non-accredited investors subject to the requirements of Rule 506 of Regulation D
and the rules promulgated under the Securities Act upon the written consent of
the Company. Complete definitions are provided in the Investor Questionnaire and

I. SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
The Company is offering up to 1,000 Units, through the Placement Agents
and broker-dealers selected by the Placement Agents, at a price of $3,000 per
Unit, in a limited offering to "accredited investors" as defined in Regulation D
under the Securities Act and a limited number of non-accredited investors
subject to the requirements of Rule 506 of Regulation D and the rules
promulgated under the Securities Act. Each Unit consists of (a) 2,500 shares
(each, a "Share") of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share
(the "Common Stock"), (b) one $1,500.00 11% Convertible Promissory Note due
2009, Series A (a "Note") (maturing in September 1, 2009 and convertible into
shares of Common Stock at an exchange rate of one share per $0.85 of principal
and accrued and unpaid interest) and (c) a warrant (a "Warrant") to purchase 300
shares (each, a "Warrant Share") of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.85
per Warrant Share which is exercisable for a period of five years from issuance.
The aggregate price to purchase each Unit is $3,000. Fractional Units may be
sold with the consent of the Placement Agent and the Company. The Shares, the
Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are, collectively, referred to as
"Securities."
1
COMMON STOCK
The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement
attached as EXHIBIT A hereto. Holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company
are entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all shareholders meetings
for all purposes, including the election of directors, and to share equally on a
per share basis in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors
out of funds legally available therefore. Upon liquidation or dissolution, each
outstanding share of Common Stock will be entitled to share equally in the
assets of the Company legally available for distribution to shareholders after
the payment of all debts and other liabilities. Shares of Common Stock are not
redeemable, have no conversion rights and carry no preemptive or other rights to
subscribe to or purchase additional shares in the event of a subsequent
offering. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares offered
hereby will be when issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Purchasers of Units and the Placement Agent will be entitled to
"piggyback" registration rights pursuant to the form of registration rights
agreement attached to the Subscription Agreement for Common Stock sold in a Unit
and Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants and warrants
issued to the Placement Agent in connection with this Offering.
NOTES
The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement
attached as EXHIBIT A hereto and in form of the Note attached as EXHIBIT C
hereto and will be convertible into Common Stock at the rate of one Share per
$0.85 of face value of the Notes. The Notes will be due September 1, 2009. The
Notes may not be converted prior to the date six months after their issuance,
and are subject to prepayment at face value after such date on thirty (30) days
written notice to the holder. Until paid in full, the Company shall pay simple
interest on a quarterly basis at the rate of eleven percent (11%) per annum. The
other terms and conditions of the convertible debt are set forth in the form of
Note.

attached as EXHIBIT A hereto and in the form of the Warrant attached as EXHIBIT

years from the date of issuance if not previously exercised. The Placement
Agents will receive Warrants as additional compensation in connection with the
Offering herewith. The other terms and conditions of the warrant are set forth
in the form of Warrant.

