Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (the Report), including Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events and the future results of Intelligent Buying, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company) that are based on managements current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions about the Companys business. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, sees, estimates and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the Risk Factors section in Item 1A, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 and elsewhere in this Report as well as those discussed from time to time in the Companys other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report. If we update or correct one or more forward-looking statements, investors and others should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections with respect to other forward-looking statements.
PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.
Background
Intelligent Buying, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California on March 22, 2004. On March 22, 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock (an aggregate of 20,000 shares) to its founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky for a cash consideration of $200. On March 22, 2006, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its Preferred Stock to each of Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky (2,500,000 Preferred Shares in the aggregate) in exchange for the 20,000 shares of the Companys common stock which had been previously issued. Both prior to the exchange and at the time of the exchange, Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky owned 100% of the stock of the Company. The decision to exchange their common shares for preferred shares was intended to enable them to maintain a particular percentage holding of the Company and enable them to maintain voting control over the Company. The 2,500,000 issued and outstanding Preferred Shares are convertible into 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
Our Business Generally
The Company has been engaged since 2004 in the business of asset management and sales of high-end computerized networking equipment to emerging high technology companies. The focus of the Companys business is to facilitate the liquidation of high-end networking equipment and information technology assets by businesses which are ceasing operations and to resell these assets to evolving technology companies at a fraction of the original cost. The Company sells products which include servers with multiple CPUs, web servers, desktop and laptop computers, enterprise level switching equipment and routers. In this respect, the Company provides a valuable service to both the financial stakeholders of the selling businesses and the purchasers.
The Company is located in the heart of Silicon Valley and is therefore well-networked with venture capital firms which are the principal funding mechanism for the information technology industry. Venture funds comprise the Companys most important contact with business opportunities. The principal categories of equipment sold by the Company comprise high-end switching and routing equipment. The manufacturers of equipment sold by the Company are generally also competitors
for sales to the same buyers. The Company also has a major focus on the evolving Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) industry and seeks to become a major provider of switches, routers and related information technology for this industry. To date, the principal focus of the Company has been Silicon Valley. In the future, the Company intends to expand nationally, and ultimately, internationally.
Our Market
Management believes that there exists a demand for networking, switching, routers and related information technology equipment in the world market. We believe that the significant growth in the use of VOIP equipment will continue and will comprise a major part of our business for the foreseeable future. While Silicon Valley is and has been our principal market, we see substantial demand for our products and services on the U.S. east coast and internationally, particularly in Asia and the ASEAN/India markets.
Market Description
The market for our products and services is highly-fragmented and there is presently no well-organized market for used information technology equipment and the re-marketing of the same. In this respect, at this time our market niche is essentially a cottage industry and our goal is to become the major player in the industry in the same manner as eBay has become the major player in the online auction industry. Our initial principal focus has been to work with the venture capital community as a vehicle for the orderly disposition of information technology equipment owned by companies which are or have ceased operations and to identify equipment which is required by emerging companies which have a need for this equipment. While we cannot quantify the gross size of this market, our experience is that this market niche is substantial and that it is largely underserved by entities with a specific focus on it. As the demand for high-quality information technology equipment grows, we believe that the demand for late-model used equipment will grow concurrently, if not at a faster pace. We believe that the demand may grow the fastest in markets outside the United States where there is a strong market acceptance for second-hand equipment and the general demand for such equipment has been growing at a faster pace than in the U.S. markets due to extensive outsourcing by American industry.
Competition
Our primary competition is the original manufacturers of the equipment we sell such as Cicso, Sun Microsystems and the like. Notwithstanding, we believe that we can work in concert with the manufacturers as a clearing house for excess products outside of their normal marketing channels. Our major competitive advantage is price, as our inventory is generally available to the public at prices which are substantially below the prices for new equipment. Our inventory is also available for immediate delivery. We do face competition from other online auction services such as eBay, Overstock.com and uBid.com. While we believe that our services are superior to these competitors due to our specialized focus on the market, these entities have financial and other resources which are, and will for the foreseeable future be, significantly greater than ours. We also face competition from many smaller entities and equipment retailers who have acted as brokers for the disposition of second-hand equipment. Most of these entities deal primarily with local markets and have limited financial resources, which tend to restrict the size and scope of their operations. The Company does not rely upon a single large customer or a high concentration of a few customers. Rather, the Company serves and markets to the general public and relies upon a large number of individual customers to comprise its sales. While the Company does not have a strong reliance on any one or concentration of a few select customers, marketing to the consumer audience may create the need for advertising and marketing to the general public, which may require significant time and expense with no guaranteed return in sales or customers.
Employees
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had three employees.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk Factors
There are several material risks associated with the Company. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, which constitute all of the material risks relating to the Company. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed. This means investors could lose all or a part of their investment.
RISKS RELATING TO THE BUSINESS
WE HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO A GOING CONCERN OPINION FROM OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008, relative to our ability to continue as a going concern. We had negative working capital of $10,500 as of December 31, 2008 and we had an accumulated deficit of $680,336 incurred through December 31, 2008. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business. As such we may have to cease operations and investors could lose their entire investment.
