.
We do not expect to make major capital expenditure for completing
development and marketing TradePro. We do anticipate an increase in employees if
and when TradePro is completed and marketed successfully. Mr. Deru will be our
lone full time employee upon closing of the offering. Mr. Agnew will be a part
time contract employee through the reprogramming phase of the development. In
preparing to commence marketing TradePro, management will assess the potential
demand for up to two customer service personnel to assist in responding to new
customers' questions, orientation and installation of programs. This decision
will be partially based on whether the offering is closed at the maximum or
-21-
nearer to the minimum level. In either scenario, management believes we could be
generating revenue within the first 12 month of operation from conclusion of the
offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the period from inception through March 31, 2007, we incurred a net
loss of $9,788. At March 31, 2007, we had total assets of $37,762 and
stockholders' equity of $35,762, compared to total assets of $44,548 and total
stockholders' equity of $44,548 at December 31, 2006. The decrease in total
assets and stockholders' equity at March 31, 2007 is attributed to professional
and other expenses associated with startup costs and preparing for this
offering.
At December 31, 2006 we had working capital of $44,548 compared to $34,632
at March 31, 2007. We anticipate meeting our working capital needs during the
2007 fiscal year with the proceeds from this offering. We have no other
agreements or arrangements for additional funding and there can be no assurance
any such funding will be available to us, or if available, such funding will be
on acceptable or favorable terms to us.
Going Concern Consideration
Because we are a new company with limited assets and capital and no current
revenues, we are relying on the proceeds of this offering to launch our software
product. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues
could result in having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if we
do raise sufficient capital to support our operating expenses and generate
adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be
sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where it will generate
profits and cash flows from operations. If we are not successful in realizing at
least the minimum offering amount and, in such event, are unable to secure
adequate alternative financing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange price is the
price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or
transfer a liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair
value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. It
also establishes a fair value hierarchy used in fair value measurements and
expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair
value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected
to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or
liquidity.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"),
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109," which prescribes comprehensive guidelines for recognizing,
measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions
taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. FIN 48, effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006, seeks to reduce the diversity in practice
associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to
accounting for income taxes. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on
our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."
This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It permits
for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in
-22-
fair value reflected in earnings, or the amortization and impairment
requirements of Statement No. 140. Subsequent measurement of separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value, eliminates
the necessity for entities that manage risks inherent in servicing assets and
servicing liabilities with derivatives, to qualify for hedge accounting
treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as
impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's
first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported
financial position or results of operations.

Until such time as formal committees are established, our board of directors
will perform some of the functions associated with a nominating committee and a
compensation committee, including reviewing all forms of compensation provided
to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees, including stock
compensation. The board will also perform the functions of an audit committee
until we establish a formal audit committee.
Relationships and Related Party Transactions

