Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our common stock.

We are offering up to a total of 3,000,000 units of our securities, each unit comprising one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant. The offering price is $0.05 per unit.

If we go out of business, investors will lose their entire investment. We may also receive up to $300,000 in gross proceeds from the exercise of share purchase warrants by the investors within two years of completion of this offering.

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

In connection with any sales of the common stock, any broker or dealer participating in such sales may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Our business is subject to many risks and an investment in our common stock will also involve a high degree of risk. You should invest in our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should carefully consider the various Risk Factors described beginning on page 4 before investing in our common stock.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

Our Business

Our company, Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc., has developed a franchise system to offer high quality, integrated and consistent dog day care services under the brand name “The Puppy Zone”. We are the successor business to TPZ Enterprises, a Canadian partnership. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for dogs and their owners through the operation of our dog day care franchises. Our research has indicated that our franchise system is unique in the pet care industry. We believe that our franchise system leads the pet care industry in that it applies sound commercial practices with a focus to create a strong corporate brand through sale of franchises, provision of onsite training and rigorous observance of our training and operating guides and manuals.

We were incorporated in Nevada on April 27, 2005.

Our principal executive office is located at 8275 South Eastern Avenue, Suite 200, Las Vegas, Nevada 89123. We will also operate out of our directors' home offices in British Columbia. Our telephone number is (702) 938-0486 and our Internet address is www.puppyzone.com.

We are offering up to a total of 3,000,000 units of our securities, each unit comprising one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant. The offering price is $0.05 per unit. Each share purchase warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at the price of $0.10 per share within two years of completion of this offering. The units are being offered for a period not to exceed 90 days, unless extended by our board of directors for an additional 90 days. We currently have 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. If we sell the maximum number of units we plan to sell in this offering, we will have 6,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding after completion of the offering and we will reserve another 3,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of the share purchase warrants.

The possible net proceeds to our company from completion of this offering is $100,000, after deducting the estimated cost of $50,000 for this offering. We will use the proceeds of this offering for further development of our Puppy Zone franchise system and the marketing of our Puppy Zone franchise system.

We will sell the units of our securities in this offering through Tamara Huculak, one of our officers and directors. Ms. Huculak intends to offer the securities through advertisements and investment meetings and to friends of our officers and directors. There is no minimum number of units that have to be sold in this offering and the units will be sold on a best efforts basis only. If we do not raise at least $50,000 in this offering we will not be able to continue with our proposed operations and we will go out of business. If we go out of business, investors will lose their entire investment.

We are not listed for trading on any exchange or an automated quotation system. Because we are not listed for trading on any exchange or automated quotation system, you may not be able to resell your shares.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing units of our securities. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

The risk that you could lose all of your investment increases with any shortfall of the $150,000 maximum amount that we are trying to raise in this offering. We will close this offering within 90 days even if we raise only a nominal amount. We need a minimum of $50,000 to cover our offering expenses.

Even if we raise the entire $150,000 maximum amount we are trying to raise in this offering you could lose all of your investment if we do not have enough money to implement and complete our proposed business operations. The risk that you could lose all of your investment increases with any shortfall of the $150,000 maximum amount that we are trying to raise in this offering. Your risk increases because if we raise less money it would be more likely that we will not have sufficient funds to implement or complete our proposed business operations. We will close this offering within 90 days even if we raise only a nominal amount and we will not refund any money we raise. We need a minimum of $50,000 to cover our estimated offering expenses. We may not even be able to raise this amount. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds to cover our estimated operating expenses and implement and complete our proposed business operations we will go out of business and you will lose your entire investment.

We need financing from this offering to implement our business plan and to market and deploy our Puppy Zone franchise system. If we do not raise at least $50,000 we will not be able to continue our proposed operations and you will lose your entire investment.

We need financing from this offering to complete to implement our proposed business plan and to market and deploy our Puppy Zone franchise system. If we are unable to raise at least $50,000 we will not be able to undertake our proposed business operations and you will lose your entire investment. In addition, we may:

 

incur unexpected costs in implementing our proposed business plan and/or the marketing and deploy of our Puppy Zone franchise system;

 

incur delays and additional expenses in the promotion of our Puppy Zone franchise system;

 

be unable to create substantial pool of business people interested in becoming a franchisee; or

 

incur significant and unanticipated expenses.

The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plan. We will depend substantially on outside capital to pay for the marketing and deployment of our Puppy Zone franchise system. Such outside capital may include borrowing. Capital may not be available to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, it may be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in your equity interests and the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we were unable to obtain financing in the amounts required our proposed business will fail and you will lose your entire investment.

The offering price of the securities was arbitrarily determined, and therefore should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities. Therefore, the offering price bears no relationship to the actual value of the company, and may make our common stock difficult to sell.

Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.05 for the unit of our securities was arbitrarily determined. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price is not an indication of and is not based upon our actual value. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

You may not be able to liquidate your investment since there is no assurance that a public market will develop for our common stock or that our common stock will ever be approved for trading on a recognized exchange .

There is no established public trading market for our securities. After this document is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we intend to seek a market maker to apply for a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board in the United States. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. We cannot assure you that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate its investment, which will result in the loss of your investment.

Future sales of common stock by our directors and officers will likely cause the market price for our common stock to drop.

