PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Concrete Leveling Services, Inc. "CLS" was incorporated on August 28, 2007
in the State of Nevada. The Company's principal offices are located at 5046 East
Boulevard Northwest, Canton, Ohio 44718. In Ohio, the Company does business
under the trade name of CLS Fabricating, Inc. Its telephone number is (330)
966-8120. CLS has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership,
and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since
becoming incorporated, CLS has made no significant purchases that would create a
future liability for the company. It has not sold any assets nor has it been
involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations.
CLS is an operating company that fabricates and markets a concrete leveling
service unit utilized in the concrete leveling industry. This unit secures to
the back of a truck and consists of a mixing device to mix lime with water and a
pumping device capable of pumping the mixture under pressure into pre-drilled
holes in order to raise the level of any flat concrete surface.
There are other concrete leveling service units of a similar nature,
currently being manufactured in the United States. Although CLS believes that
the design changes it has made to the units create a superior unit and,
therefore, competitive in the market, CLS recognizes that there is a limited
market for these units and there are existing manufacturers in the market that
have more experience in the marketing of these units. CLS management has,
however, been directly involved in the concrete leveling business for the past
10 years and, therefore, has direct knowledge as to the operations of the
concrete leveling service unit, as well as the variety of applications to which
is can be used.
Effective July 31, 2009, the Company entered into a Marketing Agreement
with Stark Concrete Leveling, Inc. to become the exclusive distributor for the
CLS service unit. Stark Concrete Leveling, Inc. ("Stark") is owned and operated
by Mr. Edward A. Barth. Mr. Barth was recently elected President of CLS. Under
the terms of the Marketing Agreement, Stark will receive a commission equal to
30% of the sales price of any unit sold. Stark is responsible for all costs of
marketing, advertising, and the training of buyer's agent in the use of the
units. Stark intends to continue to market the service unit through newspaper
advertising, concentrating on markets where the need for concrete leveling
services is very high, but at present, there is very limited competition for
such services. Stark has also promoted the service units through direct mailing
in limited areas within the state of Washington, which the Company believes has
a large potential for concrete leveling services.
The majority of the components of the concrete leveling service units are
readily available from several manufacturers, as stock items. The Company has
negotiated with the manufacturers of key components to be classified as an OEM
manufacturer, thus receiving a reduced cost for its components. Certain items
require custom fabrication. The Company has identified a metal fabricator who
can specially fabricate the components to the Company's specifications. The
Company recently contracted with the fabricator to manufacture an updated
complete unit including the material hopper. At present, the Company has
completed the fabrication of two new service units and the retro fitting of an
existing use service unit. All of these units have been sold. Competitive
fabricators are available within the Company's geographic area, should it become
necessary to seek another fabricator.
None of the components utilized in fabricating the concrete leveling units
are subject to patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or other royalty
agreements. In addition, there is no need for any governmental approval for the
manufacturer or sale of the concrete leveling service units. The Company is
unaware of any cost or effects resulting from required compliance with any
federal, state or local environmental laws.
CLS has two full time employees, Mrs. Suzanne I. Barth (the majority
shareholder, a director and the Company's CEO) and, effective September 22,
2010, Mr. Edward A. Barth, the Company's newly elected President. Mrs. Barth
3
receives a management fee of $2,500 per month, and Mr. Barth will receive a
management fee of $2,000 per month commencing September 22, 2010. All other
services required by the Corporation are performed by independent contractors
under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Barth.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company is currently leasing the commercial space from which it is
conducting its operations from Mr. Edward A. Barth. The Corporation is leasing
this space on a month-to-month basis. It is leasing approximately 2,500 square
feet of space for a monthly rental of $1,250, including utilities.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
MARKET INFORMATION ON COMMON STOCK. The Company's stock commenced trading
on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the trading symbol CLEV on
June 25, 2010. Since it commenced trading, the Company's common shares have sold
for a high of $1.10 per share and a low of $0.20 per share. There have been no
dividends issued by the Company. The volume of shares sold since trading began
has been very small. To the best of the Company's knowledge, all trades have
involved actual sales and not inter-broker transactions. As of the end of the
Company's fiscal year, there are approximately 29 holders of CLS's common
shares.
SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS. At
present, the Company has not set aside any securities for the purpose of
providing compensation to any of the Company's employees. Although no plan
exists, the Board of Directors have issued common shares to the Company's
officers in satisfaction of salary and rental obligations of the Company. All
such shares were issued at the share's fair market value on the date of
transfer. Details of the transactions appear below.
RECENT SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
During the Company's fiscal year, it issued a total of 200,000 shares
of its $0.001 par value common stock to Mrs. Suzanne I. Barth, in satisfaction
of the accrued fees owed by the Company to Mrs. Barth. 125,000 of the common
shares were issued at the rate of $0.12 per share on January 28, 2010 and 75,000
shares were issued at $0.20 per share on July 26, 2010. In addition, the Company
issued 93,750 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to Mr. Edward A. Barth
in satisfaction of rents accrued during the year. Mr. Barth received 62,500
shares effective January 28, 2010, valued at $0.12 per share. Mr. Barth received
an additional 31,250 shares on July 26, 2010 valued at $0.20 per share. All of
these shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
All of those shares are restricted securities.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
THE PURPOSE OF THIS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IS TO ENHANCE THE UNDERSTANDING
AND EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL POSITIONS, CASH FLOWS,
INDEBTEDNESS AND OTHER KEY FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF CLS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS
2010 AND 2009. FOR A MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS DISCUSSION PLEASE READ
THE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDING IN THIS REPORT.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company foresees a need for liquidity
over the next twelve months. The Company is of the opinion that funds being
received from installment sales of its service units will provide a certain
level of cash flow, however, in order to fabricate an improved 2011 model
service unit, the Company has found it necessary to borrow funds to purchase the
components.
Management believes that sufficient interest has been shown in the service
unit to justify fabrication of one service unit to place in inventory. It is the
Company's practice to require a fifty percent (50%) down payment on all purchase
orders, therefore, should additional units be ordered, the Company will receive
sufficient liquidity from the down payment to fabricate the service unit for the
customer. At present, Management does not anticipate the need for any
significant capital expenditures during the next 12 months. All fabrication for
the service units are performed by outside contractors. Final assembly will be
completed at the Company's facility by Company employees. However, these tasks
will not require additional capital expenditures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. CLS became an operating company during its last
fiscal year. It successfully sold service units during the last three quarters
of the fiscal year. The total sales for the two new concrete leveling service
units and a used servicing unit with a truck amounted to $115,661. The Company
received cash of $25,000 toward the sale of the first new servicing unit and
received $17,500 cash toward the sale of the second new servicing unit. It is
financing the balance of the purchase price through an Installment Promissory
Note, bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The used service unit was
sold through an Installment Promissory Note, bearing interest at the rate of 6%
per annum. Management is encouraged with the recent sale of these units and the
positive feedback that its customers have received in utilizing the units. In
addition to the prospect of additional sales within the region that it sold its
servicing units, management is also encouraged with the knowledge that it can
now produce the unit at a reduced cost, due to the fact that it has been
recognized as an OEM manufacturer by the manufacturer of the purchased
components thus enabling the Company to purchase these components at a reduced
rate. Since CLS had no sales prior to the current fiscal year, it is unable to
make any meaningful comparison as to results of operations between the two
years. CLS has received a very positive response to its product. Several
potential buyers have expressed an interest in purchasing a service unit.
However, tight credit markets have delayed several sales.
During the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009, management changed its
position with regard to the marketing and sales of the concrete leveling service
units. Instead of bearing the cost of marketing the units and the cost of
training the purchasers with regard to the operation of the units, management
has contracted with Stark Concrete Leveling, Inc. ("Stark") to become its
exclusive distributor. Stark is owned by Mr. Edward A. Barth, the Company's
newly elected President. It is through Mr. Barth's effort that both of the
companies' recent sales were secured. Under the terms of the Distribution
Agreement, Stark is responsible for the cost of all marketing and advertising of
the concrete leveling service units. In addition, it is responsible for the
onsite training for the purchasers in the operation of the service units. In
exchange for assuming these obligations and duties, Stark shall receive a
commission of 30% of the sales price of each unit.
Management is of the belief that the current slow down in the housing
market and increased costs of raw materials will create an expanding market for
concrete leveling services. The recent sales of the Company's concrete leveling
5
service unit has created a positive feedback from the purchasers. For the short
time that the servicing units have been in operation, the purchasers have
recognized the market for such services in their area and immediately commence
to receive revenues. The Company is of the belief that the successful sales and
potential referrals or additional purchases from its current purchasers will
expand the Company's sales into the first and second calendar quarter of 2011.
The Company currently plans to produce and sell up to six additional concrete
leveling servicing units during the next fiscal year.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS. There are no off balance sheet arrangements
involving the Company at this time.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
LETTERHEAD OF HOBE & LUCAS CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, INC.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc.
Canton, Ohio
We have audited the balance sheets of Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc. as of July
31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
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 Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc.
as of July 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming Concrete
Leveling Systems, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1
to the financial statements, the nature of the industry in which the Company
operates raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans regarding this matter are described in Note 1.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

