Our Business
On June 11, 2012, BLVD Holdings, Inc. (“BVLD” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at 3500 West Olive Avenue, 3rd Floor, Burbank, CA 91505, our telephone number is (818) 381-9360 and our fax number is (818) 381-9368.
BLVD is a developmental stage Nevada corporation that is focused on developing business within the fashion and entertainment industries. BLVD is currently developing several film scripts. It is anticipated that as the Company grows, its advisory board and management team will be expanded to consist of additional members who have expertise in the film/music and fashion industry, as well as national franchising and entrepreneurial experience. Based on the comprehensive due diligence performed by the advisory board, the executive management committee will select or develop assets that compliment a realistic but aggressive business model for inclusion into the BLVD portfolio. Executive oversight recommendations will then be drafted and resources committed including, but not limited to financing, franchising options, synergistic joint venture introductions, and distribution network expansion opportunities.
We need additional capital to undertake our business plan and to acquire and develop target assets for the BLVD portfolio. The Company plans to obtain capital to fund future operations through sales of our common stock.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
BLVD is currently developing several film scripts in-house. On August 15, 2012, BLVD sold its first film script for $10,000. The film script was sold to Lusso Media, Inc. pursuant to a script purchase agreement. BLVD hopes to sell additional film scripts in the near future.
Additionally, BLVD will look to add other entertainment and fashion assets to its portfolio including distribution channels, fashion designers, individual talent, licenses and intellectual property. Potential portfolio assets will be subjected to a rigorous due diligence process to validate their integrity and capitalization potential. BLVD’s advisory board will conduct this analysis, and the information will be provided to the executive management committee. If the target asset meets the strict criteria and approval is unanimous by the executive committee, BLVD will then proceed with an equitable offer to acquire the target asset and commit to a strategy that will help integrate it into BLVD’s business plan so that we may meet our goals.
OVERVIEW
BLVD, a Nevada corporation, is a developmental stage company based in Burbank, California, with the principal business objective of becoming a media, entertainment and fashion company positioned for high growth and profitability as a result of judiciously developing, selecting, acquiring and managing assets capable of providing dynamic growth potential. Through a thorough due diligence process, BLVD hopes to emerge as a highly successful company with a well-diversified, profitable and growing portfolio of entertainment and fashion assets.
BLVD’S first business is the development of film scripts. BLVD is currently developing several film scripts internally. BLVD sold the first of such film scripts on August 15, 2012 for $10,000. BLVD will also look to develop business in the exciting model & talent industry. Each year billions of dollars are spent in the advertising and entertainment industries for models, actors, musicians, dancers, etc. Magazines, newspapers, movies, billboards, catalogues, sales brochures and TV commercials all have a need for models or performing talent. BLVD will attempt to capitalize on this huge demand by engaging qualified individuals that BLVD will be apply to supply in order to satisfy the growing need.
BLVD may also attempt to establish a national franchising system for model and talent scouting. BLVD anticipates that this concept could be highly rewarding and successful for the franchise owners. Each franchisee will be awarded an exclusive large territory to promote his “model and talent search”. This will help every franchisee potentially achieve high earnings and it will insure that each franchisee is not competing with fellow owners in overlapping or nearby territories.
Franchising is one of the fastest and most effective methods of generating growth and rapid expansion. According to Forbes, nearly half of all U.S. sales or about $1 trillion is spent annually at franchised retail locations. Also, there are currently 750,000 franchised businesses operating in the United States.
4 |
These multiple revenue sources could ensure a strong and profitable operation. The initial franchise license fee is anticipated to be $25,000 increasing gradually to $35,000, as corporate expansion accelerates. In addition, each franchisee will be required to pay ongoing royalties each week in an amount equal to 7% of their gross income. This can be quite significant as demonstrated by the following realistic example for one territory:
Assuming three search events per week for 42 weeks annually = 126 total events — with an average of 40 registrants per event = 5,040 total registrants/year. Each registrant pays an initial fee of $39.50 (X 5,040) = $199,080.00. Then 2,772 follow-up fees paid at $49.50 = $137,214.00 for a total income of $336,294.00. In this example, 7% royalties paid to BLVD would equate to $23,540.58. These projections are not only realistic, but lean toward the conservative side based on thorough analysis of market potential and conditions.
Furthermore, each franchisee will be required to pay ongoing Advertising Fund payments in an amount equal to 2% of their gross income on a weekly basis. These funds will be utilized to “brand” the corporate name. Based on the previous example, 2% of $336,294.00 equates to $6,725.88 per franchise/year.
Additional income sources would come from:
§ | Master Franchise Licensing |
§ | Supply of printed literature to franchisees |
§ | Development of strategic industry partnership programs |
§ | Model and Talent Management Agency Company |
MARKETING
BLVD will market the entertainment industry and fashion and clothing design manufacturers worldwide. It is anticipated that as the Company grows, its advisory board and management team will be expanded to consist of additional members who have expertise in the film/music and fashion industry, as well as national franchising and entrepreneurial experience, which will provide BLVD the advantage and benefit of its executives’ stature and all their connective networks within the industries.
GROWTH STRATEGY OF THE COMPANY
Our mission is to maximize shareholder value through a growing portfolio of prudently selected and developed assets that could provide dynamic growth potential. BLVD will operate in both the entertainment and fashion industries which could result in multiple revenue generating sources including franchising opportunities, film script sales, global licensing of entertainment properties, merchandising distribution, independent film distribution, modeling and beauty pageants, high fashion and designer product distribution networks, concerts and talent management. We believe that growing a strong and diversified portfolio will ensure a profitable operation and solidify the pillars for BLVD to weather occasional turns in the economy for long-tern success.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities is highly speculative and subject to numerous and substantial risks. These risks are set forth below. You should not invest in the Company unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. Readers are encouraged to review these risks carefully before making any investment decision.
Risks of Purchasing Shares
Possible Loss of Entire Investment
This offering is intended for investors who can accept the applicable risks. Prospective investors should not subscribe unless they can readily bear the consequences of the loss of their entire investment.
Exchange Fluctuations
Shares will be priced in US dollars, and persons investing by converting foreign currency will bear the risk of such conversion. The value of such investments may be affected favorably or unfavorably by fluctuations in exchange currencies. In addition, prospective investors whose assets and liabilities are primarily denominated in currencies other than US Dollars should take into account the potential risk of loss arising from fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the currency of the investment and such other currency.
Additional Dilution as Additional Shares are Issued Which May Decrease the Market Price of our Common Stock
Additional offerings will likely have to be made in the future to raise capital to meet operating cash flow needs. Such offerings may include warrants for issuance of additional common stock, further diluting the number of shares of common stock outstanding from time to time. An increase in the number of our shares of common stock from these events or others may result in a decrease of the market price for our common stock and will dilute the ownership interest of current shareholders.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale under Rule 144 May Adversely Affect the Market for our Securities
From time to time, certain of our stockholders who hold restricted securities may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, subject to certain limitations. Although current stockholders may have no current intention or ability to sell their shares, any substantial sales by holders of our common stock in the future pursuant to Rule 144 may have a material adverse affect on the market price of our securities.
The Price of our Common Stock could be subjected to Volatility
The market for BLVD’s common stock could be highly volatile. The trading price of BLVD’s common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, quarterly variations in operating and financial results and general economic and market conditions. In addition, statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to their markets or relating to BLVD could result in an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The potentially highly volatile nature of BLVD’s stock prices may cause investment losses for our shareholders. If securities class action litigation is brought against BLVD, such litigation could result in substantial costs while diverting management's attention and resources.
Disruptions in Global Financial Markets and Deteriorating Global Economic Conditions could cause Lower Returns to Investors
Disruptions in global financial markets and deteriorating global economic conditions could adversely affect the value of BLVD’s common stock. The current state of the economy and the implications of future potential weakening may negatively impact market fundamentals, resulting in lower revenues and values for BLVD’s business opportunities and investments.
If Securities or Industry Analysts do not publish Research or Reports about BLVD’s Business or if they issue an Adverse or Misleading Opinion Regarding BLVD Stock, its Price and Trading Volume could Decline
The trading market for BLVD’s common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about BLVD or its business, if any. Negative reports could have a negative impact on BLVD’s stock price.