II. RISK FACTORS
The Units offered hereby are highly speculative, illiquid, and subject
to a high degree of risk and uncertainty, including but not limited to, the risk
factors set forth below. Investment should only be made by those investors who
can retain this investment for an indefinite period of time. In addition to the
other information set forth in this Memorandum, investors must carefully
consider the following information before purchasing the Units offered hereby.
RISKS OF THE COMPANY
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; RECENT LOSSES; CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The
Company has only been operating for a short time and has not yet achieved
significant sales nor made a profit from operations. The Company anticipates
that its operating expenses will be increasing for a variety of factors and this
Offering will not generate sufficient cash to keep the Company solvent for an
extended period unless alternative sources of funding are obtained. The Company
has had negative cash flow since inception and expects to continue to have
insufficient liquidity and cash resources until such time as its revenues
increase substantially. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to achieve, or maintain, profitable operations or positive cash flow at any time
in the future. Even if the Offering hereunder is sold, additional funding will
be required to expand the sales and marketing efforts also needed to generate
the revenue levels projected. The Company may seek additional debt or equity
financing through banks, other financial institutions, companies or individuals.
No assurance can be give that the Company will be able to obtain any such
additional financing, nor can it be assured that any such additional financing
will be adequate to meet the Company's needs to remain a viable, going concern.
MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. The Company anticipates rapid growth in the
future if this Offering is successful. This growth, if achieved, will place
significant strains on the Company's financial, technical, managerial and other
resources. Failure to effectively manage growth could have a severe adverse
effect on the Company and its cash position.
COMPETITIVE FACTORS. The industry in which the Company's products will
be competing is highly competitive. There can be no assurance given that the
Company will have the ability and capital to compete effectively in this
environment.
PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE. Bottling, marketing and sale of the
Company's products will entail risk of product liability to the Company. The
Company does not now carry product liability insurance and may be unable to
obtain adequate levels of insurance to protect itself from these potential
liabilities even if it opts to seek such insurance in the future. The only form
of insurance which the Company now carries is a general liability insurance
policy intended to cover risks associated with injuries and damage to third
parties when on Company property.
CONTROL BY XXXX XXXX/DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. Xxxx Xxxx will
control approximately 46.2% of the Common Stock of the Company, based on current
issued and outstanding Common Stock, sale of the 2,500,000 shares of Common
Stock in the Offering and assuming exercise of the Warrants and the warrants
issued to the Placement Agent in connection with this Offering (but no exercise
of other issued and outstanding options and no converstion of preferred stock)
3
and 50.6% of the Common Stock of the Company, based on current issued and
outstanding Common Stock, sale of the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in the
Offering and assuming exercise of the Warrants, the warrants issued to the
Placement Agent in connection with this Offering and all other issued and
outstanding options (but no converstion of preferred stock).
Xx. Xxxx is also President and sole Director of the Company. Although
he will expand the Board of Directors to include three members upon completion
of this Offering, Xx. Xxxx as sole Director will fill the vacancies, and the
board as so constituted will nominate subsequent candidates to the Board of
Directors. In subsequent years, election of directors will be by the
stockholders. Therefore, Xx. Xxxx will effectively control all affairs and
policies of the Company after completion of this Offering.
At present, Xxxx Xxxx is also the sole employee of the Company, and
therefore the Company is dependent upon Xx. Xxxx with respect to the management
and operations of the Company in all respects. If Xx. Xxxx is unable to devote
substantial time and attention to the operations of the Company for whatever
reason, the Company will be materially adversely affected.
UNSPECIFIED USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company has not fully identified the
particular uses of the proceeds of this Offering other than payment of a fee up
to $300,000 to the Placement Agents and payment of other fees and expenses of
this Offering. Investors will not have the opportunity to influence management's
decision on expenditure of these proceeds, and must rely upon the ability of
management to identify and make business decisions consistent with the Company's
objectives, which may include entering into new lines of business that
management has not yet identified.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. The Company limits
its rights to recover from its officers and directors from their actions which
damage the Company except if they act in bad faith. These limitations on the
officer and director liability could result in the Company incurring costs to
defend their actions and damages from their action which the Company can not
recover and this could adversely affect the Company.
RISKS OF THE UNITS
LEVERAGE AND DEBT SERVICE. Although the Company may use some of the
proceeds to retire debt of the Company, the Company will remain highly leveraged
after the Offering. Holders of the Notes will be relying upon revenues derived
from the Company's operations, which cannot be assured, to pay the interest and
retire the Notes. No sinking fund will be established, and cash flow from
operations may be insufficient to make the required Note payments.
ILLIQUIDITY AND LACK OF PUBLIC MARKET. No active public market is
anticipated for the Shares, Warrant Shares or Notes.
4
LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF THE UNITS. Transferability of the Shares,
Warrant Shares, Notes and Warrants is restricted. The Units, therefore, must be
considered a long-term investment. The Shares, Warrant Shares, Notes and
Warrants may be sold, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of only if registered
under the Act and under applicable state securities "blue sky" laws or pursuant
to an exemption from such registration. Thus, the Company may require prior to
any transfer of Shares, Warrant Shares, a Note or Warrant that the holder
thereof or the proposed transferee obtain an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Company to the effect that registration is not required.
BEST EFFORTS OFFERING. No assurance can be given that the Offering will
be subscribed to either in whole or in part. The Placement Agent has no
obligation to purchase Units.
CURRENT AND FUTURE DILUTION. Assuming conversion of the Notes into
Common Stock, the holders of the Shares would experience a substantial dilution.
Investors may be subject to further dilution if the Company sells additional
shares of Common Stock in the future. The Company may also increase its stock
option program for key employees and consultants, which would further dilute the
position of investors hereunder.
ARBITRARY OFFERING PRICE. The Unit price, the conversion feature, and
the Warrant exercise price have been determined through negotiation between the
Company and the Placement Agents. These values were selected arbitrarily and do
not necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's asset value, net worth,
earnings or any other established criterion of value.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. The Units are being offered in
reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Act and applicable state
laws. If an offer or sale occurs in violation of the Act or applicable state
laws, it could have a severe negative impact on the Company and the investors.
OTHER RISK FACTORS
The Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on March 30, 2004 and
attached hereto as EXHIBIT E and Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on August 13,
2004 and attached hereto as EXHIBIT F discuss additional risk factors and other
matters which should be considered by a prospective investor. Prospective
investors should not only review the Form 10-KSB as attached hereto in its
entirety, but should review any amendments thereto or other filings under the
Securities Exchange Act as filed by the Company in the future prior to investing
in the Units.
FUTURE FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND GOING CONCERN. There are no assurances
we will be successful in raising the funds required to operate our business.
Within the next year further funds will be needed to meet our obligations under
the purchase agreement for the Xxxxxxxxx Springs property as described below,
and to fund improvements to that property and its initial operations. While we
develop our new business strategy and seek further funding we plan to use funds
generated from our spring water sales to fund our current level of operating
activities. If we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from
operations or in raising sufficient capital resources such as through this
Offering, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial
5
condition. Our independent certified public accountants have stated in their
report included in our December 31, 2003 Form 10-KSB, that we have incurred
operating losses since our inception, and that we are dependent upon
management's ability to develop profitable operations. These factors among
others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
HISTORY OF LOSSES. We have a history of incurring losses from
operations. As of June 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$707,284. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially
in the foreseeable future as we increase our sales and marketing activities.
These activities may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we
may incur significant additional costs and expenses in connection with our
business development activities. Such costs and expenses could prevent us from
achieving or maintaining profitability in future periods. If we do achieve
profitability in any period, we may not be able to sustain or increase our
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
III. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE SECURITIES OFFERING
Net proceeds to us from the sale of the Units at the Offering price of
$3,000 per Unit are estimated to be up to $3,000,000 prior to deducting offering
expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds as follows:
Working Capital and Repayment of Existing Debt and
Liabilities $ 2,500,000
Fees and Expenses (including Placement Agent fees and
legal and accounting expenses) $ 500,000
TOTAL $ 3,000,000
----- -----------
The Company may use brokers, dealers, finders, investment bankers,
venture capitalists or strategic partners to locate investors. In such event, an
engagement, success or finder's fee or commission may be paid. An estimate of
those fees and commissions are included in the "fees and expenses" caption
above. We anticipate that such fees will equal ten (10%) of the proceeds from
the sale of the Securities.
IV. THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS
THE FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS
AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION SET FORTH IN
THE COMPANY'S FORM 10-KSB ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT C. POTENTIAL INVESTORS
SHOULD REVIEW THE COMPANY'S FORM 10-KSB IN ITS ENTIRETY PRIOR TO SUBSCRIBING TO
PURCHASE ANY UNITS.