A total of 3,000,000 share of common stock were issued to our two officers and directors. They paid an average price of $0.001 per share. Subject to the restrictions described under “Future Sales by Existing Shareholders” on page 16 of this prospectus, they will likely sell a portion of their common stock if the price goes above $0.10. If they do sell their common stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have a limited operating history that you can use to evaluate us and therefore we may not survive if we meet some of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a start up company.

We were incorporated in April 2005 and on April 27, 2005 we acquired the business assets of TPZ Enterprises, including various trademarks associated with the Puppy Zone franchise system, franchise agreements and the training and operating manuals of the Puppy Zone franchise system. To date, we have focused our attention on fine tuning and marketing our Puppy Zone franchise system. Accordingly, you can evaluate our business, and therefore our future prospects, based only on a limited operating history. You must consider our prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by start up companies. To date, we have completed only part of our plan to become a successful dog day care franchisor. As a start-up company, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to make the necessary steps to achieve profitability in the future, such as expanding our customer base.

We are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the commencement of a new business enterprise with new management. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully generate revenues, operate profitably, or make any distributions to the holders of our securities. We have a limited business history for you to analyze or to aid you in making an informed judgment as to the merits of an investment in our securities. Any investment in our common stock should be considered a high risk investment because you will be placing funds at risk in an unseasoned start-up company with unforeseen costs, expenses, competition and other problems to which start-up ventures are often subject.

As we have such a limited history of operation, you will be unable to assess our future operating performance or our future financial results or condition by comparing these criteria against our past or present equivalents.

We may require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain additional financing will inhibit our ability to expand or even maintain our business operations .

We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or sale of equity to achieve our current business strategy. The financing we need may not be available when needed. Even if this financing is available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing will inhibit our ability to implement our development strategy, and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our development strategy and possibly cease our operations.

If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain product and service development programs. In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put your investment dollars at significant risk.

If we are unable to generate significant revenues from our operations, we may be unable to expand our Puppy Zone franchise system and may be forced to cease operations.

If we are unable to generate significant revenues from our future franchise arrangements with franchisees, we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain services and product development programs. We intend to develop and sell franchises in the dog day care industry. Ultimately the expansion of our franchises and featured destinations may allow us to become profitable. However, if we fail to generate significant revenues in the future, then we will not able to expand our product line as we anticipate. This failure to expand may hurt our ability to raise additional capital which could have a negative effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put your investment dollars at significant risk.

We expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business as our Puppy Zone franchise system gains acceptance in the market. If we are unable to hire additional staff to handle sales and marketing of our services and manage our operations, our growth could harm our future business results and may strain our managerial and operational resources.

If our Puppy Zone franchise gains acceptance in the market after our marketing campaigns, we expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to hire staff to market our franchise system, manage operations, handle sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. We will be required to hire a broad range of personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. If we fail to develop and implement effective systems, or hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our future franchise relationships, or fail to manage growth effectively, our business will fail and you will lose your entire investment in our company.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, then we may not be able to implement our business plan.

We depend on the services of our officers and directors, Tamara Huculak and Maria Estrada. Our success depends on the continued efforts of these individuals to manage our business operations. At the present time, Ms. Huculak devotes approximately 15 hours per week and Ms. Estrada devotes approximately 5 hours per week to the business affairs of our company. The loss of the services of either Ms. Huculak or Ms. Estrada could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our success in expanding our business operations is largely dependent on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel. In addition, we may lose employees or consultants that we hire due to higher salaries and fees being offered by competitors or other businesses in the industry.

Tamara Huculak’s control of our company may prevent you from causing a change in the course of our operations and may affect the market price of our common stock.

Tamara Huculak beneficially owns approximately 66.67% of our common stock. Accordingly, for as long as Ms. Huculak continues to own more than 50% of our common stock, she will be able to elect our entire board of directors, control all matters that require a stockholder vote (such as mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations) and exercise a significant amount of influence over our management and operations. Therefore, depending on the number of our securities sold, your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations may be impeded. As such, the value attributable to the right to vote is limited. This concentration of ownership could result in a reduction in value to the common stock you own because of the ineffective voting power, and could have the effect of preventing us from undergoing a change of control in the future.

Other than trademarks registrations in Canada of the trademark “The Puppy Zone”, “The Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre” and the related designs and the trademark registration in the United States of the trademark “The Puppy Zone”, we currently do not have any other formal protection for our intellectual property. If we are unable to protect our trade names, know how and trade secrets, our efforts to increase public recognition of our Puppy Zone franchise system may be impaired and we may be required to incur substantial costs to protect our name, know how and trade secrets.

Other than the trademark registrations described above, we have not made any applications for the protection of our intellectual property rights. As a consequence we may not be able to prevent the unauthorized use of our trade names, know how and trade secrets. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using names or business methods that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our name, our know how, our trade secrets and other proprietary rights that we may hold. We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect any intellectual property rights that we assert. Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources. Any claims, by or against us, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources and result in the loss of goodwill associated with our trade names, know how, and trade secrets.

Because our directors have foreign addresses this may create potential difficulties relating to service of process in the event that you wish to serve them with legal documents.

Neither of our current directors and officers have resident addresses in the United States. They are both resident in Canada. Because our officers and directors have foreign addresses this may create potential difficulties relating to the service of legal or other documents on any of them in the event that you wish to serve them with legal documents.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

Please read this prospectus carefully. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should not assume that the information provided by the prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” on pages 4 to 9, that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. 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. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to the offering made in this prospectus.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION'S PUBLIC REFERENCE

 

Any member of the public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

THE OFFERING

This prospectus covers the sale of up to a total of 3,000,000 units of our securities, each unit comprising one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant. The offering price is $0.05 per unit. Each share purchase warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at the price of $0.10 per share within two years of completion of this offering. The share purchase warrants are not transferable by the holders and we are not seeking to register the share purchase warrants as a separate class of securities.

