COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS
The number of companies going public and requiring access to capital has significantly increased in years. There is also significant growth in the use of the Internet for offering efficient business-to-business commerce. The market for capital and financing resources for emerging growth companies is intensely competitive.
We compete with a large number of consulting firms, investment banks, merchant banks, and other companies, as well as traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of consulting in connection with our investment activity. Many of these entities have greater financial and managerial resources than we do. Numerous smaller competitors also exist in this industry. They tend to be: (i) specialized and only offer one type of financing service; (ii) traditional and only provide non- Internet, face-to-face operations, or (iii) small scale and only able to accommodate a few clients each year. We compete with these entities primarily on the basis of the quality of our services, the experience and contacts of our management team, our investment analysis and decision-making processes, and the engagement terms we offer our Portfolio Companies concerning our fees which we receive partly in cash and partly in equity. The Company believes that it fills a void and provides a market niche for privately-held companies seeking to be publicly traded in the US. The Company offers a variety of financial consulting services targeted toward this market. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete or that our existing or potential competitors will not develop products or services equal to or better than those marketed by us.
DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW CUSTOMERS
The Company was dependent on one customer who accounted for 44.5% of total revenues in 2004. However, the Company has since ceased performing services for that customer and currently relies on many different clients for its revenues.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS & LICENSES
The Company does not own any patents or trademarks. GPT is licensed as an investment advisor in the State of Nevada.
NEED FOR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL AND THE EFFECTS OF REGULATIONS
GPT is regulated by the Division as an investment advisor under Nevadas Uniform Securities Act. GPT was subject to examination prior to becoming licensed. The Administrator of the Division without previous notice, may examine GPTs records in order to determine compliance with the Uniform Securities Act. In the event that GPT is not in compliance with the Nevada Act, the Administrator may suspend or revoke GPTs license or impose fines on GPT.
EMPLOYEES
Stephen Brock, our sole director, is also our only employee. Mr. Brock serves as our President, Secretary and Treasurer on a full-time basis.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Stephen Brock, our President, Secretary and Treasurer provides office space to us at 5770 El Camino Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118 at the cost of $1,500 per month, on a month to month basis.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 27, 2004, NF and Stephen Brock filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada against Ugomedia Interactive Corporation (Ugomedia) for breach of contract. On February 27, 2003, Ugomedia executed a convertible promissory note in favor of NF in the principal amount of $175,000, bearing interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum. The entire outstanding principal and accrued interest became due and payable on February 27, 2004. Despite repeated demands for payment, Ugomedia failed and refused to pay NF any part of the sums due and owing.
On June 14, 2004, GPT sent a demand letter to Terrax, Inc. (Terrax). Terrax signed a contract for services with GPT in March 2002. The contract terms stipulated a cash payment of $75,000 payable in increments and an equity payment of 500,000 shares of restricted common stock of Terrax. In April 2002, GPT assisted Terrax in an offering in Nevada that was exempt under Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. Although the client transferred the stock and made a partial payment, the full obligations of the contract were not and are still not paid in full. A settlement was entered into between GPT and Terrax in February 2005, whereby the Company agreed to withdraw the Companys lawsuit in return for the 500,000 restricted shares which were issued to GPT becoming free trading, as well as various other stipulations by Terrax including Terrax agreeing to pay the balance of the contract owed to GPT in advance of any filings made by GPT to take Terrax from trading on the pinksheets to trading on the OTCBB.
GPT also sent a demand letter to Escape International, Inc. (Escape) in June 2004. Escape contracted with GPT in February 2004 for GPT to assist Escape in filing a Form SB-2 registration statement under the Securities Act. The contract provided for a cash payment in the amount of $75,000 of which $10,000 was paid and an equity payment of 500,000 shares of restricted common stock of Escape. GPT performed (or contracted with third parties to perform) numerous services on behalf of Escape including but not limited to a business plan review, establishing a Nevada corporation, corporate record book development, and drafting private placement documents for an initial founders round. Escape has not issued the restricted stock to GPT. GPT is seeking to recover its unpaid fees pursuant to the contract. The Company has filed a Complaint against Escape in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada. Escape has filed an Answer to that Complaint on January 20, 2005.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the Acquisition, GPT provided services to the Registrant in connection with the Registrant becoming a publicly traded company. PCMS provided compliance services to the Registrant in connection with the Registrant maintaining its status as a publicly traded company.