WE HAVE NO PROFITABLE OPERATING HISTORY AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
The Company commenced operations in 2004 and to date has operated on a relatively small scale. Through December 31. 2008, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $680,336 notwithstanding the fact that the founders and principal officers of the Company have worked without salary and the Company has operated with minimal overhead. We are an early stage company and have a limited history of operations and have not generated meaningful revenues from operations since our inception. We are faced with all of the risks associated with a company in the early stages of development. Our business is subject to numerous risks associated with a relatively new, low-capitalized company engaged in our business sector. Such risks include, but are not limited to, competition from well-established and well-capitalized companies, technological obsolescence and unanticipated difficulties regarding the marketing and sale of our inventory. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant commercial sales or achieve profitability. Should this be the case, our common stock could become worthless and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
DEPENDENCE UPON THE FOUNDERS, WITHOUT WHOSE SERVICES COMPANY BUSINESS OPERATIONS COULD CEASE
At this time, the sole officers and directors of the Company are the founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky, who are wholly responsible for the development and execution of our business. The founders are under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us, although neither has any intent to leave. If either of the founders should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find qualified management who could develop our business along the lines described herein or would be willing to work for compensation the Company could afford. Without such management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
OUR FOUNDERS AND SOLE OFFICERS DEVOTE ONLY FIVE TO TEN HOURS PER WEEK EACH TO THE COMPANYS BUSINESS AND ARE ENGAGED IN OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
At this time, the sole officers and directors of the Company, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky, devote only five to ten hours per week to the Companys business and are engaged at the same time as officers of AnchorFree Wireless, Inc. The limited time devoted to the Companys business could adversely affect the Companys business operations and prospects for the future. Without full-time devoted management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
THE COMPANY IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON A RELATED COMPANY FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ITS SALES
AnchorFree Wireless, Inc., a company controlled by the Companys sole officers and directors, accounted for approximately 1% of the Companys sales for the year ended December 31, 2008, but approximately 74% of the Companys sales for the year ended December 31, 2007. These sales are integral to the viability of the Company, and without such sales, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
CONCENTRATED CONTROL RISKS; SHAREHOLDERS COULD BE UNABLE TO CONTROL OR INFLUENCE KEY CORPORATE ACTIONS OR EFFECT CHANGES IN THE COMPANYS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR MANAGEMENT
Our founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky, each own 1,250,000 shares of our preferred stock, which is convertible into an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Assuming conversion of all shares of preferred stock, Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky would hold approximately 84.88% of the Companys common stock. Prior to such conversion, Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky control shares representing approximately 84.88% of the voting control of the Company. In addition, Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky are the sole officers and directors of the Company. Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky therefore have the power to make all major decisions regarding our affairs, including decisions regarding whether or not to issue stock and for what consideration, whether or not to sell all or substantially all of our assets and for what consideration and whether or not to authorize more stock for issuance or otherwise amend our charter or bylaws. They are in a position to elect all of our directors and to dictate all of our policies. All of these actions could adversely affect the value of investors shares or investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
LACK OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH KEY MANAGEMENT RISKING POTENTIAL OF THE LOSS OF THE COMPANYS TOP MANAGEMENT
We do not currently have employment agreements with either of Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky or key man insurance on the life of either of them. Our future success will depend in significant part on our ability to retain and hire key management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Without such management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
LACK OF ADDITIONAL WORKING CAPITAL MAY CAUSE CURTAILMENT OF ANY EXPANSION PLANS WHILE RAISING OF CAPITAL THROUGH SALE OF EQUITYSECURITIES WOULD DILUTE EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS PERCENTAGE OF OWNERSHIP
The potential exists that our available capital resources may not be adequate to fund our working capital requirements based upon our present level of operations for the 12-month period subsequent to January 1, 2009. A shortage of capital would affect our ability to fund our working capital requirements. If we require additional capital, funds may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could dilute existing shareholders. If funds are not available, this could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
WE DO NOT PRESENTLY HAVE A TRADITIONAL CREDIT FACILITY WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. THIS ABSENCE MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS.
We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. The absence of a traditional credit facility with a financial institution could adversely impact our operations. If adequate funds are not otherwise available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and product development efforts. Without such credit facilities, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
OUR INABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE A CRITICAL MASS OF SALES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
No assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully achieve a critical mass of sales in order to cover our operating expenses and achieve sustainable profitability. Without such critical mass of sales, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
MANY COMPANIES WITH GREATER RESOURCES AND OPERATING EXPERIENCE OFFER TECHNOLOGY SIMILAR TO THE PRODUCTS WE SELL. THESE COMPANIES COULD SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE WITH US ANDNEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
We operate in a competitive industry with many established and well-recognized competitors. In particular, Cisco Systems maintains a dominant position in the network switching industry and they compete directly with us with respect to the Cisco and other brand-name products we sell. We also compete with Extreme Networks, Juniper Networks, F5 Networks, Nortel Networks, Enterasys Networks, 3Com, Huawei Technologies, Force 10 Networks, and Actel, among others. Most of our competitors (including all of the competitors referenced above) have substantially greater market leverage, distribution networks, and vendor relationships, longer operating histories and industry experience, greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, more name recognition and larger installed customer bases than we do and potentially may react strongly to our marketing efforts. In addition, many competitors exist which, because of their substantial resources, distribution relationships and customer base, could temporarily drop prices to be more competitive with our Company. Other competitive responses might include, without limitation, intense and aggressive price competition and offers of employment to our key marketing or management personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from existing or new competitors, or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are not successful in competing with our competitors, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
OUR SALES AND MARKETING EFFORTS HAVE YIELDED LIMITED REVENUES AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR FUTURE SALES AND MARKETING EFFORTS WILL LEAD TO SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS.