There is no minimum number of units that we have to sell. There is no arrangement to place the proceeds from this offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. Nevada law does not require that funds raised pursuant to the sale of securities be placed into an escrow account. Any funds raised from this offering will be immediately available to our company for its use. The offering will be for a period of 90 days from the effective date and may be extended for an additional 90 days if we so choose to do so.

We estimate that the expenses of conducting this offering will be approximately $50,000. If we do not raise at least $50,000 in this offering we will not be able to continue with our proposed operations and we will go out of business.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to raise up to $150,000 from the sale of the 3,000,000 units of our securities that we propose to sell directly at $0.05 per unit. This offering is made on a best efforts basis and there is no minimum. We have no intention to return to any investor any proceeds from the sale of any of these 3,000,0000 units if the maximum amount is not raised. We intend to use the proceeds for general working capital purposes. The following table shows how our company intends to use the proceeds from this offering if all of the 3,000,000 units are sold:

Costs of this Offering:

This expenditure item refers to the costs and expenses payable by our company in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered hereunder and the preparation of this prospectus and registration statement on Form SB-2, including fees paid to legal counsel for securities advice and to independent auditors for audit of our company's financial statements.

Accounting Expenses:

This expenditure item refers to the normal accounting and auditing costs associated with maintaining a reporting company in the United States, and includes the cost of our bookkeeping and audit reviews.

Overhead and Miscellaneous Administrative Expenses:

This expenditure item refers to the normal anticipated expenses that we will incur for rent, printing fees, registration fees, transfer agent fees and similar expenses, including small miscellaneous costs that have not otherwise been listed, such as bank service charges and sundry items.

Legal Expenses:

This expenditure item refers to the normal legal costs associated with maintaining a reporting company, including the legal fees payable to our attorneys for their assistance in preparing and filing our periodic reports on Form 10-QSB and Form 10-KSB, in negotiating contracts on our behalf and in performing similar services on an as-needed basis. This expenditure item does not include any legal fees incurred for assistance from our attorneys in the preparation of this prospectus and registration statement on Form SB-2.

If we raise less than $50,000 in this offering, we will not be able to pay our offering expenses and we will not be able to commence the marketing campaigns to raise the brand awareness of our Puppy Zone franchise system. If we are unable to commence our marketing campaigns, we likely will not succeed in attracting potential franchisees to participate in our Puppy Zone franchise. We are not going to spend any sums of money to commence our marketing campaign until this offering is completed.

While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering substantially in the manner set forth above, we reserve the right to reassess and reassign such use if, in the judgment of our board of directors, such changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting such changes.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The price of our securities to be sold in this offering was determined arbitrarily in order for us to raise up to a total of $150,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. The factors considered were:

 

our lack of operating history

 

the proceeds to be raised by this offering

 

the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing stockholders

 

our relative cash requirements

 

the price we believe a purchaser is willing to pay for our stock

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 that results from subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from the total assets of an entity. Dilution can occur if we determine the offering price based on factors other than those used in computing the book value of our common shares. Dilution will exist because the book value of shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the offering price offered to new investors.

We are offering 3,000,000 units of our securities for $0.05 per unit through this offering. Each unit comprising one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant will entitle its holder to

purchase one additional share of our common stock at the price of $0.10 per share within two years of completion of this offering. Assuming that the share purchase warrants are not exercised at the completion of this offering, we will effectively receive $0.05 for each share of our common stock sold in this offering. Since the inception of our company on April 27, 2005, our exiting shareholders, including our officers and directors, have purchased shares of our common stock for $0.001 per share. As at December 31, 2005, the net tangible book value of our company was $.0064 per share. If we are successful in selling all of the 3,000,000 units that we are offering to sell in this offering and assume none of the share purchase warrants are exercised, the pro-forma net tangible book value of our company would be $130,898, or approximately $0.0218 per share, which would represent an immediate increase of $0.0282 in net tangible book value per share and $0.0282 or 56.4% per share dilution to new investors, assuming that all of the units are sold at the offering price of $0.05 per unit and none of the share purchase warrants are exercised.

Following is a table detailing dilution to investors if 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the offering of the 3,000,000 units (assuming that none of the share purchase warrants are exercised) by our company is sold:

(1) The net tangible book value per share before the offering is determined by dividing the number of shares of common stock outstanding into the net tangible book value of our company.

(2) The net tangible book value per share after the offering is determined by dividing the number of shares that will be outstanding after the offering into the net tangible book value after the offering.

(3) The increase in Net Book Value is attributable to the purchase of stock by new investors and is calculated by taking the net tangible book value per share after the offering and subtracting from it the net tangible book value per share before the offering.

(4) The dilution to new investors is determined by subtracting the net tangible book value per share after the offering from the public offering price.

This discussion compares the differences of your investment in our shares with the share investment of our existing stockholders, including our officers and directors. Our existing stockholders have purchased a total of 3,000,000 shares for an aggregate amount of $3,000, or an average cost of $0.001 per share. Your investment in our shares will cost you $0.05 per share. In the event that this offering of 3,000,000 units is fully subscribed and none of the share purchase warrants are exercised, the book value of the stock held by the existing shareholders of our company will increase by $0.0282 per share and your investment will decrease by $0.0282 per share.