Stephen Brock, our President, Secretary and Treasurer, provides office space to us at $1,500 per month on a month to month basis. The Company has no lease with Mr. Brock.
Mr. Brock launched M & A Capital as a broker/dealer in 2004. Mr. Brock is the General Partner of Brock Family LP, which manages M & A Capital. M & A Capital provides capital raising services and facilitates Reverse Listings. In that regard, the Company periodically evaluates with M & A Capital potential acquisitions, financing transactions, initial public offerings, reverse listings, strategic alliances, and sale opportunities involving the Companys client companies. Such transactions could have an impact on the valuation of the Company. These transactions and activities are generally not disclosed to the Companys stockholders and the investing public until such time as the transactions are publicly announced or completed, as the case may be.
The Subsidiaries routinely engage in intercompany transactions. For example, NF, PWP and PCMS leverage off of GPT to provide to them with support services, financing, development, equipment, staff and incubation services for the mutual development of each of the business plans.
The Company owned two properties, which were both originally purchased by GPT. However, one of the properties which GPT owned in Nevada, was sold on February 11, 2005. The other property, still owned by the Company, is located in Brianhead, Utah, and is held in the name of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Brock, although it is owned by GPT. That property is used as a part-time residence by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and as a backup office for the Companys corporate offices.
In June 2004, GPT purchased a new truck from an auto dealer, which is used by the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Brock, which was financed in sixty (60) equal monthly installments of $905, including interest at 4.99%. The truck is held Mr. Brocks, name, but is owned by the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Public Company Management Corporation, referred to herein as we, our, us, the Company or PCMC), is a Nevada corporation that was organized on October 26, 2000 as MyOffiz, Inc. On October 1, 2004, PCMC acquired the following companies:

o

The transaction is referred to herein as the Acquisition. PCMC is a holding company for PWP, GPT, PCMS and NF, each of which operates a separate line of business. The terms Company, we, our, or us as used herein refer to PCMC, PWP, GPT, PCMS and NF, collectively, unless otherwise stated. PWP, GPT, PCMS and NF are collectively referred to herein as the Subsidiaries.
As a result of the Acquisition and a change in business focus, the Company changed its name to Public Company Management Corporation on November 18, 2004. The Company is an education, management and consulting firm that helps small businesses create long-term value for their companies, shareholders and partners by participating in public capital markets. The Company focuses on serving private and small public companies that, as determined by our management, have the following characteristics:

companies that operate in established markets or in market segments having a reasonable probability of marketing success;
o
companies that can support favorable financial expectations including the return on investment being sought by the Companys management; and
o
companies that have an experienced management team.

The audited financial statements discussed in under this heading Managements Discussion and Analysis include a consolidated balance sheet of the Subsidiaries (referred to in the financial statements as Public Company Management Corporation or PCMC) as of September 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, and the year ended December 31, 2003. During 2004, the Subsidiaries and the Company changed their fiscal year end from June 30 and December 31, respectively, to September 30.

Other income was $522,828 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, consisting of unrealized gain on holding marketable securities of $375,729, realized gain on sale of marketable securities of $146,588, interest income of $13,401 and gain on sale of vehicle of $929 which were offset by interest expense of $13,819.

Marketable securities represent investments in securities that are traded on either the over-the-counter Bulletin Board (the OTCBB) or the Pink Sheets, some of which are restricted stock. As such, they have limited liquidity and may be subject to huge price swings as discussed below in the section entitled Risk Factors. In addition, sales of marketable securities by us may exert down pressure on the securities which could result in our selling marketable securities at prices much less than the value as of September 30, 2004. Notes receivable are due from three (3) of our small or medium-sized clients. Repayment of the notes is highly speculative as discussed below in the section entitled Risk Factors.
Total current liabilities were $1,041,986 as of September 30, 2004, consisting of deferred income tax of $643,827, deferred revenues of $228,333, bank lines of credit of $88,126, accounts payable of $67,434, and current portion of installment note payable of $14,266.
As of September 30, 2004, we had working capital of $1,426,823, and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.37 to 1.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $232,148 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, consisting primarily of capital contributions of $196,487, new truck purchase financing of $43,997, payments on installment note of ($15,824), and net change in bank line of credit of $7,488.
The Company has two bank lines of credit. $45,000 is owed to Bank of America, which is the credit limit. The interest rate is at banks prime + 2%, there is no collateral, and the line expires April 25, 2005. $43,126 is owed to Wells Fargo, against a $43,500 credit limit. The interest rate is at banks prime + 7.75%, there is no collateral, and the line renews annually in June.
