A CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING 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

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.

TERMS OF THE OFFERING
The selling stockholders named in this Prospectus are offering shares of
Common Stock of the Company for their own account (the "Offering"). We will
not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares of Common
Stock. There will be 30,000,000 shares of our Common Stock outstanding prior
to and after this Offering. The fixed price of $0.01 (the "Offering
Price") was determined based upon the price the shares of Common Stock were
sold to our stockholders in an offering conducted pursuant to Regulation S,
whereby all stockholders represented to us that they are non-U.S. persons as
such is defined under Regulation S. The offering by the selling shareholders
is at a fixed price of $0.01 per share for the entire duration of the offering
until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at
prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no
assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with
FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there be any assurance that such an
application for quotation will be approved. There is no assurance that a
trading market will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained.
Consequently, a purchaser of the Common Stock may find it difficult to resell
the securities offered herein should the purchaser desire to do so.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in
this Prospectus before investing in our Common Stock. If any of the
following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial
condition could be seriously harmed.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
OUR AUDITOR HAS EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS
A GOING CONCERN.
We are a development stage company. Based on our financial history since
inception, our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to
continue as a going concern. If we cannot obtain sufficient funding, we may
have to delay or abandon the implementation of our business strategy.
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY THAT YOU CAN USE TO EVALUATE US, AND THE
LIKELIHOOD OF OUR SUCCESS MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE PROBLEMS,
EXPENSES, DIFFICULTIES, COMPLICATIONS AND DELAYS FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY A
SMALL DEVELOPING COMPANY.
The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems,
expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a
small company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive
environment. Since we have no operating history, we cannot assure you that
our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient
revenues to meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.
WE WILL REQUIRE FINANCING TO ACHIEVE OUR CURRENT BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OUR
INABILITY TO OBTAIN SUCH FINANCING COULD PROHIBIT US FROM EXECUTING OUR
BUSINESS PLAN AND CAUSE US TO DELAY OR ABANDON COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS.
We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or sale
of equity to achieve our current business strategy. Such financing may not
be available when needed. Even if such financing is available, it may be on
terms that are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution
of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms.
Our capital requirements to implement our business strategy will be
significant. No assurance can be given that such funds will be available or,
if available, will be on commercially reasonable terms satisfactory to us.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing if and
when it is needed on terms we deem acceptable.
7
We estimate that our current cash resources will be sufficient to finance our
operations, at the current level of activity, for a period of six to eight
months. Over the next twelve months we expect to require $120,000 to fully
implement our business plan. Our current cash resources are insufficient to
finance our planned expenditures. To successfully execute our planned
operations we will need to raise approximately $90,000. Our options for
raising the funds include the public or private sale of our common stock,
bank financing or further advances from our President. We have no plans for
such financing and cannot guarantee that any such financing would be
available.
If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced
to delay, diminish or abandon our plan of operation. Such inability to obtain
financing on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results, or financial condition.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT, IN PART, ON THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED
SERVICES OF SCOTT GERARDI. WITHOUT HIS CONTINUED SERVICE, WE MAY BE FORCED
TO INTERRUPT OR EVENTUALLY CEASE OUR OPERATIONS.
We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities
and continued services of Scott Gerardi, our President and Chief Executive
Officer. We currently do not have an employment agreement with Scott
Gerardi. The loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operation.
THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE SHARES WAS ARBITRARILY DETERMINED, AND THEREFORE
SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE
SECURITIES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACTUAL
VALUE OF THE COMPANY, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.
Since our Common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation
system, the offering price of $0.01 per share was arbitrarily determined.
The Offering Price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or
earnings of our Company or any other recognized criteria of value. The
Offering should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market
price of the securities.
WE WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB
SUCH COSTS.
We will in the future incur significant costs associated with our public
company reporting requirements, costs associated with accounting requirements
and other rules implemented by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly
increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities
more time consuming and costly. We expect our legal and audit costs to keep
the Company fully reporting will cost us approximately $15,000 per year. We
may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will
negatively affect our business operations.
8
WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE TO CONTINUE OFFERING OUR
ADVERTISING CLIENTS COMPETITIVE SERVICES OR WE MAY LOSE CLIENTS AND BE UNABLE
TO COMPETE.
Our future success will depend on our ability to continue delivering our
advertising clients competitive results-based Internet marketing services.
In order to do so, we will need to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to
adapt our services to evolving industry standards and to improve the
performance of our services. Our failure to adapt to such changes would
likely lead to a loss of clients or a substantial reduction in the fees we
would be able to charge versus competitors who have more rapidly adopted
improved technology. Any loss of clients or reduction of fees would
adversely impact our revenue. In addition, the widespread adoption of new
Internet technologies or other technological changes could require
substantial expenditures by us to modify or adapt our services or
infrastructure. If we are unable to pass all or part of these costs on to
our clients, our margins and, therefore, profitability will be reduced.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES COULD BLOCK OR FILTER OUR ADS, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR SERVICES AND LEAD TO A LOSS OF CUSTOMERS.
Technologies may be developed that can block the display of our ads. We
expect to derive a portion our revenues from fees paid to us by advertisers
in connection with the display of ads on web pages. Any ad-blocking