If the offering of the 3,000,000 units is fully subscribed and none of the share purchase warrants are exercised, the total capital contributed by new investors will be $150,000. Our existing shareholders will then hold 50% of our issued and outstanding shares and our new investors will hold 50% of our issued and outstanding shares.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Since the inception of our company on April 27, 2005, we have not paid any cash dividends to any holders of our securities. We have no present intention of paying any dividends on the shares of our common stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, for use in our operations and in the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined from time to time by our board of directors.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

In general, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days.

(1) Based on 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 26, 2006. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common stock listed above, based on information furnished by such owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Changes in Control

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company.

FUTURE SALES BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS

A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to the existing stockholders, all of which are “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one (1) year after their acquisition.

Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resaleable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par vale of $0.001 per share. The holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at times and in amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. The common stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights and may not be redeemed or converted. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets legally available for distribution to our shareholders are divided among the holders of the common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by each of them, after payments of all of our debts and liabilities.

Penny Stock Rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-

 

 



17

 

 

dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents, subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Nevada corporation law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person 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, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Nevada corporation law also provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

Our Bylaws authorize our company to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law.

Our Bylaws require us to indemnify any present and former directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, trustees and each person who serves in any such capacities at our request against all costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities and all amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, action, suit or proceeding brought against such person by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee, agent, partner or trustees of our company. We will only

 

 



18

 

 

indemnify such persons if one of the groups set out below determines that such person has conducted him/herself in good faith and that such person:

 

reasonably believed that their conduct was in or not opposed to our company’s best interests; or

 

with respect to criminal proceedings had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

Our Bylaws also require us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of our company to procure a judgment in our company’s favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of our company or is or was serving at the request of our company in any such capacities against all costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities and all amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person. We will only indemnify such persons if one of the groups set out below determined that such person has conducted him/herself in good faith and that such person reasonably believed that their conduct was in or not opposed to our company's best interests. Unless a court otherwise orders, we will not indemnify any such person if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to our company.

The determination to indemnify any such person must be made:

 

by our stockholders;

 

by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;

 

by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

 

by court order.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, our company has been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Corporate Overview

We were incorporated in Nevada on April 27, 2005 under the name Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc. Our principal executive office is located at Suite 200, 8275 South Eastern Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89123. We will also operate out of our directors’ home offices in British Columbia. Our telephone number is (702) 938-0486 and our Internet address is www.puppyzone.com. We are the successor business to TPZ Enterprises. TPZ Enterprises, a Canadian Partnership, was established on January 1, 1999, in accordance with the laws of British Columbia, Canada. TPZ Enterprises’ business was to develop and market franchises for pet care for dogs. On April 27, 2005, TPZ Enterprises sold its business to Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc.

In 1999, Tamara Anne Huculak, the President and a director of our company, helped establish TPZ Enterprises to promote the dog day care concept and selling dog day care franchises. The first franchise location for TPZ Enterprises was established in Whistler, British Columbia, and a second location was later started in Vancouver. Puppy Zone Enterprises Inc. has seen the potential in the growing pet industry to build on the concept and strategies that were conceived by TPZ Enterprises and has acquired the business including the methodologies, forms, documents, databases, agreements, U.S. and Canadian trademarks and domain name to take the concept to the North American market.

 

 

 



19

 

 

The Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. owned the Whistler franchise and the principal officers of the Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. were the same as the partners of TPZ Enterprises.

 

There was a verbal agreement in place between the Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. and TPZ Enterprises. The agreement was that TPZ Enterprises would allow the Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. to use TPZ Enterprises’s name, logos and business concept and the Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. would get the Whistler location up and running as a franchise. Then, the Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. would sell the store to a third party. The third party would pay the Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. for the purchase of the business and enter into a franchise agreement with TPZ Enterprises for the payment of royalties and other related fees. Other than the right to receive future franchise fees or other related payments, TPZ Enterprises had no rights in the Whistler franchise. However, because of a lack of funding of Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre Inc. and because negotiations with a potential purchaser fell through, the Whistler franchise was not sold as a franchise and it ceased operations in 2004.

 

The Vancouver location closed in 2001.

Business Overview

Our company, Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc., has developed a franchise system to offer high quality, integrated and consistent dog day care services under the brand name “The Puppy Zone”. The Puppy Zone franchise system is structured to apply sound commercial practices in developing, marketing and managing a franchised daycare outlet providing the day care owner proven methods and providing dog owners peace of mind when at home or traveling that their dog is being provided consistent and professional care.

The concept is to establish dog day cares in resort locations that are within driving distances of major population centers where companion dog day cares will be established. This is key in developing our niche and in developing The Puppy Zone franchises into an industry leader, with a strong brand image and a unique product, within a growing North American market.

Principal Products and Services

Based on the experience of our President and director, Tamara Anne Huculak and our predecessor business, TPZ Enterprises, we have developed a franchise system for dog day cares, which we named the “Puppy Zone” franchise system. The Puppy Zone franchise system is structured to apply sound commercial practices in developing, marketing and managing a franchised daycare outlet providing the day care owner proven methods and providing dog owners peace of mind when at home or traveling that their dog is being provided consistent and professional care.

The concept is to establish dog day cares in resort locations that are within driving distances of major population centers where companion dog day cares will be established.

