PROSPECTUS SUMMARY AND RISK FACTORS
THE COMPANY
Freight Management Corp. (referred to in this prospectus as "Freight
Management", "us", "we" and "our") was incorporated on September 17, 2007, in
the State of Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located Suite 200, 8275
Eastern Avenue, Las Vegas, NV, 89123. Our telephone number is (702) 938-0496. As
of the date of this prospectus, we are a development stage company with no
revenue and limited operations to date.
Subsequent to our incorporation, we have been in the process of establishing
ourselves as a company that will focus its operations on developing and
commercializing an internet based, intelligent online system for use by business
owners, freight forwarders, employees in the shipping/freight industry and
business people in the export/import industry seeking advice and assistance for
freight planning and logistics related queries. We have named our system FRINFO,
or "Freight Information". It is planned to provide and guide them to the optimum
logistics solutions, which would potentially include lower freight rates, best
trade routes and the most ideal transportation means/mode. On completion of
successful development and testing, this software will ultimately be made
available online to potential customers on our website at:
www.freightmanagementcorp.com
We plan on earning revenues through customer subscription based fees to our
online service for Middle East and USA based planning and logistics queries,
which will serve as our initial target market. At this stage in our development,
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in generating revenues from
our subscription based online system or that prospective customers seeking
shipping advise will be receptive to using our service.
Since incorporation, we have not made any significant purchases or sale of
assets, nor have we been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or
consolidations. Freight Management has never declared bankruptcy, has never been
in receivership, and has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
NUMBER OF SHARES BEING OFFERED
This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholders named in this
prospectus of up to 1,060,000 shares of our common stock. The offered shares
were acquired by the selling stockholders in private placement transactions,
which were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933. The selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a
maximum of $0.05 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, or listed for trading or quotation on any other public market, and
thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Our
common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange and we
have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market. Further, there
is no assurance that our common stock will ever trade on any market or
securities exchange. Please see the Plan of Distribution section at page 12 of
this prospectus for a detailed explanation of how the common shares may be sold.
NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING
There were 5,060,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at
February 25, 2008.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our
common stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders. We will incur
all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.
SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The summarized consolidated financial data presented below is derived from and
should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements from
September 17, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2007 including the notes
to those financial statements which are included elsewhere in this prospectus
along with the section entitled "Plan of Operation" beginning on page 26 of this
prospectus.

As at December 31, 2007
-----------------------
Current Assets $60,358
Current Liabilities 4,823
Shareholders' Equity $59,424
From September 17, 2007 to
December 31, 2007
-----------------
Revenue $ --
Net Loss $(1,576)
We have just commenced our operations and are currently without revenue. Our
company has no employees at the present time. As of December 31, 2007, our
accumulated deficit was $1,576. We anticipate that we will operate in a deficit
position, and will continue to sustain net losses for the foreseeable future.
RISK FACTORS
The securities offered hereby are highly speculative and should be purchased
only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in Freight
Management. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following
risk factors, as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this
prospectus, before purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY AND HAVE MAINTAINED LOSSES SINCE INCEPTION, WHICH
WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE INTO THE FUTURE.
We were incorporated on September 17, 2007, and have very limited operations. We
have not realized any revenues to date. Our product is under development and is
not ready for commercial sale. We have no operating history at all upon which an
evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from
inception to December 31, 2007 is $1,576. Based upon our proposed plans, we
expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because
there are substantial costs and expenses associated with the development,
marketing and sale of our product. We may fail to generate revenues in the
future. If we cannot attract a significant number of customers, we will not be
able to generate any significant revenues or income. Failure to generate
revenues will cause us to go out of business because we will not have the money
to pay our ongoing expenses.
In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:
- the actual expenditures required to be made are at or above the higher
range of our estimated expenditures;
- we incur unexpected costs in completing the development of our product
or encounter any unexpected difficulties;
- we incur delays and additional expenses related to the development of
our product or a commercial market for our product;
- we are unable to create a substantial market for our products; or
- we incur any significant unanticipated expenses.
The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our
ability to meet our business plans and achieve a profitable level of operations.
4
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY REVENUES AND FINANCING TO IMPLEMENT OUR
BUSINESS PLAN WE WILL NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY OUR ONGOING EXPENSES AND WE MAY
GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
At December 31, 2007 we had $60,208 in cash. As of the date hereof, we have
approximately $50,340 of which we anticipate needing approximately $12,240 for
the yet unpaid expenses associated with this Registration Statement (See ITEM 25
"Other Expenses if Issuance and Distribution"). Our budgeted expenditures for
the next twelve months are $78,300. Therefore, we presently have a budgeted
shortfall of approximately $40,200. We anticipate our existing cash balances
will be depleted prior to the end of the third quarter of 2008.
How long Freight Management will be able to satisfy its cash requirements
depends on how quickly our company can generate revenue and how much revenue can
be generated. Although there can be no assurance at present, we plan to be in a
position to generate revenues by the fourth quarter of 2008. We must generate at
least $40,300 in revenues commencing in the fourth quarter in order to fund all
expenditures under our 12 month budget. If we are unable to generate revenue
from our business, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our sales
activities. If we are unable to obtain alternative financing to cover shortfalls
resulting from reduced revenues or a lack of revenues, we may not be able to
continue to operate our business and if this event happens, then there is a
substantial risk our business would fail.
Our ability to successfully develop our product and to eventually produce and
sell it to generate operating revenues also depends on our ability to obtain the
necessary financing to implement our business plan. Given that we have no
operating history, no revenues and only losses to date, we may not be able to
achieve this goal, and if this occurs we will not be able to pay our development
and marketing costs and we may go out of business. We may need to issue
additional equity securities in the future to raise the necessary funds. We do
not currently have any arrangements for additional financing and we can provide
no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing if further
funding is required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number
of factors, including investor acceptance of our product and our business model.
The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant
dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. The resale of
shares by our existing shareholders pursuant to this prospectus may result in
significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and cause
negative impact on our ability to sell additional equity securities. Obtaining
loans will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments, and there can
be no assurance that we will even have sufficient funds to repay our future
indebtedness or that we will not default on our future debts if we were able to
even obtain loans.
There can be no assurance that capital will continue to be available if
necessary to meet future funding needs or, if the capital is available, that it
will be on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain financing in the
amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be forced to scale back or
cease operations, which might result in the loss of some or all of your
investment in our common stock.
IF OUR ESTIMATES RELATED TO EXPENDITURES ARE ERRONEOUS OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL
AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
Our success is dependent in part upon the accuracy of our management's estimates
of expenditures, which are currently budgeted at $78,300 for the next 12 months.
(See "Plan of Operation".) If such estimates are erroneous or inaccurate we may
not be able to carry out our business plan, which could, in a worst-case
scenario, result in the failure of our business and you losing your entire
investment.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO ENSURE OUR sUCCESS IN OUR INTENDED
MARKET
Our survival is currently dependent upon the success of our efforts to gain
market acceptance in our targeted industry. Should our services be too narrowly
focused or should the target market not be as responsive as we anticipate, we
may not have in place alternate products or services that we can offer to ensure
our survival.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE PRODUCTION OF OUR FRINFO, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO GENERATE REVENUES AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT.
We have not completed development of FRINFO (see "Description of Business-
Principal Products and Services"). The success of our proposed business will
depend on its completion and the acceptance of our product by end use customers
in our target market. Achieving such acceptance will require significant
5
marketing investment and perceived value in our product by consumers. Our online
service, once developed and tested, may not be accepted by our customers at
sufficient levels to support our operations and build our business. If it is not
accepted at sufficient levels, our business will likely fail.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO PROTECTION BY ANY TRADEMARKS, PATENTS AND/OR OTHER
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REGISTRATIONS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OUR PROPOSED BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
We have not applied for any trademark, patent or other intellectual property
registration with any governmental agency for our name or for our proposed
services. At present we are planning to enter into non-disclosure agreements
with any future contactors or employees to protect our technology. Despite any
precautions taken to protect our product and brand name, unauthorized parties
may attempt to copy or obtain and use our online service and related software.
If they are successful they could develop similar programs, which could create
more competition for us and even cause our proposed business operations to fail.
WE DEPEND TO A SIGNIFICANT EXTENT ON CERTAIN KEY PERSONNEL, THE LOSS OF ANY OF
WHOM MAY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR COMPANY.
Currently, we have only two employees and they are also our officers and
directors. We depend entirely on Mr. Abotaleb and Mr. Lewis for all of our
operations. The loss of either person will have a substantial negative effect on
our company and may cause our business to fail. Neither of our officers and
directors has been compensated for their services since our incorporation, and
it is highly unlikely that they will receive any compensation unless and until
we generate substantial revenues. There is intense competition for skilled
personnel and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and
retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. The loss of either Mr. Abotaleb
or Mr. Lewis's services could prevent us from completing the development of our
product and developing revenues. In the event of the loss of services of such
personnel, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain the services
of adequate replacement personnel.
We do not have any employment agreements or maintain key person life insurance
policies on our officers and directors. We do not anticipate entering into
employment agreements with them or acquiring key man insurance in the
foreseeable future.