The Company was formerly known as "Pre-Settlement Funding Corporation"
and was formed on October 14, 1999 under the laws of the state of Delaware. We
changed the name from Pre-Settlement Funding Corporation to "Xxxxxxxxx Holdings,
Inc." on September 26th, 2003. The Company is a development stage enterprise, as
defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ("SFAS No. 7").
Our principal executive offices are located at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx. The Company uses these facilities on a pay-as-needed
basis, which includes phone answering service and mail collection. The Company
believes that the current facilities are suitable for its current needs.
In October 2003, the Company acquired real property enabling it to
enter a business involving spring water bottling and sale. The property acquired
is located in Mt. Xxxxxx in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia. The spring
has a flow in excess of 1 million gallons of water daily.
The main focus of the Company's current operations is the establishment
of a business selling spring water from the company's property. The Company may
pursue other business opportunities as it sees appropriate.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's business plan is to sell its spring water to other
bottlers, and it may enter into co-packing arrangements whereby other bottlers
will bottle Xxxxxxxxx Springs water under their name or under private labeling
agreements with other retailers or distributors. Private label bottled water is
Xxxxxxxxx Springs water bottled under another company's brand name.
Selling to the private labeled bottled water market will allow the
Company to sell our water without the expense of an advertising budget that is
required to establish brand recognition and market identity.
In its initial operations, the Company will focus on bulk water sales.
Bulk water sales are achieved by the arrival of a tanker at the Company spring
site. The buyer loads the water at the spring site and takes it to the bottling
and packaging facility used by the private label bottler. The company intends to
install a state of the art bulk water loading facility and is in the discussion
stage with surveyors and contractors.
The Company currently does not have its own bottling and packaging
facilities. Should the Company sell water under the Xxxxxxxxx Springs label it
will do so by using outside bottling and packaging facilities. Currently there
are no plans to build bottling and packaging facilities.

BOTTLED WATER MARKET OVERVIEW
According to the Beverage World Beverage Databank for 2002, the
multiple beverage market accounted for retail revenue of $205.10 billion in
2001, an increase from $199.67 billion from 2000, an increase of 2.7%.
Soft drinks account for nearly 50% of annual beverage gallonage,
with 15.41 billion gallons purchased in 2001, with a retail sales value of
$55.94 billion. However, bottled water, which falls into the category of
"alternative beverages," has grown significantly in recent years, and in
particular there is strong demand for products that contain spring water.
In 2002, United States bottled water wholesale dollar sales rose
12.3% over 2001 sales to $7.7 billion for 5.95 billion gallonage. In 2001,
bottled water accounted for $6.9 billion dollars for 5.4 billion gallonage.
Sales of bottled water had doubled from 1.56 billion gallons in 1987 to 3.12
billion gallons in 1996 ($4.3 billion in sales).