Our sales and marketing efforts have yielded limited revenues to date and we believe we will have to significantly expand our sales and marketing capabilities in order to establish sufficient awareness to launch broader sales of our products and support services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to expand our sales and marketing efforts to the extent we believe necessary or that any such efforts, if undertaken, will be successful in achieving substantial sales of our products or support services. If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing efforts, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
THE INDUSTRY OF NETWORK SWITCH PRODUCTS IS SUBJECT TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. OUR INVENTORY OF PRODUCTS COULD BECOME OBSOLETE AT ANY TIME AND OUR LIMITED CAPITAL PROHIBITS US FROM DEVOTING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO REPLACEMENT OF SUCH INVENTORY.
Evolving technology, updated industry standards, and frequent new product and service introductions characterize the network switching market, which represents one of our principal markets. Our current inventory could become obsolete at any time. Competitors could develop new
products similar to or better than those in our inventory, which would render our inventory obsolete or significantly impact the value of our inventory. In order to be competitive, we must continue to acquire new products that offer state of the art technology at lower price points than our competitors. If we are unable to provide state-of-the-art products for sale, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
THE AVERAGE SELLING PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS, AND OUR GROSS MARGINS RESULTING FROM THE SALE OF SUCH PRODUCTS, MAY DECLINE AS A RESULT OF COMPETITIVE PRESSURES, INDUSTRY TRENDS AND OTHER FACTORS.
The network industry has experienced an erosion of the average product selling prices due to a number of factors, particularly competitive and macroeconomic pressures and rapid technological advancements. Our competitors have and will likely continue to lower sales prices from time to time in order to gain market share or create more demand. We may have to reduce the sales prices of our products in response to such intense pricing competition, which could cause our gross margins to decline and may adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. If we cannot maintain adequate profit margins on the sales of our products, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
OUR SUCCESS IS SUBSTANTIALLY DEPENDENT ON GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND BUSINESS TRENDS, PARTICULARLY IN THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY, A DOWNTURN OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
The success of our operations depends to a significant extent upon a number of factors relating to business spending. These factors include economic conditions such as employment rates and labor supply, general business conditions, cost of goods and materials, inflation, interest rates and taxation. Our business is affected by the general condition and economic stability of our customers as well as our vendors, suppliers and partners and their continued willingness to work with us in the future. Our business is particularly sensitive to information technology ("IT") spending patterns and preferences. There can be no assurance that IT spending will not be adversely affected by general business trends and economic conditions, thereby impacting our growth, net sales and profitability. An overall decline in the demand for information technology spending could cause a reduction in our sales and the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.
OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY COULD IMPAIR OUR SUCCESS.
In order for us to expand successfully, management will be required to anticipate the changing demands of a growth in operations, should such growth occur, and to adapt systems and procedures accordingly. There can be no assurance that we will anticipate all of the changing demands that a potential expansion in operations might impose. If we were to experience rapid growth, we might be required to hire and train a large number of sales and support personnel, and there can be no assurance that the training and supervision of a large number of new employees would not adversely affect the high standards that we seek to maintain. Our future will depend, in part, on our ability to integrate new individuals and capabilities into our operations, should such operations expand in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve such integration. We will also need to continually evaluate the adequacy of our management information systems, including our web site. Failure to upgrade our information systems or unexpected difficulties encountered with these systems during an expansion in our operations (should such an expansion occur) could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
CHANGES IN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, CASH FLOWS, REVENUE AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our performance. Based on our reading and interpretations of relevant guidance,
principles or concepts issued by, among other authorities, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, our management believes that our current contract terms and business arrangements have been properly reported. However, there continue to be issued interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant standards to a wide range of contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in the industries in which we operate. Future interpretations or changes by the regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices could result in future changes in our revenue recognition and/or other accounting policies and practices that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OWNERSHIP OF OUR SHARES
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY MARKET WILL EVER DEVELOP OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL BE LISTED FOR TRADING
As of the date hereof, there has not been any established trading market for our common stock and there is currently no market for our securities. We intend to seek to have a market maker file an application with the NASD on our behalf to list the shares of our common stock on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or similar quotation service when we have a sufficient number of shareholders, if ever. There can be no assurance as to whether such market makers application will be accepted or, if accepted, the prices at which our common stock will trade if a trading market develops, of which there can be no assurance. We are not permitted to file such application on our own behalf. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops, (if ever) in our common stock, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of the Company and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our Common stock. Owing to the anticipated low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. See "Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our common stock because they are considered a penny stock and are subject to the penny stock rules.