An exclusive Puppy Zone territory of operation

The Puppy Zone franchise system's dog day care model is based on the total well being of a dog, including the understanding of socialization, both canine to canine and human to canine, maintenance (including proper nutrition, proper grooming and proper exercise), obedience training and the pack theory. The Puppy Zone franchise system was created to meet most of these needs for a dog. Accordingly, a Puppy Zone franchise's primary products will be as follows:

 

Dog Day Care

 

Dog walking

 

Dog sitting in the evenings

 

Dog obedience and training for dogs and owners

 

Grooming, including do it yourself grooming.

 

Dog workshops

 

Sale of dog food, toys, supplies and branded products

A Puppy Zone franchise provides dog day care (thus the socialization both human to canine and canine to canine the dog needs as well as exercise), do it yourself dog wash and grooming, dog training and retail of high quality treats and gear for dogs. Thus our Puppy Zone franchise system aim to create a one stop facility for the betterment of our “best friends”. Through our future franchisees, we are dedicated to providing professional, humane and first class service to customers to enhance the humane development of dogs and the development of the owner and dog relationship.

In the next three years, Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc. will consider developing and selling:

 

branded dog training manuals, videos and DVD’s

 

branded retail merchandise

 

branded dog grooming manuals, videos and DVD’s

Competitive Advantages

Our comparative advantage lies in the niche concept we have developed, being the operation of dog day care facilities in resort communities that are within driving distance of major urban centers and the lack of serious competition in North America of a recognized dog day care franchise. In addition, demographics have indicated

 

 



22

 

 

that the pet industry is on a growth trend at the same time as leisure and travel for the baby boom segment of the market.

Industry Background

There is a proliferation of “cottage industry” kennels and day care services which have started in the last several years. The next step in the cycle for this industry will be a more formal, commercial approach by more sophisticated entrepreneurs with strong commercial backgrounds. According to the December/January 2000 Profit Magazine, 60% of Canadian households own pets and consumers spend approximately $1.8 billion a year to keep their dogs healthy and happy. Profit magazine also named the pet industry, and specifically dog day care, as one of the top 10 businesses to get into now. Today's dogs are considered members of the family and more and more families chose to travel with their dogs and are looking for dog care while at work and while traveling. The Humane Society of the United States estimates that 39% of American households own at least one dog. In 2004, it is estimated that over $34 billion was spent on pets in the United States, with over $2.3 billion being spent on pet services such as dog care and grooming.

Marketing Strategies

Our promotion strategy will start with a promotion blitz during the first three months of operation. This blitz will combine direct mail, email, brochures, flyers and magazines, newspapers and the development of our website in order to develop our brand image and value. The cost for the introductory blitz is included in the forecast at $20,000.00.

 

Our ongoing promotion after the blitz will include the following:

 

Special purpose brochures for hotels and pet service businesses.

 

Web site design and advertising along with links to other pet based web sites.

 

Direct sales and ongoing contact with existing database.

 

Continued advertising in magazines and newspapers.

 

Contact with dog friendly hotel chains to establish alliances and /or prospective hotel chain owned franchises.

 

Requests for referrals and contacts from existing customers.

 

Designing promotional materials and merchandise to maintain and enhance our brand image.

Research and Development

We currently do not have any plan for research and development. If research and development becomes necessary, we plan to have our own officers and directors do substantially all of our future research and development work, which may include improvements to our Puppy Zone franchise system.

Intellectual Property

We believe that the Puppy Zone franchise system and related manuals, training guides and data which we have developed constitute intellectual property belonging to us. The contents of the Puppy Zone franchise system over which we assert intellectual property rights include principally the following:

 

business plan methodology;

 

 



23

 

 

 

sample floor plans and decoration schemes for future franchise locations;

 

system structures for accounting, customer database management and business plan development;

 

sample form designs and start up forms for operations of a franchise dog day care; and

 

any manuals or training guides we developed for management of a franchise dog day care.

We have registered the trademark “Puppy Zone” with the United States Patent and Trademark office. In the Canadian Trade-marks Office we have applied for and received notice of registration for the trademarks “The Puppy Zone” and “The Puppy Zone Dog Day Care and Adventure Centre” and the related designs and logos.

Our ability to compete successfully will depend in part on our ability to protect our proprietary Puppy Zone franchise system and the related information. Except for the trademark registrations in the United States and Canada described above, we have not applied for registration of intellectual property rights in respect of any of our other forms of intellectual property. Although we attempt to prevent improper disclosure of our proprietary know how, technique and business methods, we cannot assure that the measures we take will be adequate, or that competitors will not be able to develop similar systems independently. We may have to resort to litigation to enforce or determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights. Litigation of this nature would likely be expensive, and its outcome uncertain.

We have no pending claims against us for infringement of any patents or other intellectual property rights of others. We have no reason to believe that we infringe any intellectual property rights of others, although we do not conduct systematic patent searches to determine whether any of our products infringe existing patent rights. Whether or not we are actually infringing the rights of third parties, claims of infringement may be advanced against us, forcing us either to defend costly litigation or to purchase license rights from third parties. If we are forced to purchase license rights from third parties, we can not assure that we will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Employees

In addition to our two officers and directors, we intend to initially hire one experienced sales person to promote the sale of franchises and to screen and respond to franchise inquiries.

Franchise Laws and Regulations

In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission, as well as the securities regulators in states having a franchise law, may assert that our relationships with our franchisees are subject to the registration, disclosure and reporting requirements applicable to franchises. Although we intend to structure first our franchise relationship with interested parties in jurisdictions without franchise laws, we may from time to time have to expend resources to bring our operations into compliance with those laws when our future franchisees reside in a jurisdiction that has franchise laws.

REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

We are not required to deliver an annual report to our stockholders but will voluntarily send an annual report, together with our annual audited financial statements. We are required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Securities and Exchange Commission filings are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

The public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E. Washington D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. We are an electronic filer.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and plan of operations together with the audited financial statements and the notes to audited financial statements included elsewhere in this filing. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this registration statement.

General Overview

We are a development stage company focused on developing a franchise system that provides unique methods, documents, marketing and training for the development, opening and operation of distinctive dog day cares. We have only just completed our “Puppy Zone” franchise system and we have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.

Our key to success is to develop a recognized chain of totally integrated dog service businesses. Our research has indicated that this concept is unique in the industry. In addition, we will lead the industry by applying sound commercial practices with a focus to creating a strong corporate brand through the sale of franchises and providing onsite training and training and operating documentation and manuals.

Our niche and experience is focusing on dog owners and their daily activities in a resort community. Our strengths lie in the unique concept, convenience to owners, our experience and the high quality service we intend to provide, and the added value service this provides to hotels and other businesses in a resort while developing a database for the neighboring major urban centers for our “companion” daycares.

In order to meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do raise, will be applied first to our offering expenses and then to pay ongoing wireless service provider and marketing costs. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering, we will have to find alternative sources, such as a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.

Until we are able to generate material revenues from operations we must limit our expenses as much as possible. To date the majority of our expenses have been as a result of legal and accounting costs associated with the offering and this registration statement. Once we are no longer faced with such expenses as they relate specifically to this registration statement and the offering, we anticipate that our ongoing operating, legal and audit expenses will be at a manageable level.

Plan of Operations

Subject to financing from this offering, over the next 12 months, our primary objectives in regards to our efforts to maintain and expand our business and generate our revenues are:

 

To sell 10 franchises in at least five major urban areas and at least five proximate resort locations, these may include Whistler/Vancouver, Banff/Calgary, Mont Tremblant/Montreal, Lake Tahoe/Reno/Sacramento/San Francisco, Copper Mountain/Denver, Bend/Portland, or Seattle/Snoqualmie/Crystal Mountain.

 

 



25

 

 

 

To raise between $50,000 and $150,000 in operating capital.

 

To obtain referral agreements or alliances with “dog friendly” hotels, restaurants and other non-competitive pet service providers.

 

To develop a database of potential franchise owners.

 

To establish the brand name recognition in North America of “The Puppy Zone”.

We plan to charge a franchise start up fee of $35,000 per franchise. We also plan to change a royalty fee in the amount of 5% of the gross revenue of each future franchisee. We estimate that each future franchisee will generate an average revenue of $150,000 per year. Accordingly, we estimate that we will be able to generate a royalty fee of approximately $7,500 per future franchisee per year.

In the view of our management, to achieve the objectives of our business operations in the next 12 months, we will have the following capital resource requirements:

Trademarks and purchase of assets

$5.00

Video Equipment

$1,000.00

Miscellaneous Office Equipment and supplies

$1,000.00

Legal & Accounting – Startup

$25,000.00

Rent (5 months)

$1,500.00

Website design

$2,000.00

Marketing and Advertising – Startup

$20,000.00

Total

$50,505.00

Employees

In addition to the expertise of our directors, we intend to initially hire one experienced sales person to promote the sale of franchises and to screen and respond to franchise inquiries. Upon the sale of a franchise, we will hire a further employee as a franchise trainer.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the date of this registration statement, we have not yet sold any franchise rights under our “Puppy Zone” franchise system or generated any revenues from our business operations.

We issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section 4(2) and Regulation S Rule 903 offering in April 2005 and received subscription proceeds in the amount of $3,000.

Our material commitments for capital expenditures for the next 12 months totals approximately $50,505 as described above. We require funds from this offering to pay all of these costs. However, any administrative or other costs such as legal and accounting fees, rent, printing, phone services and so forth which must be paid prior to completion of this offering will be paid by the directors in the form of short-term advances on behalf of the company.

We require proceeds from this offering to pay the costs which will be associated with the marketing and sales of our Puppy Zone franchise system. If we are not able to raise money to pay these costs we will go out of business. If we do not raise at least $100,000 in this offering we will not be able to achieve our business objectives for the next 12 months. In particular, we will not be able to pay our offering expenses, market our services or deploy our franchise system unless we achieve sufficient financing in this offering.

As of June 30, 2006 we had no assets and our total liabilities were $29,531. We will need at least $100,505 to pay our offering expenses and commence the marketing of our franchise system. Of this amount, $50,000 will be used

 

 



26

 

 

to pay our offering expenses and $50,505 will be used to operate our business to achieve our business objectives for the next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Not Applicable.

Going Concern Statement

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the audited financial statements for the period from our inception on April 27, 2005 to June 30, 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our audited financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our services and products, the continuing successful development of our franchise system and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to proceed with our expansion program and may not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CHANGES TO EXISTING ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued cautionary advice regarding the disclosure of critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that our management believes are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and that require difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that involve uncertainty.

We believe the “critical” accounting policies we use in preparation of our financial statements are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

We follow the software revenue recognition rules outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2. We recognize revenue when there is a persuasive evidence of a contract, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and there are no substantive performance obligations remaining. Any cash received in advance of meeting these criteria is recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. Changes in contractual arrangements or customer relationships in the future could impact the extent or timing of revenue recognition.