technology effective against our ad placements could severely restrict the
number of advertisements that we are able to place before consumers resulting
in a reduction in the attractiveness of our services to advertisers. If
advertisers determine that our services are not providing substantial value,
we may suffer a loss of clients. As a result, ad-blocking technology could,
in the future, substantially decrease the number of ads we place resulting in
a decrease in our revenues.
IF OUR BUSINESS PLAN IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE
OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE
INVESTMENT IN US.
As discussed in the footnotes to financial statements included in this
Offering Document, our auditors have given us a Going Concern comment. This
raises substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a
going concern, and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph
regarding this uncertainty in their report on our financial statements. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash
flow sufficient to fund operations and reducing operating expenses. Our
business plans may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot
continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire
investment with us.
9
IF THE ACCEPTANCE OF ONLINE ADVERTISING AND ONLINE DIRECT MARKETING DOES NOT
INCREASE, OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER.
The demand for online marketing may not develop to a level sufficient to
support our continued operations or may develop more slowly than we expect.
We expect to derive our revenues from contracts with advertiser clients under
which we provide online marketing services through our offer distribution
network. The Internet has not existed long enough as a marketing medium to
demonstrate its effectiveness relative to traditional marketing methods.
Advertisers that have historically relied on traditional marketing methods
may be reluctant or slow to adopt online marketing. Many advertisers have
limited or no experience using the Internet as a marketing medium. In
addition, advertisers that have invested substantial resources in traditional
methods of marketing may be reluctant to reallocate these resources to online
marketing. Those companies that have invested a significant portion of their
marketing budgets in online marketing may decide after a time to return to
more traditional methods if they find that online marketing is a less
effective method of promoting their products and services than traditional
marketing methods. Moreover, the Internet-based companies that have adopted
online marketing methods may themselves develop more slowly than anticipated
or not at all. This, in turn, may result in slower growth in demand for the
online direct marketing services of the type we provide.
We do not know if accepted industry standards for measuring the effectiveness
of online marketing, particularly of the cost per action model most commonly
used by us, will develop. An absence of accepted standards for measuring
effectiveness could discourage companies from committing significant
resources to online marketing. Moreover, advertisers may determine that the
cost per action pricing model is less effective in achieving, or entirely
fails to achieve, their marketing objectives. If the market for Internet
advertising fails to continue to develop, develops more slowly than we
expect, or rejects our primary cost per action pricing model, our ability to
place offers and generate revenues could be harmed.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH OTHER INTERNET PROVIDERS, ALMOST ALL OF
WHOM HAVE GREATER RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCE THAN WE DO.
Mostly all of our competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing
and other resources and larger customer bases than we have. We are less
financially leveraged than they are. As a result, these competitors may be
able to: adapt to changes in customer requirements more quickly; introduce
new and more innovative internet technological products more quickly; better
adapt to downturns in the economy or other decreases in sales; better
withstand pressure to accept customer concerns; take advantage of acquisition
and other opportunities more readily; devote greater resources to the
marketing and sale of their services; and adopt more aggressive pricing
policies.
10
UPON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS
IS A PART, WE WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO FILE PROXY STATEMENTS PURSUANT TO THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, WHICH MAY IMPEDE YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN
INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS.
Upon effectiveness of this registration statement we will be subject to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Section 15(d) we are not
required to file proxy statements. Proxy statements may be useful to
investors in assessing corporate business decisions such as how management is
paid and potential conflict-of-interest issues with auditors. Only if we
register our Common Stock under the Exchange Act will we be required to file
proxy statements. However, we may never file a Form 8A to register our Common
Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. If we do not file a Form 8A, we
are not required to file proxy statements and it may impede your ability to
obtain information about our business and operations which may have a
negative effect on your investment.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
RULE 144 SAFE HARBOR IS UNAVAILABLE FOR THE RESALE OF SHARES ISSUED BY
US UNLESS AND UNTIL WE CEASED TO BE A SHELL COMPANY AND HAVE SATISFIED THE
REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144(I)(1)(2).
Accend Media is a "shell company" as defined by Rule 12b-2 promulgated
under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the securities in this offering can
only be resold through registration under the Securities Act, meeting the
safe harbor provisions of paragraph (i) of Rule 144, or in reliance upon
Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 for non-affiliates. See "Special
provisions for 'Shell Companies' such as Accend Media" on Page 24.
A "shell company" means a registrant, other than an asset-backed issuer,
that has:
o No or nominal operations; and
Either,
o no or nominal assets;
o assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or
o assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and
nominal other assets.
The provisions of Rule 144(i) providing for the six month holding period are
not available for the resale of securities initially issued by a "shell
company."
11
Rule 144 safe harbor is unavailable for the resale of shares issued by us
unless and until we have ceased to be a shell company and have satisfied the
requirements of Rule 144(i)(1)(2).
The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144 which became effective on
February 15, 2008. Pursuant to Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time
a "shell company", as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule
12b-2 of the Exchange Act, ceases to be a "shell company" and files Form 10
information with the SEC, during which time the issuer must remain current
in its filing obligations, before a restricted shareholder can resell their
holdings in reliance on Rule 144.
The term "Form 10 information" means the information that is required by SEC
Form 10, to register under the Exchange Act each class of securities being
sold under Rule 144. The Form 10 information is deemed filed when the
initial filing is made with the SEC. Under Rule 144, restricted or
unrestricted securities, that were initially issued by a reporting or
non-reporting shell company or a company that was at anytime previously a
reporting or non-reporting shell company, can only be resold in reliance on
Rule 144 if the following conditions are met: (1) the issuer of the
securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has
ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (3)
the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to