The Company will need to raise $1.5 million of additional financing during the next twelve (12) months to fully implement its business plan. The Company intends to raise additional capital in one or more private placements of its Common Stock including this Offering. The Company does not have any commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from its officers, directors or majority shareholders. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise such additional financing to fully implement its business plan, it will have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operation and financial condition.
RISK FACTORS
WE NEED TO RAISE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING. It is imperative that we raise $1.5 million of additional capital to fully implement our business plan. The Company intends to raise the additional capital in one or more private placements. The Company does not have any commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from its officers, directors or majority shareholders. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise such additional financing, it would have a materially adverse effect upon the Companys ability to implement its business plan, and may cause the Company to curtail or scale back its current operations.
MOST OF OUR ASSETS CONSIST OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES IN COMPANIES TRADED ON THE OTCBB OR THE PINK SHEETS, THE VALUE OF WHICH IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATION. Most of or our assets consist of marketable securities of companies traded on the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets. Some of the marketable securities are restricted securities. The marketable securities we hold have limited liquidity and may be subject to huge price swings. In addition, sales of marketable securities by us may exert downward pressure on the securities which could result in our selling marketable securities at prices much less than the value as of September 30, 2004. Fluctuations in the market price and valuations of our holdings in such other companies, which are partially dependent on market and other conditions that are beyond our control, may result in fluctuations of the market price of our common stock.
A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR MARKETABLE SECURITIES ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES UNDER RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. A significant portion of the marketable securities that we hold are considered restricted securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act or the Securities Act). We may not sell restricted securities except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144. Sales under Rule 144 are subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the company whose securities we intend to sell under Rule 144. In the event that we cannot sell our marketable securities pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, we will not be able to liquidate our position with respect to such securities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS ACCOUNTED FOR 44.5% OF OUR REVENUES IN 2004. In 2004, Acies, Inc., one of our customers, accounted for 44.5% of our revenues. This client has subsequently ceased being the Companys client, and we do not anticipate receiving any additional revenue from this client moving forward. Because we are no longer performing services for a client which accounted for 44.5% of revenues in 2004, the Companys revenues may decrease for 2005, due to the loss of this client. If the Company is unable to find additional clients to make up for the loss in revenue due to the loss of this client it would have a material adverse affect on or business, results of operation and financial condition and would cause a decrease in the value of the Companys common stock.
WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE 1940 ACT. The Company believes that it is primarily engaged in the business of providing consulting services and that the ownership of securities is an incidental result of such business operations. If, however, the Commission determines that we meet the definition of an investment company, we may be required to register under the Investment Company Act 1940 (the 1940 Act). Such registration is expensive and could substantially alter our business model. There can be no assurance that the Commission will not require us to register under the 1940 Act, or, if required to do so, that we will be able to complete such registration process in a timely manner, if at all, or at a reasonable cost. If the Commission requires us to register under the 1940 Act, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation, financial condition and your investment in the Company.
WE INVEST IN PRIVATE COMPANIES WHICH INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. Our business operations will consist primarily of working with small private companies in which we will take an equity investment in the form of restricted securities as part of our fee. Working with, and investing in, private companies involve a high degree of business and financial risk. These risks can result in substantial losses. Accordingly our business activities should be considered speculative. There is generally no publicly available information about the companies with which we work, and we rely significantly on the diligence of our management team to obtain information in connection with our engagement decisions. Typically, such companies depend on the management talents and efforts of one person or a group of persons for their success, and the death, disability or resignation of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on such companies that in turn would have a material adverse impact on investment in such companies. In addition, smaller businesses often have narrower product lines and smaller market shares than their competition. Such companies may also experience substantial variations in operating results. These companies may be more vulnerable to customer preferences, market conditions or economic downturns, which may adversely affect the return on, or the recovery of, our investment in such businesses. The illiquidity of the restricted securities that we accept as part of our fee limits our ability to dispose of these investments at times when it may be advantageous for us to do so.
THERE IS UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE VALUE OF OUR PRIVATELY-HELD SECURITIES. We value our privately held equity based on a determination of their fair value made in good faith in accordance with our established guidelines. Initially, the fair value of each such security is based upon its original cost. Cost is also the primary factor used to determine fair value on an ongoing basis until significant developments or other factors affecting the investment (such as results of subsequent financings, the availability of market quotations, the portfolio companys operations and changes in general market conditions) provide a basis for value other than cost. Due to the uncertainty inherent in valuing securities that are not publicly traded, our determinations of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would exist if a ready market for these securities existed.