WE HAVE LIMITED BUSINESS, SALES AND MARKETING EXPERIENCE IN OUR INDUSTRY.
We have not completed the development of our online services and have yet to
enter into any subscriptions with customers. While Mr. Abotaleb possess
significant experience in the shipping planning and logistics industry, he can
only devote limited time to our operations and Mr. Lewis has no experience.
Subsequent to completing development, we will need to test it commercially. In
order to do so, we must develop and implement a marketing campaign to drive
Internet traffic to our site. While we have plans for marketing and sales, there
can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. Our future success
will depend, among other factors, upon whether our services can be sold at a
profitable price and the extent to which customers acquire, adopt, and continue
to use it. There can be no assurance that our product will gain wide acceptance
in its targeted markets or that we will be able to effectively market our
product.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY AGAINST OUR COMPETITORS.
The shipping and transportation services industry is highly competitive. We
believe competition is based primarily on cost to ship, integration of various
modes of transport over various terrain, customer service and marketing support.
Our direct and indirect competition is made up of many publicly and privately
owned companies, many of which are fragmented in terms of both geographical
market coverage and service categories. Many companies within the industry are
privately-held. Therefore, we are unable to assess the size of all of our
competitors, but we would presently be classified as one of the smallest with
only a concept and no revenues at present. We believe end manufacturers,
distributors and retailers either rely on in house expertise or are aligning
themselves with shipping service companies that are financially stable, offer
expertise in a broad array of markets with all modes of transport and offer
superior customer service.
Our competition includes many logistics and forwarding freight forwarding
companies that offer freight planning, sourcing, transportation timing and mode
management and cost management. These companies vary in size from single
6
proprietors to large integrated, multinational firms. Many of these companies
also offer customs brokerage services to assist their customers with cross
border clearance export/import issues between sovereign countries. They
generally have the ability to provide seamless, cost effective and trouble free
transportation services for their customers.
Large integrated shipping lines, airlines and land based transportation
companies also offer services similar to what we are planning, either on a value
added basis similar to logistics and forwarders, or free of charge for larger
customers. These companies have significantly broader expertise and larger sales
volumes than us, have greater financial and other resources available to them,
and possess extensive marketing capabilities. Many of these companies also have
well known and established reputations with manufacturers, distributors and
export/import businesses for providing quality service on a cost effective
basis. They have many brokers representing their businesses and large sales
forces throughout the world.
We also face competition from companies offering various forms of shipping and
freight related information answers by email or online. These include: Freight
Gate (www.freightgate.com), Dynamar (www.dynamar.com), Lloyd's List
(www.lloydslist.com), and Shipping Freight (www.shippingfreight.com).
There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively compete with our
competitors or that their present and future offerings would render our product
obsolete or noncompetitive. This intense competition may have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial condition and prevent us from
achieving profitable sales levels of our product.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE ENGAGED IN OTHER ACTIVITIES AND MAY NOT DEVOTE
SUFFICIENT TIME TO OUR AFFAIRS, WHICH MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO CONDUCT
OPERATIONS AND GENERATE REVENUES.
The persons serving as our officers and directors have existing responsibilities
and have additional responsibilities to provide management and services to other
entities. Mr. Abotaleb, our President and director, is also the Commercial
Manager for Medlevant Shipping Co. in Alexandria, Egypt. We expect Mr. Abotaleb
to spend approximately 25-30 hours a week on the business of our company. Mr.
Lewis, our Secretary Treasurer and a director is currently retired, but we
expect Mr. Lewis to spend approximately 25 hours or more a week on the business
of our company. As a result, demands for the time and attention from our
directors and officers from our company and other entities may conflict from
time to time. Because we rely primarily on our directors and officers to
maintain our business contacts and to promote our product, their limited
devotion of time and attention to our business may hurt the operation of our
business.
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT STATES THAT THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT THAT
WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our independent auditors, Moore and Associates, Chartered, state in their audit
report, dated January 18, 2008 and included with this prospectus, that since we
are a development stage company, have no established source of revenue and are
dependent on our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to
sustain operations, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to
continue as a going concern.
This qualification clearly highlights that we will, in all likelihood, continue
to incur expenses without significant revenues into the foreseeable future until
our product gains significant popularity. Our only source of funds to date has
been the sale of our common stock. Because we cannot assure anyone at this stage
that we will be able to generate enough interest in our product or that we will
be able to generate any significant revenues or income, the identification of
new sources equity financing is significantly more difficult, and if we are
successful in closing on any new financing, existing investors will experience
substantially more dilution. The ability to obtain debt financing is also
severely impacted, and likely not even feasible, given that we do not have
revenues or profits to pay interest or repay principal.
As a result, if we are unable to obtain additional financing at this stage in
our operations, our business will fail and you may lose some or all of your
investment in our common stock.
INVESTORS WILL HAVE LITTLE VOICE REGARDING THE MANAGEMENT OF FREIGHT MANAGEMENT
DUE TO THE LARGE OWNERSHIP POSITION HELD BY OUR EXISTING MANAGEMENT AND THUS IT
WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR NEW INVESTORS TO MAKE CHANGES IN OUR OPERATIONS OR
7
MANAGEMENT, AND THEREFORE, SHAREHOLDERS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO DECISIONS MADE BY
MANAGEMENT AND THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS, INCLUDING THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.
Officers and directors directly own 4,000,000 shares of the total of 5,060,000
issued and outstanding shares of Freight Management's common stock and are in a
position to continue to control Freight Management. Of these 4,000,000 shares,
Mr. Abotaleb, our President, owns 2,000,000 shares and Mr. Lewis, our Secretary
Treasurer and CFO owns 2,000,000 shares. Collectively they own 79.05% of our
total outstanding common shares. Such control may be risky to the investor
because our company's operations are dependent on a very few people who could
lack ability, or interest in pursuing our operations. In such event, our
business may fail and you may lose your entire investment. Moreover, investors
will not be able to effect a change in the company's board of directors,
business or management.
FUTURE REGULATION OF THE INTERNET COULD RESTRICT OUR BUSINESS, PREVENT US FROM
OFFERING SERVICE OR INCREASE OUR COST OF DOING BUSINESS.
At present there are few laws, regulations or rulings that specifically address
access to or commerce on the Internet. We are unable to predict the impact, if
any, that future legislation, legal decisions or regulations concerning the
Internet may have on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations. Regulation may be targeted towards, among other things, assessing
access or settlement charges, imposing taxes related to internet communications,
restricting content, imposing tariffs or regulations based on encryption
concerns or the characteristics and quality of products and services, any of
which could restrict our business or increase our cost of doing business. The
increasing growth and popularity of the Internet and related services heighten
the risk that governments or other legislative bodies will seek to regulate the
service, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK
DIFFICULTY FOR FREIGHT MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR STOCK DUE TO A
LACK OF PUBLIC TRADING MARKET
There is presently no public trading market for our common stock, we have not
applied for a trading symbol or quotation, and it is unlikely that an active
public trading market can be established or sustained in the foreseeable future.
We intend to seek out a market maker to apply to have our common stock quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board upon effectiveness of this Form S-1. However, there can
be no assurance that Freight Management's shares will be quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board. Until there is an established trading market, holders of our
common stock may find it difficult to sell their stock or to obtain accurate
quotations for the price of the common stock. If a market for our common stock
does develop, our stock price may be volatile.
BROKER-DEALERS MAY BE DISCOURAGED FROM EFFECTING TRANSACTIONS IN OUR SHARES
BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED PENNY STOCKS AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK
RULES.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on FINRA broker-dealers who
make a market in "penny stocks". A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our shares
currently are not traded on Nasdaq nor on any other exchange nor are they quoted
on the OTC/Bulletin Board or "OTCBB". Following the date that the registration
statement, in which this prospectus is included, becomes effective we hope to
find a broker-dealer to act as a market maker for our stock and file on our
behalf with FINRA an application on Form 15c(2)(11) for approval for our shares
to be quoted on the OTCBB. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not
attempted to find a market maker to file such application for us. If we are
successful in finding such a market maker and successful in applying for
quotation on the OTCBB, it is very likely that our stock will be considered a
"penny stock". In that case, purchases and sales of our shares will be generally
facilitated by FINRA broker-dealers who act as market makers for our shares. The
additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon
broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our
shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede
the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone
other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an
individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special
8
suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's
written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or
the transaction is otherwise exempt.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared
by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer
or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to
disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered
representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a
broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price
information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and
information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
WE INTEND TO BECOME SUBJECT TO THE PERIODIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, WHICH WILL REQUIRE US TO INCUR AUDIT FEES AND
LEGAL FEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION OF SUCH REPORTS. THESE ADDITIONAL
COSTS WILL NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO EARN A PROFIT.
Following the effective date of the registration statement in which this
prospectus is included, we will be required to file periodic reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations thereunder. In order to
comply with such requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to
review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial
statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review
and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these
professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time
because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in
and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will
have a major affect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and
attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to
our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our

INVESTORS THAT NEED TO RELY ON DIVIDEND INCOME OR LIQUIDITY SHOULD NOT PURCHASE
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our
inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the
foreseeable future. Investors that need to rely on dividend income should not
invest in our common stock, as any income would only come from any rise in the
market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable.