receive a monthly allowance to be determined by the board of directors. There
are no plans for the other directors to receive a salary at this time. However,
we may issue options under an employee stock option plan as incentives to
achieve certain performance thresholds.
-24-
Stock Purchase Options
On May 1, 2007, we sold and issued a total of 610,000 stock purchase
options exercisable for the purchase of our common stock at $0.025 per share.
The options were issued to the following persons and for the number of shares
indicted next to each persons name.
Damon Deru -- 400,000 shares
Michael Christensen -- 100,000 shares
Thomas Henderson -- 10,000 shares
Tom Evans -- 100,000 shares
Messrs. Deru and Christensen are directors and executive officers. Messrs.
Henderson and Evans are expected to become employees following the completion of
this offering.
The options are not exercisable for a period of one year and are subject to
a vesting schedule. Fifty percent of the options will vest when we first realize
a quarterly profit from operations or when we have sold an aggregate of 80
TradePro programs. The balance of the options will vest when we first record
$1.0 million in total revenues. The options will expire if not exercised within
60 months of issuance, on May 1, 2013.
STOCK OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial
ownership of our shares of common stock by
o each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of
our outstanding shares of common stock;
o each of our directors;
o our executive officers; and
o by all directors and executive officers as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. In
computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage
ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants
held by that person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable
within 60 days after the date of this prospectus, are deemed outstanding, but
those shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage
ownership of any other person. The number and percentage of shares beneficially
owned are based on 1,822,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31,
2007. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with
respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by that person, subject to
community property laws, where applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Our Common Stock
Authorized and Outstanding
--------------------------
We are authorized to issue up to 50 million shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share, of which 1,822,000 shares are outstanding as of the date
of this prospectus.
Voting Rights
-------------
Holders of our common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share
of stock in their name on the books of our company, whether represented in
person or by proxy, on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common
stock, including election of directors. There is no right to cumulative voting
in election of directors. Except where a greater requirement is provided by
statute, by our articles of incorporation or by-laws, the presence, in person or
by proxy duly authorized, of one or more holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of our common stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction
of business. The vote by the holders of a majority of outstanding shares is
required to effect certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation,
merger, or amendment of our articles of incorporation.
Dividends
---------
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or by-laws that
prevent us from declaring dividends. We have not declared any dividends and we
do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Preemptive Rights
-----------------
Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and no
redemption or sinking fund provisions are applicable to our common stock. All
outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares of common stock sold
in the offering will when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable.
Options
-------
We presently have outstanding stock purchase options to acquire an
aggregate of 610,000 shares of our common stock. The options are held by four
individuals and have an exercise price of $0.025 per share, but are not
exercisable until May 1, 2008. The term of the options is 60 months, but they
are subject to a vesting schedule based on future sales and revenues.
Our board of directors has also authorized an employee stock option plan
and reserved 650,000 shares of our common stock to for issuance under the plan.
The board will draft the definitive plan and will establish the terms and
conditions of awards to be made under the plan. No options under the plan have
been issued.
Transfer Agent
--------------
We have retained as our transfer agent Cottonwood Stock Transfer, 5899
South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84107, telephone (801) 266-7151.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
If we sell the maximum number of offered shares, we will have outstanding
an aggregate of 2,536,290 shares of common stock. The 714,290 shares to be
issued in the offering will be freely transferable without restriction under the
Securities Act, excluding any shares purchased by a person who is or thereby
-26-
becomes an affiliate of Nine Mile Software. All 1,822,000 shares outstanding
immediately prior to the offering were issued in private transactions without
registration under the Securities Act and are deemed "restricted securities" as
defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Under Rule 144, a person or persons whose shares are aggregated, who has
satisfied a one-year holding period may sell within any three-month period, that
number of restricted shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then
outstanding common shares, or the average weekly trading volume during the four
calendar weeks prior to such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to
certain requirements as to the manner of sale, notice and the availability of
current public information about us. Rule 144 permits, under certain
circumstances, the sale of restricted shares by a person who is not an affiliate
and has satisfied a two-year holding period, without regard to the volume or
other resale limitations.
We are unable to predict the effect that sales under Rule 144 may have on
the then prevailing market price of the common stock, if a market for our shares
develops, but such sales may have a substantial depressing effect on such market
price.
All of our officers, directors and 5% or more stockholders hold restricted
shares. However, commencing in November 30, 2007 all of these shares will be one
year old and will be eligible for sale under Rule 144, subject to all the
provisions of that Rule. At that time, and assuming the maximum shares offered
by this prospectus are sold, each of these individuals will be eligible to sell
into the market up to 25,362 shares during any three-month period.
DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
Our bylaws provide that directors, officers and any person who acted at our
request as an officer or director, will be indemnified by us to the fullest
extent authorized by the general corporate laws of Nevada, against all expenses
and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with services for us or on our
behalf if:
o Such person acted in good faith with a view to our best interests; and
o In the case of a monetary penalty in connection with a criminal or
administrative action or proceeding, such person had reasonable grounds to
believe that his or her conduct was lawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
might be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company
under the provisions described above, we have been informed that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
CERTAIN MARKET INFORMATION AND MARKET RISKS
There is not presently, nor has there ever been, a public trading market
for our common stock. We expect to request a broker-dealer to make an
application to the NASD to have our shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The
application will consist of current corporate information, financial statements
and other documents as required by Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
Inclusion on the OTC Bulletin Board permits price quotations for our shares
to be published by that service. Although we intend to apply to the OTC Bulletin
Board subsequent to the filing of our registration statement, we do not
anticipate our shares to immediately be traded in the public market. Also,
secondary trading of our shares may be subject to certain state imposed
restrictions. Except for the application to the OTC Bulletin Board, there are no
plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person concerning the
development of a trading market in any of our securities. There can be no
assurance that our shares will be accepted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board
or any other recognized trading market.
Without an active public trading market, you may not be able to liquidate
the shares you purchase in this offering. If a market does develop, the price
for our securities may be highly volatile and may bear no relationship to our
actual financial condition or results of operations. Factors discussed in this
prospectus, including the many risks associated with an investment in our
securities, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common
stock.
-27-
The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a
particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state.
A number of states require that an issuer's securities be registered in their
state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are
permitted to trade in that state. Presently, we have no plans to register our
securities in any particular state.
It is unlikely that our securities will be listed on any national or
regional exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market. Therefore our shares most likely
will be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the
Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets
forth certain requirements for broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks and
Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule
3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has
a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule
3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock
unless that security is:
o registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified
criteria set by the SEC;
o authorized for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market;
o issued by a registered investment company;
o excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per
share) or the issuer's net tangible assets; or
o exempted from the definition by the SEC.
Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors are subject to additional sales practice
requirements. An accredited investor is generally defined as a person with
assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000
together with their spouse.
For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must receive
the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure
document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose
the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly
statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price information for the
penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny
stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to
trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of
stockholders to sell their shares.
These requirements may be considered cumbersome by broker-dealers and could
impact the willingness of a particular broker-dealer to make a market in our
shares, or they could affect the value at which our shares trade. Classification
of the shares as penny stocks increases the risk of an investment in our shares.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid cash dividends or made distributions in the
past and do not anticipate paying cash dividends or making distributions in the
foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain and invest future earnings to
finance operations.
LEGAL MATTERS
Leonard E. Neilson, Attorney at Law, 8160 South Highland Drive, Suite 104,
Sandy, Utah 84093, telephone (801) 733-0800, has acted as our legal counsel.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Nine Mile Software, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Nine Mile Software, Inc. as of
December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows from inception on November 30 , 2006 through December 31,
2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Nine Mile Software, Inc. of
December 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows from
inception on November 30, 2006 through December 31, 2006, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet established an
ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are also described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Nature of Business
------------------
Nine Mile Software, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State
of Nevada on November 30, 2006. The Company is engaged in the business
of developing and marketing specialized software for brokerage.
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 at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic (Loss) per Common Share
-----------------------------
Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net
loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number
of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common
shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of
shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for
any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common
stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2006 and March 31,
2007.

