Overview
Pazoo (“Pazoo”) was incorporated in Nevada on November 16, 2010 under the name “IUCSS, Inc.” A name change from IUCSS, Inc. to Pazoo occurred on May 9, 2011. We are a health and wellness company.

Sources of Revenue
We currently have three lines of business relating to and revolving around the health and wellness arena:
? Advertising Revenue from Our Website, www.pazoo.com. Through advertising providers and agencies, pazoo.com is paid for every ad impression that appears on a page for which a visitor goes to. As we build our visitor base, ad revenue will increase. However, just having the traffic does not effectively increase advertising revenue. To get the full value of each visitor, the time on site must be long enough so that a visitor is interested in going to multiple pages for which there are ads on each page. The only way this will transpire is if the visitor’s experience is gratifying. This is why pazoo.com is so focused on quality content that’s interesting and informative. A bad visitor experience will result in a low time on site and fewer page views. Internet tracking tools have much improved over the past decade and will continue to improve in the coming years, especially when it comes to advertising and overall website analytics. Pazoo continues to constantly improve is this area at all times. Pazoo.com has seen a strong increase in its viewership as shown by the recent average time spent on site for the period March 2014 to May 2014 of five minutes and forty seconds versus three minutes and twenty-seven seconds for the same time period from December 2013 to February 2014 with the same amount of page views.
Pazoo.com has a unique and compelling online marketing platform. Pazoo.com offers the following important marketing advantages to its target audiences:
1. A comprehensive solution as a content source – information on a full spectrum of disciplines within the health and wellness marketplace;
2. Health and wellness experts that have expertise in these varied disciplines and write about their areas expertise; and
3. Content that is both for the health and wellness of people as well as their pets (over 60% of American homes have pets).
1. An e-commerce platform that is functional;
2. Relationships with manufacturers, distributors and other e-commerce companies so that increasing product offerings will not be time consuming;
3. Members on the pazoo.com content team with merchandising experience: i.e. a Pazoo expert is buyer of pet products for a large pet retailer; and
4. Members on the pazoo.com content team that are experienced in e-commerce marketing; i.e. we will look to offer our consumers low cost and timely delivery of product by negotiating with shipping companies to offer a flat rates on various products.
? Pharmaceutical Testing Facilities. We entered this arena through our recent acquisition of a 40% minority equity stake in MA & Associates, LLC. MA & Associates was launched in September of 2013 to provide quality control services to the medical cannabis industry. MA & Associates’ primary mission is to protect the public health by providing infrastructure and analytical services to legally authorized distributors and producers of cannabis and to regulators tracking their operations.
The company will provide the medical cannabis industry guidelines on how the regulation and inspection by public health authorities is to be implemented. MA & Associates’ primary customer base includes all of the licensed cannabis cultivators, in the State of Nevada, and their customers are required by law to have their products tested before they can be transferred to the dispensaries. As such, we are in a unique position to provide the mandated health and safety testing upon which this burgeoning industry must hinge.
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