According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, in 2002 54.2% of
the Bottled Water market was sold by the top ten brands in the United States,
leaving 45.8% of the market available to other brands, smaller companies, and
private label brands.
The bottled water market comprises three major segments: still or
non-sparkling, sparkling, and imported water. Xxxxxxxxx Springs water could be
used in both sparkling and non-sparkling applications.
- Non-sparkling or still water contains no carbonation and is
consumed as an alternative to tap water.
- Sparkling water contains either natural or artificial carbonation
and is positioned to compete in the broad refreshment beverage
field.
- Imported water, which includes both sparkling and non-sparkling
water produced and bottled outside the U.S., is targeted to
image-conscious consumers.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company is still in the development stage and has generated no
revenue from continuing operations. In 2003, we purchased land and spring
located in Mt. Xxxxxx in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia. The spring has
a flow in excess of 1 million gallons of water daily.
8
The further development of this business will include, but not be
limited to, developing marketing materials, renting additional office space, and
interviewing and hiring administrative, marketing and maintenance personnel. We
may experience fluctuations in operating results in future periods due to a
variety of factors including, but not limited to, market acceptance of our
product, our ability to obtain additional financing in a timely manner and on
terms favorable to us, our ability to successfully integrate prospective asset
acquisitions to our existing business operation, delays or errors in our ability
to upgrade and develop our systems and infrastructure in a timely and effective
manner, technical difficulties, system downtime or utility brownouts, our
ability to attract customers at a steady rate and maintain customer
satisfaction, the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures
relating to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure and the
implementation of marketing programs, key agreements and strategic alliances,
the number of products offered by the Company, and general economic conditions
particular to the beverage market and specifically the spring water industry.
For the period from our inception to date, we have:
- Formed our company and established our initial structure
- Sought and pursued investment opportunities
- Reviewed and analyzed the potential market for Spring water
- Purchased the Xxxxxxxxx Springs property and procured the
necessary financing in the form of Preferred Stock to cover
the initial purchase costs
- Performed required testing of water quality at the Spring
site
- Initiated development of a web site as part of our marketing
strategy
- Entered into a commission agreement with one sales source
The market for bottled non-carbonated water, which will be the most
significant for the Company, has been consistently growing at nearly 30% per
annum from 1996 through 2000. Still water now comprises over 92% of all of the
bottled water gallonage sold in the United States, with sparkling water
accounting for the remaining 8%.
GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS AND DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
Nationally, bottled water accounts for 12.2% of all beverages
consumed in the United States. Water is sold through various channels,