8 |
Our Shares will be deemed to be "Penny Stocks" as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, as a Result, will be Subject to Various Eligibility and Disclosure Requirements on Broker-Dealers engaged in the Resale of these Shares
The shares offered in this prospectus will be "penny stocks" as that term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the ‘Exchange Act”) to mean, among other definitions, equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or an accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and provide special disclosure documents to the purchaser. The imposition of these suitability standards and special disclosures could reduce an investor's ability to resale the shares at a time or price desired. See the section "Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters."
We do not foresee paying Cash Dividends in the Foreseeable Future and, as a Result, Investors' Sole Source of Gain, if any, will depend on Capital Appreciation, if any
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth. As a result, investors should not rely on an investment in our securities if they require the investment to produce dividend income. Capital appreciation, if any, of our shares may be investors' sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Moreover, investors may not be able to resell their shares of the Company at or above the price they paid for them.
There may be an absence of a trading market, which would eliminate or adversely impact your ability to sell your shares
There currently is no trading market for our stock. While we intend to utilize a marker maker to apply for listing on the OTC Markets (“OTCQB”) following completion of this offering, we cannot assure you that a public market will ever develop. You will likely not be able to sell your securities if a regular trading market for our securities does not develop and we cannot predict the extent, if any, to which investor interest will lead to the development of a viable trading market in our shares. We expect the initial market for our stock to be limited, if a market develops at all. Even if a limited trading market does develop, there is a risk that the absence of potential buyers will prevent you from selling your shares if you determine to reduce or eliminate your investment in BLVD. Additionally, the IPO offering price of $.03 per share may not reflect the current value of our shares after the offering. This lack of a trading market and a lack of an adequate number of potential buyers may result in the inability to sell your shares when desired or result in your receiving a lower price for your shares upon their sale than you paid in this offering.
If we fail to remain Current on our Reporting Requirements, we could be removed from Quotation by the OTCQB, which would limit the Ability of Broker-Dealers to sell our Securities and the Ability of Shareholders to sell their Securities in the Secondary Market
Companies quoted on the OTCQB must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Risks Relating to BLVD Holdings, Inc.
Concentration of Ownership may Allow Several Shareholders to Control BLVD’s Business
M. Ann Courtney, President, holds one hundred percent (100%) interest of BLVD. Following the offering, Ms. Courtney will still hold a majority of the interest of BLVD. As a result, this shareholder will be able to exercise control over virtually all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporation transactions. Thus, the present management will be able to maintain her positions as Director and effectively operate BLVD’s business, regardless of other investors’ preferences.
Our Officer and Director has only Limited Experience in the Management of Film and Music Distribution, Fashion and Clothing Design Businesses
Although our President has experience in establishing and growing a consulting company, our President has only limited experience or no experience in establishing and growing film and music distribution, fashion and clothing design businesses. As a result, the Company will be relying heavily on the experience and business acumen of the President and our future advisory board, officers and directors to establish an effective ongoing business strategy for our future portfolio operations. The Company currently does not carry insurance to compensate for the loss of services provided by the President.
9 |
The Film and Music Distribution, Fashion and Clothing Design Businesses can be Speculative and there is a Consequent Risk of Loss of your Investment
The success of BLVD’s plan of operation will depend to a great extent on its operations, financial condition and management. The film and music distribution, fashion and clothing design industries can be very speculative with changing trends, new and developing technologies, and other factors determining the success or failure of various types of film and music distribution, fashion and clothing design businesses. Consequently, there is no assurance that the interest in BLVD will find a significant client base.
Business and Financial Risk of Business Plan
The operations of BLVD and its assets may present a high degree of business and financial risk. There may be significant variations in operating results based on the assets held by BLVD. BLVD may require substantial additional capital to support operations, to finance expansion or to maintain its competitive position. BLVD may otherwise develop a weak financial condition.
Operating Deficits
The expenses of operating BLVD may exceed BLVD's income which would decrease the value of BLVD and the value of BLVD’s common stock.
Our Independent Auditors have included a Going Concern Opinion and Related Discussion in the Notes to our Financial Statements which may be Indicative of our Uncertain Financial Future
It should be noted that our independent auditors have included a going concern opinion and related discussion in the notes to our financial statements. The auditors have included the going concern provision because the Company showed an accumulated deficit.
Until such time we receive additional debt or equity financing, there is a risk that our auditors will continue to include a going concern provision in the notes to our financial statements. We may continue to incur losses as we spend additional capital to develop and market our products and services and establish our infrastructure and organization to support anticipated operations. We cannot be certain whether we will ever earn a significant amount of revenues or profit, or, if we do, that we will be able to continue earning such revenues or profit. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and result in your losing a portion or all of your investment.
BLVD May Face Intense Competition
Companies with greater financial resources, more extensive development, marketing, and other capabilities and a larger number of qualified managerial and personnel than BLVD may compete directly with BLVD.
Possible Regulatory Changes
The SEC and other regulators, from time to time, review the public company arena and our relationship to the securities markets and investors. As a result of such reviews, the SEC and such regulators may propose additional regulations that would affect BLVD and our operations and the operations of our portfolio companies. Such regulations could increase the cost of operating BLVD and subject it to new regulatory filing or registration requirements.
Downturn in General Economic Conditions
Returns to BLVD depend upon our performance. Our financial condition and operating results, and therefore, our performance, would likely be adversely affected in the event of a downturn in the general economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere.
BLVD’s Success is Dependent upon our Ability to Retain Key Personnel.
BLVD’s future business and operating results depend significantly on the continued contributions of our key personnel, including the President. This individual would be difficult or impossible to replace. The loss of these key contributors, or the failure of any of them to perform, could materially adversely affect BLVD’s performance. While BLVD may obtain Key Man insurance, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover the loss incurred in the event an executive officer is lost.
Projections May be Inaccurate
Projections are only estimates of future results and are based upon assumptions made at the time the projections are developed. There can be no assurance that the results set forth in the projections will be attained, and actual results may be significantly different from the projections.
10 |
There may be Litigation
BLVD may be subject to a variety of litigation risks. Legal disputes, involving BLVD, the officers or directors of BLVD, the advisory board of BLVD, the portfolio companies of BLVD or BLVD’s joint venture partners, may arise and could have a significant adverse effect on BLVD.
Indemnification
BLVD may be required to indemnify, among others, the officer and director for liabilities incurred in connection with the affairs of BLVD. Such liabilities may be material. The indemnification obligations of BLVD would be payable from the assets of BLVD.
Confidential Information
To the extent that confidentiality provisions intended to protect proprietary and other information relating to BLVD is publicly disclosed, competitors of BLVD may benefit from such information, thereby adversely affecting BLVD and the economic interests of BLVD’s shareholders.
Changes in Tax Rules or Interpretations
Federal income tax legislation may be amended, or its interpretation changed, so as to alter fundamentally the tax consequences of holding or disposing of shares of common stock. The investor should consult his, her or its own tax counsel for tax matters via this investment opportunity.
Additional Funding may not be Available on Acceptable Terms or at All
BLVD may need additional funding due to a number of factors, including a shortfall in revenue or increased expenses. Additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If BLVD is unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business would be harmed. Even if BLVD is able to find outside funding sources, BLVD might be required to issue securities in a transaction that could be highly dilutive to our investors or BLVD may be required to issue securities with greater rights than the securities outstanding today. BLVD might also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of the common stock, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable.
If BLVD Fails to Maintain Proper and Effective Internal Controls, BLVD’s Ability to Produce Accurate Financial Statements Could be Impaired, Which Could Adversely Affect BLVD’s Operating Results, Ability to Operate our Business and Investors’ Views of BLVD
BLVD must ensure that adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures are in place so that it can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis. BLVD must spend considerable effort on establishing and maintaining internal controls, which is costly and time-consuming and needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Implementing any appropriate changes to the internal controls may entail substantial costs to modify BLVD’s existing financial and accounting systems, take a significant period of time to complete, and distract BLVD’s officers, directors and employees from the operation of our business. These changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of BLVD’s internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or a consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase operating costs and could materially impair BLVD’s ability to operate our business. In addition, investors’ perceptions that BLVD’s internal controls are inadequate or that it is unable to produce accurate financial statements may seriously affect the stock price.
