After the effectiveness of this S-1 registration statement, management anticipates an increase in operating expenses related to the following categories within the next twelve months:

 

ACCOUNTING AND LEGAL EXPENSES- Our estimate these related expenses will range from $4,500 for the next 12 months. After the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will become a public company. We will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting.

 

CREATE OUR CORPORATE WEBSITE- It is part of our business plan to have our website. A website can convey our corporate images and services to our potential customers. We believe our estimated cost of $1,250 will be sufficient to cover our projected expense for website design.

 

SURVEYOR'S FEES- We are required to obtain surveyors' services related to subdivision of land. Our estimated cost for a surveyor' services will be $4,500. The Planning Commission for the City of Houston is responsible for the review and approval of application for subdivision of land.

 

ARCHITECT DRAWINGS- We are required to obtain several sets of architect drawings in connection with our proposed construction projects. We estimated the cost for architect drawings will be $5,000 to$7,500 per year.

 

PROJECT CONSULTANTS- Once we have obtained the necessary building permits from the City of Houston, we will be ready to build our residential homes. We will require to hire project consultants to monitor the quality control of our construction projects. We intend to spent $6,300 to $12,600 annually for project consultants.

 

MARKETING AND PROMOTION- After the effectiveness of this pending S-1 registration, we will be begin our marketing and promotion activities. Our staff will distribute our promotional fliers on foot, spending afternoons knocking on the doors of residences in targeted neighborhoods, as well as residences already in designated HOPE and Workforce areas. Speaking with potential buyers directly is the best way to inform and engage the communities. When speaking to residents, we will explain the Houston HOPE and Workforce programs, specifically mentioning how these programs can benefit them as future owners of our new homes and services. We will then outline in further detail the government assistance option available to them. The government can offer up to $30,000 for down payments and unlike renting, home ownership allows one to build up home equity.

 

 

The following table shows the projection of our building activities for three years:

 

 

1st Year milestone

 

2nd Year milestone

 

3rd year milestone
Number of residential homes 2- 3 homes 3-5 homes 5-8 homes