be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during
the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required
to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (4) at
least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current
Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity
that is not a shell company.
THERE IS NO LIQUIDITY AND NO ESTABLISHED PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
AND WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL AT OBTAINING A QUOTATION ON A RECOGNIZED
QUOTATION SERVICE. IN SUCH EVENT IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
There is presently no public market for our Common Stock. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful at developing a public market or in
having our Common Stock quoted on a quotation facility such as the OTCBB.
There are risks associated with attempting to obtain a quotation for our
Common Stock, including that broker dealers may not be willing to make a
market in our Common Stock, or to request that our Common Stock be quoted on
a quotation service. In addition, even if a quotation is obtained, the OTCBB
and similar quotation services are often characterized by low trading
volumes, and price volatility, which may make it difficult for an investor to
sell our Common Stock on acceptable terms. If trades in our Common Stock are
not quoted on a quotation facility, it may be very difficult for investors to
find buyers for their shares of Company Common Stock.
12
WE MAY, IN THE FUTURE, ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, WHICH WOULD
REDUCE INVESTORS' PERCENT OF OWNERSHIP AND MAY DILUTE SHARE VALUE.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of
Common Stock. As of the date of this Prospectus we had 30,000,000 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional
45,000,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of Common Stock may
result in substantial dilution in the percentage of Common Stock held by our
then existing stockholders. We may value any Common Stock issued in the
future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Common Stock for future
services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of
diluting the value of the shares of Common Stock held by our investors, and
might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Common Stock.
CERTAIN COMPANY ACTIONS AND THE INTERESTS OF STOCKHOLDERS MAY DIFFER.
The voting control of the Company could discourage others from initiating a
potential merger, takeover or another change-of-control transaction that
could be beneficial to stockholders. As a result, the value of stock could
be harmed. Purchasers should be aware that a single stockholder who is our
sole officer and director owns approximately 77% of the Company's issued and
outstanding Common Stock.
BECAUSE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, OUR
STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RETURN ON THEIR SHARES UNLESS THEY
SELL THEM.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and
expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on
our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our
stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they
sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell
shares when desired.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET OR THAT THE COMMON STOCK WILL EVER
TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE
YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
There is no established public trading market for our Common Stock. Our
Common Stock is not and has not been listed or quoted on any exchange or
quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to
file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can
there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be
approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed,
will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be
unable to liquidate their investment.
13
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH IS SUBJECT TO
RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
If our Common Stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be
subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their
customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure
requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our Common
Stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders
to sell their Common Stock.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00
(other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or
quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules,
to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information
about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-
dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The broker-
dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is
a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of
reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a
security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional
burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage
broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could
severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These
requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common
Stock and may affect your ability to resell the Common Stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling stockholders are selling shares of Common Stock covered by this
Prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from the sale of these shares. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating
to the registration of the shares for the selling stockholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering by the selling shareholders is at a fixed price of $0.01 per
share for the entire duration of the offering until our shares are quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or
privately negotiated prices. This price was arbitrarily determined by us.
DILUTION
The Common Stock to be sold by the selling stockholders is Common Stock that
is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution
to our existing stockholders.
14
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of Common Stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders
hereunder consist of 6,000,000 shares of our Common Stock held by 31
stockholders who purchased the Common Stock in an offering exempt from
registration pursuant to the exemption provided by Regulation S.
Each of the selling shareholders is an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act in connection with each sale of shares. The selling
shareholders will pay all commissions, transfer taxes and other expenses
associated with their sales.
The selling stockholders may from time-to-time offer and sell any or all of
their shares during the duration of this Offering at the fixed price of
$0.01 per share until a market develops for our shares, such as
quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or listed on a national
securities exchange.
All expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the Common Stock
will be borne by us, but we will not be obligated to pay any underwriting
fees, discounts, commissions or other expenses incurred by the selling
stockholders in connection with the sale of such shares.
The following table sets forth information with respect to the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders
named below and as adjusted to give effect to the sale of the shares offered
hereby. The table lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by each selling stockholder as of the date of this Prospectus, the
shares of Common Stock covered by this Prospectus that may be disposed of by
each of the selling stockholders and the number of shares that will be
beneficially owned by the selling stockholders assuming all of the shares
covered by this Prospectus are sold.
The shares beneficially owned have been determined in accordance with rules
promulgated by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the