Changes in Financial Accounting Standards or Practices may Cause Adverse, Unexpected Financial Reporting Fluctuations and Affect BLVD’s Reported Results of Operations
A change in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on BLVD’s operating results and may affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of existing accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect BLVD’s reported financial results or the way we conducts our business.
BLVD Will Incur Significant Costs as a Result of Operating as a Public Company, and our Management is Required to Devote Substantial Time to Compliance Initiatives
As a public company, BLVD will incur significant accounting and other expenses. These expenses include increased accounting, legal and other professional fees, insurance premiums and investor relations costs. BLVD’s management needs to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance issues. Moreover, BLVD’s legal and financial compliance costs are material.
11 |
As Part of BLVD’s Business Strategy, it Will Acquire a Variety of Assets and may have Difficulty Integrating these Assets
BLVD will attempt to acquire assets that it believes will position BLVD for high growth and profitability. Acquisitions involve a number of risks to BLVD’s business, including the difficulty of integrating the operations and development of the acquired assets, the potential disruption of BLVD’s ongoing business, the potential distraction of management and expenses related to the acquisition. Any inability to integrate assets or personnel in an efficient and timely manner could harm BLVD’s results of operations. If BLVD is not successful in completing acquisitions that we may pursue in the future, we may be required to reevaluate our business strategy, and BLVD may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources without a productive result. In addition, future acquisitions will require the use of available cash or dilutive issuances of securities. Future acquisitions or attempted acquisitions could also harm BLVD’s ability to achieve profitability. BLVD may also experience significant turnover from the acquired operations or from our current operations as we integrate businesses.
Because we are not Subject to Compliance with Rules requiring the Adoption of Certain Corporate Governance Measures, our Stockholders have Limited Protection against Interested Director Transactions, Conflicts of Interest and Similar Matters
We do not currently have audit or compensation committees. As a result, our director(s) have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
There is Competition in the Film and Music Distribution, Fashion and Clothing Design Industries Which May Adversely Affect the Business Operations of BLVD and your Investment in BLVD
There are numerous competitors in the industry in which BLVD is currently involved. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm BLVD’s net revenue and results of operations. Further, BLVD may face a significant competitive challenge from alliances entered into between and among our competitors, as well as from larger competitors created through industry consolidation.
If BLVD is unable to Attract Customers our Revenue could be Lower than Expected and our Operating Results may Suffer
BLVD will need to attract customers to increase BLVD’s revenue. If prospective customers do not perceive our services or assets to be of sufficiently high value and quality, they may not be able to attract customers.
BLVD’s Business Requires the Continued Development of Effective Business Support Systems to Support Growth and Related Services
The growth of BLVD’s business depends on BLVD’s ability to continue to develop effective business support systems. This is a complicated undertaking requiring significant resources and expertise. The failure to continue to develop effective business support systems could harm BLVD’s ability to meet the financial goals and objectives.
The Impact of Governmental Regulation could adversely affect BLVD’s Business
Our business may be subjected to applicable laws and regulations, including tariffs, laws and regulations on taxation, distribution and safety matters.
The Cost of Compliance with Changes in Governmental Regulations has a Potential to Reduce the Profitability of BLVD’s Businesses
Because the requirements imposed by these laws and regulations frequently change, BLVD cannot assure you that laws and regulations enacted in the future, including changes to existing laws and regulations, will not adversely affect its business.
BLVD may be Unable to Obtain Qualified Staff in a Timely and Cost Efficient Manner
BLVD’s management must rely on personnel to assist them in making critical decisions and must be able to provide specific services in a timely manner. BLVD may not be able to obtain qualified staff in a timely and cost efficient manner. In the event this occurs, there could be an adverse effect on the ability of BLVD to meet our customer’s demand.
12 |
Film and Music Distribution, Fashion and Clothing Design Activities All Involve a High Degree of Risk
BLVD cannot assure you of the success of its business. Costs are not fixed. The cost of providing our services is subject to numerous variables, including the costs of raw materials, which could result in substantial cost overruns.
BLVD’s Operations may be Curtailed or Delayed
BLVD’s distribution activities may be curtailed or delayed, as a result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond its control, including economic conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages or delays of trucks, ships and planes.
Certain Nevada Corporation Law Provisions could prevent a Potential Takeover, Which could adversely affect the Market Price of Our Common Stock.
We are incorporated in the State of Nevada. Certain provisions of Nevada corporation law could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Because Nevada corporation law requires board approval of a transaction involving a change in our control, it would be more difficult for someone to acquire control of us. Nevada corporate law also discourages proxy contests making it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors other than the candidate or candidates nominated by our board of directors.
The Costs and Expenses of SEC Reporting and Compliance may inhibit Our Operations.
After the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The costs of complying with such requirements may be substantial. In the event we are unable to establish a base of operations that generates sufficient cash flows or cannot obtain additional equity or debt financing, the costs of maintaining our status as a reporting entity may inhibit out ability to continue our operations.

Until these proceeds are utilized, they will be temporarily invested in short-term, highly liquid investments with appropriate safety of principal. Any income derived from these short term investments will be used for working capital.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Our initial offering price of $.03 per share was arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to our current assets, earnings, book value or any other objective standard of value. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our securities.
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
We are offering our common stock at a price per share that is significantly more than the price per share paid by our current stockholder for our common stock. We are offering for sale up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock with proceeds going to the company. If you purchase Shares in this Offering you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
Dilution represents the difference between the price per share paid by purchasers in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share. Net tangible book value per share represents our net tangible assets (our total tangible assets less our total liabilities), divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of the offering. Based upon 5,750,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on July 31, 2012, our net tangible book value per share was $.0036. After giving effect to the sale of all 3,000,000 Shares being offered in this offering at $0.03 per share and the payment of expenses related to the Offering, our pro forma net tangible book value would be $.0024
The following table illustrates the pro forma per share dilution described above assuming 3,000,000 shares are sold:
3,000,000 | ||||
Shares Sold | ||||
Offering Price per share | $ | 0.03 | ||
Net tangible book value per share before the offering | $ | 0.0036 | ||
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after the offering | $ | 0.0024 | ||
Dilution per share to new investors | $ | 0.00319 |

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company fully intends to have the Shares quoted on the OTCQB. To be quoted on the OTCQB, the Company must have a market maker file an application on its behalf. The Company has identified a few potential market makers. The shares being offered in this prospectus are not currently listed or quoted on any stock exchange nor traded in any public market. If no trading market develops for our common stock, it will be difficult to sell your shares or, if sold, it may be difficult to resell the shares for a price at or above the current offering price. Even if a trading market is established, there is no assurance that such trading market can be sustained.
We are offering up to a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in a best efforts, direct public offering, without any involvement of underwriters. The offering price is $.03 per share. The offering will terminate within 180 days from the date of this prospectus. We also have the right to terminate this offering at any time prior to the expiration of the offering period. We will use our best efforts to sell as many shares as possible up to the maximum offering amount of 3,000,000 shares. We may accept or reject any subscription amount from any investor in our sole discretion or we may accept only part of a subscription amount. Expenses related to the offering are estimated to be $22,500.
We will sell the shares in this Offering primarily through our officer and director. She will receive no commission from the sale of any Shares. She will not register as a broker/dealer under the 1934 Act in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1 under the 1934 Act. The Company will register as the issuer-agent in those states requiring such registration. However, we may pay commissions and expenses of up to 10% of all proceeds raised by brokers, dealers, finders or selling agents who may participate in this Offering.