Income Taxes

Our financial statements reflect a full valuation allowance against the net future income tax assets based on our assessment that we are not more likely than not to be able to utilize certain deductions before their expiry. Our assessment is based on a judgment of estimated loss before such deductions. Changes in the timing of the recognition and amount of revenues and expenses in the future may impact our ability to utilize these deductions.

Effects of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates and Inflation

While we record our financial statements in United States dollars, many of our expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. As a result, fluctuations in the Canadian dollar exchange rate can affect our expenses, and thus our profit or loss. The foreign exchange loss may result from transactions recorded in United States dollars for reporting purposes, but actually carried out in Canadian dollars. As at the date of this registration statement, we have not engaged in exchange rate-hedging activities. To the extent we implement such hedging activities in the future, we cannot assure that we will be successful.

In the period from our inception on April 27, 2005 to June 30, 2006, inflation has had a limited impact on our operations. However, there can be no assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the future.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As at June 30, 2006 we have not entered into or acquired financial instruments that have a material market risk. We have no financial instruments for trading or other purposes or derivative or other financial instruments with off balance sheet risk. All financial assets and liabilities are due within the next 12 months and are classified as current assets or liabilities in the balance sheet provided with this registration statement. The fair value of all financial instruments at June 30, 2006 approximate their carrying values.

To June 30, 2006, the majority of our cash costs have been realized or incurred in Canadian dollars. To date we have not entered into foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency risks between the Canadian dollar or other foreign currencies and our reporting currency, the United States dollar. Generally, however, we attempt to manage our risk of exchange rate fluctuations by maintaining sufficient net assets in Canadian dollars to retire our liabilities as they come due.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We adopted Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), which came into effect on July 1, 2003. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. In some arrangements, the different revenue-generating activities are sufficiently separable, and there may be sufficient evidence of their fair value to separately account for some or all of the deliverables. In other arrangements, some or all of the deliverables are not independently functional, or there is not sufficient evidence of their fair values to account for them separately. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on our company's financial statements.

In December 2003, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition”, which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” The primary purpose of SAB 104 was to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21. SAB 104 also incorporated certain sections of the SEC's “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements—Frequently Asked Questions and Answers” document. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101, as they apply to our company, remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104. The adoption of SAB 104 had no material impact on our company's financial statements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 153 “Exchange of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the

 

 



28

 

 

standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the company's results of operations or financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB revised its SFAS No. 123 (“SFAS 123R”). The revision requires the measurement of all employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The accounting provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. See “Stock-based compensation” in note 2 for the pro forma net loss and net loss per share amounts, for fiscal 2002 through fiscal 2004, as if we had used a fair-value-based method in those years, similar to the methods required under SFAS 123R to measure compensation expense for employee stock incentive awards. Although it has not yet been determined whether the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, the Company is evaluating the requirements under SFAS 123R and expects the adoption to have a significant adverse impact on the amounts reported in our consolidated statements of operations and net loss per share.

In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS 123R. The Company will consider SAB 107 during implementation of SFAS 123R.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our executive and head office is located at 8275 South Eastern Avenue, Suite 200, Las Vegas, Nevada 89123. We pay a monthly rent of $150.00 for the use of this office. This operating facility functions as our main operating facility. We believe our current premises are adequate for our current operations and we do not anticipate that we will require any additional premises in the foreseeable future.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Other than as described under the heading “Executive Compensation”, or as set forth below, there are no material transactions with any of our directors, officers or control persons that have occurred during the period from our inception on April 27, 2005 to the date of this registration statement:

 

On April 27, 2005, we issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to Tamara Anne Huculak, the President and a director of our company, at an offering price of $0.001 per share for a gross offering proceed of $2,000.

 

Also on April 27, 2005, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Maria Estrada, the Secretary and Treasurer and a director of our company, at an offering price of $0.001 per share for a gross offering proceed of $1,000.

We do not have established policies about entering into future transactions with affiliates. Management addresses individual transactions on their individual merits.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

There is currently no trading market for our common stock. We do not have any common stock subject to outstanding options or warrants and there are no securities outstanding that are convertible into our common stock. None of our 3,000,000 shares of common stock that were issued to the existing stockholders is eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one (1) year after their acquisition.

Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resaleable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.

 

 



29

 

 

As at September 26, 2006, we have 3,000,000 shares issued and outstanding. We have two registered shareholders, namely Tamara Anne Huculak and Maria Estrada.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any profits we earn to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

We currently do not have a stock option plan or any equity compensation plan.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

We did not purchase any of our shares of common stock or other securities during the period from our inception on April 27, 2005 to June 30, 2006.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Directors of Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc. (A Development Stage Company):

 

We have audited the balance sheet of Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc. as at June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the statements of loss and deficit, cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency for the year then ended and from the date of inception April 27, 2005 to June 30, 2005 and from the date of inception April 27, 2005 to June 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended and for the period from the date of inception April 27, 2005 to June 30, 2006 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, the company has incurred net losses and a stockholders’ deficiency. This raises substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Exhibit “E”

Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2006 and 2005

 

Note A - Organization and Description of Business

 

Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc. (Company) was incorporated on April 27, 2005 in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada and is extra provincially registered in British Columbia, Canada. The Company's principle business is to develop and market franchises for pet care for dogs. All amounts expressed herein are in United States dollars.