Investors that require liquidity should also not invest in our common stock.
There is no established trading market and should one develop, it will likely be
volatile and subject to minimal trading volumes.
BECAUSE WE CAN ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, PURCHASERS OF OUR COMMON
STOCK MAY INCUR IMMEDIATE DILUTION AND MAY EXPERIENCE FURTHER DILUTION.
We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock. At present,
there are 5,060,000 common shares issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors
has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock without
consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may
experience more dilution in their ownership of Freight Management in the future.
SINCE OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OWN A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR ISSUED AND
OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, ANY FUTURE SALES OF THEIR SHARES MAY RESULT IN A
DECREASE IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND THE VALUE OF OUR STOCKHOLDER'S
INVESTMENT
Our officers and directors, currently own 4,000,000 shares of the total of
5,060,000 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Collectively they
own 79.05% of our total outstanding common shares. These shares are currently
restricted from trading and under amendments to Rule 144 (which became effective
on February 15, 2008 but have retroactive application to the date of issuance),
these shares will only be available for resale to the public after March 17,
2008 if:
* We are no longer a shell company as defined under section 12b-2 of the
Exchange Act. A "shell company" is defined as a company with no or
nominal operations, and with no or nominal assets or assets consisting
solely of cash and cash equivalents.
* We have filed all Exchange Act reports required for the past 12
months; and
9
* If applicable, at least one year has elapsed from the time that we
file current Form 10 information on Form 8-K changing our status from
a shell company to an entity that is not a shell company.
At present we are considered to be a shell company under the Exchange Act. If we
meet the requirements at any date subsequent to March 17, 2008 in the future,
our officers and directors would be entitled to sell within any three month
period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1% of the number
of shares of our common stock then outstanding which, in this case, will
currently equate to approximately 50,600 shares; or the average weekly trading
volume of Freight Management common stock during the four calendar weeks,
preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale for sales
exceeding 5,000 shares or an aggregate sale price in excess of $50,000. If fewer
shares at lesser value are sold, no Form 144 is required.
The possibility of future sales of significant amounts of shares held by them
could decrease the market price of our common stock if the marketplace does not
orderly adjust to the increase in shares in the market. In such case, the value
of your investment in us will decrease.
OTHER RISKS
ALL OF OUR ASSETS AND OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE LOCATED IN CANADA AND
EGYPT. THIS MAY CAUSE ANY ATTEMPTS TO ENFORCE LIABILITIES UNDER THE U.S.
SECURITIES AND BANKRUPTCY LAWS TO BE VERY DIFFICULT.
Currently, all of our assets and each of our officers and directors are located
in Canada and Egypt and this is likely to remain so for at least the next 12
months. Therefore, any investor that attempts to enforce against the company or
against any of our officers and directors liabilities that accrue under U.S.
securities laws or bankruptcy laws will face the difficulty of complying with
local laws in these countries, with regards to enforcement of foreign judgments.
This could make it impracticable or uneconomic to enforce such liabilities.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future
events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects",
"plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or
"continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These
statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled
"Risk Factors" on pages 4-10 that may cause our or our industry's actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are
based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the
direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes
materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other
future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law,
including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update
any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual
results. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to the offering made in
this prospectus.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION'S PUBLIC REFERENCE
Any member of the public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") at the SEC's Public Reference
Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation
of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet website (http://www.sec.gov) that
contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information
regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
THE OFFERING
This prospectus covers the resale by certain selling stockholders of 1,060,000
shares of common stock, which were issued pursuant to a private placement
offering made by Freight Management pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under
the Securities Act.
10
USE OF PROCEEDS
The shares of common stock offered hereby are being registered for the account
of the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. All proceeds from the
sale of the common stock will go to the respective selling stockholders. We will
not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling
stockholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling stockholders may sell their shares of our common stock at a price of
$0.05 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated
prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an OTCBB
listing. The offering price of $0.05 per share is based on the last sales price
of our common stock under our private placement, which we closed on December 31,
2007, and does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value,
such as book value or earnings per share. Additionally, because we have no
significant operating history and have not generated any material revenues to
date, the price of our common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the
price of our common stock indicative of the current market value of the assets
owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and
potential business expansion. Our common stock is presently not traded on any
market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation
on any public market.
DILUTION
Since all of the shares being registered are already issued and outstanding, no
dilution will result from this offering.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
All of the shares of common stock issued are being offered by the selling
stockholders listed in the table below. None of the selling stockholders are
broker-dealers or affiliated with broker-dealers. We issued the shares of common
stock in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S.
The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of
the common stock issued. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only
some portion of the 1,060,000 shares of common stock to be registered, no
estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common
stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the
offering.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders as of February
25, 2008 and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
The number of shares in the table represents an estimate of the number of shares
of common stock to be offered by the selling stockholders.

1) Assumes all of the shares of common stock offered are sold. Based on
5,060,000 common shares issued and outstanding on February 25, 2008.
(2) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and
generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities.
Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible
preferred stock currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or
convertible within sixty (60) days, are counted as outstanding for
computing the percentage of the person holding such options or warrants but
are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other
person. There are currently no shares subject to options, warrants or
preferred stock.
There are no family relationships between any of the above noted stockholders
and either of our Officers and Directors.
We may require the selling security holder to suspend the sales of the
securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that
makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement
untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in
these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the
shares of our common stock in one or more of the following methods described
below. Our common stock is not currently listed on any national exchange or
12
electronic quotation system. There is currently no market for our securities and
a market may never develop. Because there is currently no public market for our
common stock, the selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common
stock at a price of $0.05 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or
privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain an OTCBB listing. The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling
stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
(a) block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
(b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker
or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
(c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange;
(d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers;
(e) privately negotiated transactions;
(f) a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale; and
(g) any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law, including
compliance with SEC's Rule 144.
In the event of the transfer by any selling stockholder of his or her shares to
any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a
post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee
in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his or her shares.
In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any of the
broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the
purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those
customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with
the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares of common
stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the
broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the
price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling
stockholders if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the
selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as
principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in
transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other
broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales
by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time
of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated
transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or
receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with
the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed
to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with
these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the
Securities Act.
From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge their shares of common
stock pursuant to the margin provisions of their customer agreements with their
brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, the broker may offer and sell
the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares
of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements, under the Securities Act, by delivering a prospectus to
each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other
necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required
in the event any selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement with
brokers.
To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to
this registration statement will be filed, disclosing, the name of any
broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at
which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or
concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such
broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set
out in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction. In addition,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement will be filed to
include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed herein.
13
We and the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without
limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholders are distribution
participants and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution
participant, under Regulation M.
The anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the
selling stockholders, and there are restrictions on market-making activities by
persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, a selling
stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any
person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while they are
distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, the selling
stockholder is not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the
distribution it taking place. We will advise the selling stockholders that if a
particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms materially different
from the information set forth in this Plan of Distribution, then a
post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be
filed with the SEC. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the
common stock.
All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal,
accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any
commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection
with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling
stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of
$0.001. We are not authorized to issue shares of preferred stock. As at February
25, 2008 we had 5,060,000 common shares outstanding. There are no warrants,
options or convertible securities outstanding. Upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the corporation, the holders of common stock are entitled to share
ratably in all net assets available for distribution to stockholders after
payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has
no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no conversion,
redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Each
outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights.
Each stockholder is entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our
board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the
event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after
payment of liabilities. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a
dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of
16
directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the
operating and financial condition of our company, its capital requirements,
general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated
that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
There are no provisions in our articles of incorporation or our bylaws that

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITY LIABILITIES
The Nevada General Corporation Law requires Freight Management to indemnify
officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in
connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director
because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the
director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
the action or proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a
corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an
agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or
proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in
which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company and such indemnification is authorized by the
stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of
directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or
officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's
acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation
of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing
limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an
officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even
if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct,
fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BUSINESS OF ISSUER
Freight Management was incorporated on September 17, 2007 in the State of
Nevada. We are a development stage company that only recently commenced with its
business operations and we currently have no revenue and no significant assets.
We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have
never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming
incorporated, we have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor
have we been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. We are not
a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation
C of the Securities Act of 1933, since we have a specific business plan or
purpose.
Neither Freight Management, nor its officers, directors, promoters or
affiliates, has had preliminary contact or discussions with, nor do we have any
present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any
representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the
possibility of an acquisition or merger.