WE LEND MONEY TO SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED COMPANIES THAT MAY INVOLVE A HIGHER RISK OF DEFAULT. We may make loans to small and medium-sized private companies for the payment of our fees which may involve a higher degree of default risk than deferring fees or lending to larger, more established companies. We primarily lend to and will continue to lend to companies that may have limited financial resources. For example, 3 of our clients owed us an aggregate of $550,000 with interest ranging from 4% to 6% per year, the repayment of which is speculative as of September 30, 2004. Numerous factors may affect the borrowers ability to make scheduled interest payments and ultimately to repay our loan, including the borrowers failure to meet its business plan, a downturn in its industry or negative economic conditions. Our securities are typically junior to any bank debt that our clients have, and our loans are often unsecured. To the extent that we have a secured position in a company, our claims to any collateral will be subordinated to the claims of any senior lenders. Deterioration in a borrowers financial condition and prospects may be accompanied by deterioration in any collateral for the loan. In the event that our clients default on the notes, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
WE DEPEND HEAVILY ON STEPHEN BROCK. The success of the Company heavily depends upon the personal efforts and abilities of Stephen Brock, a director of the Company and the Companys President, Secretary and Treasurer. The Company has not entered into employment agreement with Mr. Brock. Mr. Brock may voluntarily terminate his services at any time. The loss of Mr. Brock could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, the absence of Mr. Brock will force us to seek a replacement who may have less experience or who may not understand our business as well, or we may not be able to find a suitable replacement.
WE DEPEND HEAVILY ON STEPHEN BROCK AND HIS TEAM OF ADVISORS TO MAKE INVESTMENT DECISIONS. We work with companies selected by Stephen Brock, our President. Our stockholders have no right or power to take part in our management and do not receive the detailed financial information made available to our team by Portfolio Companies in connection with the review of possible engagements. Accordingly, investors must be willing to entrust all management aspects to Mr. Brock and other members of our management team. Although Mr. Brock and other members of the team have previous experience making and managing private equity investments, there can be no assurance that our management will be successful in making or managing such investments. In the event that Mr. Brock and his advisors make poor investment decisions, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
STEPHEN BROCKS INTERESTS MAY CONFLICT WITH OUR INTERESTS. Our President, Stephen Brock, is also involved in other investment banking and business activities in addition to the duties he fulfills for us including M&A Capital Advisers, LLC, an investment banking firm focused on merging public companies and private companies together and raising money through non-registered private placements. Mr. Brocks interests and the interests of other investment banking and business activities in which he participates may conflict with our interests particularly regarding the selection of engagements and the allocation of Mr. Brocks time.
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. To date, the Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock. We intend to reinvest our cash earnings, if any, in the company with the goal of increasing the value per share for the shareholders of the Company. We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the near future.
OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WILL DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE FUTURE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY. We expect our company to grow significantly in the years ahead. Our ability to sustain continued growth depends on our ability to identify and evaluate, and our ability to finance and work with, companies that meet our criteria. Accomplishing such a result is largely a function of our management of the consulting process and the availability of suitable companies in the marketplace with which to work. Any failure to manage effectively our future growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
WE OPERATE IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET FOR OPPORTUNITIES. We compete with a large number of investment banks and other consulting firms, as well as traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of financing in connection with our business activity. We also compete with media and educational companies, and compliance vendors. The Companys relative position in the industry is insignificant and most of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do. Increased competition would make it more difficult for us to make investments with attractive return characteristics.
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES OF SMALL-CAPITALIZATION PUBLIC COMPANIES MAY INVOLVE A HIGHER DEGREE OF RISK THAN OTHER INVESTMENTS. We intend to accept a portion of our fee for services in securities of private companies seeking to become small-capitalization public companies. Often times there is no market for such securities, or, if there is a market, it is illiquid and/or sporadic. As a result, investments in such securities may involve greater risks than other investments. Because these companies often have fewer shares outstanding than larger companies, it may be more difficult for us to buy or sell significant amounts of their shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing prices. In addition, small-capitalization public companies are typically subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger, more established public companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning small-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. If there is no market for the securities that we hold or such markets are illiquid or sporadic, it will have a material adverse effect on our ability to buy or sell such securities even if our management believes it is advisable to do so.