NO ESTABLISHED MARKET PRICE FOR THE SHARES
Currently, there is no established market for our stock. As a result, the price previously paid for shares of the Companys common stock may not be indicative of the price of our stock that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you. Moreover, in the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources.
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ELIGIBLE, OR TO BECOME ELIGIBLE, FOR PUBLIC SALE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL THROUGH SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. As of this date, the major portion of our outstanding securities are restricted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We also have outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which will convert into approximately 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Sales of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Any adverse effect on the market price of our common
stock could make it difficult for us to raise additional capital through sales of equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
BROKER-DEALERS MAY BE DISCOURAGED FROM EFFECTING TRANSACTIONS IN OUR COMMON STOCK SHARES BECAUSE THEY MAY BE CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE APPLICABLE PENNY STOCK RULES
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Subject to certain exceptions, a penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. There is currently no established price quotation for our shares, however, we expect that initial quotations will not exceed $5.00 and there is the possibility that the quoted shares price may never exceed $5.00, and that our common stock will be deemed penny stock for the purposes of the Exchange Act. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon brokers-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the stock and impede the sale of our stock in the secondary market. Specifically, any broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor, generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customers account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
WE HAVE NEVER PAID ANY DIVIDENDS AND DO NOT INTEND TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE
We have never paid a dividend to our shareholders, and we intend to retain our cash for the continued development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, your return on investment will be solely determined by your ability to sell your shares in a secondary market.
FOR ALL OF THE FOREGOING REASONS AND OTHERS SET FORTH HEREIN, AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES IN ANY MARKET WHICH MAY DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY; RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Price
There is no public market for our common stock and no public market may ever develop. While we will seek to obtain a market maker after the effective date of this prospectus to apply for the inclusion of our common stock in the OTCBB, we may not be successful in our efforts and owners of our common stock may not have a market in which to sell the same. Even if the common stock were quoted in a market, there may never be substantial activity in such market, if there is substantial activity, such activity may not be maintained, and no prediction can be made as to what prices may prevail in such market.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Overview
The Company has been engaged since 2004 in the business of asset management and sales of high-end computerized networking equipment to emerging high technology companies. The focus of the Companys business is to facilitate the liquidation of high-end networking equipment and information technology assets by businesses which are ceasing operations and to resell these assets to evolving technology companies at a fraction of the original cost. In this respect, the Company provides a valuable service to both the financial stakeholders of the selling businesses and the purchasers.
Our Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the highly competitive market for information technology equipment as well as the uncertainty generally associated with the online auction market. These risks include the decline in demand for the Companys inventory, unavailability of products at prices which will support the Companys business plan, if at all, pricing compression in the market for new information technology equipment among major manufacturers, inability to provide appropriate service for products sold, lack of funds to purchase new inventory and inability to turn accounts receivable in a timely manner and the inability to maintain and increase the levels of traffic on our online services, among others.
Plan of Operations
a. General
The extent of our operations over the next twelve (12) months will be determined by our ability to access and purchase new inventory on terms which are attractive in the market and consistent with our business plan. As we expand our business, this will require a continuing access to additional capital, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to access such capital on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. While we cannot predict exactly what our level of activity will be over the next 12 months, past experience leads us to believe that available capital resources will not be adequate to fund working capital requirements for the 12-month period which commenced January 1, 2009.
We will attempt to not incur any cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, which are currently very limited.
The Company does not believe that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results are necessarily meaningful nor should they be relied upon as reliable indicators of future performance, thus making it difficult to accurately forecast quarterly and annual revenues and results of operations. In addition, our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and year-to-year, as a result of several factors, many of which are outside our control, and any of which could materially harm our business. These factors include:
· fluctuations in the demand for high-end information technology equipment such as networking equipment and routers;
· the unpredictability of our success in any new revenue and cost reduction initiatives;
· inability to acquire new inventory on terms which will result in acceptable profit margins on sale;
· obsolescence of our inventory;
· changes in the level of traffic on our website; and
· fluctuations in marketing expenses and technology infrastructure costs.
Our revenues for the foreseeable future will remain primarily dependent on our ability to acquire inventory on a continuing basis and the demand for such information technology equipment in the marketplace and user traffic levels on our website. As aforesaid, future revenues are difficult to forecast. The Company may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected increase in demand for the product lines of the Company or a reduction in revenues in a particular quarter or year, which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
b. Expansion Plans
Our initial activities were largely focused on the Silicon Valley market. Since Silicon Valley is the most important information technology market in the United States, we expect that this will be our principal market for the foreseeable future. We hope to expand the scope of such activities to the U.S. east coast and thereafter, assuming that domestic operations are meeting our business plans, we would hope to expand internationally, with particular focus on Asia and the ASEAN/India markets. This expansion will obviously be subject to our ability to access additional capital and establish contacts and recruit qualified personnel in the new markets. The raising of such additional capital could be on a basis which is dilutive to our then-existing shareholder base.