We anticipate that our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules regulate broker/dealer practices for transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker/dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson 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 completing 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, the broker and/or 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. The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number of broker-dealers who may be willing to engage in the trading of our shares. These additional penny stock disclosure requirements are burdensome and may reduce all of the trading activity in the market for our common stock. As long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
Our officer and director may purchase shares in this offering, however any such purchases will be held for investment purposes only.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers or persons exempt from such registration. In addition, in certain states the Shares may not be sold unless the Shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Procedures for Subscribing
If you decide to subscribe for any Shares in this Offering, you must:
1. Execute and deliver a subscription agreement, and
16 |
2. Deliver a check or certified funds to us. Any subscription may be accepted or rejected, in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of management.
All checks for subscriptions must be made payable to "BLVD Holdings, Inc."
Right to Reject Subscriptions
We have the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without interest or deductions. Subscriptions for shares will be accepted or rejected within five business days after we receive them. Furthermore, once a subscription agreement is accepted, it will be executed without reconfirmation to or from the subscriber. Once BLVD accepts a subscription, the subscriber cannot withdraw it unless otherwise dictated by state law.
BUSINESS
HISTORY
On June 11, 2012, BLVD Holdings, Inc. (“BVLD” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at 3500 West Olive Avenue, 3rd Floor, Burbank, CA 91505, our telephone number is (818) 381-9360 and our fax number is (818) 381-9368.
BLVD is a developmental stage Nevada corporation that is focused on developing business in the fashion and entertainment industries with specific emphasis on film and music distribution, as well as fashion and clothing design by acquiring and developing related assets. It is anticipated that as the Company grows over the next twelve months, its advisory board and management team will be expanded to consist of additional members who have expertise in the film/music and fashion industry, as well as national franchising and entrepreneurial experience. Based on the comprehensive due diligence performed by the advisory board, the executive management committee will select and/or develop assets that compliment a realistic but aggressive business model for inclusion into the BLVD portfolio. Executive oversight recommendations will then be drafted and resources committed including, but not limited to financing, franchising options, synergistic joint venture introductions, and distribution network expansion opportunities.
We are a development stage company. Other than the development of several film scripts and the sale of one such film script on August 15, 2012 for $10,000, we have not commenced our planned principal strategic operations. Other than the script development mentioned above, our operations to date have been devoted primarily to startup and development activities, which include the following:
1. Formation of the Company;
2. Development of our business plan;
3. Marketing our business services to potential clients.
We are attempting to build BLVD to become fully operational. In order to generate revenues, we must address the following areas: product development, marketing, growth strategy and competition.
Assuming we raise the entire $90,000, the proceeds from this offering will satisfy our cash requirements for approximately eighteen (18) months. We will need additional capital to undertake our business plan and to acquire and/or develop assets in the next six months.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
BLVD is currently developing several film scripts in-house. On August 15, 2012, BLVD sold its first film script for $10,000. The film script was sold to Lusso Media, Inc. pursuant to a script purchase agreement. BLVD hopes to sell additional film scripts in the near future.
17 |
Additionally, BLVD will look to add other entertainment and fashion assets to its portfolio including distribution channels, fashion designers, individual talent, licenses and intellectual property. Potential portfolio assets will be subjected to a rigorous due diligence process to validate their integrity and capitalization potential. BLVD’s advisory board will conduct this analysis, and the information will be provided to the executive management committee. If the target asset meets the strict criteria and approval is unanimous by the executive committee, BLVD will then proceed with an equitable offer to acquire the target asset and commit to a strategy that will help integrate it into BLVD’s business plan so that we may meet our goals.
OVERVIEW
BLVD, a Nevada corporation, is a developmental stage company based in Burbank, California, with the principal business objective of becoming a media, entertainment and fashion company positioned for high growth and profitability as a result of judiciously developing, selecting, acquiring and managing assets capable of providing dynamic growth potential. Through a thorough due diligence process, BLVD hopes to emerge as a highly successful company with a well-diversified, profitable and growing portfolio of entertainment and fashion assets.
BLVD’S first business is the development of film scripts. BLVD is currently developing several film scripts internally. BLVD sold the first of such film scripts on August 15, 2012 for $10,000. BLVD will also look to develop business in the exciting model & talent industry. Each year billions of dollars are spent in the advertising and entertainment industries for models, actors, musicians, dancers, etc. Magazines, newspapers, movies, billboards, catalogues, sales brochures and TV commercials all have a need for models or performing talent. BLVD will attempt to capitalize on this huge demand by engaging qualified individuals that BLVD will be apply to supply in order to satisfy the growing need.
BLVD may also attempt to establish a national franchising system for model and talent scouting. BLVD anticipates that this concept could be highly rewarding and successful for the franchise owners. Each franchisee will be awarded an exclusive large territory to promote his “model and talent search”. This will help every franchisee potentially achieve high earnings and it will insure that each franchisee is not competing with fellow owners in overlapping or nearby territories.
Franchising is one of the fastest and most effective methods of generating growth and rapid expansion. According to Forbes, nearly half of all U.S. sales or about $1 trillion is spent annually at franchised retail locations. Also, there are currently 750,000 franchised businesses operating in the United States.
These multiple revenue sources could ensure a strong and profitable operation. The initial franchise license fee is anticipated to be $25,000 increasing gradually to $35,000, as corporate expansion accelerates. In addition, each franchisee will be required to pay ongoing royalties each week in an amount equal to 7% of their gross income. This can be quite significant as demonstrated by the following realistic example for one territory:
Assuming three search events per week for 42 weeks annually = 126 total events — with an average of 40 registrants per event = 5,040 total registrants/year. Each registrant pays an initial fee of $39.50 (X 5,040) = $199,080.00. Then 2,772 follow-up fees paid at $49.50 = $137,214.00 for a total income of $336,294.00. In this example, 7% royalties paid to BLVD would equate to $23,540.58. These projections are not only realistic, but lean toward the conservative side based on thorough analysis of market potential and conditions.
Furthermore, each franchisee will be required to pay ongoing Advertising Fund payments in an amount equal to 2% of their gross income on a weekly basis. These funds will be utilized to “brand” the corporate name. Based on the previous example, 2% of $336,294.00 equates to $6,725.88 per franchise/year.
Additional income sources would come from:
§ | Master Franchise Licensing |
§ | Supply of printed literature to franchisees |
§ | Development of strategic industry partnership programs |
§ | Model and Talent Management Agency Company |

MARKETING
BLVD will market the entertainment industry and fashion and clothing design manufacturers worldwide. It is anticipated that as the Company grows, its advisory board and management team will be expanded to consist of additional members who have expertise in the film/music and fashion industry, as well as national franchising and entrepreneurial experience, which will provide BLVD the advantage and benefit of its executives’ stature and all their connective networks within the industries.
GROWTH STRATEGY OF THE COMPANY
Our mission is to maximize shareholder value through a growing portfolio of prudently selected and developed assets that we hope will provide us with dynamic growth potential. BLVD will acquire and develop assets in both the entertainment and fashion industries which we hope will result in multiple revenue generating sources including franchising opportunities, film script sales, global licensing of entertainment properties, merchandising distribution, independent film distribution, modeling and beauty pageants, high fashion and designer product distribution networks, concerts and talent management. We believe that growing a strong and diversified portfolio of assets will ensure a profitable operation and solidify the pillars for BLVD to weather occasional turns in the economy for long-tern success.
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS AND COMPETITION
PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Global Entertainment and Media Outlook: 2012-2016 reports that the global spending on entertainment and media rose 4.9 percent in 2011, a little faster than the 4.5% increase in 2010. Analysts predict the industry will grow at a 5.7 percent compound annual rate to $2.1 trillion during the next five years. Based on published reports, market analysis and our team member strengths, BLVD has targeted this industry with specific emphasis on film and music distribution.
COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Among entertainment, film and music distribution companies, BLVD could have a distinct advantage due to the positioning of its future executive team. Once fully formed, it will provide its expertise, reputation and superior industry connections in mass media promotion and retail marketing that should differentiate BLVD and get the Company a strong advantage over the majority of other similar entertainment companies’ support and services.