ECONOMIC RECESSIONS OR DOWNTURNS COULD IMPAIR OUR CLIENT COMPANIES AND HARM OUR OPERATING RESULTS. Many of the companies in which we have worked with or will work with may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions. An economic slowdown may impact the ability of a company to engage in a liquidity event. These conditions could lead to financial losses in and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our operational costs.
Our business of positioning private companies for liquidity events via getting publicly listed and trading also may be impacted by current and future market and economic conditions. Significant changes in the public equity markets could have an effect on the valuations of private companies and on the potential for liquidity events involving such companies. This could affect the amount and timing of gains realized on the equity portion of our fee.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY UPON WHICH YOU CAN EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS. We have only recently elected to reformulate our business model and we have only a limited history of operations upon which you can evaluate our business as such. In addition, at least one of our subsidiaries is less than a year old.
CHANGES IN LAWS OR REGULATIONS THAT GOVERN US COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR OPERATIONS. GPT is regulated by the State of Nevada Secretary of State, Securities Division as an investment advisor under Nevadas Uniform Securities Act. These laws and regulations may be changed from time to time, and interpretations of the relevant laws and regulations are also subject to change. Changes in the laws or regulations that govern us may significantly affect our business.
PROVISIONS OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS COULD DETER TAKEOVER ATTEMPTS. Our charter, bylaws and Nevada law contain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or making more difficult a change in control and preventing the removal of incumbent directors. The existence of these provisions may negatively impact the price of our stock and may discourage third-party bids. These provisions may reduce any premiums over market price paid to our stockholders for their shares of our stock.
STEPHEN BROCK CAN VOTE AN AGGREGATE OF 75.8% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AND CAN EXERCISE CONTROL OVER CORPORATE DECISIONS. Stephen Brock, a director of the Company and the Companys President, Secretary, and Treasurer beneficially owns approximately 75.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Mr. Brock indirectly owns these shares through the Trust and GPT. Accordingly, Mr. Brock will exercise control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Mr. Brock may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other shareholders.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The greatest product to any information based organization is the intellectual property created and branded for distribution both as a service and as a component to business activity. It is considered very close to improbable that we would be able to protect the intellectual property rights upon which our business relies.
In an effort to protect and/or curtail our intellectual property, we may pursue certain trademarks, including current brand names, Internet domain names, Web site designs, programs and certain subscriber lists which make up the intellectual property we view as important to our core business. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain or use our intellectual property without authorization or to develop similar technology independently. There can also be no assurance that our business activities will not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, or that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, including claims that by, directly or indirectly, providing hyperlink text links to Web sites operated by third parties, we have infringed upon the proprietary rights of other third parties. Due to the global nature of the Internet, there can be no assurance that obtaining trademark protection in the United States will prevent infringements on our trademarks by parties in other countries. We have not sought or obtained any patents on our proprietary software and data processing applications.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND INFORMATION POSTED ON OUR WEBSITES COULD CREATE LIABILITY. Associated risks with the interrelatedness of information via the Internet can prove a risk in utilizing online information or services provided by third parties or us. Because materials may be downloaded by the public on Internet services offered by us or the Internet access providers with whom we have relationships, and because third party information may be posted by third parties on our Web site through discussion forums and otherwise, there is the potential that claims will be made against us for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or other theories. Such claims have been brought against providers of online services in the past. The imposition of liability based on such claims could materially and adversely impact the business. Even to the extent such claims do not result in liability, we could incur significant costs in investigating and defending against such claims. The imposition to us of potential liability for information or services carried on or disseminated through our Web site could require implementation of measures to reduce exposure to such liability, which may require the expenditure of substantial resources and limit the attractiveness of services to members and users. We may post news clippings from other news Web sites on our Web sites with links to the source site. Most publishers currently encourage this practice, although certain publishers may request that we cease posting their stories. We will comply with their request in each case. To the extent that a large majority of news publishers prohibit posting of their stories on our Web sites or begin charging royalty fees for such stories, our Web site traffic could decrease or our costs could increase, thereby adversely impacting our profitability. Our general liability insurance will not cover all potential claims to which we are exposed or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when the earning process is complete and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally considered to have occurred upon performance and acceptance of the services provided. The services provided sometimes take several months. For some of the services contracts, there are two specifically-identifiable events which may be separated: the initial private fund-raising effort and the public market listing effort. Revenues under the total contract has been allocated 20% to the private fund-raising effort and 80% to the public market listing effort, and these portions of each total contract are recognized in the period when each identifiable event is completed.