c. Current and Anticipated Expenses
The Company has embarked upon an effort to become a publicly-traded company and by doing so, has incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. Once the Company becomes a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there will be ongoing expenses associated with the ongoing professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements as well as costs to be incurred for (i) increased marketing and advertising to support any growth in sales for the Company; (ii) potential to hire additional personnel to manage and expand the Company's operations. Current monthly expenses to run the Company average approximately $5,000. Future monthly expenses will be largely dependent on available cash.
d. Officers Compensation and Loans
Neither Mr. Malobrodsky nor Mr. Gorodyansky has received or accrued any compensation to date and has no written contract or any commitment to receive annual compensation. Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky have agreed to forego any salary until such time as the Company has sufficient revenues therefore and/or receives sufficient outside financing.
In the past, our founders have advanced funds to the Company as required. If, and when necessary, our founders may, at their sole option, advance funds to cover additional working capital as deemed necessary. These funds are not expected to exceed $100,000, will be evidenced by a non-interest bearing unsecured corporate note, and will be treated as loans to be repaid, if and when we have the financial resources to do so.
During fiscal year 2004, Sophia Malobrodsky made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $38,000. On January 2, 2006, the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $38,000 for 253,333 shares of the Companys common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.
During fiscal year 2005, Ilya Perlov made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $3,000. On January 2, 2006, the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $3,000 for 20,000 shares of the Companys common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.
On January 2, 2006, Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov made demand for repayment of these obligations. At the time, the Company did not have the funds available for such repayment and the obligations were deemed to be in default. At that time, the Company had not completed its private placement and there was no guarantee that it would be completed on a timely basis, if at all. As a result, Ms. Malobrodsky agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($38,000) owed by the Company to her for 253,333 shares of common stock and Mr. Perlov agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($3,000) owed by the Company to him for 20,000 shares of common stock, both at an exchange rate of one share for each $0.15 of debt. The $0.15 per share conversion price was negotiated at that time on an arms-length basis between Ms. Malobrodsky, Mr. Perlov and the Company which took into account a number of factors, including but not limited to (a) the conversion of obligations which had priority over common equity to a common equity position which is pari-passu with all other equity holders; (b) the illiquidity of the Company at the time (as of December 31, 2005, the Company only had $2,197 cash); (c) the Company believed that the obligations to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov needed to be eliminated in order to complete any private placement of common equity and (d) the Company knew that the prospective investors in the private placement would not permit any of the proceeds of such offering to be utilized for payments to the noteholders. While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares. The shares issued to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov were valued at $.75 per share and the accounting treatment of the exchange was to debit Notes Payable and credit Common Stock par value and Additional Paid-In Capital.
While we cannot predict exactly what our level of activity will be over the next 12 months, past experience leads us to believe that available capital resources will not be adequate to fund working capital requirements for the 12-month period which commenced January 1, 2009. We will therefore need to access additional capital through the issuance of additional equity and debt securities and other forms of outside funding, including additional loans from officers, directors and shareholders of the Company. There is no assurance can be accomplished to the necessary extent, if at all. (See "Liquidity").
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2008, we had $1,902 in cash and $3,821 and no accounts receivable and a negative net working capital of $10,500.
From its inception, the Companys basic business model has been to serve the venture capital community and the information technology firms they fund for both the acquisition of information technology equipment at prices below the factory sale pricing and the disposition/liquidation of such equipment for purposes of recovery of capital investment. The two aspects of this strategy have been (i) to purchase, at liquidation pricing, computer equipment owned by information technology firms which are either ceasing or reducing operations or are merging with other entities with a resulting duplication of equipment and (ii) to facilitate early stage information technology firms acquisition of computer equipment at prices which are less than the cost of new equipment. Venture Capital Funds have been the Companys target market as they are the principal source of funding for companies which would be most likely to utilize the Companys services. The key elements of the Companys strategy are (i) identification of opportunities to acquire equipment, generally in connection with a liquidation of the assets of an information technology company; (ii) acquisition of equipment which has resale value at prices which will facilitate a margin of 40-50% on resale; (iii) access to capital to acquire equipment assets for resale; (iv) resale of the equipment through various channels in a manner which will facilitate a rapid turn-around of funding; (v) to reduce general and
administrative expenses to not more than 15-20% of sales revenues and (vi) maintaining lines of communication with entities who would make decisions relating to equipment purchases and divestitures. While all of the risk factors described in this registration statement apply, the Company believes that its most significant challenge to achievement of viable, long term profitability is access to capital. The Company is essentially a cash business. The Company can acquire equipment at the most favorable basis where it can pay cash at the point of purchase. The Company believes that access to additional capital will enable it to purchase equipment on the most favorable basis and enable the Company to achieve margins within targeted ranges. The Companys operating expenses are reasonably predictable as literally all of its sales are on a cash basis through online or other auction-type channels. Further, the Companys operating expenses do not tend to vary in relationship to sales volume. Therefore, the Company believes that as sales volume increases, so should its margin of profit. Given its current cash position, the Company believes it is questionable whether it can manage expenditures to generate sufficient cash to support its operations for the next twelve months. In this regard, the Companys net income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008 was only $15,113, while we had a negative net working capital at said date of $10,500. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company used $482 cash and used cash in the amount of $1,328 in its financing activities. The major strategic challenge facing the Company is therefore the funding of growthmost particularly, the ability to acquire more inventory for re-sale. The Company believes that for the foreseeable future, the availability of equipment for purchase in its target markets will significantly exceed its financial resources and that the market for used information technology equipment, both in the U.S. and abroad, will continue to be strong and may even be growing. While the Company believes that it may be able to access asset-based working capital lending, this would be limited in amount and would only support current liquidity and would not be a viable source of funding for longer term growth. The Company believes that such funding can only achieved through sale of additional equity. A critical element of success in raising such funding is the liquidity of the Companys common stock. The need for such liquidity is one of the principal reasons why the Company is seeking to become a reporting company and have its shares publicly-traded. While there are no guarantees that it can be achieved, the Company believes that such funding can be accessed in amounts which will enable the Company to achieve growth in its sales and the achievement of long term profitability.