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our company's business is focused on the development and commercialization of an
internet based, intelligent online system for business owners, freight
forwarders, junior employees in the shipping/freight industry and business
people in the export/import industry who require assistance with their freight
and shipping related queries. We have named our system FRINFO, or Freight
Information. Our planned system will utilize a comprehensive database to provide
our prospective customers with customized, specific professional advice and
solutions to their related shipping queries and issues. FRINFO will successfully
enable the generation of online real time solutions and advice to questions
submitted by the customers, and guide them to the most optimum logistics
solutions, which would potentially include lower freight rates, best trade
routes and the most ideal transportation means/mode. When completed, it will
also include tabular sections for frequently asked questions (FAQ's) and their
related answers, as well as industry related terms, abbreviations, and widely
used terminology. On completion of successful development and testing, this
software will ultimately be made available online to potential customers on our
website at: www.freightmanagementcorp.com
Any business owner who trades internationally, or between countries, will
readily recognize the challenges they face when negotiating with shipping lines
to transport their cargos between two different countries, the lack of
information from various shipping lines and alternatives, and complicated
terminology. Additionally, shippers/manufacturers new to the business, those
with new products, or those selling into new markets do not completely
understand the shipping/freight process and face difficulties finding the best
and most trusted shipping mode to move their goods. The learning process creates
frustration and consumes valuable time as they try to obtain a clear picture of
all shipping logistics. Junior shipping/freight industry employees are typically
overwhelmed with the vast terminology during their first few months on the job,
and lack a reliable unified source that can provide trusted answers to address
their queries. Employees also face the problem of understanding the complicated
documentation and physical processes involved in the global shipping industry
(eg: shipping declarations, custom procedures and clearance, stevedoring,
loading, and transportation).
We believe a venue like the Internet to address these challenges is long
overdue. Users will potentially be able to source reliable information from
their own offices and develop timely freight plans that suit their needs at a
reasonable cost. FRINFO is being developed to use Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The customer will be prompted to enter his/her question using an online form.
FRINFO will then recognize and detect certain keywords in the customers input
and searches its smart knowledge center for relevant answers related to the
keywords generated. After creating a list of results, FRINFO will combine
keywords using a state of the art matrix engineering system to eliminate
non-related results. It will then provide a solution that is most related to the
customer's original query.
An example of the value of our service could potentially provide is a car
manufacturer that procures parts and semi-finished components used in the
process to assemble a car. They need to receive these inputs in a timely manner
and at the lowest possible cost in order to maintain profitable operations. The
person or entity coordinating these activities (known as a "Mediator") could be
a freight forwarder, or professional logistics provider, who manages the supply
18
chain in order to deliver these parts on time. As part of their activities, the
Mediator will thoroughly analyze all transportation modes, including sea, land
or air freight alternatives in conjunction with the time and cost constraints.
We believe we can potentially provide a valuable tool to assist the Mediator to
select the best trade route at the lowest cost, and provide other related advice
needed to ensure smooth operation of the supply/transportation process. We could
also potentially replace the Mediator and guide the manufacturer directly by
receiving its query and providing a detailed response explaining the best
transport mode and the lowest costs involved.
Another example is a distributor who is importing cotton t-shirts from Egypt to
the USA, and wants to find out about the best shipping line to transport his
goods. They would enter a question such as: "What is the best method to
transport a shipment of cotton t-shirts from Egypt to USA?". FRINFO would
analyze the customer input and detect the major keywords in his query: "Egypt",
"USA", "Cotton", "T-shirts", Shipment", and "Transport". FRINFO would access its
smart knowledge center and search for all related match containing the previous
keywords. After generating a list of all matches, FRINFO would then eliminate
the un-related results by combining keywords and selecting the most relevant
results, such as "From" + "Egypt", "To" + "USA", "Cotton" + "t-shirt", after
running all possibilities using its matrix engineering system. FRINFO would
display to the customer the most related results, for example:
- AIR: EgyptAir from Cairo, Egypt to New York, USA in 12 hours
- SEA: MARESEK from Alexandria, Egypt to Newark, USA in 20 days
- SEA: ZIM from Port Said, Egypt to Newark, USA in 18 days
FRINFO would also recommend to the customer further readings, which would match
the nature of the request, for example:
- Regulations of importing goods into the USA
- Quota system for importing cotton products into the USA
- Customs/Brokerage hints & potential contacts
When developed, FRINFO will consist of the following major components:
* THE SMART KNOWLEDGE CENTER - this databank will act as the core of
FRINFO and will contain all of our shipping related data, articles,
link and information related to the shipping/freight sector. This
databank will be updated on regular basis.
* THE KEYWORD RECOGNITION SOFTWARE - this module will be based on AI
architecture. FRINO will recognize the MAJOR keywords in the user
inputs and search the smart knowledge center for the recognized
keywords. The software will split the user input into keywords, and
will recognize the major keywords and eliminate un-related text from
the user input.
* THE MATRIX ENGINEERING SYSTEM - this will be the engineering logic
that FRINO utilizes to combine keywords and to eliminate any
un-desired results from the search results, listing only the most
accurate and related answers to the users.
We currently have no revenues or customers for our services. We anticipate that
final commercial version of FRINFO will not be ready for commercial use for at
least 12 months from the date hereof. We may offer service in BETA TESTING mode
once the website is completed in approximately 9 months. We plan on earning
revenues through customer subscriptions to our service and we will target
freight forwarders, exporters and importers operating in the USA and the Middle
East, which will serve as our initial target market. Customers will subscribe to
our online service by paying a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual fees.
During their subscription periods, customers can post unlimited number of
questions and achieve specific responses. We have not yet fixed our pricing
structure and will need to determine our charges initially as the software
develops, and revise them regularly to attract a wider base of customers in our
targeted markets. Our future marketing strategy will include expansion plans to
provide our services to European and Asian markets, but this will require
further development of our intelligent system in some local languages.
At this stage in our development, there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in generating revenues from our subscription based online system or
that prospective customers seeking shipping advise will be receptive to using
our service.
19
THE MARKET
The transportation of goods from the manufacturer or supplier to the consumer
plays a key role in all local, national and international import or export
activities. Whether a company is looking to establish production in a new
location, or sell its products in a new country or commercial market, it
requires reliable, timely and competitive transportation for procurement of raw
materials and distribution of finished goods. Rapid adoption of the Internet for
commerce and as a venue to describe or sell products has also served to increase
the number of smaller trading companies selling nationally and internationally.
Smaller companies are even more dependent on the services of outside Mediators,
as they generally do not possess the resources to employ in house expertise.
Their volumes are also usually insufficient to keep in house persons employed
full time.
Throughout the last century the shipping industry has seen a significant
increase in total trade volume. Increasing industrialization and the
liberalization of national economies have fuelled free trade and a growing
demand for consumer products. In the last decade, many developing nations such
as China have grown to become among the largest exporting nations on the globe.
These countries are also currently experiencing double digit GDP growth and are
expected to outperform developed countries into the foreseeable future. Advances
in technology have also made shipping an increasingly efficient and swift method
of transportation.
According to the World Trade Organization ("WTO") global imports and exports
grew by 14% to reach approximately $23 trillion in 2006. Annual growth rates
have averaged 11% since 2000. The United States remains the largest trading
nation in the world, accounting for about 12 percent of total world merchandise
trade in 2006. It also remains the world largest economy, accounting for 28
percent of world gross domestic product (GDP) in 2006. Global Insight predicts
that global trade will continue to grow by approximately 7% on an annual basis
to 2011 and trade between the middle/far east and the USA will grow by 15%
annually for the same period. However, the shipping of products and the vast
array of shipping companies have intense competition. There are around 50,000
merchant ships trading internationally, transporting every kind of cargo. The
world fleet is registered in over 150 nations, and manned by over a million
seafarers of virtually every nationality. (SOURCE: WORLD SHIPPING COUNCIL 2007)
Liner shipping, which refers to ocean going transport services operated on fixed
schedules and itineraries, is the heart of a global transportation system that
connects U.S. companies and consumers with the world. The vast majority of this
cargo is containerized for goods other than bulk commodities such as crude oil.
Standard sized metal containers are sealed at origin and remain intact as they
are transported by ship, truck or rail car until they are unloaded at the final
destination. The standard volume measure for containerized cargo is a TEU, which
stands for a twenty foot length equivalent unit. Most containers however consist
of 2TEU's, which is the length of a standard truck trailer. Ports of developing
countries and territories handled 137.0 million TEUs, or 40.7% of the total. In
2005, the top 20 world container ports handled 186.1 million TEUs.
According to World Shipping (SOURCE:
http://www.worldshipping.org./pdf/liner_shipping_in_the_us_2007_update.pdf) the
liner shipping industry has invested more than $200 billion to create an
efficient network that serves as the engine driving the global economy. Carriers
have more than doubled vessel capacity in the last 10 years and will double it
again over the next decade to handle trade growth. In addition, liner shipping
companies have invested tens of billions of dollars in the U.S. alone, in port
terminals, trucking companies, warehouses and technology. Liner shipping
generates more than one million American jobs and $38 billion in annual wages.
Liner vessels, mostly containerships, make more than 22,000 U.S. port calls each
year, which equates to more than 60 vessel calls per day. More than 50,000
container loads of imports and exports are handled at U.S. ports each day,
providing direct connections to the American road and rail network. This also
represents an increase of over 60% since 1999.
Shipment of goods within countries is generally fulfilled by land based rail and
trucking companies. Air freight also plays a smaller role and is generally
limited to smaller more valuable shipments that require quick delivery.