July 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
GOING CONCERN
The Company was formed on August 28, 2007 and was in the development stage
through July 31, 2009. The year ended July 31, 2010 is the first year during
which it is considered an operating company. The Company has sustained
substantial operating losses since its inception. In addition, the Company has
used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. Further, at July
31, 2010, current liabilities exceed current assets by $69,996, and total
liabilities exceed total assets by $22,222. The Company is of the opinion that
funds being received from installment sales of its service units will provide a
certain level of cash flow. However, in order to fabricate an improved 2011
model service unit, the Company has found it necessary to borrow funds to
purchase the components. Success will be dependent upon management's ability to
obtain future financing and liquidity, and success of its future operations.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as
a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and liabilities approximates
the fair value reported on the balance sheet.
NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES

evaluation, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the

time period specified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to

allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
Management has the responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting for the Company. With respect to items
involved in financial reporting are within the personal knowledge of the
Company's management. Due to the centralization of all financial matters being
filtered through the Company's Officer and two Directors, the Company believes
that controls over financial reporting are effective, since all financial
matters involving the Company are personally known by the Company's Chief
Executive and regularly conveyed to the other Director.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. Management has not
identified any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
in connection with the evaluation that management of the Company, including the
Company's CEO/CFO, that is required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13(a) - 15 under
the Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the Company's last fiscal year.

reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's
registered public accounting firm.

time, Mrs. Suzanne I. Barth, resigned her position as President of the Company,
however retained her position as CEO. The Board of Directors elected Mr. Edward
A. Barth to serve as President of the Company, effective September 22, 2010. The
Directors voted a management fee to Mr. Barth in the amount of $2,000 per month.

securities purposes as a Shell Company. The Directors found that over the past
three quarters, the Company has produced sales in excess of $100,000 and has
changed from a company in its developmental stages to an operating company. Due
to the fact that the Company is recognizing sustained sales and revenues for the
sales have exceeded $100,000, the Directors now maintain that the Company should
no longer be classified as a Shell Company as defined in Rule
12B-2 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, the Directors have instructed the Officers

itself to be a Shell Company.