The potential exists that our available capital resources may not be adequate to fund our working capital requirements based upon our present level of operations for the 12-month period subsequent to January 1, 2009. A shortage of capital would affect our ability to fund our working capital requirements. If we require additional capital, funds may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could dilute existing shareholders. If funds are not available, this could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Historically, we have depended on loans from our principal shareholders and their families and acquaintances to provide us with working capital as required. We do not have any credit facilities or other commitments for debt or equity financing. No assurance can be given that financing, when needed, will be available. To date, we have had discussions with potential sources of additional funding, however, the Company does not currently have any firm commitment with respect thereto. None of our shareholders is obligated to make any loans or advances to us and there can be no assurance that any of our shareholders will continue making loans or advances to us in the future.
To meet commitments that are greater than 12 months in the future, we will have to operate our business in such a manner as produce positive cash flow and enhance our exposure in the market. There does not currently appear to be any other viable source of long-term financing except that management may consider various sources of debt and/or equity financing if same can be obtained on terms deemed reasonable to management.
Going Concern. Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008, relative to our ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $10,500. We had an accumulated deficit of $680,336 incurred through such date and recorded a profit of only $15,113 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment. Our auditors have issued a going concern
opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business.
Results of Operations for Comparative Years Ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007
The following table summarizes the results of operations during the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:
Line Item | 12/31/08 (audited) | 12/31/07 (audited) | Increase (Decrease) | Percentage Increase (Decrease) |
|
|
|
|
|
Sales | $518,296 | $160,115 | $358,181 | 223.7% |
Net income (loss) | 15,113 | (28,065) | n/a | n/a |
Operating Expenses | 502,383 | 188,180 | 314,203 | 167.0% |
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock | 1.70 | (0.03) | n/a | n/a |

Comparisons between Cost of Sales Selling, Administrative and General Expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008 and for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007 are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 12 Mos. Ended 12/31/2008 | 12 Mos. Ended 12/31/2007 |
Cost of Sales | $444,548 | $126,839 |
Ratio of Cost of Sales to Sales | 85.8% | 79.2% |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | $57,835 | $61,341 |
We had net income of $15,113 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 as compared with a net loss of $28,065 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. This improvement was largely due to an increase in sales and a small decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Companys sales in any given period is significantly affected by the working capital the Company has available for the purchase of inventory. The Company is known in Silicon Valley, California, as a liquidator of used computer equipment. The principal source of the Companys business leads are Venture Capital firms who have invested in information technology companies which have either ceased or reduced operations or have gone through a business combination which results in the surviving company having duplicative equipment. The Company also generally monitors the information technology industry to identify target companies who might be in the market to liquidate to sell equipment. The principal limitation on the Companys ability to purchase equipment is the availability and access to funds to complete the purchase of inventory. The Companys sales are at least partially dependent on its ability to acquire inventory. Simply put, without inventory, the Company has nothing to sell. While the Company can technically act as a middle-man between the entity divesting equipment and the re-sale market without directly purchasing the equipment, it has found that it cannot achieve the margins on sales by so doing that
it achieves by purchasing the equipment outright and acting as a principal on the re-sale as opposed to an agent
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
Seasonality
Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.
Inflation
Our business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The nature of our business generally does not call for the preparation or use of estimates. Due to the fact that the Company does not have any operating business, we do not believe that we do not have any such critical accounting policies.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Intelligent Buying, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Intelligent Buying, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 Companys 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Intelligent Buying, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has a net capital deficit at December 31, 2008, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plan in regard to these matters is also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business description
The financial statements presented are those of Intelligent Buying, Inc. (the Company). The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on March 22, 2004 and is in the business of acquiring high-end computer and networking equipment from resellers and end-users and then reselling this equipment at discounted prices.