UNIQUE STRENGTH/PERSONNEL EXPERIENCE
The combined experience, success, and longevity of the future executive team and advisory board is anticipated to provide BLVD with an advantage in the marketplace. With the combination of a dedicated advisory team and executive committee, their collective network, and their innovative goals related to corporate development, BLVD could be positioned to experience expeditious growth and to quickly join the ranks of the industry’s most predominant entertainment operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of the date hereof, the Company has one (1) employee who serves as the officer and director, M. Ann Courtney (President, Treasurer, Secretary and Director). After the completion of registration becoming effective and equity capital raised, capital will fund the salaries of employees to handle day to day operations of BLVD including cost of acquisitions and cost of operation. We anticipate adding one (1) employee over the next twelve (12) months.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
General
BLVD is a developmental stage Nevada corporation that is focused on developing business in the fashion and entertainment industries with specific emphasis on film and music distribution, as well as fashion and clothing design. It is anticipated that as the Company grows through the development and acquisition of related assets, its future advisory board and future management team will be expanded to consist of additional members who have expertise in the film/music and fashion industry, as well as national franchising and entrepreneurial experience. Based on the comprehensive due diligence performed by the advisory board, the executive management committee will select assets for acquisition and/or development that we hope will compliment a realistic but aggressive business model. Executive oversight recommendations will then be drafted and resources committed including, but not limited to financing, franchising options, synergistic joint venture introductions, and distribution network expansion opportunities. This direction will position each company to maximize their potential and realize optimal financial returns from profit centers.
As a start-up company we have not yet realized any significant, consistent revenues. Other than the development of several film scripts and the sale of one such film script on August 15, 2012 for $10,000, we have not commenced our planned principal strategic operations. Other than relating to the script development mentioned above, our efforts, to date, have focused primarily on the development and implementation of our business plan.
Our Objectives
BLVD will strive to meet the following goals:
o | Building and expansion of the Company to fully operational status |
o | Developing of our business plan |
o | Obtaining capital, as necessary, through sales of our common stock |
o | Steadily growing our portfolio of revenue producing assets |
o | Successful marketing of our services/assets to potential customers. |
Our Mission
Our mission is to maximize shareholder value through a growing portfolio of prudently selected and developed assets that have demonstrated the potential for dynamic growth. BLVD will operate in both the entertainment and fashion industries which should result in multiple revenue generating sources including franchising opportunities, film script sales, global licensing of entertainment properties, merchandising distribution, independent film distribution, modeling and beauty pageants, high fashion and designer product distribution networks, concerts and talent management. Growing a strong and diversified business should ensure a profitable operation and solidify the pillars for BLVD to weather occasional turns in the economy for long-tern success.
Keys to Success
The primary keys to success for the company will be based on the following factors:
1. | Establishing an advisory board and management team consisting of members who have expertise in the film/music and fashion industry, as well as national franchising and entrepreneurial experience. |
2. | Acquiring and/or developing assets that ensure a realistic but aggressive business model. |
3. | Utilizing the reputation of our executives. |

Liquidity
Currently, the Company is relying on equity capital and the sale of a film script developed in-house for $10,000 to meet current cost and expenditures to operate the business going forward. Currently the Company pays costs associated with running a business on a day to day basis.
The Company believes that we will need $38,000 in capital, including the capital raised in this Offering, in order to maintain its current and planned operations through the next 12 months and beyond.
To the extent that the Company's capital resources are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements, the Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion of the Company's future financing requirements.
No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Equity and Capital Resources
To date, we have funded our operations through owner's equity and the sale of a film script developed in-house for $10,000. From inception, we have not borrowed but the principal has personally infused her own capital into the Company.
We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operational expenses. Consequently, we are dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to sustain our operations and implement our business plan. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which would have a material adverse affect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate. As of the date of this prospectus we did not have any commitments from any source to provide additional capital. Even if we are able to secure outside financing, it may not be available in the amounts or the times when we require. Furthermore, such financing would likely take the form of bank loans, private placement of debt or equity securities or some combination of these. The issuance of additional equity securities would dilute the stock ownership of current investors while incurring loans, leases or debt would increase our capital requirements and possible loss of valuable assets if such obligations were not repaid in accordance with their terms.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
Since our inception through, June 30, 2012 we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our corporate and operational offices are located at 3500 West Olive Avenue, 3rd Floor, Burbank, CA 91505.
We believe our current office space is adequate and any plans to move to expanded office space is contingent upon completing this offering and the hiring of additional employees. We lease our current office space.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any material or legal proceeding and, to our knowledge, none is contemplated or threatened.
21 |
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
Our Board of Directors currently consists of one member. The director holds office until her successor is duly elected by the stockholders. The executive officer serves at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Our current director and executive officer is:
Name | Age | Position | Year Appointed | |||
M. Ann Courtney | 36 | President, Treasurer, Secretary and Director | 2012 |
M. Ann Courtney – President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Director – Ms. Courtney was employed by Lotus Capital, a San Francisco investment banking firm, from 2002 to 2009. At Lotus, Ms. Courtney gained valuable experience in startup companies, the execution of business plans and the process of taking companies public. As President of her own business development consulting company for the past 3 years, she has been continually involved in assisting small companies in a variety of business and investment banking activities, e.g. corporate management development, marketing, and raising capital. Ms. Courtney brings numerous industry contacts and studio relationships that she has developed over the past several years.
Board Committees
Audit committee
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board of Directors when performing the functions that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The Board of Directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board of Directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.
Compensation and Nominations Committees
We currently have no compensation or nominating committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions. Currently, the member of our Board of Directors participates in discussions concerning executive officer compensation and nominations to the Board of Directors.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics, as required by sections 406 and 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management believes that the size of our company and current operations at this time do not require a code of ethics to govern the behaviour of our officer. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics once we are in a position to do so.
Indemnification of Executive Officers and Directors
The Nevada Revised Statutes permits indemnification of directors, officers, and employees of corporations under certain conditions subject to certain limitations. In the event that a claim for indemnification (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our directors and officers in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is appropriate and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
22 |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
No officers or directors have received annual compensation since the inception of the Company. There has been no compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to any of the named executive officers or directors.
As our business progresses and grows, we expect to hire and begin paying salaries to other officers and an advisory board. We also expect to hire part-time and full-time employees and consultants who will be paid compensation and consulting fees.
Stock option plan
We do not have a stock option plan and we have not issued any warrants, options or other rights to acquire our securities. However, we intend to adopt an incentive and non-statutory stock option plan in the future.
Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or other Retirement Plans
We do not have a defined benefit, pension plan, profit sharing or other retirement plan, although we may adopt one or more of such plans in the future.
Director's compensation
At present we do not pay our director for attending meetings of our Board of Directors, although we may adopt a director compensation policy in the near future.
Related Party Transactions
On June 12, 2012, BLVD issued 5,750,000 shares of 0.001 par value common stock to M. Ann Courtney, an officer and director, in exchange for cash and property in the amount of $20,864.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 70,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, of which 5,750,000 shares are issued and outstanding. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote, either in person or by proxy, on all matters that may be voted upon by their holders at meetings of the stockholders. The Board of Directors may not cause a reverse split of the outstanding common stock of the Company without an affirmative vote of the holders of 50% of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote or by the consent of the stockholders. Shares of common stock of the Company may be issued from time to time without prior approval by the stockholders. Common stock may be issued for such consideration as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may issue such shares of common stock in one or more series, with such voting powers, designations, preferences and rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
There is no public trading market for our common stock and a regular trading market may not develop, or if developed, may not be sustained. Unless and until a trading market exists, a stockholder in all likelihood will not be able to resell his or her securities should he or she desire to do so. While we will endeavor to have our common stock listed for trading on the OTC Markets (OTCQB), there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. We have no current proposals, arrangements, or understandings with any person with regard to the development of a trading market in our common stock.
The process for listing a company's shares for trading on the OTCQB is a lengthy one. The process requires a market maker to file a listing application with the NASD/FINRA on our behalf. The application is reviewed by the NASD/FINRA and may or may not be approved. The process of seeking OTCQB listing can take 60 days or more to complete and any listing is contingent on the NASD/FINRA approving our application. If our application is approved, the NASD/FINRA will assign us a trading symbol which will then become listed and quoted on the OTCQB. Being listed on the OTCQB will facilitate buyers and sellers to consummate purchases and sales of our stock as well as allowing the market price to adjust to reflect current valuations of our business. We do not anticipate engaging a market maker to initiate the OTCQB listing application until this offering has been completed.