BOTTLED WATER CLASSIFICATIONS AND DEFINITIONS
Xxxxxxxxx Springs water qualifies as a natural spring water. It is
also a mineral water containing 300 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved
solids (TDS).
BOTTLED WATER means water that is intended for human consumption and
that is sealed in bottles or other containers with no added ingredients except
that it may optionally contain safe and suitable anti-microbial agents. Fluoride
may be optionally added within the limitations established in federal
regulations, 21 CFR Section 165.110(b)(4)(ii). Firms may manufacture
non-standardized bottled water products with ingredients such as minerals for
flavor. The common or usual name of the resultant product must reflect these
additions. Bottled water may be used as an ingredient in beverages (e.g.,
diluted juices, flavored bottled waters). It does not include those food
ingredients that are declared in ingredient labeling as "water," "carbonated
water," "disinfected water," "filtered water," "xxxxxxx water," "soda water,"
"sparkling water," and "tonic water."
NATURAL WATER means bottled spring, mineral, artesian, or well water
which is derived from an underground formation or water from surface water that
only requires minimal processing, is not derived from a municipal system or
public water supply, and is unmodified except for limited treatment (e.g.,
filtration, ozonation or equivalent disinfection process).
SPRING WATER means water derived from an underground formation from
which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth. Spring water must
comply with the FDA standard of identity in federal regulation 21 CFR
165.110(a)(2)(vi). Spring water must be collected only at the spring or through
a borehole tapping the underground formation feeding the spring. There must be a
natural force causing the water to flow to the surface through a natural
orifice. The location of the spring must be identified, and such identification
must be maintained in the company's records. Spring water collected with the use
of an external force may be from the same underground striation as the spring,
as shown by a measurable hydraulicconnection using a hydro-geologically valid
method between the bore hole and the natural spring, and must have all the
physical properties, before treatment, and be of the same composition and
quality, as the water that flows naturally to the surface of the earth. If
spring water is collected with the use of an external force, water must continue
to flow naturally to the surface of the earth through the spring's natural
orifice.
10
MINERAL WATER is distinguished from other types of water by its
constant level and relative proportions of minerals and trace elements at the
point of emergence from the source, due account being taken of the cycles of
natural fluctuations. No minerals may be added to this water.
SPARKLING BOTTLED WATER means bottled water that, after treatment
and possible replacement of carbon dioxide, contains the same amount of carbon
dioxide that it had at the emergence from the source. Manufacturers may add
carbonation to previously non-carbonated bottled water products and label such
water appropriately (e.g., sparkling spring water).
DRINKING WATER means water that is intended for human consumption
and that is sealed in bottles or other containers with no added ingredients
except that it may optionally contain safe and suitable anti-microbial agents.
Fluoride may be optionally added within the limitations established in federal
regulation 21 CFR Section 165.110(b)(4)(ii). Firms may manufacture
non-standardized drinking water products with ingredients such as minerals for
flavor. The common or usual name of the resultant product must reflect these
additions. Drinking water may be used as an ingredient in beverages (e.g.,
diluted juices, flavored bottled waters). It does not include those food
ingredients that are declared in ingredient labeling as "water," "carbonated
water," "disinfected water," "filtered water," "xxxxxxx water," "soda water,"
"sparkling water," and "tonic water."
WELL WATER or "ARTESIAN" means bottled water from a well tapping a
confined aquifer in which the water level stands at some height above the top of
the aquifer. Artesian water may be collected with the assistance of external
force to enhance the natural underground pressure.
GROUND WATER means water from a subsurface saturated zone that is
under a pressure equal to or greater than atmospheric pressure. Ground water
must not be under the direct influence of surface water.
PURIFIED WATER means bottled water produced by distillation,
de-ionization, reverse osmosis, or other suitable process and that meets the
definition of purified water.
WELL WATER means water from a hole bored, drilled, or otherwise
constructed in the ground which taps the water of an aquifer.
COMPETITION
The beverage industry, and in particular, the bottled water
industry, is extremely competitive and seasonal. Depending upon the method of
entry and plan of action a particular company chooses to employ, it is generally
very costly to achieve market penetration and expansion. Our intended initial
focus on bulk sales of spring water is a relatively low cost plan of action. The
leaders in the United Sates bottled water business, based on total estimated
sales (at wholesale), according to Beverage Marketing Corporation are:
11
Market Share as a % of Total
Estimated Wholesale Sales
2002 2001
Aquafina 10.8% 9.4%
Dasani 9.9% 8.2%
Poland Spring 8.0% 7.9%
Arrowhead 5.9% 5.8%
Sparkletts 4.2% 5.3%
Deer Park 4.0% 3.6%
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx 3.5% 3.4%
Ozarka 2.7% 2.7%
Zephyrhills 2.6% 2.7%
Evian 2.5% 3.1%
Subtotal 54.2% 52.0%
All Others 45.8% 48.0%
TOTAL 100.0% 100.0%
The Company's initial marketing strategy is targeted primarily to
build awareness of the Company's natural spring water to private label bottlers.
The Company intends to compete by selective advertising and direct contact with
potential purchasers. The Company will contract with commission-only sales
sources to facilitate sales. To date the company has undertaken one such
contract.
The one contract we have secured to date is with Spring Tree Farm
Group Inc., a company based in Potomac, Maryland. Under the contract, Spring
Tree is obligated to purchase or pay for (even if not removed from the Spring) a
certain minimum amount of water per day for five years. We expect this contract
to yield approximately $180,000 in annual revenue. Nevertheless, because Spring
Tree has not begun fulfillment of the contract for which it has contracted to
purchase our water, the Company has waived compliance with the contract's
"take-or-pay" purchase obligations. We expect, though we have no legal
obligation to do so, to continue to forebear from enforcing the "take-or-pay"
obligation in the agreement until such time as Spring Tree begins to haul water
from the Spring.