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company reduces revenue for estimated customer returns, rotations and sales rebates when such amounts are estimable. When not estimable, The Company defers revenue until the product is sold to the end customer. The Company does not provide support on products sold unless a separate agreement for installation and setup has been entered into. The revenue from such an agreement would be reported separately as fee income if and when such services are performed, completed and accepted by the customer.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
Comprehensive income
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net earnings, the net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting and is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity in accordance with SFAS No. 130.During the years ended December 31 2008 and 2007 the Company did not have any components of comprehensive income (loss) to report.
Net loss per share
SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (EPS) for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution; diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has adopted SFAS 123 (R) "Share-Based Payment", which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25, and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted and recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair value. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for public companies that file as small business issuers as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Depending upon the number of and terms for options that may be granted in future periods, the implementation of this standard could have a significant non-cash impact on results of operations in future periods
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no stock options granted or outstanding.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51, (SFAS 160), that establishes and expands accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This Statement is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2009. The effect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our financial statements will depend on the nature and size of any acquisitions we complete in the future.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, (SFAS 141R), which impacts the accounting for business combinations. The statement requires changes in the measurement of assets and liabilities required in favor of a fair value method consistent with the guidance provided in SFAS 157. Additionally, the statement requires a change in accounting for certain acquisition related expenses and business adjustments which no longer are considered part of the purchase price. Adoption of this standard is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of this standard is not permitted. The statement requires prospective application for all acquisitions after the date of adoption. The effect the adoption of SFAS 141R will have on our financial statements will depend on the nature and size of any acquisitions we complete in the future.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS 161), which requires enhanced disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities in order to improve the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (SFAS No. 162), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), (FSP 14-1) which specifies that issuers of these instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP 14-1 is also to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented except if these instruments were not outstanding during any of the periods that are presented in the annual financial statements for the period of adoption but were outstanding during an earlier period. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock, (EITF 07-5). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No 133, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities, (SFAS 133) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Companys own stock and (b) classified in stockholders equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuers own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited. While the Company is currently still evaluating the effects of adoption of EITF 07-5, it is expected that adoption may result in the reclassification of the Companys warrants from equity to liabilities recorded at fair value and additionally could result in bifurcation and fair value accounting for the conversion rights embedded in the Companys Series A preferred stock.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of computer and networking equipment, are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (replacement cost).

INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company recorded no income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008 due to the use of available net operating loss carryforwards. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred a net loss and no tax provision was required.

INCOME TAXES (CONT)
Net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $660,000 at December 31, 2008 are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and expire in 2027. This results in a net deferred tax asset, assuming an effective tax rate of 34% of approximately $225,000 at December 31, 2008. A valuation allowance in the same amount has been provided to reduce the deferred tax asset, as realization of the asset is not assured.

STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIENCY)
Preferred stock
At December 31, 2008, the Company had 2,500,000 shares of its preferred stock issued and outstanding. The preferred shares were issued in exchange for the 20,000 shares of common stock held by the Companys founders. At the time of the exchange, such 20,000 shares comprised all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, and as a result, the exchange was treated as an equal value exchange with the 2,500,000 preferred shares having the same value as the 20,000 shares of common stock for which they were exchanged. The only journal entries made at the time of the exchange were to take into account the par value of each of the shares exchanged.
The following is a list of significant designations, rights and preference of the presently issued preferred shares:
· Each holder shall have two votes for each share of preferred stock.
· Liquidation preference--In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment out of the assets of the Company may be made to or set aside for the holders of any common stock, to receive in full an amount equal to $2.00 per share, together with an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends accrued to the date of payment.
· Convertible at the option of the holder into two shares of common stock at any time following the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All unconverted shares of preferred stock shall automatically convert into two shares of common stock on the earlier to occur of April 1, 2008 or any change in control (as in the Certificate of Determination).
Additionally, from time to time the Board of Directors may designate additional classes of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences to be determined by the Companys board of directors. The issuance of the preferred stock and additional shares of the preferred stock in the future could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
INTELLIGENT BUYING, INC.
REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
Management prepared, and is responsible for, the financial statements and the other information appearing in this annual report. The financial statements present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing its financial statements, the Company includes amounts that are based on estimates and judgments that Management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Companys financial statements have been audited by Paritz & Co., an independent registered public accounting firm appointed by the Companys Board of Directors. Management has made available to Paritz & Co. all of the Companys financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of the stockholders and Directors meetings.
MANAGEMENTS ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Companys internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Companys Management and Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. This assessment was based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, we believe that as of December 31, 2008 the Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

David Gorodyansky 27 President, Chief Operating Officer
and Chief Financial Officer and Director

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors, which currently consists of Messrs Malobrodsky and Gordyansky, handle the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors. Before retaining any such expert our board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and greater than 10% stockholders, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the reports are required by SEC regulation to be furnished to the Company. Based on management's review of these reports during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all reports required to be filed were filed on a timely basis.