According to the last survey conducted by the US Department of Transportation,
domestic shipments by rail, truck and air were 1,684,461; 1,314,616 and 621,170
million ton miles annually (a significant percentage of air shipments is mail).
There are thousands of trucking companies and dozens of rail and airlines
serving the USA alone. The same generally holds true for most of the larger
countries throughout the world.
As national and international trade continues to grow and competition increases,
the complexity of logistics and global transport also continues to grow. There
is a real need for an easy way to find quick solutions to simplify the transport
process. We believe the shipping industry is ready to adopt technology such as
20
what we are planning for accessible end-user accessible real time logistical
information, and that this segment of the industry is relatively untouched.
COMPETITION AND COMPETITIVE STRATEGY
The shipping and transportation services industry is highly competitive. We
believe competition is based primarily on cost to ship, integration of various
modes of transport over various terrain, customer service and marketing support.
Our direct and indirect competition is made up of many publicly and privately
owned companies, many of which are fragmented in terms of both geographical
market coverage and service categories. Many companies within the industry are
privately-held. Therefore, we are unable to assess the size of all of our
competitors, but we would presently be classified as one of the smallest with
only a concept and no revenues at present. We believe end manufacturers,
distributors and retailers either rely on in house expertise or are aligning
themselves with shipping service companies that are financially stable, offer
expertise in a broad array of markets with all modes of transport and offer
superior customer service.
Our competition includes many logistics and forwarding freight forwarding
companies that offer freight planning, sourcing, transportation timing and mode
management and cost management. These companies vary in size from single
proprietors to large integrated, multinational firms. Many of these companies
also offer customs brokerage services to assist their customers with cross
border clearance export/import issues between sovereign countries. These
companies typically charge a fixed fee or percentage of the value of the
shipment for their services. They generally have the ability to provide
seamless, cost effective and trouble free transportation services for their
customers.
Large integrated shipping lines, airlines and land based transportation
companies also offer these services, either on a value added basis similar to
logistics and forwarders, or free of charge for larger customers. These
companies have significantly broader expertise and larger sales volumes than us,
have greater financial and other resources available to them, and possess
extensive marketing capabilities. Many of these companies also have well known
and established reputations with manufacturers, distributors and export/import
businesses for providing quality service on a cost effective basis. They have
many brokers representing their businesses and large sales forces throughout the
world.
We also face competition from companies based in the USA who offer various forms
of shipping and freight related information answers by email or online. While
these competitors have yet provided a service to provide customized freight and
shipping advice in real time fashion, they could do so at any time in the
future. At present, their services are limited to general shipping news and
tracking reports. These include:
Freight Gate (www.freightgate.com) - This company offers software applications
for global shippers, forwarders and carriers to track their products. They do
not currently offer planning or logistics management. Freight Gate does not
charge membership fees and derives its revenues from carrier transaction fees.
No special software is required or needs to be downloaded for this solution.
Freight Gate hosts and manages their applications from their website.
Dynamar (www.dynamar.com) - Offers credit and marketing reports in the maritime
sector. They also provide marine investigation and vessel tracking services.
Their service is utilized by companies who want to assess the credit risk of
existing business partners or assess the feasibility of new business
relationships within all sectors of the transport industry. The price for their
reports start at $400. They do not offer planning and logistics support and we
believe their price point is extremely high compared what we are planning.
Lloyd's List (www.lloydslist.com) - Lloyd's List generates a daily source of
news comments and coverage of shipping, marine insurance, offshore energy,
logistics, global trade and law. Their service is utilized by decision makers
looking to keep themselves up to date with the shipping industry. Their prices
range from $100 to $200 hundred dollars per month for different news
subscription packages.
Shipping Freight (www.shippingfreight.com) - An shipping information portal,
dedicated to providing knowledge to persons on all types of industry related
queries. This company does not currently charge a fee for its service. It offers
a limited `question & answer' section related to shipping logistics, and should
a user have additional queries, he/she must enter their information and
questions in a submission page. When we tested the turn-around time for a query,
it took 6 days. We believe this company is our most direct competition to what
we are planning to offer at present.

We believe our proposed product currently represents a superior product to
anything currently offered and that our intelligent, real-time solution will
revolutionize the way in which shipping advice, content, logistics can be
accessed in a simple and quick manner. We believe we can overcome our
disadvantages to our competition by offering a quality product at a fair price,
executing a timely launch, being one of the first to market and maintaining our
customer service edge. However, any competitive advantage we may posses will
rapidly be adversely effected through the emergence of similar products becoming
available to the industry while we are developing or commercializing our
service. In order to protect any ongoing advantage, we also maintain our
presence by aligning our service with maritime and shipping associations,
federations, and forums. By partnering with these groups, we will be in a
position to effectively be recognized as a value-added service to the freight
industry and its members.
22
We are presently not aware of any non-English service offered in the industry.
We are planning to localize our product to fit into as many markets as possible.
We will initially develop our product for the English-speaking market and will
then move toward localizing our solution for other Latin-based languages such as
Spanish and then Asian languages such as Chinese. Although Asian trade volume is
larger than most the other regions, we will localize our service to Asian
languages at later stages due to the complexity of Asian language support.
Upon completion of our FRINFO service, we will adhere to the following
additional strategies to compete in our industry:
* We will promote our company and product service by partnering with
maritime groups, and establishing and executing an effective marketing
campaign
* We will create unique customer loyalty by fulfilling potential
customers' needs on a timely basis and by maintaining an updated
knowledge base with the most up to date data.
* Upon continued excellence of our product roll out, we plan to expand
our management team to retain skilled employees with experience
relevant to our business focus.
* We will expand our service in different markets, sectors and languages
- and become the most recognized
All of this intense competition may have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition and prevent us from achieving
profitable sales levels for our product.
SALES STRATEGY
When our service is ready for commercial sale, our sales strategy will be
focused on attracting visitors to our site, so they can become familiar with our
website and get acquainted with our services. Once we complete the development
and testing of the website, our officers, directors and a contracted sales
person plan to contact directly as many companies as we can based on director's
experience and knowledge in the shipping industry through phone calls followed
up by marketing collateral. This collateral will include:
- Information about our company and the services the website provides
- Detailed information on the features, functionality, use of the
Freight Management databank and the potential benefits of our online,
real time q&a.
We also plan to utilize a variety of complementary marketing tools. These will
include:
INTERNET MARKETING- Our website will describe who we are and what we do. We plan
to have our brochures posted online, which will describe our service and
outlining the benefits of the usage of Freight Management databank.
TRADITIONAL MARKETING COLLATERAL- We intend to develop professional marketing
brochures that we can potentially distribute to the decision makers in targeted
companies as well as to trade journals serving this market space. Our collateral
will be part of a cohesive strategy that ties into our website.
DIRECT MAILS TO TARGETED CUSTOMERS - We intend to send an introduction email to
all targeted customers giving a clear introduction about the company's service
and the benefits of usage the website.
We also plan to offer free trials of the site services on an ongoing basis to
help market the service. We will base the trail period either on a free number
of days basis or through the provision of planning and logistics answers to user
queries. We are initially planning to charge for our services on a monthly
subscription basis at a price of $90-100. At this stage in our development, this
is a preliminary price and is subject to change as we roll out our service. We
are basing this initial price on our market research and the current pricing of
our competitors. Our closest indirect competitor currently charges $100-$200 for
their reports. We believe we can undercut their price structure, provide
significant value-add with a real-time interface, and then capture a healthy
market share of industry users. Based on the current lack of available
intelligent interactive freight logistics software systems, we believe this is
an acceptable and competitive price to launch our service with. We also plan to
effectively compete in this space by positioning ourselves as a distinctive,
high quality and `first-to-launch' solution for end users.
23
DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
Our website and proposed services are currently under development and are not
ready for commercial sale. We anticipate that it will be completed and ready for
beta trials in approximately 9 months and if successful, available for
commercial use in 12 months. Our website url is www.freightmanagementcorp.com.
We plan on providing all of our services through our website. When completed,
FRINFO will enable customers to post their queries, receive specific answers and
advice, and articles related to the nature of their query in real time and from
the convenience of their own desk. When a prospective customer is ready to
subscribe to our service, they will be required to create an account and choose
a username and password to secure their online account. On completion, a final
step will display the account information and payment information to the
customer for final confirmation and payment processing. The customer will also
receive an independent email summarizing the account and payment information.
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS AND SUPPLIES
There are no constraints on the sources or availability of products and supplies
related to our business. Our President has extensive experience with freight
logistics management, database development and related software programs. We
plan to manage the development of our website and our planned commercial
services. We are planning to hire third party contractors to complete the
development of FRINFO. We have already identified several suitable firms, which
will also supply all of their own computer hardware and development software. As
a result of this process, we have finalized our budget to complete the project,
but we have not yet entered into any contracts for these services. All of these
potential contactors are located in Egypt and India and are highly experienced
with;
- Internet and website software design and applications
- The use of ASP, ASP.net and Visual Basic Scripting programming
language
- The use of MSSQL database programming language
We evaluated these potential candidates on the basis of track record systems
completed, overall skill-set and projects related to Artificial Intelligence
experience, software development track records, references and pricing. Hardware
applications we are intending to use include standard Dell or IBM PC based
systems, and we do not anticipate any issues with the supply or ability of this
equipment.