Revenues are not recognized for the value of securities received as payment for services when there is no public trading market and there have been no recent private sales of the security.
Valuation of marketable securities. Marketable securities are classified as trading securities, which are carried at their fair value based upon quoted market prices of those investments at each period-end. Accordingly, net realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in net income.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
In October 2004, the Registrant issued 15,326,650 shares of Common Stock in a transaction that was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) to the Trust pursuant to the Acquisition. The Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the shares for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict transfer. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid by the Company.
In December 2004, the Company issued 59,835 shares to an entity in connection with the conversion of warrants purchased from MyOffiz prior to the Acquisition. The Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the shares for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict transfer. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid by the Company.
In December 2004, pursuant to consulting agreements between the Company and eighteen individuals and one company, we agreed to issue 1,565,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services rendered on behalf of the Company, which included 500,000 restricted shares which were issued to the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Brock. The Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the shares for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict transfer. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid by the Company.
Registered Sales of Equity Securities.
In October 2004, the Company issued 20,000 free trading shares of Common Stock to one of the Companys Attorneys, Michael T. Williams, pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement.
In October 2004, the Company agreed to issue two individuals 150,000 free trading shares of the Companys common stock in connection with services provided to the Company, pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement. These shares have not been issued by the Company.
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
Certain errors, resulting in an understatement of previously reported net income and overstatement of previously reported paid in capital as of September 30, 2004, were discovered by the Companys management on February 11, 2005, in the ordinary course of business, subsequent to the Company' issuing the original report.
The Company became aware of the errors in the September 30, 2004, financial statements in connection with the preparation of the December 31, 2004 financial statements. For instance, during the preparation of the December 31, 2004 financials, the Company became aware of the fact that the stock prices for Urbanalien Corporation, which the Company used in its September 30, 2004 calculations, were misstated on Nasdaq.com. The Company has discussed all of the matters disclosed in the attached revised financials with its independent auditor prior to this filing.
Adjustments have been made as of September 30, 2004, to correct the following errors:
On the Companys previous financial statements, the Companys holdings of Urbanalien Corporation stock were incorrectly valued, using $.51 instead of the more accurate $.03 per share, which accounted for a $399,360 drop in total unrealized holding gains.
The Companys holdings of Winfield Financial Group, Inc. stock were overstated by 400,000 shares. The subsequent change to the restated financial statements lowered their valuation by $140,000 at the $.35 market price.
Acies Corporation paid the Company $450,000 during fiscal 2004 for services which was incorrectly included as a capital contribution instead of revenues.
The Companys holdings of 212,222 shares of Nevwest Securities at $.09 per share were incorrectly not counted during the original audit.
Two real estate investments and two additional real estate purchase deposits totaling $275,000 original cost and $158,832 in mortgage debt were incorrectly not included in the financial statements as originally presented.
Accounts receivable contained errors in the priced values of securities to be received for services under the revenue recognition policy that records revenues based on the extent of services performed each accounting period.
Accounts receivable was not properly reduced by the deferred revenue portion on a by-client basis.
The Chief Executive Officers $65,000 salary for the audited period was erroneously not included.
A summary of these changes is as follows:

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant
As a result of the Acquisition as discussed above control of the Company shifted to Stephen Brock who beneficially owns 16,322,150 shares (or approximately 75.8%) of the Companys Common Stock personally, and through the Trust. Stephen Brock, the Registrants President, is the trustee of the Trust and an officer and director of GPT.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
(b) On October 5, 2004, Jaren Chan Eng Ann, Michael Chang and Horfumi Inagawa resigned as directors of the Registrant. On that same date, Mr. Ann resigned as the Registrants President and Mr. Chang resigned as the Registrants Treasurer.
(c) On October 5, 2004, the Registrants Board of Directors, via unanimous signed written consent, appointed Stephen Brock as the Registrants President, Secretary and Treasurer.