Conflict of Interest
The current officer and director of the Company shall devote full-time to the Company. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such person may face a conflict in selecting between our business interest and their other business interests. The policy of the Board is that any personal business or corporate opportunity incurred by an officer or director of the Company must be examined by the Board and turned down by the Board in a timely basis before an officer or director can engage or take advantage of a business opportunity which could result in a conflict of interest.
None of the following parties has, since the date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with the Company or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:
● | The officer and director; | |
● | Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director; | |
● | Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding shares of common stock; | |
● | Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who have the same house as such person. |
There are no promoters being used in relation with this Offering. No persons who may, in the future, be considered a promoter will receive or expect to receive any assets, services or other consideration from the Company. No assets will be or are expected to be acquired from any promoter on behalf of the Company.
Penny Stock Considerations
Our common stock will be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $100,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:
25 |
Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
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, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock even if our common stock becomes publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our shares are likely to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.
Common Stock Currently Outstanding
As of June 30, 2012, all of our currently outstanding shares consist of 5,750,000 shares of restricted common stock.
Holders
As of the date of this registration statement, we had one stockholder of record of our common stock.
Dividends
We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain future earnings, if any, for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts, as the Board of Directors deems relevant.
Reports to Stockholders
We are currently not subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 but will be following the effectiveness of this registration statement. At that time, we will file all necessary periodic reports, and other information with the SEC. We intend to send annual reports to our stockholders containing audited financial statements.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Bylaws, subject to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, contain provisions which allow the Company to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
We are currently not subject to any pending or threatened litigation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
BLVD Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of BLVD Holdings, Inc. (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended and for the cumulative period from June 11, 2012 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012. 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 audit 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 also 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 audit provides 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 BLVD Holdings, Inc. as of June 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the cumulative period from June 11, 2012 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
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 is in the development stage, has not earned significant revenue, has suffered net losses and has had negative cash flows from operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2012 and for the cumulative period from June 11, 2012 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
BLVD Holdings (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 11, 2012. BLVD is focused on developing business within the fashion and entertainment industries. The Company is currently developing several film scripts internally. The Company will also look to develop business in the modeling and talent agency industry. The Company may also attempt to establish a national franchising system for model and talent scouting.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has generated revenues of $0 since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $225 at June 30, 2012. The Company currently has limited liquidity and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital, primarily from its shareholders, to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are comprised of computer and equipment and furniture and software costs. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.
On July 12, 2012, property and equipment totaling $15,864 were acquired by the Company for common stock from a related party. The Company recorded depreciation of $225 during the period ended June 30, 2012.
The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Computers, computer equipment, and software | 3 years |
Furniture | 7 years |
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s property and equipment costs when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. The Company considers certain events and circumstances in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable property and equipment may not be recoverable including, but not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company determined that there was no impairment of its property and equipment for the period ended June 30, 2012.
36 |
Per Share Data
In accordance with "ASC-260 - Earnings per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At June 30, 2012, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the loss per share computation.
Development Stage Company
The Company is considered to be in the development stage, as defined under Accounting Codification Standard, Development Stage Entities ("ASC-915"). Since its formation, the Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:
Year Ended June 30, 2012 | ||||
Income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate | $ | (77 | ) | |
Change in Valuation allowance | 77 | |||
Income tax expense (benefit) | $ | - |
Net Deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of:
June 30, 2012 | ||||
NOL Carryover | $ | 77 | ||
Valuation allowance | (77 | ) | ||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | - |
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $225 for federal income tax reporting purposes could be subject to annual limitations should a change in ownership occur. The net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2032.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue net of an allowance for estimated returns, at the time the merchandise is sold or services performed. The allowance for sales returns is estimated based on the Company’s historical experience. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Specifically, the Company will recognize the revenue from sale of scripts upon delivery and acceptance of the script by the customer.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On June 12, 2012, the Company issued 5,750,000 shares of common stock for cash of $5,000 and property and equipment of $15,864 to the founder of the Company.
37 |
NOTE 3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 15, 2012, the Company sold its first film script for $10,000.
In accordance with ASC 855, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no additional material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

On June 12, 2012, the Company issued 5,750,000 shares of our common stock to M. Ann Courtney, our founding shareholder and officer and director, in exchange for cash and property in the amount of $20,864. This sale of stock did not involve any public offering, general advertising or solicitation. At the time of the issuance, Ms. Courtney had fair access to and was in possession of all available material information about our company, as she is the sole officer and director of BLVD. The shares will bear a restrictive transfer legend in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. On the basis of these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to our founding shareholder qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

The Registrant undertakes:
1. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The Registrant is registering securities under Rule 415 of the Securities Act and hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) | Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
(ii) | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation From the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. |
(iii) | Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
2. That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
A. For determining liability of the undersigned issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
ii. | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned issuer; |
II-4 |
iii. | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned issuer; and |
iv. | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned issuer to the purchaser. |
B. That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
"Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable."
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am counsel for BLVD Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed public offering by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) as to which this opinion is a part, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In connection with rendering my opinion as set forth below, I have reviewed and examined originals or copies identified to my satisfaction of the following:
(1) | Articles of Incorporation, of the Company as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada; |
(2) | By-laws of the Company; |
(3) | Corporate minutes containing the written resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company; |
(4) | The Registration Statement and the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement; and |
(5) | The other exhibits of the Registration Statement. |
I have examined such other documents and records, instruments and certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such other investigations as I have deemed necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as original documents and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed, facsimile, electronic or photostatic copies. I have relied upon the statements contained in the Registration Statement and certificates of officers of the Company, and I have made no independent investigation with regard thereto.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is my opinion that the 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock being offered by the Company under the Registration Statement, when sold, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I hereby consent to this opinion being included as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and to the use of my name under the caption “EXPERTS” in the prospectus constituting
a part thereof.
Very truly yours, | ||
/s/ Matthew McMurdo, Esq. | ||

warranties;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to as follows:
1. RIGHTS GRANTED: Script Owner hereby sells, grants, conveys and assigns to Buyer, its successors, licensees and assigns exclusively and forever, all motion picture rights (including all silent, sound dialogue and musical motion picture rights), all television motion picture and other television rights, together with limited radio broadcasting rights and publication rights for advertisement, publicity and exploitation purposes, and certain incidental and allied rights, throughout the world, in and to the Script and in and to the copyright thereof and all renewals and extensions of copyright.

All rights, licenses, privileges and property herein granted Buyer shall be cumulative and Buyer may exercise or use any or all said rights, licenses, privileges or property simultaneously with or in connection with or separately and apart from the exercise of any other of said rights, licenses, privileges and property. If Script Owner hereafter makes or publishes or permits to be made or published any revision, adaptation, sequel, translation or dramatization or other versions of the Script, then Buyer shall have and Script Owner hereby grants to Buyer without payment therefor all of the same rights therein as are herein granted Buyer. The terms "Picture" and "Pictures" as used herein shall be deemed to mean or include any present or future kind of motion picture production based upon the Script, with or without sound recorded and reproduced synchronously therewith, whether the same is produced on film or by any other method or means now or hereafter used for the production, exhibition and/or transmission of any kind of motion picture productions.
2. RIGHTS RESERVED: The following rights are reserved to Script Owner for Script Owner's use and disposition, subject, however, to the provisions of this agreement:
(a) Publication Rights: The right to publish and distribute printed versions of the Script owned or controlled by Script Owner in book form, whether hardcover or soft-cover, and in magazine or other periodicals, whether in installments or otherwise subject to Buyer's rights as provided for in Section 1, supra.
(b) Stage Rights: The right to perform the Script or adaptations thereof on the spoken stage with actors appearing in person in the immediate presence of the audience, provided no broadcast, telecast, recording, photography or other reproduction of such performance is made. Script Owner agrees not to exercise, or permit any other person to exercise, said stage rights earlier than five (5) years after the first general release or telecast, if earlier, of the first Picture produced hereunder, or seven (7) years after the date of exercise of the purchaser's option to acquire the property, whichever is earlier.