As we will continue to improve on the system and add functionality after initial
launch, we expect that we will retain the services of the software contractor
until a time when we hire our own full time software development employee(s). We
do not plan to do so until the second year of our operations.
DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS
We do not have any customers at present. Our planned services have not yet been
developed. We plan on selling our products and services directly to end use
consumers over the internet. Our intended offering will be priced for mass
market use focused on the shipping and transportation industry. Even though it
is focused on a specific industry, we do not anticipate dependence on one or a
few major customers into the foreseeable future, because of the significant
number of participants involved in the industry.
PATENT, TRADEMARK, LICENSE & FRANCHISE RESTRICTIONS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
& CONCESSIONS
We have not obtained any copyrights, patents or trademarks in respect of any of
our intellectual property. We may obtain protection in the future, when we are
in a financial position to do so, but we do not foresee being in a position to
do so for least the next 12 months. However, all software that we develop will
be proprietary to the company. When complete, our core FRINFO programs will
reside in our servers, and we will protect the servers with an industry-standard
firewall. When we complete the development and testing of FRINFO, we plan on
including a statement of copyright and a standard license agreement for the use
of FRINFO online by our customers. We will also require all consultants and
future employees that we hire to work on our product to enter into
non-disclosure and non-competition agreements to protect our property.
We have not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have
given, or could give rise to obligations or concessions.
24
EXISTING OR PROBABLE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
There are no existing government regulations, nor are we aware of any
regulations being contemplated, that would adversely affect our ability to
operate.
USE OF THE INTERNET FOR SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS
Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a
number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet
generally, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, and characteristics
and quality of products and services. Similarly, the growth and development of
the market for Internet commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer
protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies conducting
business over the Internet. The adoption of any such laws or regulations may
decrease the growth of commerce over the Internet, increase our cost of doing
business or otherwise have a harmful effect on our business.
To date, governmental regulations have not materially restricted the use or
expansion of the Internet. However, the legal and regulatory environment that
pertains to the Internet is uncertain and may change. New laws may cover issues
that include:
* sales and other taxes;
* user privacy;
* pricing controls;
* characteristics and quality of products and services;
* consumer protection;
* libel and defamation;
* copyright, trademark and patent infringement; and
* other claims based on the nature and content of Internet materials.
These new laws may impact our ability to market our product and services in
accordance with our business plan.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND COSTS
All FRINFO development activities to date were performed by our Officers and
Directors, free of charge. They estimate that they spent approximately 600 hours
on development activities related to the website smart knowledge center, which
contains the core data relevant to the shipping and freight industry. Mr.
Abotaleb has been collecting and storing relevant data for input in the
knowledge center. This development time also included creating links to relevant
articles on other websites and online information providers.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we
aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that address issues
specific to our business.
FACILITIES
We rent executive office facilities located at Suite 200, 8275 Eastern Avenue
Las Vegas, NV, 89123. This is a shared office facility, which offers office
space and secretarial and administrative services for $150 monthly. We may
cancel upon 30 days written notice. This location will serve as our primary
executive offices for the foreseeable future. Mr. Abotaleb and Mr. Lewis also
work from their respective residences in Canada and Egypt at no charge to our
company. We have also contracted to maintain and host web server space for our
website with a third party hosting business based in India at a nominal cost.
EMPLOYEES
Freight Management has no employees at the present time. Our officers and
directors, are responsible for all planning, developing and operational duties,
and will continue to do so throughout the early stages of our growth. We have no
intention of hiring employees until the business has been successfully launched
and we have sufficient, reliable revenue flowing into Freight Management from
25
our operations. Our officers and directors are planning to do whatever work is
required until our business to the point of having positive cash flow. Human
resource planning will be part of an ongoing process that will include regular
evaluation of operations and revenue realization. We do not expect to hire any
employees within the first year of operation.
Over the next 12 months, Mr. Ibrahim Abotaleb will be primarily responsible for:
- General management of our company's operations
- All company marketing and the building of relationships with potential
clients
- Managing sales activities
- Overseeing the further development and enhancement of the FRINFO
- Oversee the development of the marketing strategy and associated
collateral.

Mr. Gerald Lewis will be responsible for:
- Updating our website
- Assisting Mr. Abotaleb with the further development and testing of
FRINFO
- Management and direction of all future financing activities
- Daily administration and bookkeeping activities
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
We will voluntarily make available to securities holders an annual report,
including audited financials, on Form 10-K. We are not currently a fully
reporting company, but upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we
will be required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; such as quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports
on Form 8-K.
The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's
Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The
public may obtain information about the operation of the Public Reference Room
by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that
contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information
regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We are a development stage company with very limited operations to date, no
revenue, very limited financial backing and few assets. Our plan of operation
over the next 12 months is to complete development, testing and market our
intelligent online system which we have named FRINFO, and make it available to
business owners, freight forwarders, and any other users requiring logistical
and planning tools and information for the shipping/freight industry
26
Our overall goal is to become a recognized market leader in providing online,
customized planning and logistical solutions in the freight/shipping business.
In order to achieve this goal, we have established the following objectives over
the next 12 months:
* Commence with the development of our website and brand development.
The first phase of website development will include online information
on our company background, our business, management team overview, and
email submission for any investor or general queries.
* The second phase includes the development and implementation of our
FRINFO intelligent online database. This will include our planned
smart knowledge center, which will be designed to provide the most
suitable solution and advice in response to a customer query.
* Develop and execute a sustainable and persuasive marketing plan
focused on shipping & trade affiliates/associations and other
potential users of our service.
* Achieve our first revenues within 12-14 months.
During the first stages of our company's growth, our officers and directors will
be responsible for executing the business plan at no charge. Since we intend to
operate with very limited administrative support, the officers and directors
will continue to be responsible for administering the company for at least the
first year of operations. Management has no intention at this time to hire
additional employees during the first year of operations. Due to limited
financial resources, each of the management team will dedicate between 25 - 30
hours per week, to ensure all operations are executed.
ACTIVITIES TO DATE
We have reserved a domain name to operate our company's web site
(http://www.freightmanagementcorp.com) and have acquired web hosting space at a
nominal cost. We have also secured shared office space for $150 monthly for our
executive offices, and created a brand logo for our business. We have hired a
web design consultant to design and construct our website. The content developed
to date includes the sections: "About us, Service Information, Management Bio's,
Investor Relations, Terms of Use, and Contact us" in tabular format. The website
architecture has been designed to allow easy navigation for our target market
users. We are in the process of developing our intelligent online system
(FRINFO) which will serve as the core of our online service. These future
activities related to our website are described in "milestones".
Our officers and directors estimate that they have spent approximately 600 hours
on development activities related to the website smart knowledge center, which
contains the core data relevant to the shipping and freight industry. Mr.
Abotaleb has been collecting and storing relevant data for input in the
knowledge center. This development time also included creating links to relevant
articles on other websites and online information providers.
We have identified several suitable firms to complete the development of our
intelligent online system, but we have not yet entered into any contracts for
these services. We evaluated potential candidates on the basis of skill,
previous history with building intelligent system platforms, software
development background and coding aptitudes, references and price.

MILESTONES
The following is a chronological itemization of the milestones we plan to
achieve over the next 12 months. We are currently in the first month of these
milestones noted below.
Q1 (JANUARY - MARCH 2008)
MAJOR ACTIVITIES
During the first three months, we plan to:
* Identify and hire a software contactor to develop FRINFO
* Initiate our software development activities
* Initiate the development of our corporate and marketing collateral
Software development activities: We plan to retain the services of a software
contractor by the end of month 2. We have already identified few potential
development firm candidates in Egypt and India. All have extensive experience in
web application development using popular programming languages such as ASP,
ASP.NET and MSSQL. During months 3 and 4, we will work with the software
contractor on the development of the system specifications. This will involve a
study of the proposed application requirements and the design of the application
to handle the needs. This will also involve the release of the system logic to
the contractor. This will be an interactive process between our management and
the software contractor.
Marketing activities: By the end of month 2, we plan to hire a graphic and web
design contractor. We expect that the contractor will finish developing our
corporate collateral (including logo, business cards, letterheads, stationeries,
email forms) by the end of month 2 at a cost of $1,000. Once completed, the
contractor will proceed with the revamping of our web site. This task will be
completed by the end of month 3.
Q2 (APRIL - JUNE 2008)
MAJOR ACTIVITIES
During this quarter, we expect to:
* Continue to focus on the development of FRINFO
Software development activities: We first plan to finalize the design and
development of FRINFO. The system will interact with the customer by using built
in Artificial Intelligence (AI) software to recognize the customer's input and
then search the smart knowledge center to provide the most accurate and best
28
possible solution to the customer's request. An example of such requests could
be: "What is the best departure and arrival ports to ship my product from the
West Coast USA to Hong Kong, China?" or "What is the typical size of a
container? What is the maximum weight capacity for the container?" or "Where can
I find customs contacts in USA"?. It will then offer a variety of answers and
possible solutions to best address the query.