Stephen Brock, age 47, has served as a director of the Registrant and as the Registrants President, Secretary and Treasurer since October 2004, after the Registrant acquired PCMS. Mr. Brock concurrently serves as President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Subsidiaries. Mr. Brock has served as President, Secretary and Treasurer of GPT, PWP, NF, and PCMS since their inceptions in May 2000, July 2003, August 1998, and July 2004, respectively. Mr. Brock also served as President and Director of the Nevada Business Journal from June 1996 to February 2000. As an entrepreneur, Mr. Brock has formed several companies devoted to the small-cap market. Mr. Brock is a registered investment advisor. Mr. Brock holds NASD Series 7, 24, 63, and 65 licenses. In addition, after attending the University of Maryland, Mr. Brock held an Executive Directorship of the Institute for Constitutional Rights for two years.
Stephen Brock, our President, Secretary and Treasurer, provides office space to us at $1,500 per month on a month to month basis. The Company has no lease with Mr. Brock.
Mr. Brock launched M & A Capital as a broker-dealer in 2004. Mr. Brock is the General Partner of Brock Family LP, which manages M & A Capital. M & A Capital provides capital raising services and facilitates Reverse Listings. In that regard, the Company periodically evaluates with M & A Capital potential acquisitions, financing transactions, initial public offerings, reverse listings, strategic alliances, and sale opportunities involving the Companys client companies. Such transactions could have an impact on the valuation of the Company. These transactions and activities are generally not disclosed to the Companys stockholders and the investing public until such time as the transactions are publicly announced or completed, as the case may be.
(d) On October 5, 2004, the Registrants Board of Directors, via unanimous signed written consent, appointed Stephen Brock as the Registrants sole Director to fill the vacancy created by the resignations, discussed above.
Mr. Brock has not been named to any committees of the Registrants Board of Directors, and any committees of the Registrants Board of Directors to which Mr. Brock may be named have not been determined, as of the filing of this Report.
Item 8.01 Other Events

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
(a)
Financial statements of Public Company Management Corporation.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Public Company Management Corporation
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Public Company Management Corporation (PCMC) as of September 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the 9-month period ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of PCMC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform each audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PCMC, Inc. as of September 30, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the periods then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, certain errors resulting in an understatement of previously reported net income and overstatement of previously reported paid in capital as of September 30, 2004, were discovered by management of PCMC subsequent to issuing the original report. Accordingly, adjustments have been made as of September 30, 2004, to correct the errors.

PUBLIC COMPANY MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nevada Fund was incorporated in Nevada on August 20, 1998. GoPublicToday.com,
Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on May 26, 2000. Pubco WhitePapers, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2003. Public Company Management Services, Inc. (PCMS) was incorporated in Nevada on July 16, 2004. Prior to that date, PCMS was operated as a sole proprietorship by its founder Stephen Brock.
Principles of consolidation. All of these entities have been wholly or mostly owned by Stephen Brock or entities under his majority control since their inception. All of these entities were purchased by an inactive publicly-traded entity called MyOffiz, Inc. on October 1, 2004. For purposes of this financial statement, all of these entities are presented on a consolidated basis. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
These entities were formed to help small businesses create long-term value by participating in public capital markets. Pubco WhitePapers hosts a comprehensive body of knowledge on private and public equity markets. GoPublicToday.com offers access to a Registered Investment Adviser to qualified companies. Public Company Management Services assists new and existing public companies in maintaining their public company status and creating sustainable and affordable compliance processes.
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, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fiscal Year-end for these companies was December 31 for all years until 2004, when it was changed to September 30.
Cash Equivalents. Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
Marketable securities are classified as trading securities, which are carried at their fair value based upon quoted market prices of those investments at each period-end. Accordingly, net realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in net income.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when the earning process is complete and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally considered to have occurred upon performance and acceptance of the services provided. For 2004 and 2003, there were no refunds or warranty claims. The services provided sometimes take several months. For some of the services contracts, there are two specifically-identifiable events which may be separated: the initial private fund-raising effort and the public market listing effort. Revenues under the total contract has been allocated 20% to the private fund-raising effort and 80% to the public market listing effort, and these portions of each total contract are recognized in the period when each identifiable event is completed.
Revenues are not recognized for the value of securities received as payment for services when there is no public trading market and there have been no recent private sales of the security.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on credit experience. As of December 31, 2003, a $0 allowance is provided.
Website Capitalized Costs consist of amounts spent on design and creation of the graphics and website operation. Amounts spent on early conceptualizing, maintenance or content are expensed as incurred.
Real estate investments include an unoccupied house and condominium and deposits on 2 other houses, all located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Long-lived Assets. Property and equipment are stated on the basis of historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. No impairment losses have been recorded since inception.