VI. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
PLAN OF OPERATION
In the previous year ended December 31, 2003, we entered a business
involving the sale of bulk spring water. We purchased a property with a suitable
source of water for the sum of $1 million. We are still in the development stage
and have yet to recognize any income from this business line. We are currently
identifying customers and plan to begin selling water in the third or fourth
quarter of 2004.
We discontinued our previous operations involving funding of
personal injury cases.
As part of our reorganization of our business and to better reflect
our current activities and plan of operations, the company name was changed from
Pre-Settlement Funding Corporation to Xxxxxxxxx Holdings, Inc.
Our business plan is to sell our spring water to other bottlers, and
we may enter into co-packing arrangements whereby other bottlers will bottle
Xxxxxxxxx Springs water under private labeling agreements with other retailers
or distributors. Private label bottled water is Xxxxxxxxx Springs water bottled
under another company's brand name.
13
Selling to the private labeled bottled water market will allow us to
sell our water without the expense of an advertising budget that is required to
establish brand recognition and market identity.
In our initial operations, we will focus on bulk water sales. Bulk
water sales are achieved by the arrival of a tanker at our spring site. The
buyer loads the water at the spring site and takes it to the bottling and
packaging facility used by the private label bottler. We intend to construct a
state of the art bulk water loading facility, beginning in the fourth quarter of
2004.
We currently do not have our own bottling and packaging facilities.
Should we sell water under the Xxxxxxxxx label we will do so by using outside
bottling and packaging facilities. Currently there are no plans to build
bottling and packaging facilities.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002:
REVENUES
We have generated no revenues from continuing operations from
inception. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company generated $1,625
from the discontinued settlement business compared to $9,226 in 2002, and
$16,901 from inception. We anticipate sales of spring water commencing in the
second half of 2004.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
From our inception through December 31, 2003, we have incurred
losses of $566,688. These expenses were associated principally with stock
issuances to our founders, legal, consulting and accounting fees and costs in
connection with the development of our business plan, market research, and the
preparation of our registration statement.
The Company incurred operating expenses of $224,604 during the year
ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $366,826 of expenses in 2002. The costs
in 2002 were higher due to the Company incurring higher legal, consulting, and
accounting fees and costs in connection with the development of the Company's
business plan, market research, and the preparation of the Company's
Registration Statement. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company was
released from its obligations to a former employee and several creditors for
unpaid accrued salaries and liabilities of approximately $747,000. The Company
recognized $740,000 of other income in connection with extinguishment of debt.
The 2003 expenses are composed principally of accrued salary for the
company's sole employee, accounting fees, interest on notes and loans,
consulting fees associated with acquisition of land and spring, and legal fees
associated with the administration of the corporate entity. There are no
significant costs associated with the discontinued pre-settlement funding
business.
14
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2003, we had a working capital deficit of
$710,171. Of this, $415,000 represents the current portion of notes payable
related to our acquisition of the Spring property and notes due to Xxxx Xxxx and
Xxxxxxxx Street Capital, an investment company owned by Xx. Xxxx. An additional
$148,547 represents accounts payable and accrued liabilities including accrued
interest on the notes. A further $121,936 relates to shareholder advances. As a
result of our operating losses from our inception through December 31, 2003, we
generated a cash flow deficit of $344,157 from operating activities.
We met our cash requirements during this period through issuance of
capital notes of $139,000 and notes payable of $115,000, issuance of $275,000 of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and $121,936 cash advances from
shareholders, net of repayments.
We also issued a promissory note for $700,000 in connection with the
acquisition of the spring and surrounding land in October 2003. The loan is
secured by the real property and guaranteed by the Company's President.
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 VERSUS THREE MONTHS
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003:
REVENUES
No revenues have yet been generated from the Spring. We plan to
begin making sales commencing in the second half of 2004.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
From our inception through June 30, 2004, we have incurred expenses
of $1,421,788. Of these expenses, $747,103 was accrued but released from the
creditors in agreements during the year ended December 31, 2003. The expenses
incurred were associated principally with stock issuances to our founders,
legal, consulting and accounting fees and costs in connection with the
development of our business plan, market research, and the preparation of our
registration statement as well as the accrual of salary to our director. In the
quarter ended June 30, 2004, operating expenses were $59,490, and interest
expenses were $17,714. In the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating expenses
amounted $105,879, and interest expenses amounted to $34,717. The expenses and
interests were incurred in connection with the establishment of our spring water
business including consulting and engineering services, testing and spring
maintenance and costs associated with the administration and overhead of our
business such as accounting, legal and office expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2004, we had a working capital deficit of $708,851.
As a result of our operating losses from our inception through June 30, 2004, we
generated a cash flow deficit of $488,480 from operating activities. We met our
cash requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2004 through $153,500 of
15
proceeds from the issuance of common stock and approximately $91,800 in advances
from our principal shareholder. In respect of the common stock issuances, in
April 2004, 300,000 shares were issued for $90,000. We also issued 160,000
shares of common stock to a shareholder in exchange for previously issued stock
options exercised at $.5625 per share. In exchange for the shares, the holder of
the option paid $63,500 in cash, and tendered 5,000 shares of our previously
issued Series A preferred stock valued at $5 per share. Our accounts payable and
accrued liabilities of approximately $181,000, is composed predominantly of
liabilities to our consultants and vendors associated with the Spring, our
accountants and lawyers, and accrued payroll, representing liabilities to our
remaining employee.
While we have raised the capital necessary to meet our working
capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required if we
are to grow alternative business interests and fund the transactions and
business we have currently contracted for.
OUR INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS HAVE STATED IN THEIR
REPORT INCLUDED IN OUR DECEMBER 31, 2003 FORM 10-KSB, THAT WE HAVE INCURRED
OPERATING LOSSES SINCE ITS INCEPTION, AND THAT WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON
MANAGEMENT'S ABILITY TO DEVELOP PROFITABLE OPERATIONS. THESE FACTORS AMONG
OTHERS MAY RAISE SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING
CONCERN.
PURCHASE OF XXXXXXXXX SPRINGS
In October 2003, we took title to the property known as Xxxxxxxxx
Springs in Mt. Xxxxxx, Virginia for $1 million and a $50,000 assignment fee.
Xxxxxxxx Street Capital LLC, a business entirely owned by our principal
shareholder Xxxx X. Xxxx, contracted to purchase the property in June, 2003 and
assigned all its interests in the contract in October 2003 to Xxxxxxxxx Springs
LLC, an entity wholly owned by Xxxxxxxxx Holdings Inc. There was a payment of
$300,000 immediately due on settlement, with a further $700,000 subject to a
Promissory Note carrying a rate of 6% per annum. Under the terms of the note,
$100,000 plus interest was re-paid in April 2004, and $200,000 plus interest
will be due in October 2004. An additional $162,500 plus interest will be due in
October 2006, and the remaining principal of $237,500 and interest will be due
in October 2008, the fifth anniversary of the acquisition. A note was issued in
respect of the $50,000 assignor fee to Xxxxxxxx Street Capital. A further
Promissory Note was issued in October 2003 to Xxxx X Xxxx, for $65,000 with
interest accruing at a rate of 10% per annum and payable in October 2004.
Proceeds from the Xxxx Xxxx note and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
described below were used to meet the immediate liability under the purchase
agreement for Xxxxxxxxx Springs.
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES
In October 2003, 55,000 Series A Convertible Preferred shares were
issued and proceeds of $275,000 received. The shares are convertible into common
stock at the option of the holder at a ratio of ten shares of Common Stock for
each Preferred Share if converted before the first anniversary of the original
issue date and at a ratio of five shares of Common Stock for each Preferred
Share if conversion is made after the first anniversary but before the second
anniversary.
16
The preferred series may be redeemed for cash at the option of the
Company any time after the first anniversary of the original issue date but
before the second anniversary. The preferred shareholders shall be entitled to
cumulative dividends when, as and if declared by the board at a per share rate
of 10% per annum of the original issue price. At the option of the preferred
shareholder, accrued and unpaid cumulative dividends may be applied to the
purchase of additional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares to Common Stock. In the event of a liquidation of our Company, the
Preferred Shares rank higher than the Common Stock in determining the
distribution of assets and surplus funds. In the quarter ended June 30, 2004,
five thousand Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were cancelled as partial
payment for exercise of stock options in exchange for Common Stock.
There are no assurances we will be successful in raising the funds
required to operate our business. Within the next year further funds will be
needed to meet our obligations under the purchase agreement for the Xxxxxxxxx
Springs property as described above, and to fund improvements to that property
and its initial operations.
Failure to generate sufficient liquidity from operations or to raise
sufficient capital resources on terms acceptable to us will have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial
condition.

1. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor has received a copy of the
Company's Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated August 20, 2004
(the "Memorandum"), including all Exhibits and Attachments thereto.
2. The Investor acknowledges that: (a) the Investor has been provided with
information concerning the Company and has had an opportunity to ask
question and to obtain such additional information concerning the Company
as the Investor deems necessary in connection with the Investor's
acquisition of the Shares, Notes and Warrants; (b) information with respect

estimates and projections as to future operations involve significant
subjective judgment and analysis, which may or may not be correct; and (c)
the Company cannot, and does not, make any representation or warranty as to
the accuracy of the information concerning the past or future results of
the Company.
3. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the

and can afford the risks of making such an investment, including the risk
of losing the Investor's entire investment.

501(a) under the Securities Act) either alone or with his Purchaser
Representative (as defined in Rule 501(h) under the Securities Act) or ii)

and Warrants (or any portion thereof or interest therein) which the
Investor will acquire, and the Investor has no present plans or intentions
to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement. The

Notes and Warrants to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or
indebtedness; and the overall commitment by the Investor to investments
which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Investor's
net worth and will not become excessive as a result of investment in the
Shares, Notes and Warrants.
6
6. The Investor understands that, except as described in the Memorandum, the
Company has no obligation or intention to register the Shares, Notes,

assign, convey, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the Investor's Shares,
Notes and Warrants (or any portion thereof or interest therein) except in
accordance with the terms of such agreements and that violation of the
foregoing will cause such transfer to be void and need not be recognized by
the Company.
8. The Investor has relied solely upon the Memorandum and independent
investigations made by the Investor in making the decision to purchase the
Shares, Notes and Warrants and acknowledges that no representations or
agreements have been made to the Investor with respect thereto.

any finding or determination as to the fairness of the investment, or
any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares, Notes and Warrants as
an investment.
(b) The Investor is not dependent upon a current cash return with respect
to the Investor's investment in the Shares, Notes and Warrants, and
the Investor understands that, other than interest on the Notes,
distributions are not required to be made and that returns on an

years.
(c) The Shares, Notes and Warrants are being offered and sold to
prospective purchasers directly, and neither the Company nor any
person acting on behalf of the Company has offered to sell the Shares,
Notes and Warrants to the Investor by means of any form of general
solicitation or advertising, such as media advertising or public
seminars.
10. The Investor (i) if an individual, is at least 21 years of age; (ii) if a
partnership, is comprised of partners all of whom are at least 21 years of
age; and (iii) if a corporation, partnership, trust or other like entity,