We expect the development of FRINFO to occupy the majority of time during this
quarter, as the software developer will require time and feedback from company
management to address questions in the framework of the solution. We will also
hire an additional contractor during this quarter. Mr. Lewis will be responsible
for maintaining close contact with the developer to assist with all related
development issues, and Mr. Abotaleb will be mainly responsible for ensuring the
shipping interface to customers is within the parameters of the software
architecture. Mr. Abotaleb will also be responsible for early stage compiling of
potential partners, and identifying good associations that will have an interest
in our intelligent software, which are addressed further in Q4.
Q3 (JULY - SEPTEMBER 2008)
MAJOR ACTIVITIES
During the third quarter, we expect to achieve the following:
* Complete software development activities
* Launch a trial version of our service
* Complete the formulation and execution of a marketing and sales
strategy
* Complete the development of our marketing collateral
Software development: we plan to complete and test the software through
simulation routines. Simulations will be focused on various data input and
typical end user queries. We will also incorporate the freight/shipping data and
information that we have gathered to date into our smart knowledge center, which
will serve as the core of FRINFO. Prior to the end of the quarter, we plan to
offer the service by free trial. Prospective customers can create an account and
try the service. We will offer customers the ability create online accounts and
will post their queries. Questions and answers will be saved in the customer's
online account for future reference.
During the quarter, we will rent our own dedicated server, which will be used to
host FRINFO in a secure environment. We plan on obtaining a server with the
latest version of Windows server software and MS SQL, to support a large
scalable database. We will also obtain ASP.NET, which will we will use to
construct our intelligent system and which will provide system growth
scalability as demand for our services increases. This notion is important to
the development of our website, so that we do not have to switch systems or
backend servers to accommodate the increase of traffic, which ultimately reduces
the down time and maintenance of our available service. The cost of the
dedicated server will be $150 per month.
Prior to the end of the third quarter, we will complete our marketing collateral
materials, including email formatted company brochures and service launch
reminders. These marketing pieces will be emailed to the participants who had
submitted queries initially during the free trial period. In this marketing
effort, we will offer a free `beta test' trial period.
Q4 (OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2008)
MAJOR ACTIVITIES
During the fourth quarter of our plan, we expect to achieve the following:
* Initiate revenue generating activities
* Develop a partner program with industry affiliates
During the fourth quarter we will begin to execute our sales and market plan
within the FRINFO solution, based on the feed-back and user input we have
obtained from our beta group testers. Specific targeted marketing campaigns will
be designed to target certain industries where users will benefit the most from
our online consulting service.
29
We will also register with a search engine program, namely Google AdWords and
MSN search engine to promote brand awareness and advertising. Programs such as
these direct end-users who are seeking related services such as our online
solution. There is no cost to access this function, other than a `cost per
click' to the company supporting the AdWord online program. Furthermore, we will
implement a `search optimization' program, which will place certain key words
and our company name/website at the top of these search engines. There is no
cost to perform this optimization. We believe this service will provide us with
a highly visible online presence, where users can find us anywhere online, and
then be directed to our website. Most importantly, we will engage a free
service, namely "Web Trends." This service allows us to track consumers who have
visited our site, by offering us information such as their geographic location
(city or country), the duration of time spent on our website, and which page of
our website did they spend the longest or shortest time on. This will give us an
indication of where our users are coming from, and what areas of our website
were most effective in retaining them, or not. This will also allow us to be
informed about how many unique visitors we have on our website, and those which
convert to the free trial basis. This conversion ratio, geographic information,
and any additional comments submitted on our website, will be important as we
develop our marketing materials to ensure that it is focused and relative to our
potential customers.
We plan to contract an experienced sales person starting in October. This
individual will be responsible for ensuring the search engine optimization is
kept up-to-date and that Google AdWords and MSN search engines continually
posture Freight Management at the top of the list. This person will also oversee
all sales related initiatives as they develop with the advancement of FRINFO
solution. They will be further responsible for being aware of industry changes
and economic upturns/downturns in our primary market, to ensure our sales
strategy and pricing remains competitive. Customer service will be a function of
`sales' at this stage, and this sales person will maintain phone and/or email
dialogue with current customers to ensure they are satisfied with their
experience and that the solution is providing them with accurate information.
We will also launch our online marketing campaign which will primarily focus on
introducing our product to various maritime and shipping associations,
federations, and forums. We plan to approach associations such as International
Shipping Federation, International Marine Forum, International Chamber of
Shipping, BIMCO, International Ship Managers' Association, and Association of
Dry Cargo Shipowners. We believe by partnering with groups such as these, we
will gain tremendous awareness in the shipping industry. We do not see any risk
or issue pertaining to our ability to partner with these groups, as their
mandates embrace the notion of knowledge and access to quality information to
existing and potential companies and end-users alike.
LIQUIDITY AND CASH RESOURCES
As previously noted, we have raised $8,000 from the sale of stock to our
officers and directors and $53,000 through a private placement to 39
non-affiliated investors. At December 31, 2007 we had $60,208 in cash. As of the
date hereof, we have approximately $50,340 of which we anticipate needing
approximately $12,240 for the yet unpaid expenses associated with this
Registration Statement (See ITEM 25 "Other Expenses if Issuance and
Distribution"). Our budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months are
$78,300. Therefore, we presently have a budgeted shortfall of approximately
$40,200.
How long Freight Management will be able to satisfy its cash requirements
depends on how quickly our company can generate revenue and how much revenue can
be generated. We estimate that our current cash balances will be extinguished
prior to the end of the third quarter in 2008, provided we do not have any
unanticipated expenses. Although there can be no assurance at present, we plan
to be in a position to generate revenues prior to the end of the year. We must
generate at least $40,300 in revenues in order to fund all expenditures under
our 12-month budget.
If we fail to generate sufficient revenues, we will need to raise additional
funds for the future development of our business, or to respond to unanticipated
requirements or expenses. We do not currently have any arrangements for
financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find
such financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available to us, or on terms that are acceptable. Consequently, we may not be
able to proceed with our intended business plans or complete the development and
commercialization of our product.
There are also no plans or expectations to purchase or sell any significant
equipment in the first year of operations.
30
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We do not own any property, real or otherwise. We rent executive office
facilities located at Suite 200, 8275 Eastern Avenue Las Vegas, NV, 89123. This
is a shared office facility, which offers office space and secretarial and
administrative services for $150 monthly. We may cancel upon 30 days written
notice. This location will serve as our primary executive offices for the
foreseeable future. Mr. Abotaleb and Mr. Lewis also work from their respective
residences in Canada and Egypt at no charge to our company. We have also
contracted to maintain and host web server space for our website with a third
party hosting business at a nominal cost.
We believe our current premises are adequate for our current operations and we
do not anticipate that we will require any additional premises in the
foreseeable future.
We do not have any investments or interests in any real estate. Our company does
not invest in real estate mortgages, nor does it invest in securities of, or
interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Other than the stock transactions discussed below, we have not entered into any
transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any director,
executive officer, shareholder of Freight Management or any member of the
immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a direct or indirect
material interest.
On September 17, 2007 Mr. Ibrahim Abotaleb and Mr. Gerald Lewis each purchased
2,000,000 shares of our common stock for $0.002 per share, or $4,000.00 each,
for an aggregate of $8,000.00.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
MARKET INFORMATION
Currently there is no public trading market for our stock, and we have not
applied to have our common stock listed. We intend to seek out a market maker to
apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board upon
effectiveness of this Form S-1. No trading symbol has yet been assigned.
RULES GOVERNING LOW-PRICE STOCKS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO
RESELL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our stock currently is not traded on any stock exchange or quoted on any stock
quotation system. Upon the registration statement in which this prospectus is
included becoming effective, we will seek out a market maker to apply for
quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB.
Quotations on the OTCBB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up,
markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Our common stock
may be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks
generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system,
provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume
information with respect to transaction in such securities. The additional sales
practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage
broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which could severely
limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in
the secondary market.
The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser's written consent to
the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents
prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature
and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared
31
by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the
transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose
commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and
current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to
send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the
penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the
limited market in penny stocks.
HOLDERS
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have 41 shareholders of record of
Freight Management common stock. We are registering 1,060,000 shares of our
common stock held by 39 non-affiliated investors under the Securities Act of
1933 for sale by the selling securities holders named in this prospectus. This
does not include the 4,000,000 shares held by our Officers and Directors.
RULE 144 SHARES.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our Officers and Directors
(affiliates) hold all of the 4,000,000 shares, which may be sold in the future
pursuant to Rule 144. These shares are currently restricted from trading and
under amendments to Rule 144 (which became effective on February 15, 2008 but
have retroactive application to the date of issuance), these shares will only be
available for resale to the public after March 17, 2008 if:
* We are no longer a shell company as defined under section 12b-2 of the
Exchange Act. A "shell company" is defined as a company with no or
nominal operations, and with no or nominal assets or assets consisting
solely of cash and cash equivalents.