(c) Radio Rights: The right to broadcast the Script by sound (as distinguished from visually) by radio, subject however to Buyer's right at all times to: (i) exercise its radio rights provided in Section 1 supra for advertising and exploitation purposes by living actors or otherwise, by the use of excerpts from or condensations of the Script or any Picture produced hereunder; and (ii) in any event to broadcast any Picture produced hereunder by radio. Script Owner agrees not to exercise, or permit any other person to exercise, Script Owner's radio rights earlier than five (5) years after the first general release or initial telecast, if earlier, of the first Picture produced hereunder or seven (7) years after the date of exercise of purchaser's option to acquire the property, whichever is earlier.
(d) Author-Written Sequel: A literary property (story, novel, drama or otherwise), whether written before or after the Script and whether written by Script Owner or by a successor in interest of Script Owner, using one or more of the characters appearing in the Script, participating in different events from those found in the Script, and whose plot is substantially different from that of the Script. Script Owner shall have the right to exercise publication rights (i.e., in book or magazine form) at any time. Script Owner agrees not to exercise, or permit any other person to exercise, any other rights (including but not limited to motion picture or allied rights) of any kind in or to any author-written sequel earlier than five (5) years after the first general release of the first Picture produced hereunder, or seven (7) years after the date of exercise of purchaser's option to acquire the property, whichever is earlier, provided such restriction on Script Owner's exercise of said author-written sequel rights shall be extended to any period during which there is in effect, in any particular country or territory, a network television broadcasting agreement for a television motion picture, (i) based upon the Script, or (ii) based upon any Picture produced in the exercise of rights assigned herein, or (iii) using a character or characters of the Script, plus one (1) year, which shall also be a restricted period in such country or territory, whether or not such period occurs wholly or partly during or entirely after the 5/7 year period first referred to in this clause.
(e) Inasmuch as the characters of the Script are included in the exclusive grant of motion picture rights to Buyer, no sequel rights or television series rights may be granted to such other person or company, but such characters from the Script which are contained in the author-written sequel may be used in a motion picture and remakes thereof whose plot is based substantially on the plot of the respective author-written sequel.
It is expressly agreed that Script Owner's reserved rights under this Section relate only to material written or authorized by Script Owner and not to any revision, adaptation, sequel, translation or dramatization written or authorized by Buyer, even though the same may contain characters or other elements contained in the Script.
3. EXTENT OF RIGHTS GRANTED: Buyer shall enjoy, solely and exclusively, all the rights licenses, privileges and property granted hereunder throughout the world, in perpetuity, as long as any rights in the Script are recognized in law or equity, except insofar as such period of perpetuity may be shortened due to any now existing or future copyright by Script Owner of the Script and/or any adaptations thereof, in which case Buyer shall enjoy its sole and exclusive rights, licenses, privileges and property hereunder to the fullest extent permissible under and for the full duration of such copyright or copyrights, whether common law or statutory, and any and all renewals and/or extensions thereof, and shall thereafter enjoy all such rights, licenses, privileges and property non-exclusively in perpetuity throughout the world.

Script Owner hereby waives the benefits of any provisions of law known as the "droit moral" or any similar law in any country of the world and agrees not to permit or prosecute any action or lawsuit on the ground that any Picture or other version of the Script produced or exhibited by Buyer, its assignees or licensees, in any way constitutes an infringement of any of the Script Owner's droit moral or is in any way a defamation or mutilation of the Script or any part thereof or contains unauthorized variations, alterations, modifications, changes or translations.

Script Owner further represents and warrants that no attempt shall be made hereafter to encumber, diminish or impair any of the rights granted herein and that all appropriate protection of such rights will continue to be maintained by Script Owner.
7. INDEMNIFICATION:

(b) Buyer shall not be liable to Script Owner for damages of any kind in connection with any Picture it may produce, distribute or exhibit, or for damages for any breach of this agreement (except failure to pay the money consideration herein specified) occurring or accruing before Buyer has had reasonable notice and opportunity to adjust or correct such matters.
(c) All rights, licenses and privileges herein granted to Buyer are irrevocable and not subject to rescission, restraint or injunction under any circumstances.
8. PROTECTION OF RIGHTS GRANTED: Script Owner hereby grants to Buyer the free and unrestricted right, but at Buyer's own cost and expense, to institute in the name and on behalf of Script Owner, or Script Owner and Buyer jointly, any and all suits and proceedings at law or in equity, to enjoin and restrain any infringements of the rights herein granted, and hereby assigns and sets over to Buyer any and all causes of action relative to or based upon any such infringement, as well as any and all recoveries obtained thereon. Script Owner will not compromise, settle or in any manner interfere with such litigation if brought; and Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Script Owner harmless from any costs, expenses, or damages which Script Owner may suffer as a result of any such suit or proceeding.
9. COPYRIGHT: With respect to the copyright in and to the Script, Script Owner agrees that:
(a) Script Owner will prevent the Script and any arrangements, revisions, translations, novelizations, dramatizations or new versions thereof whether published or unpublished and whether copyrighted or uncopyrighted, from vesting in the public domain, and will take or cause to be taken any and all steps and proceedings required for copyright or similar protection in any and all countries in which the same may be published or offered for sale, insofar as such countries now or hereafter provide for copyright or similar protection. Any contract or agreement entered into by Script Owner authorizing or permitting the publication of the Script or any arrangements, revisions, translations, novelizations, dramatizations or new versions thereof in any country will contain appropriate provisions requiring such publisher to comply with all the provisions of this clause.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Script or any arrangement, revision, translation, novelization, dramatization or new version thereof is published in the United States or in any other country in which registration is required for copyright or similar protection in accordance with the laws and regulations of such country, and Script Owner further agrees to affix or cause to be affixed to each copy of the Script or any arrangement, revision, translation, novelization, dramatization or new version thereof which is published or offered for sale such notice or notices as may be required for copyright or similar protection in any country in which such publication or sale occurs.
(c) At least six (6) months prior to the expiration of any copyright required by this provision for the protection of the Script, Script Owner will renew (or cause to be renewed) such copyright, as permitted by applicable law, and any and all rights granted Buyer hereunder shall be deemed granted to Buyer throughout the full period of such renewed copyright, without the payment of any additional consideration, it being agreed that the consideration payable to Script Owner under this agreement shall be deemed to include full consideration for the grant of such rights to Buyer throughout the period of such renewed copyright.
(d) If the Script, or any arrangement, revision, translation, novelization, dramatization or new version thereof, shall ever enter the public domain, then nothing contained in this agreement shall impair any rights or privileges that the Buyer might be entitled to as a member of the public; thus, the Buyer may exercise any and all such rights and privileges as though this agreement were not in existence. The rights granted herein by Script Owner to Buyer, and the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements made hereunder by Script Owner shall endure in perpetuity and shall be in addition to any rights, licenses, privileges or property of Buyer referred to in this Section (d).