other purpose. The information in the table below is current as of the date
of this Prospectus. All information contained in the table below is based
upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders and we have not

otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on
which it provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned,
all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned in transactions exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The selling
stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this Prospectus
any or all of the Common Stock being registered. The selling stockholders
are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the
selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon
effectiveness of this Prospectus. All information with respect to share
ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.
15
Except as may be indicated below, no selling stockholder is the beneficial
owner of any additional shares of common stock or other equity securities
issued by us or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, our equity securities. No selling stockholder is a
registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. In addition, the
selling stockholders purchased the stock from us in the ordinary course of
business. At the time of the purchase of the stock to be resold, none of the
selling shareholders had any agreements or understandings with us, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the stock.
The following table provides as of the date of this Prospectus, information
regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each of the
selling shareholders, including:

18
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
--------------------
The selling shareholders are underwriters as defined under the Securities
Act of 1933. The offering by the selling shareholders is at a fixed price
of $0.01 per share for the entire duration of the offering until our shares
are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market
prices or privately negotiated prices.
Prior to being quoted on the OTCBB, stockholders may sell their shares in
private transactions to other individuals at a fixed price of $0.01 per
share. Although our Common Stock is not listed on a public exchange, we
will plan to seek a listing on the OTCBB at some time in the future. In
order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on
our behalf in order to make a market for our Common Stock. There can be no
assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with
FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there be any assurance that such an
application for quotation will be approved. Sales by selling stockholders
must be made at the fixed price of $0.01 during the entire duration of the
offering until a market develops for the Common Stock.
If and when a market has been developed for our Common Stock, the shares may
be sold or distributed from time-to-time by the selling stockholders directly
to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as
agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which
may be changed. At such time, the distribution of the shares may be effected
in one or more of the following methods:
o ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,
o transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market
where our common stock is trading,
o through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,
o through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether
exchange listed of otherwise), or
o any combination of the foregoing.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or
both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of
customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently
estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements
between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or
agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive
any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling stockholders pursuant
to this Prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration
of the Common Stock.
19
PENNY STOCK RULES
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate
broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" as
such term is defined by Rule 15g-9. Penny stocks are generally equity
securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered
on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system
provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The Common Stock offered by this Prospectus constitutes penny stock under the
Securities and Exchange Act. The Common Stock will remain penny stock for the
foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult
for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it
more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any
broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her
shares of Common Stock in our Company will be subject to the penny stock
rules.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a
penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized
risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which: (i) contains a
description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in
both public offerings and secondary trading; (ii) contains a description of
the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and
remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties
or other requirements of Securities' laws; (iii) contains a brief, clear,
narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for
penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
(iv) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions; (v) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the
conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (vi) contains such other information
and is in such form as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any
transaction in a penny stock, (i) bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock; (ii) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction; (iii) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices
apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of
the market for such stock; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a
penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written
agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy
of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have
the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our
stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore,
stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
20
BLUE SKY RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE
When a selling stockholder wants to sell shares of our Common Stock under the
Prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, the selling
stockholder will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known
as "blue sky laws," with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a
variety of exemptions from registration of secondary sales. The broker for a
selling stockholder will be able to advise the stockholder as to which states
have an exemption for secondary sales of our Common Stock.
Any person who purchases shares of our Common Stock from a selling
stockholder pursuant to this Prospectus and who subsequently wishes to resell
such shares will also have to comply with blue sky laws regarding secondary
sales.
When this Prospectus becomes effective, a selling stockholder will indicate
in which state(s) he or she wishes to sell the shares, and such seller's
broker will be able to identify whether the stockholder will need to register
in that state or may rely on an exemption from registration.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock,
$0.001 par value per share. As of March 24, 2011 there were 30,000,000
shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding held by 33 stockholders of
record.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of our Common Stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from
funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and
are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution
to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our
affairs. Our Common Stock does not provide the right to preemptive,
subscription or conversion rights, and there are no redemption or sinking
fund provisions or rights. Our common stockholders are entitled to one non-
cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
Please refer to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the
applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of
the rights of holders of the Company's Common Stock.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any
future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and
depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial
position, general economic conditions and other pertinent factors. It is our
present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future,
but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
21
WARRANTS
There are no outstanding warrants to purchase our securities.
OPTIONS
There are no outstanding options to purchase our securities.
INTERST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel named in this Prospectus as having prepared or certified
any part thereof or having given an opinion upon the validity of the
securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with
the registration or offering of our Common Stock was employed on a
contingency basis or had or is to receive, in connection with the Offering, a
substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in our Company. Additionally,
no such expert or counsel was connected with us as a promoter, managing or
principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.
AUDITING MATTER
Our financial statements for the period from our inception on December 20,
2010 to February 28, 2011 included in this Prospectus have been audited by
De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC, an independent registered public accounting

included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm
as experts in accounting and auditing.

ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS
Accend Media is a private Nevada Corporation, whose business is focused in
technology based Internet media, marketing, and software company that
specializes in generating Internet based sales leads and product sales. We
were incorporated on December 20, 2010 as a Nevada corporation under the name
Accend Media. Activities to date have been limited primarily to
organization, initial capitalization, establishing administrative offices in
Las Vegas, NV, and commencing our initial operational plans.
22
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
-------------------------------
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the
public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to
time. The shares of our common stock offered may be resold without
restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that
any shares purchased by our "affiliates," as that term is defined under the
Securities Act, may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under
the Securities Act.
Rule 144
--------
All of the presently outstanding shares of our Common Stock are "restricted
securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act
and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules
amending Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008. Pursuant to
Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a "shell company", as defined
in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, ceases
to be a "shell company" and files Form 10 information with the SEC, during
which time the issuer must remain current in its filing obligations, before
a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144.
Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be
required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10
under the Exchange Act.
23
Special provisions for "Shell Companies" such as Accend Media
-------------------------------------------------------------
At the present time, we are classified as a "shell company" under Rule 405
of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As such, all
restricted securities presently held by the founders of our company may not
be resold in reliance on Rule 144 until: (1) we file Form 10 information
with the SEC when we cease to be a "shell company;" (2) we have filed all
reports as required by Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Act for twelve
consecutive months; and (3) one year has elapsed from the time we file the
current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting our status as an
entity that is not a shell company.
Under Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities, that were initially
issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or a company that was
at anytime previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company, can only
be resold through registration, meeting the safe harbor provisions of
paragraph (i) of Rule 144, or in reliance upon Section 4(1) of the Securities
Act of 1933 for non-affiliates if the following conditions are met: (1) the
issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell
company has ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act; (3) the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material
required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the
Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K
reports; and (4) at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed
the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an
entity that is not a shell company.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Model
Description of Business
Accend Media provides internet marketing services for its clients, who seek
increased sales and customer contact through online marketing channels. The
Company's clients will include branded advertisers, direct marketers, lead
aggregators, and agencies.
Our services include:
-Creating of advertising campaigns used to market products and/or services
online.
-Designing and hosting of customized web pages for our customers.
-Development of software applications that provide increased efficiency,
compliance and/or better monetization of online marketing campaigns. An
example of our compliance application is the UnsubToday.com service for
email suppression list management.
Accend Media is powered by its own proprietary Lead Generation Software
Platform. This technology platform allows the Company to process and sell
real-time leads to clients across multiple verticals. The platform employs a
rules-based decision engine designed to maximize the value of every lead that
it processes. The platform conducts comprehensive detailed analysis of every
lead entering the system as well as the pool of clients eligible to purchase
the lead. The system also monitors consumer and publisher activity which
allows us to analyze the effectiveness of different marketing campaigns,
advertisements and specific promotions. This software tool helps us separate
performing campaigns from non-performing campaigns, which allows us to
maximize our internal profit margin while best serving our clients needs.
Marketing Strategy
------------------
Accend Media plans to own and operate a variety of Internet websites. The
Company plans to generate traffic to its websites both internally and from
third party internet advertising. The Company's Web properties and marketing
activities are designed to generate real-time response based marketing
results for our clients.
While visiting one of our Accend Media's websites, consumers will be given
the opportunity to sign up, purchase and/or ask to be contacted about various
product and service offerings. These web websites generate a variety of
transactional results ranging from: (a) Web traffic; (b) inbound
telemarketing calls; (c) outbound telemarketing leads; (d) marketable
profiled data lists of consumers; (e) targeted response leads; and (f)
completed applications for products and services.
Accend Media plans to utilize a number of online marketing channels to build
our databases. These include but are not limited to:
25
Email Marketing
---------------
The Company's websites will be promoted through CANSPAM compliant opt-in
email marketing newsletters. Advertising dollars for email marketing are
typically spent on a Cost-Per-Acquisition basis, but Accend Media also
employs on a Cost-Per-Click or Cost-Per-Million basis.
Search Engine Marketing
-----------------------
Accend Media plans to utilize search engine marketing to direct consumers to
its websites. Funds generated from the program will be placed in an open
account with each provider and are spent on a Cost-Per-Click auction basis.
Google, Yahoo, and Bing are the primary 3 search engines providers used.
Display Advertising
-------------------
Accend Media plans to purchase an advertising inventory by placing a banner,
button, or text link on websites owned by third party companies. When
consumers click on our banner, button, or text link, they are referred to our
website. Using an ad server and our internal platform, we gauge
effectiveness and return on investment of each advertising campaign.
Affiliate Marketing
-------------------
Accend Media plans to engage publishers to run its offers and promotions on a
Cost Per Action basis. Publishers are provided with real-time commission
tracking.
Sales Strategy
--------------
Accend Media plans to sell its products and services to a network of
participating lead buyers and advertisers in various categories. Some of
these categories include - but are not limited to - the financial, insurance,
travel, automotive, and deal of the day coupon industries.
Accend Media delivers internet marketing leads to business buyers in a lead
auction format. This format allows clients to bid on qualified leads as they
are created. Management believes this is the best way to derive the highest
revenue per lead in the marketplace.
Software Development
--------------------
Our sole officer is responsible for all Accend Media's software development,
management, and upgrades. He creates all new client accounts and implements
lead delivery options based on customer needs. He is responsible for
continually upgrading the Lead Generation Software Platform to accommodate
new feature sets and increased scalability.
26
Competition
-----------
The internet lead generation and product sales marketplace is highly
competitive. Management believes that Accend Media's proprietary Lead
Generation Software Platform provides the company with a competitive
advantage within the marketplace because of its concurrent ability to exploit
the most effective marketing campaigns while selling leads at their highest
value. A number of competitors are active in specific aspects of our
business. In the area of business sales lead products, Accend Media faces
competition primarily from companies such as Experian, Equifax, Acxiom,
Quinstreet, Atrinsic, and ValueClick. These major competitors offer online
leads directly to the end customer and sell their online leads through
reseller networks. In the area of email compliance software, Accend Media
faces competition from Digital River, Unsub Central, and Optizmo.
Government Regulation
---------------------
We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting our
business. Although the Company plans on obtaining all required federal and
state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facilities, there can be no
assurance that the Company's operation and profitability will not be subject
to more restrictive regulation or increased taxation by federal, state, or
local agencies. New laws and regulations may restrict specific Internet
activities, and existing laws and regulations may be applied to Internet
activities, either of which could increase our costs of doing business over
the Internet and adversely affect the demand for our advertising services.
In the United States, federal and state laws already apply or may be applied
in the future to areas, including children's privacy, copyrights, taxation,
user privacy, search engines, Internet tracking technologies, direct
marketing, data security, pricing, sweepstakes, promotions, intellectual
property ownership and infringement, trade secrets, export of encryption
technology, acceptable content and quality of goods and services.
Government Approval