* We have filed all Exchange Act reports required for the past 12
months; and
* If applicable, at least one year has elapsed from the time that we
file current Form 10 information on Form 8-K changing our status from
a shell company to an entity that is not a shell company.
At present, we are considered to be a shell company under the regulations. If we
meet the requirements at any date subsequent to March 17, 2008 in the future,
our officers and directors would be entitled to sell within any three month
period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1% of the number
of shares of our common stock then outstanding which, in this case, will
currently equate to approximately 50,600 shares; or the average weekly trading
volume of Freight Management common stock during the four calendar weeks,
preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale for sales
exceeding 5,000 shares or an aggregate sale price in excess of $50,000. If fewer
shares at lesser value are sold, no Form 144 is required.
DIVIDENDS.
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends to our
shareholders. There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay
dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The Nevada
Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after
giving effect to the distribution of the dividend: Freight Management would not
be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
its total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the
amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have
preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
DIFFICULTY TO RESELL FREIGHT MANAGEMENT STOCK, AS THE COMPANY HAS NO
EXPECTATIONS TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE NEAR FUTURE
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, and if,
declared by the board of directors. We will not be paying cash dividends in the
foreseeable future, but instead we will be retaining any and all earnings to
finance the growth of our business. To date, we have not paid cash dividends on
our common stock. This lack of an ongoing return on investment may make it
difficult to sell our common stock and if the stock is sold the seller may be
forced to sell the stock at a loss.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Freight Management Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Freight Management Corp. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows through December 31, 2007,
and Inception on September 17, 2007 through December 31, 2007. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our 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 the audits 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 Freight Management Corp. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows through December 31, 2007, and Inception on
September 17, 2007 through December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has net losses in the amount of $1,576 as of
December 31, 2007, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also
described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
NOTE 1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on
September 17, 2007. The Company has limited operations and in accordance with
SFAS #7, is considered a development stage company, and has had no revenues from
operations to date.
Initial operations have included organization, capital formation, target market
identification, new product development and marketing plans. Management is
planning to complete development and then market an integrated website for
planning and analyzing shipping logistics to prospective clients. See Note 5.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The relevant accounting policies and procedures are listed below. The company
has adopted a December 31 year end.
ACCOUNTING BASIS
The basis is generally accepted accounting principles.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
(loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128
supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic
earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128 effective its inception.
The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by
dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted
number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially
dilutive debt or equity.
The Company has not issued any options or warrants or similar securities since
inception.

NOTE 2. (continued)
DIVIDENDS
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No
dividends have been paid during the periods shown.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset
or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit)
results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred
tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

WEBSITE COSTS
Website costs consist of software development costs, which represent capitalized
costs of design, configuration, coding, installation and testing of the
Company's website up to its initial implementation. Upon implementation in
December 2007, the asset is being amortized to expense over its estimated useful
life of three years using the straight-line method. Ongoing website
post-implementation costs of operation, including training and application
maintenance, will be charged to expense as incurred. See Note 7.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other
things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. The Company has net losses for the period from inception to
December 31, 2007 of $1,576. The Company intends to fund operations through
sales and equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its
capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements through the
next fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent
upon the Company's successful efforts to raise sufficient capital and then
attaining profitable operations. In response to these problems, management has
planned the following actions:
* The Company intends to complete and file a Registration Statement with
the SEC.
* Management intends to raise additional funds through public or private
placement offerings.
* Management is currently completing development of its proposed
internet/web based product to generate sales. There can be no
assurances, however, that management's expectations of future sales
will be realized.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
AUTHORIZED
The Company is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common
stock. All common stock shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and
have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the
holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so,
elect all of the directors of the Company.
ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING
On September 17, 2007 (inception), the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its
common stock to its Directors for cash of $8,000. See Note 5.
On December 31, 2007, the Company closed a private placement for 1,060,000
common shares at a price of $0.05 per share, or an aggregate of $53,000. The
Company accepted subscriptions from 39 offshore non-affiliated investors.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company's neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. The
Company's Directors provides office space free of charge. The officers and
directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in
the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific
business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in
selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company
has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
The amount due to a director of $820 has no repayment terms, is unsecured
without interest and is for reimbursement of company incorporation expenses. The
company plans to pay the amount within the next 12 months.
On February 26, 2007 (inception), the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its
common stock to its Directors for cash of $8,000. See Note 4.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
Net deferred tax assets are $nil. Realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that
deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available
to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income
is uncertain, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance. Management
believes it is likely that any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of
approximately $1,576, which will expire 20 years from the date the loss was
incurred.

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes and the bylaws.
Nevada corporation law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Nevada corporation law also provides that to the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our company to indemnify our directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law. Our Bylaws
require us to indemnify any present and former directors, officers, employees,
agents, partners, trustees and each person who serves in any such capacities at
our request against all costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines,
liabilities and all amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such
persons in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, action,
suit or proceeding brought against such person by reason of the fact that such
person was a director, officer, employee, agent, partner or trustees of our
company. We will only indemnify such persons if one of the groups set out below
determines that such person has conducted themself in good faith and that such
person:
- reasonably believed that their conduct was in or not opposed to our
company's best interests; or
- with respect to criminal proceedings had no reasonable cause to
believe their conduct was unlawful.
Our Bylaws also require us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of our company to procure a judgment in our company's
favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent of our company or is or was serving at the request of
our company in any such capacities against all costs, expenses, judgments,
penalties, fines, liabilities and all amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person. We will only indemnify such persons if one
of the groups set out below determined that such persons have conducted
themselves in good faith and that such person reasonably believed that their
conduct was in or not opposed to our company's best interests. Unless a court
otherwise orders, we will not indemnify any such person if such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in
the performance of such person's duty to our company.
The determination to indemnify any such person must be made:
- by our stockholders;
- by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
- by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
- by court order.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under
Nevada law or otherwise, our company has been advised that the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
II-1
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may

Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as

event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment
by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of our company in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is
asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
We have sold securities within the past three years without registering the
securities under the Securities Act of 1933 on two separate occasions.
On September 17, 2007 Mr. Ibrahim Abotaleb, our President and Director,
purchased 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for $0.002 per share or an
aggregate of $4,000. On September 17, 2007 Mr. Gerald Lewis, our Secretary
Treasurer and Director, purchased 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for
$0.002 per share or an aggregate of $4,000. No underwriters were used, and no
commissions or other remuneration was paid except to Freight Management. The
securities were sold in an offshore transaction relying on Rule 903 of
Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Mr. Abotaleb and Mr. Lewis are not
U.S. persons as that term is defined in Regulation S. No directed selling
efforts were made in the United States by Freight Management, any distributor,
any of their respective affiliates or any person acting on behalf of any of the
foregoing. We are subject to Category 3 of Rule 903 of Regulation S and
accordingly we implemented the offering restrictions required by Category 3 of
Rule 903 of Regulation S by including a legend on all offering materials and
documents which stated that the shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to
US persons unless the shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or
an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 is
available. The offering materials and documents also contained a statement that
hedging transactions involving the shares may not be conducted unless in
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. The shares continue to be subject to
Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
On December 31, 2007 we accepted subscription agreements that sold 1,060,000
common shares to the following 39 subscribers at an offering price of $0.05 per
share for gross offering proceeds of $53,000. This was an offshore transaction
pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The offering price for the
offshore transactions was established on an arbitrary basis. All of the
following persons are not U.S. persons, as the term is defined under Regulation
S and the sales of our common stock to the following person are made in offshore
transactions as the term is defined under Regulation S. No direct selling
efforts were made in the United States by Freight Management, any distributor,
II-2
any of our respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the
foregoing. We are subject to Category 3 of Rule 903 of Regulation S and
accordingly we implemented the offering restrictions required by Category 3 of
Rule 903 of Regulation S by including a legend on all offering materials and
documents which stated that the shares have not been registered under the
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to
U.S. persons unless the shares are registered under the SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
if an exemption from registration requirements of the SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 is
available. The offering materials and documents also contained a statement that
hedging transactions involving the shares may not be conducted unless in
compliance with the SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
We hereby undertake the following:
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this registration statement, or most recent
post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the Offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide Offering thereof.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the
Offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
provisions above, or otherwise, Freight Management has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of the directors,
officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of the directors, officers, or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, Freight Management
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act, and Freight Management will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement
in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
Registrant under Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as
part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it
effective.

OPINION OF COUNSEL AND CONSENT OF COUNSEL
TO: Board of Directors
Freight Management Corp.
RE: Registration Statement on Form S-1
Gentlemen:
As counsel to Freight Management Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), we
have participated in the preparation of the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the registration of 1,060,000
shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock. As counsel to the
Company, we have examined such corporate records, certificates and other
documents of the Company, and made inquiries of such officers of the Company, as
we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. We have
also examined the applicable laws of the State of Nevada, provisions of the
Nevada Constitution, and reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws.
Based upon such examinations, we are of the opinion that the shares of the
Company's common stock to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement are
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the shares of the common
stock of the Company.
We hereby consent to the inclusion of this Opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company and the reference to our
firm contained therein under "Legal Matters".
Sincerely,
