History of Business
The Company is a California corporation organized under the laws of the state of California in 2004 to offer storefront pet grooming, mobile pet grooming, pet grooming franchises, pet grooming school, an online classifieds, and an online dating site for pet lovers.
The Company began operations in September of 2004, and immediately challenged pre-existing pet salons by providing its customers with better, more affordable services. The Company is headquartered in Tujunga, California. The corporate office grooms one hundred plus pets a week. In January 2005, the company became a registered school with the State of California as a pet grooming school. Registration means we have met certain minimum standards imposed by the state for registered schools on the basis of our written application to the state. Registration does not mean we have met all of the more extensive standards required by the state for schools that are approved to operate or licensed or that the state has verified the information we submitted with our registration form. Today, the company enjoys certifying up to five students every five weeks. It has gained momentum on search engines such as google.com. For example: If you were to search the keyword, “pet grooming school in Los Angeles”, wagmytail.com is placed in the second position, and on yahoo.com, same keyword, in number one position. In 2006, the company began its franchise operations and was able to sell two locations one in Mission Viejo, California, the other in Fountain Valley, California. In 2007, the company entered the mobile grooming business. This business is expanding rapidly, and plans are on the way to incorporate the mobile grooming business in the franchise agreement. May of 2007 the company began its online dating site for pet lovers. The URL is http://www.wagyourtail.com. The company received its Trade Mark from The United States Patents and Trade Mark Office for its domain name wagmytail.com The company is profitable and continues to grow.
Future goals
The company’s main goal is to become the number one household name in the pet grooming industry not just nationally but globally as well. We have identified and established several specific goals: To establish sixty regional offices similar to the corporate office in which services will include, grooming, schooling, and franchising. Each regional office to sell one hundred franchises. Each regional office to operate mobile grooming services. To grow its online dating site nationally and globally. Competition Petco, Petsmart, and many other small pop and mom stores exist today both locally and nationally. It is estimated that the Pet Industry is a Thirty-Three Billion Dollars a year industry and is expanding. It is estimated that nationally there are 4000 pets per groomer. Nature and extent of corporate facilities: The Corporation’s executive, administrative and operating offices are located in a 4,000 square foot facility at 7209 foothill blvd. Tujunga, CA 91042. Our national toll free number is 1-888-Wag-Mytail. It is the opinion of management of the corporation that the property is adequate for the time being and it is well covered by insurance. POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCT AND SERVICE LIABILITY The Company's products and services will be designed to satisfy its customer’s' needs. A failure to satisfy a customer's need or adverse impact on a customer from the Company's products or services could result in a claim for damages against the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be involved in costly and protracted judicial litigation. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against the Company that exceed available insurance policies, such as premium increases, the imposition of large deductibles, or coinsurance requirements, could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.

The Company's Board of Directors presently consists of L. Yvonne Vanhoek and Susan Mivelaz. All employee and consultant compensation, including payroll expenditures, salaries, stock options, stock incentives and bonuses, must be approved by the unanimous consent of the member of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will also have an Audit Committee comprised of the same members as the Compensation Committee. The Bylaws of the Company generally provide for majority approval of disinterested directors in order to adopt resolutions, including any borrowings by the Company or the issuance of any additional capital stock.
CUMULATIVE VOTING Pursuant to the Company's Bylaws and in accordance with the California Corporations Code, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of the Company's preferred (if any) & common stock held, and such holders may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION Under California Corporation Law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company's directors will have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his or her "duty of care." This provision does not apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence. The effect of this provision in the Company's Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholder's derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damaged against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit or eliminate the rights of the Company or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach or a director's duty of care. These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under federal securities laws. As a matter of disclosure, Lourdes Y Vanhoek holds a signed letter of indemnification holding her harmless regarding matters, events, material, representations, agreements, contracts, or other occurrences prior to his direct involvement with the Company. The Company intends to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Company's Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the Company's directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or processing, including any action by or in the right of the Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other Company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the Company.
The Company believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and therefore can not be enforced.