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings which involve
us.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
MARKET INFORMATION
ADMISSION TO QUOTATION ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD
We intend at some time in the future to have our Common Stock be quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board. If our Common Stock is not quoted on the OTCBB, a
stockholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTCBB differs from
national and regional stock exchanges in that it:
(1) is not situated in a single location but operates through communication
of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and (2) securities
admitted to quotation are offered by one or more broker-dealers.
To qualify for quotation on the OTCBB, an equity security must have one
registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or
sale quotations and to sponsor the listing of a company's securities. We do
not yet have an agreement with a registered broker-dealer, as the market
maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the Common Stock
of the Company. We may not now and may never qualify for quotation on the
OTCBB.
TRANSFER AGENT
We have not retained a transfer agent to serve as transfer agent for shares
of our Common Stock. Until we engage such a transfer agent, we will be
responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection
with the shares of our Common Stock.
HOLDERS
As of May 26, 2011 we had 30,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issued and
outstanding held by 33 holders of record.
The selling stockholders are offering hereby up to 6,000,000 shares of common
stock at a fixed price of $0.01 per share during the entire duration of the
offering.
The 23,000,000 shares of common stock held by our President, Scott Gerardi,
and the 1,000,000 shares of common stock held by Jonathan W. Marshall are
not eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 until the company is no longer a
shell company and adequate information (Form 10 information) has been
available to the market for a period of twelve months.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
This section of the Registration Statement includes a number of forward-
looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future
events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often
identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend,
project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to
future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our
predictions. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in
this Prospectus. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be
construed to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will
necessarily continue into the future.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
--------
We have a limited operational history. From our inception on December 20,
2010 to February 28, 2011 we did not generate any revenues. We anticipate
that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and our
ability to generate any revenues in the next 12 months continues to be
uncertain.
Expenses
--------
During the year ended February 28, 2011 we incurred total operating expenses
of $4,346, classified as general & administrative. These expenses included
organizational expenses and audit expenses.
From our inception on December 20, 2010 to February 28, 2011 we incurred
total operating expenses of $4,346.
Net Loss
--------
During the year ended February 28, 2011 we incurred a net loss of $4,346.
From our inception on December 20, 2010 to February 28, 2011 we incurred a
net loss of $4,346.

PLANNED OPERATIONS
Over the next twelve months our planned operations consist primarily of
building our infrastructure and customer base.