(in the case of an individual) or principal place of business (in the case

exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder

period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise),
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The
Holder has no such present intention.
(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise
Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under

Exercise Shares of the Corporation, or to comply with any exemption from such
registration.
(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the
Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless
certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a
public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public
information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period
under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period

3

(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of
all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
(i) The Corporation shall have received a letter
secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the
proposed disposition; or
(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement
under the Act covering such proposed disposition, and such disposition is made
in accordance with said registration statement; or
(iii) The Holder shall have notified the Corporation
of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Corporation with a
detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition,
and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the
Corporation with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration
of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state
securities laws.
(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates
evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the
outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation by reason of stock dividends,
split-ups, reverse splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or
exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like,
the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and
the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the
Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number,
class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been
exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares
until after the event requiring adjustment; provided, however, that such
adjustment shall not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate
if not exercised prior to, the events set forth in Section 7 below. The form of
this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of
Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
4
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All
Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may
be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in
the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would
result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of
issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such
fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then
current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
7. EARLY TERMINATION. In the event of, at any time during the Exercise
Period, any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the capital stock
of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par
value or no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or
subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger
of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger solely
to effect a reincorporation of the Corporation into another state), or the sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of
the Corporation in its entirety to any other person, the Corporation shall
provide to the Holder twenty (20) days advance written notice of such public
offering, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale or
other disposition of the Corporation's assets, and this Warrant shall terminate
unless exercised prior to the occurrence of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale or other disposition of the
Corporation's assets.
8. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Corporation.
9. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is
lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation may, on such terms as to
indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of
a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like
denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the
Corporation, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
5

For value received XXXXXXXXX HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Payor" or the "Company") promises to pay to __________________ or his assigns
("Holder") the principal sum of $____________ with simple interest on the
outstanding principal amount at the rate of 11% per annum. The outstanding
principal amount shall be due and payable on September 30, 2009 ("Maturity
Date"). Interest shall commence with the date hereof and shall continue on the
outstanding principal until paid in full. Interest shall be payable on a
quarterly basis beginning on December 30, 2004 and then on each subsequent March
30, June 30 and September 30. Payment due on any date that is not a business day
at the Payor's principal place of business shall be due and payable on the next
business day.
1. This Note is issued as part of a series of similar notes (collectively,
the "Notes") to be issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Investor
Questionnaire and Subscription Agreement (the "Agreement"). The purchasers of
the Units (as defined in the Agreement) under the Agreement shall be referred to
herein, collectively, as the "Holders."
2. All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the
United States of America and shall be made pro rata among all Holders. All
payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to
principal.
3. At any time on or after the date six (6) months from the date of
issuance of this Note and on or prior to the Maturity Date, Holder may, by
written notice to the Company, convert the outstanding principal balance and all
unpaid accrued interest into the number of shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share ("Common Stock") of the Company equal to (i) the outstanding
principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest of this Note, divided by (ii)
$0.85 (as adjusted for any Common Stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, combinations or the like). The Company shall not issue
fractional shares, and any unconverted amounts resulting shall be paid at the
time of such conversion.

4. Unless this Note has been converted in accordance with the terms of
Section 3 above, the entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued
interest shall become fully due and payable on the Maturity Date.
5. Payor may prepay this Note in full or in part without premium or penalty
at any time six months after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date upon
thirty (30) days written notice to Holder at the address set forth below. If
prepaid in part, Payor shall first pay all accrued unpaid interest on and then
principal of the Note. After receipt of notice of partial or full prepayment,
Holder may elect by prompt written notice to the Company to convert this Note
pursuant to Section 3.
6. Payor hereby waives demand, notice presentment, protest and notice of
dishonor.
7. The Company shall not, after the date hereof and until this Note is paid
in full or converted to Common Stock, issue any indebtedness, debentures, notes
or other evidence of indebtedness that is or purports to be superior or senior

other than indebtedness issued in respect of and secured by real or personal
property of the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not increase

to Common Stock.
8. Any term of this Note may be amended or waived with the written consent
of Payor and Holders of two-thirds in interest of the outstanding principal
amount of all Notes. Holder acknowledges that because this Note may be amended
with the consent of such two-thirds in interest of the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes, Xxxxxx's rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
Xxxxxx's right to receive principal and interest as due) may be amended or
waived without Xxxxxx's consent.
9. The Holder has the right to declare the entire unpaid principal and
interest under this Note due immediately after a default by Payor in its payment
obligations hereunder and upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Payor.
10. The terms of this Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to any conflicts of laws
principles that would result in the application of the law of any other
jurisdiction.