Dividends
---------
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.
No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.
Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Company has no component of other comprehensive income.
Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income for the periods
ended March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Advertising Costs
-----------------
The Company's policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising
when incurred. The Company had advertising expense of $1,250
(unaudited) and $-0- as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held
for investment purposes.
Income Taxes
------------
The Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No.
109 Requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting
for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these
differences are expected to reverse. The Company's predecessor
operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes.
SFAS No. 109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a
valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it
is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be
provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to net loss
before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:
March 31, December 31,

Income tax expense at statutory rate $ 3,427 $ 391

NOL Carryover $ 3,818 $ 391

----------- -----------
Net deferred tax asset $ 0 $ 0
=========== ===========
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of
1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax
reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change
in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as
to use in future years.

------------------------------------------------------
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances
that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be
recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present,
the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by
determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be
recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the
total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of
those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the
excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Accounting Basis
----------------
The basis is accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The Company has adopted an December 31 fiscal year
end.
Stock-based compensation.
-------------------------
As of March 31, 2007, the Company has not issued any share-based
payments to its employees.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R effective January 1, 2006 using the
modified prospective method. Under this transition method, stock
compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based
compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123-R.
Copyright costs
---------------
The Company has capitalized the costs of obtaining its copyrights. The
Company will amortize the copyright costs over the estimated life of
10 years upon commencement of sales. The Company expects to begin
sales in 2007.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements" which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Where
applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance
within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. Earlier adoption is encouraged. The Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a significant effect on
its financial position or results of operation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continue)
-------------------------------------------
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not
expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its
financial reporting, and the Company is currently evaluating the
impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its disclosure
requirements.
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for
Servicing of Financial Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No.
140." This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset
or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to
service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in any
of the following situations: a transfer of the servicer's financial
assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting; a transfer of
the servicer's financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose entity
in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor
retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either
available-for-sale securities or trading securities; or an acquisition
or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does
not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated
affiliates. The statement also requires all separately recognized
servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at
fair value, if practicable, and permits an entity to choose either the
amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurement of each
class of servicing assets and liabilities. The statement further
permits, at its initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of
available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with
recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the
treatment of other available for sale securities under Statement 115,
provided that the available for sale securities are identified in some
manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of
servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to
subsequently measure at fair value and requires separate presentation
of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at
fair value in the statement of financial position and additional
disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as
of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. Management believes the
adoption of this statement will have no immediate impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB
104"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and
disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB
104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue
and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition
policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to
monthly contracted amounts for services provided when (i) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists,(ii)delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable,
and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Unaudited Financial Statements
------------------------------
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the
Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
March 31, 2007 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed
or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's December 31, 2006 audited financial
statements. The results of operations for the period ended March 31,
2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the
full year.
2. COMMON STOCK
------------
On November 30, 2006, the Company received $9,000 from its founders
for 360,000 shares of its common stock. On December 8, 2008, the
Company completed an unregistered private offering under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relying upon the exemption from
registration afforded by Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated there
under. The Company sold 1,462,000 shares of its $0.001 par value
common stock at a price of $0.025 per share for $36,550 in cash.
3. GOING CONCERN
-------------
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company
has accumulated deficit of $9,788 (unaudited) as of March 31, 2007.
The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its
efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to
cover operating costs over an extended period of time.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the
near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating
expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able
to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of
management's efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be
successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially
viable and continue as a going concern.

Part II
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada
Revised Statutes (the "NRS") and our By-laws. Under the NRS, director immunity
from liability to a company or its stockholders for monetary liabilities applies
automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of
incorporation, which is not the case with our articles of incorporation.
Excepted from that immunity are:
(1) a willful failure to deal fairly with Nine Mile Software or its
stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a
material conflict of interest;
(2) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause
to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful;
(3) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
profit; and
(4) willful misconduct.
Our By-laws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any
director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or
was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director
or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly
following request. This advancement of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be
ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under
our bylaws or otherwise. The board of directors may authorize the corporation to
indemnify and advance expense to any officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation who is not a director to the extent permitted by law.
If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than payment
by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or
controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding,
is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in
connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion
of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
At the inception of our company in November 2007, we issued a total of
1,822,000 shares of our common stock to 13 persons for cash consideration of
$0.025 per share, or an aggregate of $45,550. The shares were issued in a
private transaction to persons familiar with our company and without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No form of
solicitation was used in the issuance of the shares. The shares are considered
restricted securities and certificates representing the shares must contain a
legend restricting further transfer unless the shares are first registered or
qualify for an exemption.
S-1
On May 1, 2007, we issued 610,000 stock purchase options that can be
exercised for the purchase of our common stock at $0.025 per share. The options
were sold to the following persons for the number of shares and consideration
indicted
Name Exercisable into # of Shares Consideration
---- ---------------------------- -------------
Damon Deru 400,000 shares $ 100
Michael Christensen 100,000 shares $ 25
Thomas Henderson 10,000 shares $ 10
Tom Evans 100,000 shares $ 25
The options are not exercisable for a period of one year and are subject to
a vesting schedule. Fifty percent of the options will vest when we first realize
a quarterly profit from operations or when we have sold an aggregate of 80
TradePro programs. The balance of the options will vest when we first record
$1.0 million in total revenues. The options will expire if not exercised within
60 months of issuance, on May 1, 2013.
The options were issued in a private transaction to two directors, Messrs.
Deru and Christensen, and to Messrs. Henderson and Evans who are expected to
become employees following the completion of this offering. The transaction is
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The
options are considered restricted securities and the underlying shares, if and
when issued, will also be restricted securities.

Item 28. Undertakings
We hereby undertake:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any additional or changed material information on 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 therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time 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.
S-2
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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, we 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