Our subsequent milestones are based on the number of reseller agreements
entered into. The timing of achieving subsequent milestones cannot be
reliably determined, as noted above. Due to the uncertainty of establishing
the timing of future milestones, the associated costs, likewise cannot be
reasonably estimated.
At present we are not able to estimate when we will be able to generate
sustained revenues. The Company expects to be in a better position to
project its milestones and its ability to generate sustained revenues at such
time as the Company is able to fully implement its business plan and believes
that projections beyond its first milestone would be speculative.
31
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of February 28, 2011 we had $45,851 in cash, $45,851 in total assets, $122
in total liabilities, working capital of $45,729 and an accumulated deficit
of $4,346.
During the year ended February 28, 2011 we used net cash of $4,224 in
operations, generated cash of $50,075 from financing activities and had no
cash flows from investing activities. From our inception on December 20,
2010 to February 28, 2011 we used net cash of $4,224 in operations, generated
cash of $50,075 from financing activities and had no cash flows from
investing activities.
We are dependent on funds raised through equity financing and loans from our
President. Since our inception on December 20, 2010, we have raised proceeds
of $50,000 in cash from the sale of our common stock.
Over the next twelve months we expect to require $200,000 in financing to
commence our planned operations. Our current cash resources are insufficient
to finance our planned expenditures. We estimate that our current cash
resources will be sufficient to finance our operations, at the current level
of activity, for a period of twelve months, which estimate includes the
additional expenses the Company will incur upon becoming a reporting company.
We do not expect to have significant capital expenditures in the after the
next twelve months. To successfully commence our planned operations we will
need to raise approximately $200,000 in additional financing. We anticipate
raising the funds through the sale of our common stock and further loans from
our President. However, there are no assurances that we will be able to
raise funds via either of these two options. Our ability to raise financing
in the equity markets are uncertain as the equity markets, in recent years,
have been depressed especially for start-up companies like ourselves. We
expect that our President will extend further loans to us but he has no
obligation or commitment to do so.
GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
We have not generated any revenues since inception. As of February 28, 2011
we had accumulated losses of $4,346. Our independent auditors included a
paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding
concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial
statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances
that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial
statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or
classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications
of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.
32
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would
affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk
support or other benefits.

one-year terms without any compensation.
Term of Office
Our director was appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next

with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and
hold office until the next annual meeting of the board of directors and until

earlier resignation or removal by the board.
Audit Committee
---------------
The company does not presently have an Audit Committee. The sole member of the
Board sits as the Audit Committee. No qualified financial expert has been
hired because the company is too small to afford such expense.
Committees and Procedures
-------------------------
(1) The registrant has no standing audit, nominating and compensation
committees of the Board of Directors, or committees performing
similar functions. The Board acts itself in lieu of committees due
to its small size.
(2) The view of the board of directors is that it is appropriate for the
registrant not to have such a committee because its director
participate in the consideration of director nominees and the
board and the company are so small.
(3) The members of the Board who acts as nominating committee is
not independent, pursuant to the definition of independence of a
national securities exchange registered pursuant to section 6(a)
of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(a).
(4) The nominating committee has no policy with regard to the
consideration of any director candidates recommended by security
holders, but the committee will consider director candidates
recommended by security holders.
(5) The basis for the view of the board of directors that it is
appropriate for the registrant not to have such a policy is that
there is no need to adopt a policy for a small company.
(6) The nominating committee will consider candidates recommended by
security holders, and by security holders in submitting such
recommendations.
35
(7) There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the nominating
committee believes must be met by a nominee recommended by security
holders except to find anyone willing to serve with a clean
background.
(8) The nominating committee's process for identifying and evaluation
of nominees for director, including nominees recommended by security
holders, is to find qualified persons willing to serve with a clean
backgrounds. There are no differences in the manner in which the
nominating committee evaluates nominees for director based on
whether the nominee is recommended by a security holder, or found
by the board.

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics for the Board and any salaried employees.

Special Note:

plans.
As of the date hereof, there have been no grants of stock options to purchase

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about
the ownership of our common stock on March 24, 2011 relating to those
persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by
our named Executive Officer and Directors.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate
beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial
ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder
has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of
common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after
March 24, 2011 pursuant to options, warrants, conversion privileges or
other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock,
however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose
ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of
Monster Offers common stock. The Company does not have any outstanding
options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible into
shares of its common stock.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Our sole officer/director is also our primary shareholder. Our sole
officer/director controls 23,000,000 shares of our common stock, or
approximately 77% of our outstanding common stock.
The Company's Director has contributed office space for our use for all
periods presented. There is no charge to us for the space, and the director
will not seek compensation for the use of this space.
Our sole officer and director, Scott J. Gerardi can be considered a promoter
of Accend Media in consideration of his participation and managing of the
business of the company since its incorporation.
INDEMNIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our director and officer is indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify our director and
officer against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our director, officer
and controlling person pursuant to the provisions described above, or
otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or
controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the
opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS & CONSULTANTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
-------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Accend Media,
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Accend Media, (A
Development Stage Company) as of February 28, 2011 and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended
February 28, 2011 and from inception (December 20, 2010) to February 28,
2011. Accend Media, management is responsible for these financial statements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
company's internal control over the financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our 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 Accend Media (A Development
Stage Company) as of February 28, 2011, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the period ended February 28, 2011 and from inception
(December 20, 2010) to February 28, 2011 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to 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.