Code of Ethics
Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that our officers, directors and any person who may perform similar functions is subject to. Currently, Messrs Malobrodsky and Gordyansky are our only officers and directors, therefore, they are the only persons subject to the Code of Ethics. If we retain additional officers in the future to act as our principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons serving similar functions, they would become subject to the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics does not indicate the consequences of a breach of the code. If there is a breach, the board of directors would review the facts and circumstances surrounding the breach and take action that it deems appropriate, which action may include dismissal of the employee who breached the code. Currently, since Mr. Colligan serves as the sole director and sole officer, he is responsible for reviewing his own conduct under the Code of Ethics and determining what action to take in the event of his own breach of the Code of Ethics.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
The following table sets forth information concerning all cash and non-cash compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our officers for services during the last three fiscal years in all capacities to us, our subsidiaries and predecessors.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
Certain Relationships and Transactions with Related Persons
Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky, the sole officers and directors of the Company, are Senior Vice President and President, respectively, of AnchorFree Wireless, Inc., a related company. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, AnchorFree Wireless, Inc. accounted for approximately 1% and 74% of the Companys sales, respectively. Sophia Malobrodsky, a shareholder of the company holding approximately 28.48% of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock is the mother of Eugene Malobrodsky, the Companys Chief Executive Officer. Royce Diener, an owner of 4,000 shares of common stock of the Company is the father of the Companys counsel, Robert L. B. Diener.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company owes approximately $4,610 to AnchorFree Wireless, Inc., a company controlled by the principal shareholders and officers of the Company. These amounts represent short-term advances in the ordinary course of business and fluctuate significantly. This amount will be used to offset future purchases by AnchorFree Wireless, Inc.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
1. On March 22, 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock to each of the Companys founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky for a cash consideration of $200. At the time, the founders became the sole shareholders of the Company.
2. During fiscal year 2004, Sophia Malobrodsky made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $38,000. On January 2, 2006. the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $38,000 for 253,333 shares of the Companys common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.
During fiscal year 2005, Ilya Perlov made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $3,000. Mr. Perlov is an employee of the Company. On January 2, 2006. the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $3,000 for 20,000 shares of the Companys common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.
On January 2, 2006, Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov made demand for repayment of these obligations. At the time, the Company did not have the funds available for such repayment and the obligations were deemed to be in default. At that time, the Company had not completed its private placement and there was no guarantee that it would be completed on a timely basis, if at all. As a result, Ms. Malobrodsky agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($38,000) owed by the Company to her for 253,333 shares of common stock and Mr. Perlov agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($3,000) owed by the Company to him for 20,000 shares of common stock, both at an exchange rate of one share for each $0.15 of debt. The $0.15 per share conversion price was negotiated at that time on an arms-length basis between Ms. Malobrodsky, Mr. Perlov and the Company which took into account a number of factors, including but not limited to (a) the conversion of obligations which had priority over common equity to a common equity position which is pari-passu with all other equity holders; (b) the illiquidity of the Company at the time (as of December 31, 2005, the Company only had $2,197 cash); (c) the Company believed that the obligations to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov needed to be eliminated in order to complete any private placement of common equity and (d) the Company knew that the prospective investors in the private placement would not permit any of the proceeds of such offering to be utilized for payments to the noteholders. While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a
transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares. The shares issued to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov were valued at $.75 per share and the accounting treatment of the exchange was to debit Notes Payable and credit Common Stock par value and Additional Paid-In Capital.
3. On April 1, 2006, the company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to Altitude Group, LLC pursuant to the terms of a Financial Services Agreement entered into by the Company on said date. The term of the Agreement is for a period commencing March 22, 2006 and ending on March 21, 2008 and may only be extended upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties. In consideration for Altitude providing the services set forth in the Agreement, the Company was obligated to issue to Altitude 500,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock of the Company. The Company has valued the services provided and to be provided by Altitude as $375,000 which was recorded as an expense in the Companys quarter ended June 30, 2006. This valuation was determined in accordance with FASB 123Accounting for Stock-based Compensation.
4. On March 22, 2006, the Company exchanged 1,250,000 shares of its preferred stock for the 10,000 shares of common stock held by each of the Companys founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky. The 20,000 common shares exchanged by the founders were originally purchased for $200 cash.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors is currently composed of 2 members, Mr. Malobrodsky and Mr. Gorodyansky. None of our directors are independent directors, as that term is defined under the Nasdaq listing standards.

TAX FEES
There were no tax preparation fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
ALL OTHER FEES
During the last two fiscal years, no other fees were billed or incurred for services by our auditors other than the fees noted above. Our board, acting as an audit committee, deemed the fees charged to be compatible with maintenance of the independence of our auditors.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES
We do not have a separate audit committee. Our full board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Before an independent auditor is engaged by us to render audit or non-audit services, our board of directors pre-approves the engagement. Board of directors pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into
pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by our board of directors regarding our engagement of the independent auditor, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, our board of directors is informed of each service provided, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of our board of directors' responsibilities under the Exchange Act to our management. Our board of directors may delegate to one or more designated members of our board of directors the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the board of directors at a subsequent meeting. If our board of directors elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the board of directors must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Board of directors pre-approval of non-audit services, other than review and attest services, also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, 100% of audit-related services, tax services and other services performed by our independent auditors were pre-approved by our board of directors.
Our board has considered whether the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees", which are currently none, is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.
The board approved all fees described above.