 

On April 27, 2005 the company purchased the trademark name “The Puppy Zone” and related versions and goodwill from the shareholders of the company for $5.

 

Note B - Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a “going concern” with the assumption that the company will be able to continue in business for the foreseeable future, and will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations rather than through a process of forced liquidation. During the periods ended December 31 and June 30, 2005 the Company experienced operating losses, and operations have primarily been funded by the issuance of share capital. Continued operations of the Company are dependent upon the Company’s ability to complete further equity financing or generate profitable operations in the future.

 

Since inception, the company has incurred losses and a deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company anticipates that that additional funding will likely be in the form of equity financing from the sale of common shares. The Company may also seek to obtain short-tem loans from the directors of the Company. There are no current arrangements in place for equity funding or short-term loans.

 

Note C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern and are expressed in US dollars. The Company's fiscal year end is June 30. These financial statements reflect the accounting policies outlined below:

 

 

1.

Development Stage Company

 

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FAS”) No. 7 and the Security and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as a development stage

 

 

2.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the

Note C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent 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.

 

 

3.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with FSAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury method and convertible preferred shares using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average shares price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005 the Company had no warrants and/or options outstanding.

 

 

4.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had no items that represent a comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

 

 

5.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, at the time of issuance, to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

 

6.

Organization Costs

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" whereby all organization and initial costs incurred with the incorporation and initial capitalization of the Company were charged to operations as incurred.

 

 

7.

Financial Instruments

 

The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable to related parties approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

 

8.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

 

FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest”, applies at different dates to different types of enterprises and entities, and special provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied Interpretation 46 prior to issuance of Interpretation 46(R). Application of Interpretation 46 or

Exhibit “E”

Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2006 and 2005

 

Note C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Interpretation 46(R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities (other than small business issuers) for all other types of entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Application by small business issuers to entities other than special-purpose entities and by non-public entities is required at various dates in 2004 and 2005. There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of the adoption of FIN 46(R).

 

 

9.

Income Taxes

 

The asset and liability method is used when accounting for income taxes. The deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary differences represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, comprising primarily of accumulated amortization and unutilized non-capital losses. The deferred tax asset is related solely to the Company's net operating loss carry forwards' and is offset by a valuation allowance.

 

 

10.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional and reporting foreign currency is the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions are occasionally undertaken in Canadian dollars and are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at each balance sheet date at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are charged to operations. The Company has not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

 

11.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

a.             In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 153 "Exchange of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the company's results of operations or financial position.

b.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment" ("FAS 123R"), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transaction in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entities equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. Public entities other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June15, 2005. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

 

 

c.

In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS 123R. The Company will consider SAB 107 during implementation of SFAS 123R.

 

Note D - Related Party Transactions

 

The advances from shareholders are unsecured and bear no interest or fixed terms of repayment.

 

On April 27, 2005, the Company purchased goodwill and intellectual property from TPZ Enterprises (a partnership) for $5. A shareholder of the Company is a partner of TPZ Enterprises. The original investment of $5 in the partnership was written off in June 2005.

 

These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration agreed to by the related parties.

On April 27, 2005, the company sold an aggregate 3,000,000 shares of restricted, unregistered common shares for gross proceeds of $3,000. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of The Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for an exemption from registration of these shares.

 

Note F – Deferred Tax Assets

The significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:

$             1,752

(1,752)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$                    -

$                    -

 

Deferred tax assets reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. No deferred tax asset has been recorded as a full valuation allowance has been applied.

The actual income tax recovery differs from the expected income tax recovery as follows:

 

 

 

 

Estimated income tax recovery at 34%

$             9,309

$             1,752

$                     -

$                    -

 

                

At June 30, 2006 the Company had accumulated non-capital losses totaling $32,526, which are available to reduce taxable income in future taxation years. The potential benefit arising from these losses has been offset with a full valuation allowance. These losses expire in 2026.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Partners of TPZ Enterprises (a partnership):

 

                

We have audited the balance sheet of TPZ Enterprises as at April 27, 2005 and December 31 2004, 2003 and 2002 and the statements of loss and deficit and cash flows for the period January 1, 2005 to April 27, 2005, the years-ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and from inception January 1, 1999 to April 27, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether these 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.

 

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the partnership as at April 27, 2005, December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods and years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, the partnership has incurred net losses and a partners’ deficiency. This raises substantial doubt about the partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 27, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002

 

 

 

 

Exhibit "D”

Note A - Organization and Description of Business

 

TPZ Enterprises, Inc. (Partnership) was formed January 1, 1999, in accordance with the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Partnership's principle business is to develop and market franchises for the pet care of dogs. On April 27, 2005, the partnership sold its business to Puppy Zone Enterprises, Inc.

 

Note B - Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that partnership is a “going concern” with the assumption that the partnership will be able to continue in business for the foreseeable future, and will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations rather than through a process of forced liquidation. Since inception, the partnership has experienced operating losses and a partners’ deficiency. Operations have been funded by the contribution of capital by the partners. Continued operations of the partnership are dependent upon further capital contributions by the partners or generating profitable operations in the future. These factors raise substantial doubt about the partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. The partnership experienced limit operations from 2000 through 2005.

2.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires the partners to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent 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.

 

 

 

3.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at April 27, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership has no items that represent a Comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

The Partnership considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, at the time of issuance, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 153 "Exchange of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's results of operations or financial position.