Income Taxes. U.S. and foreign income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Stock Options and Warrants. PCMC accounts for stock-based compensation to employees under the intrinsic value method. Under this method, PCMC recognizes no compensation expense for stock options granted when the number of underlying shares is known and exercise price of the option is greater than or equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. PCMC accounts for stock-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option-pricing modeling method. There are no options or warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2004
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. PCMC does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE
On certain occasions, PCMC allows its customers to convert their amounts payable to PCMC into notes. As of September 30, 2004, 3 clients owed promissory notes for services rendered and valued at $550,000, with interest ranging from 4% to 6% per year.
The note receivable from Acies is convertible into 1,400,000 shares of Acies stock if not paid on time in May 2005.

NOTE 5 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT
PCMC has two bank lines of credit. $45,000 is owed to Bank of America, which is the credit limit. The interest rate is at bank's prime + 2%, there is no collateral, and the line expires April 25, 2005. $43,126 is owed to Wells Fargo, against a $43,500 credit limit. The interest rate is at bank's prime + 7.75%, there is no collateral, and the line renews annually in June.
NOTE 6 - INSTALLMENT NOTES PAYABLE
PCMC borrowed $168,550 to purchase a house as an investment property in early 2003. The money was borrowed in the form of two loans, due in 180 equal installments of $1,282, including interest at 6% for the $141,600 primary mortgage and 8% for the $26,550 second lien.
PCMC purchased a new car from an auto dealer in June 2004. GMAC financed the purchase in 60 equal monthly installments of $905, including interest at 4.99%.
As of September 30, 2004, $14,266 was due in fiscal 2005, $15,131 in fiscal 2006, $16,049 in fiscal 2007, $17,028 in fiscal 2008, $16,253 in fiscal 2009, and $158,776 thereafter.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
Income taxes were not due in 2003 since PCMC's predecessor PCMS was a sole proprietorship. Beginning in 2004, deferred income taxes are shown at a 34% rate. No taxes are currently owed since amounts receivable and gains from holding securities are deferred for tax purposes.
NOTE 8 - MINORITY INTEREST
As of September 30, 2004, other shareholders owned 7.9% of GoPublicToday.com and 2% of Nevada Fund. Because all of these companies were merged on October 1, 2004, and because these minority shareholders separately received stock in the publicly-traded registrant MyOffiz at that time, minority ownership is not separately stated in these financial statements, but rather included in the overall shares outstanding as of September 30, 2004.
NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK
The Brock family received 15,326,650 shares and the minority shareholders received 404,624 shares in MyOffiz, Inc. on October 1, 2004. The total of 15,731,274 shares is shown as of outstanding during the periods presented herein.
On October 1, 2004, these entities described herein were acquired by a purchase by MyOffiz, Inc. accounted for as a reverse merger. 4,593,350 shares of MyOffiz were outstanding prior to the combination, and 20,324,624 shares are currently outstanding.
NOTE 10 - CONCENTRATIONS
Two customers accounted for 44.5% and 31% of total revenues in 2004, respectively. No other customer and no vendor accounted for as much as 10% of 2004 or 2003 revenues or purchases.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS
PCMC leases its office space from its founder and majority shareholder at $1,500 per month on a month-to-month basis. Rent expense of $13,500 and $18,000 was recorded in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
See Notes 8 and 9 for discussion of the merger that occurred October 1, 2004.
In November 2004, PCMC converted its $100,000 note due from Megola to 1,000,000 shares of Megola's stock.
NOTE 13 - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PCMC's holdings of Urbanalien stock were incorrectly valued, using $.51 instead of the more accurate $.03 per share, or a $399,360 drop in total unrealized holding gains.
PCMC's holdings of Winfield stock were overstated by 400,000 shares. This dropped their valuation by $140,000 at the $.35 market price.
Acies paid PCMC $450,000 during fiscal 2004 for services which was incorrectly included as a capital contribution instead of revenues.
PCMC's holdings of 212,222 shares of Nevwest Securities at $.09 per share were incorrectly not counted during the audit.
Two real estate investments and two additional real estate purchase deposits totaling $275,000 original cost and $158,832 in mortgage debt were incorrectly not included in the financial statements as originally presented.
Accounts receivable contained errors in the priced values of securities to be received for services under the revenue recognition policy that records revenues based on the extent of services performed each accounting period.
Accounts receivable was not properly reduced by the deferred revenue portion on a by-client basis.
The CEO's $65,000 salary for the period was erroneously not included.