(e) All rights granted or agreed to be granted to Buyer under this Agreement shall be irrevocably vested in Buyer and shall not be subject to rescission by Script Owner or any other party for any cause, nor shall said rights be subject to termination or reversion by operation of law or otherwise, except to the extent, if any, that the provisions of any copyright law or similar law relating to the right to terminate grants of, or recapture rights in, literary property may apply. If, pursuant to any such copyright law or similar law, Script Owner or any successor or any other legally designated party (all herein referred to as "the terminating party") becomes entitled to exercise any right to reversion, recapture or termination ( the "termination right") with respect to all or any part of the rights granted or to be granted under this Agreement, and if the terminating party exercises said termination right with respect to all or part of said rights (the "recaptured rights"), then from and after the date on which the terminating party has the right to transfer to a third party all or part of the recaptured rights, Buyer shall have the first right to purchase and acquire the recaptured rights from the terminating party. If the terminating party is prepared to accept a bona fide offer from a third party with respect to all or part of the recaptured rights, then in each such instance the terminating party shall notify Buyer of such offer which the terminating party is prepared to accept and the name of the third party who made the offer to the terminating party, and the terminating party shall offer Buyer the right to enter into an agreement with the terminating party with respect to the recaptured rights on the aforesaid terms and conditions. Buyer shall have 30 days from the date of its receipt of such written offer within which to notify the terminating party of its acceptance of such offer (provided, however, the Buyer shall not be required to meet any terms or conditions which cannot be as easily met by one person as another, including, without limitation, the employment of a specified person, etc.) If Buyer shall acquire from the terminating party all or part of the recaptured rights, then the terminating party agrees to enter into appropriate written agreements with Buyer covering said acquisition. If Buyer shall elect not to purchase the recaptured rights from the terminating party, then the terminating party may dispose of said recaptured rights, but only to the aforesaid third party and only upon the terms and conditions specified in the aforesaid written notice given by the terminating party to Buyer, it being understood and agreed that the terminating party may not dispose of said recaptured rights either to: (a) any other proposed transferee; or (b) upon terms and conditions which are more favorable to any transferee than the terms and conditions previously offered to Buyer hereunder, without again offering to enter into an agreement with Buyer on: (i) the terms offered to such other transferee; or (ii) such more favorable terms and conditions offered to said proposed transferee, whichever of (a) or (b) shall apply. Any such required offer made to Buyer by the terminating party shall be governed by the procedure set forth in the preceding four sentences of this Paragraph. The unenforceability of any portion of this Paragraph shall not invalidate or affect the remaining portions of this Paragraph of this Agreement.
10. CREDIT OBLIGATIONS: Buyer shall have the right to publish, advertise, announce and use in any manner or medium, the name, biography and photographs or likenesses of Script Owner in connection with any exercise by Buyer of its rights hereunder, provided such use shall not constitute an endorsement of any product or service.
During the term of the Writer's Guild of America Minimum Basic Agreement ("WGA Agreement"), as it may be amended, the credit provisions of the WGA Agreement shall govern the determination of credits, if any, which the Buyer shall accord the Script Owner hereunder in connection with photoplays. If the Buyer or his assignee is not a party to said WGA Agreement, the provisions of the WGA Agreement shall no longer directly govern the determination of such credits, and when the WGA Agreement or any amendment is not effective as between the Buyer or assignee and Writer's Guild of America, such credits shall be determined with reference to the Credit rules of the WGA, with any dispute arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association.
Subject to the foregoing, Script Owner shall be accorded the following credit on a single card on screen and in paid ads controlled by Buyer and in which any other writer is accorded credit, and in size of type (as to height, width, thickness and boldness) equal to the largest size of type inwhich any other writer is accorded credit:
WRITTEN BY ANN COURTNEY/BLVD HOLDINGS INC
Additionally, if Buyer shall exploit any other rights in and to the Script, then Buyer agrees to give appropriate source material credit to the Script, to the extent that such source material credits are customarily given in connection with the exploitation of such rights.
No casual or inadvertent failure to comply with any of the provisions of this clause shall be deemed a breach of this agreement by the Buyer. Script Owner hereby expressly acknowledges that in the event of a failure or omission constituting a breach of the provisions of this paragraph, the damage (if any) caused Script Owner thereby is not irreparable or sufficient to entitle Script Owner to injunctive or other equitable relief. Consequently, Script Owner's rights and remedies in the event of such breach shall be limited to the right to recover damages in an action at law.
11. RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION: Buyer shall have a right of first negotiation on all Reserved Rights. The term "Right of First Negotiation" means that if, after the expiration of an applicable time limitation, Script Owner desires to dispose of or exercise a particular right reserved to Script Owner herein ("Reserved Right"), whether directly or indirectly, then Script Owner shall notify Buyer in writing and immediately negotiate with Buyer regarding such Reserved Right. If, after the expiration of thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice, no agreement has been reached, then Script Owner may negotiate with third parties regarding such Reserved Right subject to Section 12 infra.
12. RIGHT OF LAST REFUSAL: The Buyer shall have a right of last refusal on all Reserved Rights. The term "Right of Last Refusal" means that if Buyer and Script Owner fail to reach an agreement pursuant to Buyer's right of first negotiation, and Script Owner makes and/or receives any bona fide offer to license, lease and/or purchase the particular Reserved Right or any interest therein ("Third Party Offer"), and if the proposed purchase price and other material terms of a Third Party Offer are no more favorable to Script Owner than the terms which were acceptable to Buyer during the first negotiation period, Script Owner shall notify Buyer, by registered mail or telegram, if Script Owner proposes to accept such Third Party Offer, the name of the offerer, the proposed purchase price, and other terms of such Third Party Offer. During the period of thirty (30) days after Buyer's receipt of such notice, Buyer shall have the exclusive option to license, lease and/or purchase, as the case may be, the particular Reserved Right or interest referred to in such Third Party Offer, at the same purchase price and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in such notice. If Buyer elects to exercise thereof by registered mail or telegram within such thirty (30) day period, failing which Script Owner shall be free to accept such Third Party Offer; provided that if any such proposed license, lease and/or sale is not consummated with a third party within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, Buyer's Right of Last Refusal shall revive and shall apply to each and every further offer or offers at any time received by Script Owner relating to the particular Reserved Right or any interest therein; provided, further, that Buyer's option shall continue in full force and effect, upon all of the terms and conditions of this paragraph, so long as Script Owner retains any rights, title or interests in or to the particular Reserved Right. Buyer's Right of Last Refusal shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, its successors and assigns, and shall bind Script Owner and Script Owner's heirs, successors and assigns.
13. NO OBLIGATION TO PRODUCE: Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Buyer to produce, distribute, release, perform or exhibit any motion picture, television, theatrical or other production based upon, adapted from or suggested by the Script, in whole or in part, or otherwise to exercise, exploit or make any use of any rights, licenses, privileges or property granted herein to Buyer.
14.

15. AGENT COMPENSATION: Buyer shall not be liable for any compensation or fee to any agent of Script Owner in connection with this Agreement.
16. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION: Script Owner agrees to execute and procure any other and further instruments necessary to transfer, convey, assign and copyright all rights in the Script granted herein by Script Owner to Buyer in any country throughout the world. If it shall be necessary under the laws of any country that copyright registration be acquired in the name of Script Owner, Buyer is hereby authorized by Script Owner to apply for said copyright registration thereof; and, in such event, Script Owner shall and does hereby assign and transfer the same unto Buyer, subject to the rights in the Script reserved hereunder by Script Owner. Script Owner further agrees, upon request, to duly execute, acknowledge, procure and deliver to Buyer such short form assignments as may be requested by Buyer for the purpose of copyright recordation in any country, or otherwise. If Script Owner shall fail to so execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, the assignments or other instruments herein referred to, Buyer is hereby irrevocably granted the power coupled with an interest to execute such assignments and instruments in the name of Script Owner and as Script Owner's attorney-in-fact.

18. ASSIGNMENT: Buyer may assign and transfer this agreement or all or any part of its rights hereunder to any person, firm or corporation without limitation, and this agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, representatives and assigns forever.

Registration Statement on Form S-1 | ||
Filed August 17, 2012 | ||
File No. 333-183370 |
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
We are filing an amended Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (the “Registration Statement”) in response to your recent review letter addressed to M. Ann Courtney, President of BLVD Holdings, Inc. (“BLVD”), dated August 22, 2012 (the “SEC Letter”). This response letter, along with the amended Registration Statement, addresses the concerns you have expressed
We have not included full company information regarding Talent Feeder because the acquisition is no longer probable. In fact, there are no company acquisitions on the horizon, as we have overhauled our business plan. We have begun actual operations ourselves through the development and sale of film scripts and will be looking to add assets that compliment our business plan. We need not comply with Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933 because, as you’ll note in the amended Registration Statement, we are not a blank-check company. We have not only defined our business operations, we have actually undertaken operations and received revenue. We hope this letter and the amendments we made to the Registration Statement address your concerns.
Matthew McMurdo, Esq.
New York
Please direct your correspondence regarding this matter to the undersigned.
Very truly yours, | ||