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 year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

since inception.

The Company has selected February 28 as its year-end.
Advertising
-----------
Advertising is expensed when incurred. There has been no advertising costs
incurred during the current period.
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.
NOTE 3 - Going concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company has not commenced its planned principal
operations and it has not generated any revenues. In order to obtain the
necessary capital, the Company is seeking equity and/or debt financing.
There are no assurances that the Company will be successful, without
sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as
a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 5. Related Party Transactions
The Company does not lease or rent any property. Office services are
provided without charge by a director. Such costs are immaterial to the
financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein.
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.
On December 20, 2010, the Company issued 20,000,000 shares of its Common

On December 20, 2010, a director of the Company contributed capital of $75

Codification ASC 740 "Income Taxes". ASC 740 requires use of the liability

NOTE 6. Provision for Income Taxes (continued)
method. ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes,
referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax
rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax
assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
As of February 28, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards
of $4,346 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income
through 2011. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these
losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their
realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company
has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to
these tax loss carry-forwards. Net operation losses will begin to expire in
2030.
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance,
are as follows at February 28, 2011:
2011
--------
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forward $ 4,346
Less: valuation allowance (4,346)
---------
Net deferred tax assets $ -
---------
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of February 28, 2011
was $4,346. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income in the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred
tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more
likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of
February 28, 2011.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying
the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income
taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

At February 28, 2011, we had an unused net operating loss carryover
approximating $4,346 that is available to offset future taxable income
which expires beginning 2030.

The Company has no lease or other obligations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, "Equity
(Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of
Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". This
amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to
shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit
on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for
purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. This update is effective for
interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would
be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the
provisions of ASU 2010- 01 to have a material effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in
originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was
effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period
ended June 30, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material
impact on our financial statements.

the Company in connection with the Offering of the Common Stock included in
this registration statement:

Legal fees and miscellaneous expenses* $ 1,000
Audit Fees $ 3,500
Transfer Agent Fees* $ 900
Printing* $ 403
-------
Total $ 4,810
=======
*Estimated expenses
All amounts are estimates other than the Commission's registration fee. We
are paying all expenses of the Offering listed above. No portion of these
expenses will be borne by the selling stockholders. The selling
stockholders, however, will pay any other expenses incurred in selling their
Common Stock, including any brokerage commissions or costs of sale.
Item 14 Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes and our bylaws. Under the NRS, unless modified by a corporation's
articles of incorporation, a director is not liable to a corporation, its
stockholders or creditors for damages unless the director's action or failure
constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and such breach involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Our bylaws provide that we
will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permissible
under Nevada law if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable
cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The Company may purchase and
maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any
individual entitled to indemnity. Our bylaws also provide that we will
advance all expenses incurred to any person entitled to indemnity upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said
amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled
to indemnification.
II-1
Our bylaws further provide that discretionary indemnification may be
authorized (a) by the stockholders; (b) by the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
proceeding; or (c) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion (i) if
ordered by a majority vote of disinterested directors or (ii) if a quorum of
disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
Item 15 Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We issued 24,000,000 shares of common stock on December 20, 2010 and
February 28, 2011 to Scott Gerardi, our sole officer and director. One
million (1,000,000) of these shares were subsequently transferred to
Jonathan W. Marshall on March 1, 2011 in private transaction. These shares
were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") at a price of $0.001 per share, for total consideration of
$32,000.00. The 24,000,000 shares of common stock are restricted shares as
defined in the Securities Act.
During the month of February, 2011, we sold 6,000,000 shares of our common
stock to 31 purchasers, each at a price of $0.003 per share. The total
amount we received from this offering was $18,000. We completed this
offering pursuant an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S
promulgated under the Securities Act. No sales involved the use of an
underwriter and no commissions were paid in connection with the sale of any
securities. Each purchaser represented to us that they were a non-US person
as defined in Regulation S. We did not engage in distribution of these
offerings in the United States. Appropriate legends were affixed to the
stock certificate issued to each purchaser in accordance with Regulation S.
None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly,
there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No
registration rights were granted to any of the purchasers. The shares were
sold to personal acquaintances of the sole officer and director of the
Company, and none of the purchasers is, to the knowledge of the Company, in
the business of underwriting securities.

Item 17 Undertakings
(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) (230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement.
II-3
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(B) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the
opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(C) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying
on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall
be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the
date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that
is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement
that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of
the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to
such date of first use.
